Source, or GTFO. No actual history that I've read says anything about Michaelangelo's sexuality or preferences. And if he had male lovers and female, that doesn't make him gay. That makes him Bi.
And you are the perfect example of douche bag level pseudo-intelligence that is a plague to the world. I don't care what ancient cultures used it before. It was perverted by the Nazi's, and is known as the symbol for hatred and intolerance worldwide today. Symbols, much like vocabulary, take on new meanings as time goes on and the current interpretation is the one that counts. F@g used to be nothing more than a bundle of sticks, or a cigarette. Yet now, it's considered a slur and a hateful expression.
Not sure where 'murica is. But here in America, we don't speak english. We speak American English, which we do better than the Norwegians or English. Hell, you guys misspell humor and color all the time, and call "Z", "zed". Seriously, Zed is a name, not a letter in the alphabet.
@Atlas - many Muslim extremists interpret those verses exactly the way the appear when taken by themselves. I'm not anti-Muslim by any stretch of the imagination, I'm realistic. Currently, there aren't any extremist Jew,or Christian groups committing acts of terrorism because their religion says to kill non-believers. Muhammed was a violent man, living in violent times. Because of this, he interpreted the word of God (or Allah) to be extremely violent. Just as the Christian Bible has extreme violent verses that don't apply today. The difference being, Christians aren't taking their religion and flying planes into buildings to follow the teachings.
"Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority"
"Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward."
"They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks."
Sounds a lot like "kill those that aren't Muslim" to me.
