No, the right thing to do ...

What do you mean "No, the right thing to do ..."? When you start by saying "No" that means you are disagreeing with what ara87 said. What he said is very true. Do you disagree?

Fantastic speech.

Presentation or content?

For me, a good presenter/salesman.
Probably he could sell snow to the eskimos.

No, the right thing to do is give Blacks and native americans their own government.... you know... how America goes around dividing people in the rest of the world.

Said like someone who enjoys privilege that others do not. That's who denies that others are mistreated in any way; people with privilege who never experience the same.

Like what privilege? We all live under the same laws and under the same privileges. Only an idiot would WANT to get governed under western family laws, lol.

I think I heard on the TV once that boys have a penis and girls have a vagina.

That is a quote from the film "Kindergarten Cop," so you probably did

..the link between the physical traits and sexuality isn't fully understood yet.

Gender =/= Sexuality. Sexuality is more like your sexual character, aka heterosexual, bisexual, homosexual, etc.

Thus genetalia which are a physical trait, are an indicator of only gender (unless of course you are transgendered), not who we are attracted to.

Everyone has rights except the straight male.... wait, you have the right to remain silent.

Giving rights to others does not take rights away from yourself. For example giving minorities such as Black Americans, Native Americans, Women(of all races), etc the right to vote and own land, etc, did not take white men's right to own land or vote.

I wouldn't say it's about rights, rather in some places the political correctness is so over-the-top that you as part of the majority feel burdened.

The gays have their own club in central yerevan and when you see them they are rather open about who they are. In my view they complain to much. They have these rights, and now they expect everybody to accept them??

I am sure there is some intolerance against gays and lesbians in Armenia but I don't think that the percentage is as high as it is revealed in this study. What people would say they would do when they found out that a relative is gay is different than what they would do when a relative actually is gay.
