Let's put it this way: when's the last time someone in Ireland (or the US) was arrested for saying "I think homosexuality is wrong/an abomination "?

Has it ever happened?

It's been a protected characteristic for quite a while now.

Most intelligent people would just say "f**k off bigot" or something to that effect.
That assumes good faith ongoing.
Trans people may be more litigious. They use bad faith more often. Why should the people be exposed to this ?

They may be more litigious??
if I told you 2/3 years ago that you could lose your job for calling a biological man a man and not playing the pronoun game would you have believed me ? Doesn't take long to escalate

No, what you describe ("not playing the pronoun game with a biological man") sounds like bringing your personal political opinions into work and intentionally treating a colleague with contempt and hostility to make some kind of point instead of behaving professionally and respectfully.

Are there really 700k people ready to rush the border this week ?

Trump to pay $5m damages
The jury has awarded E Jean Carroll a total of $5m (£4m) in damages for battery and defamation by Donald Trump.
This is the first time a US president has been found liable of sexual assault. He wasn't found guilty of rape.

Lets see the follow up to this, apart from anything else it would cause other women to come out.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Twice impeached, election-denying, despot-wannabe, racist sex offender.

He's racking them up.

Anywhere else, outside a 3rd world country or Russia, Trump would be damaged goods, in America with all their morality in the mid west, they certain do irony as they vote for him.

Not really-they just hate the Democrats and all they stand for with a passion

Let's say, back in the day, Gerry Adam's sexually assaulted someone would Nationalists in the North have voted for Ian Paisley ? (Assuming he was still alive)

There would not have been an option to reject Adams and go with someone else?

Hmm,  absurd brainless strawman argument whataboutery.

It was revealed during the proceedings that Trump implicated  himself,  one of his defenses was that 'she was not his type',  however when presented with a photo of her at his disposition, he remarked that this was a  photo of his first wife.

I'm deadly serious

With Michele O Neil having gone to the coronation, would disgruntled Republicans now vote for a Unionist candidate?

J70

That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

No one is saying Republicans have to vote for either Trump or a Dem. They have plenty of non-sex offender options even among the MAGA shower and 18 months to choose one.

Jell 0 Biafra

what was that line he had about shooting someone on 5th Ave, and Republicans would still vote for him?  This thread is proving him right.

Trump trump Trump meanwhile 700k illegal immigrants ready to storm the border ,

Jell 0 Biafra

Storming the border; youre' hilarious.
