That's not really the same thing. I don't expect that any guy is going to walk around generally wearing a corset, especially a rainbow-colored one that is as revealing as a Dinka corset. A big problem with this argument about unintentional conformance is that there are a lot of rather narrow social rules than mandate conformance and thus limit the range of expression people actually have. So, rather than the problem being that everyone becomes so eclectic that everyone ends up looking roughly the same, it's more of a matter of people choosing various fashions that are considered "appropriate but quirky". That's not the same thing as true anticonformance. There are things that aren't even as popular as bare butt male corsets that people can wear if they want to be different.

Any photographic evidence?

For instance... You don't see any "hipsters" wearing Dinka men's corsets, do you? Don one of those and I guarantee you'll not look like anyone else in North America in terms of dress, at least outside of the home. http://www.randafricanart.com/...

This is not true anticonformancy. If you want to truly look different from most people it's not that difficult.

"I'm liberal. My best friend is conservative. When we listen to each other, really listen: Then you're actually moderates wearing different labels.

Fascinating. Let's end something that doesn't exist in the first place.

"And if I really want to make sure I'm having a private conversation or something, I'll go outside." Apparently, she has never heard of the mockingjay.

The Trail of Tears was loads of fun. So were the camps for American citizens of the wrong racial group.

Two flaws: 1. Marriage is already civil. There is no litmus test for eligibility based in religion. A Buddhist can marry a Muslim at a courthouse and no one cares. 2. The scorched earth policy (destroy an institution rather than extend is to gays) is absurd, albeit popular. It's what my university did to prevent the partners of gay employees from being listed in the directory. The university stopped listing the spouses of hetero employees.

Tolerance is a level of homophobic prejudice, according to the Homophobia Scale by Dr. Dorothy Riddle. http://allies.tamu.edu/resources/riddle.htm

Marriage is the recognition of the pair bond. It is designed to reinforce its strength by making it socially recognized. Polygamy and other forms of relationship are NOT relevant. That isn't saying the debate over whether or not other relationships should have some sort of legal recognition shouldn't be had. But, it's a straw man here, period. There are two pair bonds and two marriages: Same-sex and opposite sex. There is no rational justification for making one legal and the other not. The end.

Put an attack on? Smear? Since when is the truth a smear or an attack? The bottom line is that supporting Prop 8 is an attack on gays.

In other words, "homosexuality is irrelevant". Yes, heard that one before, in innumerable forms.

Society revolves around money. To understand politics, there is one mantra "follow the money". This includes the politics of religious entities like the Vatican.
