Can you even call it a sport if you're not causing brain damage?

I think I've solved that whole kerfuffle. In the name of equality and fairness, don't have womens/mens and girls/boys sports. You have one team and the top 15 basketball players make the team, top 40 football players, top 25 hockey players. No need to worry about transgender, no title one bullshit for highschool and college, no complaints about why women athletes don't make as much money. You are either good enough to play the sport or you are not.

Get rid of weight classes as well. If the 120 pound boxer can't take a punch from a 300 pound beefcake, he doesn't deserve to be in the ring.
i also agree as long as we do the same for students academically. all that matters is the top test scores, period.

Isn't that already the case?
I've never heard of anyone being graded on a curve based on BMI.

I'd pay to see a 300 pound female boxer and a 120 pound transgender boxer go at it.

Like, I'm sorry that I'm not interested in finding a compromise between "ban gay people" and "don't ban gay people". A "best law" that only lets you be gay on Tuesdays and Thursdays with parental supervision just doesn't have much appeal, sorry.
Statements like the above are the reason I left this shithole of a forum long before I largely checked out of the site.
There's not one single bill that has ever received even debate at the Federal level that amounted to "ban gay people". Yet those on the right and those on the left allows bullshit statements like Corndog's to go largely unchallenged.
That "don't say gay" bill that generated literally HUNDREDS of mainstream media citations whose breathless headlines included the words "don't say gay" reference a Florida bill that literally contains...ZERO mentions of the phrase "don't say gay". The HEADLINES were a screaming LIE, and everything that followed in the articles amounted to just made-up bullshit. I repeat: the words "don't", "say", "gay", appear exactly zero places in that bill, YET you all (and the rest of the country) have allowed yourselves to debate it under those corrupted terms.
Those of you on the right should be ashamed of yourselves. You've allowed yourselves to be cowed into silence.
Those of you on the left should similarly be ashamed of yourselves. When you sit quietly when one of your own affiliation outright LIES about your side's position, you shouldn't be surprised that your friends and neighbors think you're stupid at best and cowardly at worst. You want gays to get a fair shot at life? GOOD, most of us do! But shut your own colleagues down when they blatantly LIE about what the other side is proposing.
In short, speak up when JACKASSES like Corndog misrepresent what is going on the world. Neither of your positions are going to gain traction if you keep on pretending to "debate" nonsense that both sides of you know to be untrue.
Every one of you, regardless of political position, need to man-up and stop allowing bullshit positions to be taken seriously.

What a riveting contribution.

Glad you were sure to include "at the federal level" though. Maybe it's because you know at the state level states had laws on the book against gay people as recently as 2003?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodomy_laws_in_the_United_States
Fourteen states still had laws banning homosexuality in 2003 when SCOTUS rules against them. Glad we don't have activist nominated by an unpopular cheeto willing to throw out precedent to serve their political ideology.

Sodomy is not exclusive to queer people.

What if you are the only one in this forum that is taking the bullshit position seriously? Does that mean that you need to man up?

Several of them were exclusively same sex sodomy.

But like, it's just a flat out absurd argument to act like the GOP would never dare try to take rights away from the queer community.
Like, a few years ago the same people were on here arguing that same sex marriage shouldn't be legal. Which is also likely the next right to be rolled back.
