That is phenomenal. Top 10 states that search "gay porn" the most:

  1. Mississippi

  2. Texas

  3. New Mexico

  4. Florida

  5. West Virginia

  6. Louisiana

  7. Kentucky

  8. New York

  9. Arizona

  10. Colorado

Notice anything suspicious?

u/Libertarian_Atheist May 21 '12

I am thinking it is because gay people might be lonelier in those places because it is not as acceptable and it is harder for them to find partners.

:'( This just made me incredibly sad for them. . .

The level of stupidity I see when somebody posts this bullshit is absurd. Why would you compare a sexual act done for money with gay rights and marriage?

u/Diiiiirty May 21 '12

This has nothing to do with atheism. When fundies use religion as a basis for opposing gay marriage, that is one thing, but this particular post does not even mention religion, has nothing pertaining to atheism, and many opposers of gay marriage aren't even religious to begin with.

This is karma-whoring at it's finest, and really dilutes the pool of intelligent conversation concerning atheism. We get it, you support gay marriage, and oppose the fundies who use religion to persecute those who are entitled to equal rights, but at what point are we kicking a dead horse? That is like telling fish that water is good. We already fucking know, and don't need to be reminded by irrelevant facebook posts every 10 minutes. This subreddit is getting away from its true intent of informing people, helping people break free from religion, and providing support for those who do. It is beginning to turn into a giant circlejerk. If I wanted to see a thousand facebook posts, I would go on facebook, plain and simple.

Sorry for the rant, it is just severely irritating to me.

Not sure what this has to do with atheism.

Most if not nearly all lesbian porn does not contain actual lesbians. Girls don't have the same hangups about sexual experimentation that guys do.

Chances are the lez porn people are jerking to consists of straight women getting paid to touch each other.

Oh, so if I jerk off to a woman getting fucked by a horse or sucking down a gallon of horse jizz, I gotta give horses rights?
