5. Interesting premise...
Edited on Tue Oct-17-06 12:09 AM by hlthe2b
on edit: I'm going to use another instance where a group of individuals is discriminated against from biggoted aspects of society: those who are HIV infected and manifesting the advanced symptoms of AIDS:

Interesting premise...but by the same token, having AIDS is simply having an illness and should be treated no differently than any other. However, by revealing someone has AIDS, and despite the legal protections, that person may face discrimination, loss of job, or other harm. So, when society in general, is not where we all might be on progressive web sites, it seems there is an additional important consideration.

Having said that, I'm all for exposing those, who are willfully acting to hurt others who share their sexual identity. :shrug: I wouldn't condone doing so otherwise, however.
