I disagree!
When CDN laws are not in sync with RD laws there is a potential problem.
A married same sex couple living in RD originating from Canada ; and one dies or is divorced ; which Law takes precedent ?
Especially if they own property in RD? (Probably RD!)
And, if the property was only listed in the Deceased Name.

Not trying to become argumentative just making a point.

I did not see that comment as being Ca1 material... just as an example of one law verses the other and relative impact.
Surely we can make a comparative analysis on this forum!

The example you vote is actually pretty easy; unless the survivors are Dominicanos, I don't think they can inherit, regardless of gender. The workaround is to have the property in both names, or xfer the property before death.

But yes, without consistent laws in place, what you describe is exactly the limbo that has been created by being inconsistent with how people are legally treated.

Hmm, so I understand your reasoning behind not setting up a separate forum, but doesn't it seem reasonable that we also nuke the "N is for No" and "S is for Sanky" forum?

What???

Are you talking about the "Men from mars and women from venus" forum, the one with almost 1800 threads and 75,000 posts?

 

[Robert]

This thread is exactly why people don’t post about queer stuff on dr1 and why I hardly ever post on here any longer. 

It's great to have options! :bunny:

So, I’m curious what a Lady does with N for No and S for Sanky. Does she play coy saying the N word while teasing her Sanky into a critical overload and hopefully triggering an uncontrolled response where she can get what she needs but still claim to be a lady. Or maybe, the Sanky, understandably confused, decides that the Gringa is loca and decides to leave. Using L for Lesbian, she ponders calling her amiga for some action that only a woman can provide without a roadmap. But, decides on T and pulls out a black phallus of rhino proportions. The Sanky, still looking for his 5 mil pesos, is secretly a B or maybe just a plan G which explains the 2 blue diamonds he took before arriving and his intrusive thoughts of G sex needed to maintain his flag pole salute. She has his attention now and he submits. He takes the bridle in his mouth while she “esta manajando muy bien” and rides her mount into a lather with his heart pounding in chest ready to explode. Come on sissy boy, time for a nice cantor that has that perfect rhythm. She remembers her pubescent days grooming and riding horses bare back with the horses spine rubbing at just the right angle right before she fell off her horse panting and exhausted.

I think that in the same way that the women's forum is moderated so that only women can post, if we were privileged enough to be given an LGBT forum, the rule should be that it should be moderated so that posts are about subjects which are of interest to - and supportive of - the LGBT community, including their friends and supporters. And specifically, those posts from cavemen who follow the "live and let live, but just don't do it in front of me as I find it disgusting" should be deleted. As should be posts from people who come into an LGBT forum and then feel the need to tell us they don't belong there and don't understand it. There really is a need for LGBT people, and their friends and supporters, to be able to post without the whole thread being hijacked by straight people who want a discussion on why we can't just be like everyone else.

Robert I know you are against an LGBT forum, but would you consider getting some different moderation rules in place for LGBT posts? Like Harleysrock, I have a lot of knowledge and help I could share, but I can't be bothered when every time I post something LGBT I'm expected to explain why I was born how I was born to people who can't and won't understand.

DR is almost certainly the most gay-friendly country in the Caribbean (maybe with the exception of Curacao) and there are a lot of LGBT people living here, and even more visiting here, for who this could be a valuable resource, but only if moderated correctly.

in my experience: no one cares if you are gay or lesbian or transgender or whatever that is popping up these days, as long as you don't put on a freak show, we can care less what you do or shove behind closed doors and windows.
I have a problem with ON_YOU_FACE type gays who are proud to act like a circus clown just to demand attention. I was unfortunate enough to get stuck in NYC traffic in the 80's and had to endure a gay parade pass by due to avenue being closed for them. I was there 20 minutes stuck in intersection waiting for the parade to pass by. what I saw, I wish this on no one.
one freak after another doing strange dance and acts. I saw almost totally naked men performing sexual acts on floats. men dressed like drag queens. I mean, WTF you people find so exciting in all this? police were there helpless, couldn't do a thing as children in cars had to endure the same insane sex acts as everyone else.
I give up understanding you people. you can have your pride day and all your rights, I just don't want you people to throw your sexual identity at my face. '
god help you all.

The above is exactly the sort of post that should be moderated out if we are going to get a discussion going which is helpful to our LGBT community and their friends. I respect AZB and s/he is entitled to their opinion, "live and let live" I say, but this type of post is completely indicative of why we need some different moderation rules at least.

Silence those that have differing beliefs and opinions. Those liberals belong in the Country of California.


LBGT siding with the current extreme leftists are doing themselves a disservice.

I am in uncharted waters here so please bear with me. I can understand why you see that post as rude and crude. On the other hand your logic on why the LBGT community should get it's own thread does not really hold water. Can I ask a simple question? What percent of the DR1 population does the LBGT community make up? I think it is probably a very very tiny % vs the total? So, I am not quite sure why you seem to feel that there is enough interest to start a separate thread. The risk you run on any subject on this web-site or on-line in general, as you know, is that there are a wide range of opinions and many with thoughts that don't match your own. When you express your thoughts and feelings on any subject on DR1 you expose yourself to those that don't agree, don't care about your thoughts or just are looking for a reaction from you. I think Robert's logic is correct that if enough interest is generated on DR1 to warrant a separate thread than maybe it is needed. Right or wrong this is real world internet feedback and as much as you might want to you can't "moderate out" or edit the thoughts and feelings of others. Bottom line is right or wrong everyone is entitled to express their opinion. It may not be socially or politically correct but that is a direct reflection on society in general. There are many that are gay bashers or those that defend gay rights. The LBGT community has the right to exist and be public but that does not mean they will find tolerance from everyone they encounter. I am sure you have the individual right, to post your thoughts and feelings re: LBGT community but don't expect that you will receive open arms in support of that right. As I am sure you are well aware, in our social media driven world, it is not easily given.

Free speech, as is journalism, is fundamentally dead in America, it must be revived for the Republic to live on.

Here in the DR, it is better, believe it or not.

I was going to ask the same question but when it comes to anything that can be perceived as questioning the LGBT community in a negative way can bring a strong reaction from all sides on-line. I was simply trying to determine why the original poster felt compelled to ask Robert for a separate thread for the LGBT community when there seemed to be little interest on this web-site. As the Rolling Stones said so well, "you can't always get what you want, but you can get what you need. I'm getting dizzy going round in circles. Enough said.

You're kidding me. you really think AZB's post should be moderated? come on.

Maybe this is why lgbt people don't need a special sub forum. So far most of the posts are about the lgbt sub forum and not about anything substantive.

I think the policy should be consistent. It's not right to have one standard for women and a different one for LGBT.

WFIW, I think none of these forums should exit. As a first principle, it's wrong to identify distinct groups of people and label them with a forum name. You've partially implemented that by refusing racial forums and threads.

Although, I personally want a "vanilla gringo" and "refugees from liberal bias" forums.
