I notice you're using one element of American conservatism in order to tarnish all American conservatives.

A lot of American conservatives would be horrified at the actions of US Christian fundamentalists behaving the way they do in regard to Uganda. I'm very conservative and I find it totally and utterly abhorrent.


Israel has a strategic importance that Uganda does not have. Furthermore, homosexuals will be targetted by Muslim Fanatics in Uganda too.

The situation in Uganda is a complete and utter mess and all sides are about the same in their morality or lack thereof.

Lebanon isn't much better than Uganda when it comes to LGBT's rights.

Quote:
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons living in Lebanon may face cultural, legal and social challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Homosexuality remains a crime in Lebanon.
A poll done by the Pew Research Center in 2007 shows that 79% of Lebanese believe "Homosexuality should be rejected", as opposed to 18% who believe "homosexuality should be accepted".[2]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Lebanon

I would estimate that about 10% of the voters are LGBT themselves, leaving only 8% of the straight population who don't reject homosexuality, that means that most Christians reject gays too.

There's only one organization working for the LGBT's rights: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helem

If Israel falls so too will most of Europe. And then we'll all be done for.


This is largely BS. I'm not sure how long Israel will last without reforms, but I'm rather certain the region won't be obliterated, especially since a lot of Rabble Rousing Governments in the Middle East say one thing (Don't attack Iran - Saudi Arabia) in public and do another behind closed doors (US, attack Iran - Saudi Arabia, according to Wikileaks).

Israel is predominantly unstable because of the unethical practices it engages in in relation to the Occupied Territories. It would be much more rational to consider them part of Israeli proper or rename Israel after merging with the Occupied Territories and giving Palestinians in those areas full citizenship rights.

I sometimes wonder how much simpler things might be if an Israeli nuclear reactor would go haywire and force everyone to evacuate the country for decades due to irradiation

Quote:
Bigender, bi-gender or bi+gender describes a tendency to move between feminine and masculine gender-typed behaviour depending on context. Some bigendered individuals express a distinctly "en femme" persona and a distinctly "en homme" persona, feminine and masculine respectively; others have shades of grey between the two. It is recognized by the American Psychological Association (APA) as a subset of the transgender group.[1] A 1999 survey conducted by the San Francisco Department of Public Health observed that, among the transgendered community, less than 3% of those who were genetic males and less than 8% of those who were genetic females identified as bigender.[2]
While an androgynous person retains the same gender-typed behaviour across situations, the bigendered person consciously or unconsciously changes their gender-role behaviour from primarily masculine to primarily feminine, or vice versa.

It is worth noting that this concept emerged from within the transgender community itself, rather than being adopted after it was created by another sub-culture (for example, transsexual was defined first by the mental health community).

Because bigender is still a self-applied label, it is not possible to give a definitive outline of the typical bigendered person. Any description of a bigendered person is just an example of what someone who identifies as bigender might be like. Although there are patterns, the only firm characteristic is the sense of dual gender.

It might seem that a bigender identity must go with a bisexual identity but gender identity and sexual orientation are independent. It is possible to be bigender and not bisexual, or bisexual but not bigender.

For some bigender people, labels like gay, lesbian or bisexual can seem less relevant or satisfactory due to their focus on physiological sex. Some might prefer terms that refer to gender (see Gynephilia and androphilia) while others might prefer to not specify a sexual orientation at all. Since bigender is a gender-related term, not an erotic one, a bigender person can be asexual. :wink:
