I’ve always assumed this (and assumed that other people assumed this), because if you talk to homophobes they’ll eventually say something like “it’s a choice!” because it’s a choice for them. It’s not a choice for me because gay porn doesn’t turn me on – and if it did I wouldn’t care anyway because that’s how I was raised. But it DOES turns them on, AND they were raised in an environment where this is THE WORST THING EVER, so it upsets them and they get all irrational and punchy (lesson learned: DO NOT discuss this theory with a homophobe.)

TLDR; IMHO Homophobes who think orientation is a choice are closeted gays because logic.

It would be nice to see a better study. Interesting if one hasn’t been done in all this time…

You just said why it’s a stupid, stupid thing to do: Trump would have caved anyway. All Carney had to do is wait.

That he would cave so quickly shows how little he values Canadian interests over American profits.

Where does the money for the investor’s dividends come from?

That happened a decade ago. You can’t find many pet supplies anywhere anymore because one company owns the distributors and the stores – and they don’t give a shit because they’re American and Canada is too small of a market to support, so it’s left to wither and die.

The same with Veterinary services. They’ve all be bought up, made into chains, or signed bullshit distribution or service agreements by a single (American) company and now it costs many multiples what it used to for no reason except greed.

That’s the best part, you monsters.

For those concerned (or hopeful) about vast hordes of topless Minnesota women roaming the streets: They made boobs legal in Ontario in the mid 90’s and I’ve NEVER seen any women go topless in public. I’m sure it happens, but it’s extremely rare. Heck, most guys still swim in t-shirts up here.

The point of the law in Canada was to make a point that if men and women are to be equal, the law should reflect that. Of course in the US it’s about sex and not equality.
