I'm sure the GLBT community probably don't like you too much either but will happily ignore you if they were just afforded the same legal and estate rights as everyone else.
Admittedly there have been businesses in places like West Hollywood that have banned heterosexuals in retaliation for the same-sex marriage ban in California, regardless of whether those heterosexuals supported it. And organizations like GLAAD have sought to shut down or censor television programs featuring hosts or performers who privately hold anti-same-sex marriage beliefs or disapprove of homosexuality. So they don't really ignore folks so much...

Hey, they're people. And people suck.
Well that's no good. Fighting hate with hate doesn't help anyone. Most of the ones I know or encounter just want to live happy lives like anyone else.

How many have died so far during construction and the clean up operations in the favelas?
No, don't you remember the 2010 world cup? Militants killed families because they were watching the world cup during some religious fasting thing and they should have been praying instead.
That plus stories about husbands/wives killing each other over watching the world cup games.
Obviously there are deeper reasons for that, but it's still tragic irony that so many deaths are "caused by the world cup"

Oh, I remember. But Brazil's already been having problems preparing for this competition. They've flooded the favelas with troops and have been engaging the gangs that run them in firefights, resulting in innocents getting shot and killed in the crossfire. And supposedly there have also been a few work accidents from things like crane's falling.

ah yes I know, but it's not even as bad a Qatar where apparently the people working to build the stadiums are being treated like slaves.
About Brazi: how the fuck did a country of 140 million people manage to be more behind schedule than us at preparing for the Olympics?
At a comparable planning stage in 2004 Athens had done 40 per cent of preparations on infrastructure, stadiums and so on. London had done 60 per cent. Brazil has done 10 per cent - and they have just two years left. So the IOC is thinking, ‘What’s our plan B?
And I just noticed that it's been 20 years since the last time the US hosted the Olympics and it will be AT LEAST 30 years before you get the chance to do so again....that's weird.
