I don't like to be around gay people. I'm homophobic. It shouldn't be in the world

[Leifmk]

Or is it ok to hate nazi's but not gays.

You got it in one! It's always OK to hate Nazis; they're handy that way.

Indeed they do. You will notice the sky has not fallen on either of them yet.

Why would I think that?

How about Homophobes?
Is it ok to hate them too or are the people that say they hate them just as bad as they are.

My move. I Godwin. Mate.

I don´t see his problems. There seem to be lots of homophobic protestant parishes and groups throughout the United states. Maybe more than, for example, in europe.
Sounds to me like he shouldn´t have problems to join one of these groups and be among people who think alike.

Hardaway should move to Russia, where he can enlist police help to beat up gays

I've heard this one disccussed quite a bit, and my question to the people that think this is really horrible would be, how would you feel if you substitute the word NAZI for gay. Does that make it different? Or are you just mad because he's voicing an opinion different then yours. Or is it ok to hate nazi's but not gays.

I am so tired of the old "replace this with that..." It's crap... Besides, you can't compare homosexuality to nazism. Nazism is a choice, homosexuality isn't (in most cases...)

[rah]

He's entitled to his postition but would probably have been best served by keeping his mouth shut. Unless it was nazi's that he hated, of course.

Dammit, you already made that play and I didn't see it.

Well, if he would use his homphobia to move to another country he should better use Iran or any other country under the Sharia.

After all they kill homosexuals there. The best place not to encounter a single man who is openly gay

[Tattila the Hun]

Eh, I don't like to be around people, in general. Gay, straight, black, white, blue, what have you. Does my multiphobia make me a bad person?

Don't particularly like animals, either. Except hampsters.

Kids are nasty, too.

The generic or rhethorical "you", not necessarily you in particular.

My point, as it were, would be that the vocal opposition to same-sex marriage boils down to two main points:

1. It's forbidded by $RELIGION.

2. It will/may have negative consequences.

Point 1 may be true for many values of $RELIGION but should be considered irrelevant to the secular laws of a modern pluralistic state.

Point 2 is increasingly invalidated by observation of how an increasing number of countries have enacted such marriage laws (or various half-measures such as the "registered partnerships" available in Scandinavia), and time keeps passing, and the putative negative consequences remain conspicuous by their absence.

I didnt know there were provinces with same sex union in Brazil and Argentina, I only knew the BUenos Aires city had it

Indeed, I don't see a denial there.



Kind of sad when the Democratic Republic of the Congo is more tolerant than you are, isn't it?

That map is really inexact in the ME..
I'm pretty sure that turkey and Jordan have penalties on being gay.

Iraq would probably too.

Don't know enough about the Arabian peninsula.

[Barnabas]

wtf, one of the guyanas/suriname, one of those, sends you to prison for life if you have gay sex
