Now the first vote is decided, no open discussion of homosexuality.

When will the next vote be posted, whether or not to ban the subject entirely in this subforum?

Ya, I've been wondering too. Seems like its becoming a dog eat dog world.

I wonder if defending it is allowed? When promoting is not. I've run across quite a few who defend homosexuality. Wouldn't that qualify as promoting it? Even when they have to interpolate Bible verses in order to do so. Which I find quite unfortunate as they often resort to the OT to do so.

That is supposedly not allowed since the first vote in this section of the forum.
The second vote will determine whether the subject is totally forbidden.

As per Advisory Team instructions, calling into this discussion:

Admins: @Tallguy88 , @FreeinChrist

Supervisors: @JCFantasy23 , @David4223 , @twob4me

RECAP: A second poll on eliminating any discussion of homosexuality and SSM was indicated as a good idea for the MJ forum.

Can someone find that post and quote it here so the Admins and Sups know what we're talking about in this thread?
:wave:

Quote: Tishri
After this first poll, if the vote is no, we will have a second poll.
The second poll with have two options:

Yes- Keep everything as it has already been operating in MJ for 10 years: Discussion without promotion or personal discussion (the old sterile kind of discussion we have seen for the last 10 years)

No- Make the topic of homosexuality and SSM off topic to MJ so no talk of it comes here at all.

OK?

I noticed this paragraph was just now added to our SOP.

I thought the vote for our forum was a no.

Was there a mistake of this being added to our sop?

Homosexuality and Same Sex Marriage:
Homosexuality and same sex marriage may be discussed in this forum, however, no promotion of these topics is allowed. Promotion is defined as encouragement of the progress, growth, or acceptance of something including advertising and publicity.

No mistake. That is all the first poll was about and why we need a second one.
One to ban the subjects from discussion altogether.

I'm not sure why it matters anyway- can someone explain to me why we should ban that discussion topic? Surely we have the ability to put our position forward and not be afraid of it being challenged. (I think I voted to ban it, ironically)

(It of course is a given that refusing to talk about that is actually homophobia by definition! LOL)
