Why? This website is privately owned. And how far does this go? Should websites stay silent on issues such as SOPA/PIPA/CISPA/ACTA? What if the website owner's LIFE depended on the issue? Should he be forced to remain silent?

Further, this IS NOT a political issue! It's a political issue to anyone it doesn't directly affect, perhaps, but to the people it DOES? Can you really make the claim that James Obergefell and John Arthur viewed this issue as political? Mr. Arthur DIED before being able to say that he married the person that he loved. How on Earth could any sane person view that as political?

From what perfect point of view are you judging advanced and delayed nations ?

From the point of view that the majority of the Western world has adopted.

The solution for them is to not get married to the same sex. End of discussion.

The logo is changed to celebrate a decision that has been made, not push a political agenda.

That decision benefits a number of our staff and members, and causes no harm or hinderance to the others.

Some people also don't like different skin colors, kids or animals such as dogs on the streets either... nothing new here.

Then they probably shouldn't marry someone of the same sex.

I have a problem with gays, and I think a lot more do too.

Guess you'll just have to get over it.

What did they ever do to you?

There was a sticky here, and other mindless pictures deleted by askerkin, reason: something like "No politics in AM, please".

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor."

This is logical but off-topic, what injustice are you talking about, and what is the justice according to you ? How to prove that your point of view about injustice is the right one ?

A "public" one. I don't know what reasoning are you thinking about.

Should websites stay silent on issues such as SOPA/PIPA/CISPA/ACTA?

You are off-topic.

What if the website owner's LIFE depended on the issue? Should he be forced to remain silent?

What life and what issues ? What are talking about, seriously ?!!

Further, this IS NOT a political issue! It's a political issue to anyone it doesn't directly affect, perhaps, but to the people it DOES?

A logo will change the world and remove (I don't know what) issues ?...

How on Earth could any sane person view that as political?

Again, do not tackle complicated topics, you (as a human) are not able to say who's sane or insane.

From the point of view that the majority of the Western world has adopted.

Western world is THE right side ? Do they own the godlike reasoning to have the right to judge other nations ?
Ah yes, Majority.. The fake rule established by wrong people to impose their opinions, it has nothing to do with being right or wrong.

You answer is logical. it should be nice if other celebrations are taken into consideration. Idk, anything that makes a difference..

That decision benefits a number of our staff and members, and causes no harm or hinderance to the others.

It revives the old, old, controversial homophobic impulses.

[ddhoward]

Spoilering this because it's a wall of text and I actually care about other people on this forum.

Spoiler

what injustice are you talking about

In this particular case, it was the withholding of marriage rights from persons who happen to want to marry a person who happens to have the same type of genitalia as they do. Such a withholding has been illegal in the United States since July 28, 1868, which was affirmed by our Supreme Court just two days ago.

How to prove that your point of view about injustice is the right one ?

Logic and reason.

A "public" one. I don't know what reasoning are you thinking about.

Really? AM is publically owned? Which government runs AM? Please re-think this claim.

You are off-topic.

You claimed that websites should remain neutral on political topics. I referenced a political topic that websites have NOT been silent on. This is not off-topic.

What life and what issues ? What are talking about, seriously ?!!

You claimed that websites should remain neutral on "political" topics. Certainly there are political topics that you would cite as exceptions, correct?

A logo will change the world and remove (I don't know what) issues ?...

The logo is not to change anything. It's to celebrate a decision that "benefits a number of [AM'S] staff and members."

Again, do not tackle complicated topics, you (as a human) are not able to say who's sane or insane.

This is not a complicated topic.

Western world is THE right side ?

Yes.

It revives the old, old, controversial homophobic impulses.

Then those people will be dealt with according to the simple, "logical" forum rules.

Always be respectful to other members. Flaming or abusing members in any way will not be tolerated.

You should probably just stay off of the Internet entirely, because I'm not going anywhere.
