It's abnormal if she hasn't seen it at age 5.

No group of people hate Africans and AA's more than the Japanese do. They hate them more than they hate Koreans, which is funny because DNA testing shows that all Japanese are descended from Koreans (except the Ainu, who are Caucasian.) The Japanese even have their own untouchable caste (butchers and leatherworkers). Japanese parents often kill their children if they cross that particular line.

Modern Germans are pretty decent, in comparison.

Probably. There are even pizzerias in Ha Noi. Really good ones. Cambodians love pizza but tend to include killer weed as an ingredient. It's called Happy Pizza. Really. I'll be eating one in Kampot again in a few months.

Pizza is universal.

I found a halal butcher and a kosher butcher with shops next to each other in Ha Noi (an incredibly cosmopolitan city). They were best friends.

We fought on the wrong side in that war.

And the doner kebab stands there are to die for (or from, depending on the stand).

Or to put it in more colloquial terms: y'all can't say "we don't serve yer kind here" if the "kind" is based on race, sex, age, ethnicity or religion. And yes, the fact that they're both dudes falls under "sex".

These myths have power (you won't believe me, so ask Neil Gaiman). It isn't the myths that are the problem here, it is the hypocrites who abuse their power. Remember what that mythical figure said about hypocrites? It wasn't friendly.

Right, but the fundie assholes treat it as heretical precisely because it DOESN'T have a god

Problem with that is the cake itself is not gay. It cannot have a sexual orientation no matter how many rainbows and unicorns one draws on it.

And no, it does not resolve the fact the baker is a bigot. Still.

Yes, often providing proof instead of refuting the charge.

I was under the impression the cake would have contained text or some other decoration that expressed same sex marriage. However, while revisiting this story I discovered I was mistaken about that.

It does change how I feel about this.

Ten bucks an ozzie, the good old days. I have factoids at my disposal as to why the price went up, but I will restrain myself.
