Frankly I am just tired of trying to normalize deviancy.

And I'm tired of bigots crying 'deviancy' whenever others don't "know
their
place" as assigned by their race or (in this case) gender.

Some of [us] so-called bigots have [no] quarrel with 'deviancy' or
whatever but are
merely dismayed about a trampling of process and judicial codes.

Assuming I've correctly reconstructed your typo-mangled sentence above,
please note that my remark was clearly directed at Ron, not you. As much as
I disagree with many of your views, you have not resorted to bigoted slurs
or other personal insults in our conversation; you present contentful
arguments instead of ad hominem attacks.

Furthermore, I understand that there is a legitimate procedural concern
regarding the vote to adjourn. But I believe there is also a legitimate
principle that basic civil rights should be respected even in defiance of a
majority; and therefore a repeal of a basic right for a particular minority
group is not properly subject to a referendum. These two legitimate
principles conflict here. For me, the latter principle prevails, but I
understand how a reasonable person might disagree.
