And now Mississippi, trying to one-up North Carolina

idk I like how they're at least being consistent by also including straight couples who have sex outside of marriage. [none]

(though the amount of outrage I'm seeing over what's basically daily life in my country - the forms of anti-LGBT discrimination it enables has always been legal here, like duh, you don't tell your colleagues you're gay because you might get fired - is making me think that maybe I should move after all. but I love my job.)

Wow.

This makes me wonder if the Ku-Klux-Klan might turn out to be useful idiots. After all, they may have sincerely held religious beliefs or moral convictions that "races" should be kept separate, and that Africans are inferior.
After all, there's the curse of Canaan, which makes as much sense as the notion of an "immutable biological sex as objectively determined by anatomy and genetics"; meaning: None at all.

I'm glad I live in Europe; and I guess that being born there, as a white, straight-oriented, cisgendered, able-bodied male can be considered a privilege.
Common sense is another word for prejudice.

Yeah; the thing about privilege is that a lot of it isn't about getting good things as about avoiding bad things - it's the privilege of being able to have a 'normal' life, which isn't actually that normal, statistically speaking on a global scale.
