It causes traditional conservatives to turn-down opportunities to participate, in greater society. It makes plain people the exception to the rule, who feel that they need safespaces and niche businesses.

I have been saying that, if I was to propose a new internet law, like the Streissand Effect or Godwin's Law, it would say that status exists as a limited quantity. No more will ever be created. It cannot be given to one person, without taking it from another.

Your status has come at the expense of others, who were making no literal attempt at policing your bedroom. Committing fashion crimes or being mildly swishy are not religious crimes, and people already accepted that it exists.

So, are you saying your traditional conservatives are no longer participating in public life because people who had been shafted due to race, religion, sexual orientation, etc, are now participating ins said public life? If so, then that's the problem that traditional conservatives have, and need to work out for themselves.
Are we supposed to just let groups who have been given the short end of the stick continue to get the short end of the stick, so that those already reaping the benefits of America won't have to lose out if those shorted groups gain opportunities and equal status? Well, it's a conservative/reactionary lie that someone gaining rights and status takes away from someone already receiving said rights and status. In a nation like ours, where equal rights and opportunities are assured to everyone in the first place, nothing is taken from someone else; it's just a matter of those groups and individuals who had been left out finally can claim what was always promised to him or her.

The meaning of King's quote is clear: Special consideration for one group based on ethnicity, (and I will extend it to gender or gender preference) is a violation of that dream. Liberals like the idea of the quote but they left the principles behind the quote a long time ago.
Character has fallen out of fashion.

And yet conservatives have an abysmal record for judging one's skin color. Every reactionary attempt to undo civil rights gains has been done by the right.

You shut down businesses with an us-or-them kind-of attitude.

And, I can understand identity politics.

I just call it what it is. If or when I do that, I am intellectually-honest and admit to it.

You don't.

Which ignores the flaming obvious that it's right wingers in the American heartland form "hate groups"
Amusing how many conservative white christian folk who believe that gay people are damned to hell
In that respect even muslims are more enlightened

Sure, I acknowledge identity politics. If a group of people have been discriminated against, then it only makes sense to stand with others of your group for strength, whether you are black, gay, or any other.

How did liberals arrive at the conclusion that, for the left, political violence qualifies as free speech, whereas for the right, free speech qualifies as political violence?

Only raging a$$holes think violence is political speech.

Know of many LGBT friendly Christian churches. There's one near where I live that has a large rainbow banner displayed.

Are there any Islamic mosques that display LGBQ banners or flags?

How open are LGBT people in Islamic countries? How are they treated?

Liberalism seems to largely consist of white people who hate white people.

Have you ever seen the Democratic national convention, then compare them to their Republican counterparts? The Democrats have a healthy mix of different ethnicities, whereas the Republicans are almost entirely lily white.
No, white liberals don't hate white people; we just don't want to whitewash history anymore, but want to redress past wrongs.

Oh, yes. The Democratic National Convention. Having attended two conventions, should I describe my run-ins with the Secret Service agents, or how Florida delegates flooded the Utah delegation seats (and refused to leave) when Joe Lieberman accepted the nomination for vice president? Seats are highly regulated and can be seen by ushers as theft (especially when recorded votes are pending and delegates are required to sit with their own delegations or leave the convention floor). Needless to say, some Florida VIPs without credentials probably still despise Utah for having them ejected from their "Joementum" moment.

Racial compositions at DNC Convention are dictated to the state parties, and affirmative action and quotas still control much of the process. Even Democraic super delegates loathe the quotas. The Republican National Convention doesn't make such artificial requirements and lets each delegate be who they are without the help of quotas.

I learned enough about the Democratic Party in my years with it to realize that I wanted nothing to do with its practices (which have nothing to do with its recognized ideals).

Some people say that just ends up keeping past wrongs and the tensions connected to them alive and in the forefront. When Morgan Freeman was asked how are we going to get rid of racism he said, stop talking about it. But I think maybe the conservatives are nazis and liberals love everyone, except all those nazis, is really just a DNC political propaganda strategy.

This is called the fruit loop. (No pun intended.)

I am not talking in circles, as I have always asserted my own right, not to be an accessory, to sexual perversion.

The fact that human anatomy can be assorted in different numbers and poses, has never been a revelation in any time or place.

And, the fact that we are still discussing this shows a shortcoming on the part of nominal conservatives. Sexual decadence is not an example of cultural conservatism, in light of the heterosexual norm. It is not an example of legal conservatism, in that it's protected by the govt, against commonlaw. And, it's not an example of fiscal conservatism, when it is propped up, by my earnings, against my express sayso.

He was a bad example of conservative, was given a hand up, and then bit the hand which feeds him. You have taken obvious subversives under your wing, hypocritically, and they are not even grateful. It alienates people, who were better examples. Your moral compromise has discouraged everyone.

Even so, the Democrats at least have minorities to showcase. The Republican party is still a white out snow storm.

Sexual perversion? Are you talking about homosexuality and gay marriage? I'll remind you, LGBT Americans are just that - Americans - and are deserving of all the rights accorded to everyone else, including loving who they want to love. If you don't like it, then don't marry someone of the same gender.
