Even though you thought you could trick us by qualifying your statement, you failed. The whole point of your comment was making the comparison between perverse behavior and “gay folks”.Nice try.

Again, no, there is no gay lifestyle. There are multiple subcultures that some gay people travel in, just like straight people do, but there is no “gay lifestyle.” Every example you posted as evidence of the “gay lifestyle” came to being because gay people were excluded from mainstream society and had to create their…

I think that's why she threw a bone to those "sweet, nice people" that she loves dearly...she thinks she has already adjusted her approval matrix.

If your opinion is bigoted, then we don’t have to respect it.

Black and gay here and that’s not what he or she did, and why did you not have an issue with the vietnamese example that was brought up before this one?

She’s an adult woman with her functioning brain. There’s no excuse.

They’re both aspects of personal identity that individuals have no control over. Not being straight isn’t a lifestyle choice like vegetarianism, or religious beliefs.

I respect her right to express her opinion, but I will not respect her answer.

I’m glad I read before posting because I was going to post just this. The problem isn’t that she has her own opinions, it’s that she thinks the way someone else lives their life is something that someone can “agree” with. A life isn’t an opinion, a life is a life. At best she can say that it’s not for her or that she…

“When did you choose to be straight?”

I couldn’t edit my other post but I wanted to add the following:

Exactly.

Not trying to troll, butI’m confused by your comment.

I dunno, they’re both inherent characteristics that people can’t change and that garner a lot of hate from the profoundly stupid. They’re certainly not the same, but analogous? In some ways yes.

Being gay is not a “lifestyle” that you “agree” or “not agree” with.

I don’t mind the Christian lifestyle, as long as they don’t try to force it on others. Or to recruit children.

Sorry if it came off that way because it certainly wasn’t my intention. I figured that by making a “you wouldn’t say it about this group so why say it about this group” comparison it would be more relatable idiots but I guess I’ll stop trying to break complex issues down to the level of idiots. Thanks for the advice!

Being gay isn’t a lifestyle. This isn’t a topic on which there can be “opinions,” unless you think all facts are a matter of opinion.

I know that but when arguing with people like this they usually have more interest in hiding their prejudice than removing it and give more allowances for homophobia than racism. The mostly don’t even see homophobia as a prejudice, just a “disagreement”. If you can force them to view it through the same lens, one of…

Typical self righteous bigot with direct dial to God who talks out of both sides of her ass. “I have so many gay friends! I mean, they’re all gonna burn in hell, but boy do they have great fashion sense. Oh, the LGBT lifestyle, with its throw pillows and cocaine parties and it’s Velvet paintings of Tammy Faye Baker.…
