What’s confusing me about all this is why does someone feel they have the right to tell me with whom I can or can’t sleep, but it doesn’t seem to work the other way and I can’t order them (on pain of imprisonment or worse) to sleep with whom I decide? At the very least, that’s just plain rude; at worst, it’s outright fascist. 🤔

I genuinely don’t get homophobia. I have many petty prejudices, some rational and some irrational, but hating on someone for whom they’re dating isn’t one of them. For one thing, no one consciously chooses who they fancy, but even if it were a conscious decision, it still wouldn’t bother me one iota a man getting with another consenting man or a woman getting with another consenting woman. What I resent is other people being able to dictate by law what another must do or not do in this matter. I always think in these cases: How would the lawmakers/homophobes like it if they were told with whom they could or couldn’t get? I don’t think they would like it at all and they’d be right not to like it. To me, being homophobic is as pointless, irrational and moronic as feeling resentful of someone for digging Uranus because you’re not an astronomer.

@morojkiller5418 Huh? I just laid it out for you. Why doesn’t it work both ways?

Ah, fair Nimes. As soon as I stepped out the station up that gorgeous wee alley of tumbling water and trees between Ave. Feucheres, leading up to Les Arenes, I knew I was in a spot to savour. It was July. The cicadas were providing that quintessential Midi soundtrack with their crazy buzzing, the buildings has that faded grandeur/shabby-chic look that France does like no other country on Earth (save Italy), and the general vibe was one of satisfied torpor in the summer sun. Sure, there’s not much to the place. To call it France’s Rome is to grossly insult the scale and richness of the Eternal City, but what there is, including, of course, the superbly preserved aforementioned Les Arenes and Maison Carree, is worth a day of anyone’s life.
