Me, taking three busses to the city hall meeting, getting there early so I can get my name on the list, and then waiting for three more hours until my name is called:
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO ANNOUNCE THAT I AM VERY HETEROSEXUAL."
I don't know what is worse - the fact that this kind of logic flew for centuries, or the fact that these people still don't realize that yelling "I AM DEFINITELY NOT GAY YOU CAN TELL BY HOW SERIOUS I TAKE THESE MATTERS" is honestly a pretty terrible way of convincing people you aren't gay.
That wouldn't maybe be that bad of an idea—not because of the music or the performers, but because of the inhumane conditions and abuse the performers are forced to endure in this business. I mean, many countries have banned unethical products like foie gras, ivory, trade of exotic pets and endangered animals etc.
Taking a stance of not allowing an industry's products into the country unless the industry stops unethical and damaging practices, or banning unethical products and industries completely no matter how they're sourced, can be quite effective for reducing suffering and harm.
Not surprised this comes from some dumb islamic anti-freedom fool. I couldn't even grow a beard if I tried. 😆
Guess I'd be raped on a daily basis if I lived in a country with this kind of medieval mentality prevalent throughout the population.
Or maybe that guy is just a derp talking more than he should, making a fool of himself, the religion he represents, and his country.
