I like how the presumably straight sibling comments don't seem to know what the "alternative lifestyles" dog whistle means in context here. There is a long history of saying being lgbt is a lifestyle choice.

I'm genuinely fascinated by what negative effects you perceive of people who are gay, trans, ace being able to live their lives openly instead of being forced to pretend otherwise and ultimately failing at it.

What is gained by society by forcing a lesbian into a straight marriage? You've just created a sexless marriage with extra steps.




We all know what the "traditional lifestyles" means and that the OP is clearly anti-LGBT but we have to pretend that we don't know what it means and ask them to explain.

I think the point is than in Islam women have no choice but to sex with their husbands without a "good reason". For men it is marginally less obliged, but still expected that they should have sex with their women (though it is not as explicitly urgent, it seems, as for women to spread their legs when required).

Still, having sex with someone who's not really into it sounds fairly unappealing to me.


For sure, especially under an article about LGBT, its super clear what this means

I'm pretty sure we all knew that. It's just funnier to get them to say it themselves. Also I aint straight.
