Much as I don't like discrimination and feel that people who discriminate like that are wrong to do so, I'd honestly rather know what people's true feelings were so I could NOT give them my business (similar to how I feel about hate speech laws really, I'd rather know who the racist d*cks are than force them to keep their views a secret so no-one knows that they're racist d*cks) - I don't really know why a gay couple would want to give homophobes their business after finding out that fact. It seems like giving your business to a company that isn't homophobic and welcomes the business of gay people would be a better choice than trying to force money and business on people who don't like you. Why would they even deserve it?
I actually never remember the name of The Weald and Downland musuem, I just called it the old building musuem when describing it to people even though I have been there a few times many years ago. I was actually thinking the other week how nice it would be to see how it's doing. Apologies for not being able to offer my Photoshop "skills".
I went to it once when I was at junior school and live about a 10 minute walk away from it.
I haven't been for a while either. I must have gone as a child, we used to go to all sorts of historic places. Then I went with Uni (about 20 years ago) and then again about 10 or so years ago, I also went to Fishbourne Villa iirc the same day. So probably due a revisit!
No, you explained it very well.
That's a typically smart and pragmatic view, ayase. I likewise couldn't understand why you'd want to force the sale, tbh. Though I suppose that the furore it created at least raised awareness in the media.
It's about 6 minutes drive from my mums house according to Google. So there's an idea for something to do next time I visit (after Easter though).

For me, it's probably best if I don't get myself started on the topic of religion. I just wish people would focus on the here and now, rather than what's (not) going to happen to us after we go. Surely then the world would function better.
What else can I "say" but...Indeed, religion is a complex subject, it's likely why NGE makes little to no sense
Depends on who you ask.
(It's Lilith.)
Wait till you see 3.33, though...
I've nothing against people holding personal beliefs that help them in their own lives and they don't expect others to adhere to. But I've everything against belief being used as a control system over others, whether by a religious leader to control their followers or religious parent to control their children. And what you've described there is the classic punishment/reward control system of most organised religion:
But of course!
