The American Bar Association has amended its rules of ethics. Its anti-discrimination/harassment provision now adds the words: "Harassment includes sexual harassment and derogatory or demeaning verbal or physical contacts."

Ronald Reagan's Attorney General Edwin Meese is contends that his new provision is "unchristian" and will subject attorneys to disbarment if they attend church. :crazyeye:
 
I don't follow his blog, but I had to skip over a few of his comics because they got nauseatingly political.
 
But is it a rant or why are you quoting Dr Phil's show?
it's...not really a rant

iono

it's more of a "I want to post this but where should I do it **** it let's put it here"

Scott Adams has...not covered himself in glory when discussing Trump specifically and the 2016 election in general. Let's just leave it at that.
 
he would rather play the video games than be with me sexually

I'm sorry to interrupt, but so was this comment real or just a reference to Dr. Phil? I fancied you to be one of CFC LGBT people for a second.

So he usually sexually harasses people, speaks to them in a derogatory manner, and/or behaves to them in a derogatory physical manner while he's at church? :hmm: And it's "unchristian" to tell him that such behaviors are wrong?

Yikes.

I generally ignore comedians when they start political opinions, except when the show itself is about it e.g. Stephen Colbert's*.


*the twin cousin of the copyrighted Stephen Colbert, btw. Not the other one whom we cannot bring up because he's coyprighted.

Just a reference to Dr. Phil. I think that that...fine gentleman's...attempts to handle video gaming are pretty funny. There are some pretty hilarious lines in there, like:

"...in real life has low self-esteem, is socially very awkward, yet in the game, they become a great warrior."

"He went on a three-week video game bender that cost him his health, job, and wife!"

As for LGBT...it's complicated.
 
Well, according to a YouGov poll in 2015, 23% of British adults chose a position on the Kinsey scale other than 0 (totally heterosexual), rising to a startling 46% of adults aged 18-24. I attribute that to people being more willing to discuss such matters these days.
 
Rant - So guilty and ashamed about being in love with my straight friend

I met her two years ago. We started hanging out a lot - going to concerts together, parties, poetry evenings, bars, clubs.

At that time I had no clue about her orientation. She really liked to cuddle, we got along really well, I think. We are both writers, I write prose, she writes poetry. I wrote a short story about her and she really liked it.

She is a disabled person, has a very poor eyesight. Therefore I had to escort her around the city often, had to help her in daily stuff. I grew very fond of her in the process. She is a bit helpless due to this, I was so happy to be there for her.

Two years ago in Autumn after a long cuddling session I was going to totally kiss her, but didn't dare. I had asked her childhood friends if they know if she is into girls, but they said that "She's a disabled person, probably still a virgin and reading romantic books about hetero couples don't mean too much".

My biggest mistake was falling in love with her first and asking her orientation after. She said that yes, she likes boys. She is lonely, she likes cuddling, that's it.

I was pretty broken, but I understood that I have to respect her. She doesn't want a relationship, kisses, anything further than cuddling and hugs. And I won't try to take advantage of her.
Some time passed, year ago I was quite content with my ability to be reserved towards her. We still hanged out, we went to concerts and I still treated her as if she was my gf, but I wasn't obsessed with her anymore.

Then we didn't meet for like 9 months, I was very ill. She offered to visit me at home, to stay with me, but it would have been too hard. Drinking wine with her in candle light knowing I can't touch her was already a torture once, I better be left alone.

So this summer when I finally got better, we met again. We went to children poetry matinee. I'm a teacher, I love kids. I babysit kids, teach at school, give bridge classes after regular curriculum. I was at my weakest, mellowest, seeing all the children around, hearing fairytales, enjoying the event. And she was there with me and it was heartbreaking. I even made a freudian slip by saying, I wonder if we are too young to have kids (I'm 29) meaning I would love to adopt a child and rise it together.

One week after this we went partying to bars, tried to make a poem together, drank wine and she smiled a lot. It was a nightmare.

My sister told me that you can turn off sexual craving if you wish hard enough. Well, I'm asexual. I only want cuddles, hugs and a lot of affection and romance. And a stable relationship, of course.

I feel like I have commited a sin and I can't get her out of my mind. After two years I have fallen for her again and it's so wrong on so many levels. So masochistic, hopeless, pointless...
 
You shouldn't be ashamed about being in love, only about what you do because of it.
If the other person does not love you back, well, it's crappy, whatever their sexuality, as you have to respect their wishes. *mindhug*
 
Thanks, Tak. I posted this on a lesbian subreddit and got decent advice, but since CFC is sooooo different I decided to try my luck to post it here as well.
 
…Yes, most of us here aren't lesbians. ;)

The mark of a human is how they love not who they love and by that standard you're a good human being so there's no need to feel ashamed.
