This subreddit is by and for people who are Gender and Sexual Minorities (GSM), including but by no means limited to LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) people, and respect for our diversity and experiences is paramount. All are welcome to participate who agree to follow the rules outlined below and in:

The r/lgbt FAQ


IRC Chat: irc.synirc.net #rlgbt - info and rules


Rules

  • Rule 1: No homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, racism, serophobia, or misogyny. If you are unclear about what may constitute any of the above, please see the LGBT FAQ. If you are using triggering language in an educational or demonstrative capacity, we ask that you please wrap it in a trigger warning, e.g. [problematic language](/trigger). If you are submitting a post that contains hateful remarks or triggering language, please precede your post's title with [TW]. For example: "[TW] Title of Post"

  • Rule 2: Demonstrate a willingness to learn. This is a safe space. Anyone can make a mistake and accidentally say something hurtful or triggering. If you find yourself corrected for making this error, please try to learn from it. This is not a place to tell people that they need to reclaim a pejorative so you can use it, that they should laugh at jokes about them, or that they otherwise just "shouldn't be so sensitive." For lightly moderated LGBT-related discussion, we recommend /r/ainbow. /r/ainbow does not moderate discussion, but the community will expect that you treat them with respect. For more information, see /r/ainbow's FAQ.

  • Rule 3: Meta discussion will be directed to /r/LGBTOpenModmail. The mods check it frequently and will take suggestions into consideration.

  • Rule 4: Threads that seem to have been taken over by off-topic and/or excessively inflammatory discussion due to linking from other subreddits (Including but not limited to ShitRedditSays, SubredditDrama, and MensRights) will be deleted so they do not appear on r/lgbt's front page. They will still be accessible from outside links. Deleted threads may be unmoderated, so keep this in mind. They are officially disowned and you are on your own if you participate in them.

I don't know why but I wasn't expecting that. Give that man a gold star!

Due to his NRA/"western movies" public image it's easy to lump him with the "Gun-totting bible-thumping backwater hicks" pretty quickly. However (from what I can gather from just this one quote) it seems like he may be more of the actual "leave me alone, I'll leave you alone" type of small government conservative. Makes you wonder how many other people we've misjudged.

He actually supports/supported moderate gun control.

PRESS: Clint Eastwood, we're going to jump into politics, but first I want to come back here for just a second on guns. It's going to be a big issue in this campaign year. Big difference between Bush and Gore on this issue. I just want to ask you about -- there are three things in front of the Congress: background check at gun shows, mandatory trigger locks and licensing handguns. Would you support those three measures?

EASTWOOD: Yes, I've always supported a certain amount of gun control. I don't -- I think California has always had a mandatory waiting period, so we were never concerned about it like the rest of the country. Some states didn't have any at all. So I've always supported that. I think it's very important that guns don't get in the wrong hands, and, yes, I would support most of that. I don't know too much about trigger locks. I've never really discussed that with anyone. But I do feel that guns -- it's very important to keep them out of the hands of felons or anyone who might be crazy with it.

Agreed. I don't know why, but I did assume he'd have a view similar to this. It seems to me the only people who are anti-gay marriage are "in-you-business" types, which is absolutely not what I read Clint as.

I'd like to vote for him as the new Chuck Norris.

The incumbent Chuck Norris, once you start to scratch into what he's really about, is actually kind of an ass.

I cannot imagine Clint Eastwood ever losing to Chuck Norris. He's fucking Clint Eastwood...

wow, was SO not expecting that.

Clint Eastwood is officially 20% cooler. Which I didn't think was possible.

I just fell in love with this man.
