The labeling of homophobia is widely misused IMO, the reason I say that, myself, I don’t have any problem what so ever working with, doing business with, actually even being around Gay people, I am not offended or uncomfortable with them being homosexual, I do have a problem with public affection in relatively busy public places, the majority of my issue with that is such acts in front of children, that goes for heterosexual as well.
If I started just tonguing my wife and licking her neck out in public, I am sure people would feel I am being disrespectful and very inappropriate.
The cake deal, I don’t agree with, making and selling a Gay couple a cake shouldn’t have been an issue IMO, they are no different than any other customer, they should have been treated the same as anyone else.
I have been to Japan and Vietnam, and I was very impressed how both of those countries conduct thier relations as well as how law is law, double standards are not a option.
Many oriental people bring thier culture to the US, thier standards of living as well as thier morals and values, I have a lot of respect for our oriental communties, they are really outstanding people.
On the flag issue, we primarily have two nationalities in my state that protest with thier flags, that being Mexican and very seldom, but now and then Middle Eastern countries, primarily Mexicans do this is my state though, some here on a green card, many here illegally. We have what they call day labor drop off work areas here, it’s pretty obvious these Mexican people are not Mexican Americans, nor a majority of green card legal Mexican people, they speak zero English, so I would suspect they are here illegally, of course they need to work to live, and people go to those day labor posts and put them to work, but it is sad and wrong at the same time, but I have never seen law enforcement at any of the day labor posts checking anything, this has been going on in my state since I was a teenager, so aloooong time now, I don’t expect any changes, but illegal should be illegal, period IMO
That is an issue with me, and for this reason, if one loves thier country enough to come into the streets of America and represent thier flag against America, then they love thier country more than they love America, therefore they probably should be in thier homeland IMO, But, apparently they didn’t love thier homeland country enough to fight for themselves nor the people of thier county so they could have a good life in thier country. So I feel disrespected when protest break out and I see immigrants in our streets waving thier homeland flag.
