nice try mister Dean, but my countryman wrote THIS [@topic "Are gays and lesbians are welcome at PA?" page2]:

have a nice day!

I know what 'he' wrote, but I did not need to quote 'him' directly as that would only have provoked another of 'his' self-pitying protestations. 'He' listed three reasons, of which I picked two to comment upon as the third was superfluous; 'he' did not list one reason that had three conditions that had to be true for 'him' to support LBGT demands...

Then, perhaps you should actually read read what I wrote and not what you think I said. Evil Smile

In their defense, the orthodox church has a clear position on homosexuality. Nobody is forcing you to agree with them, but their priests probably should actually follow their own religion

Thankfully the world have changed a bit the last 40 years or so. Back in the golden age of the 1970's, things were not as simple.

This verges on ugly-- further, I'd think someone in Canada couldn't give a rat's ass what's happening in Texas.

Please BaldFriede don't insult your own country by daring to compare Bavaria (or any place on Earth really) to Texas

I never said it's a bad thing. Just that Bavaria doesn't tend to have a lot of immigrants from Mexico.

There is a common saying in Germany: "Bavaria is no longer Germany and not yet Austria".

Many things are different in Bavaria. It is for example the only one of the 16 federal states of Germany in which there is no Christian Democratic Union (one of the major political parties in Germany) but where you have the Christian Social Union instead. The CSU is a sister party of the CDU, but there are often tensions between them. These tensions have a big impact on the political life in Germany.

In the days of Franz Josef Strauss the CSU got around 70% of the votes in Bavaria, a lot more than any other party in any other federal state. They still get by far the most votes in Bavaria. And the CSU is the most conservative of all democratic parties in Germany; it borders on right-wing extremism at times.

Yes of course you didn't mean it's a bad thing

It is in fact only due to the CSU that there still is no full-fledged homosexual marriage in Germany; all we have is a "Eingetragene Lebensgemeinschaft" ("registered life partnership"), which lacks several rights of "normal" marriages.

I was aware of that )though not of all those details) and I know Bavaria troubled history with extremism. But:

1. I have been there twice and oh my is it a beautiful place, quite unlike the horrid nothingness of TX

2. It has given us plenty of great culture, quite unlike TX

3. Even its extremists are probably less stupid than the ones in TX

Technically it's more like "Germany is no longer Bavaria," since Bavaria hasn't really changed in decades

I don't deny it is a beautiful place, and there is indeed a lot of culture there. Munich is the third biggest city in Germany, after Berlin and Hamburg and before Cologne (those four cities are the only German cities with a population of over a million). And then there is of course the Bayreuth festival each year.

We live in Cologne, by the way.

The saying is not meant in a temporal way but in a geographical way

I've been in three of the four. And oh how I long to go to Bayreuth one day to the Festspiele.

So, going back to the subject, that's why I would never compare anything to TX. A place where idiocy takes new forms every day. And on top of that, a very bland looking place.
