I say again, I am not gay or bi, I don't specifically believe in gay rights, I believe in equality of human beings and that does NOT exclude gays. It is just so hard to get people to understand that if it were for instance blacks in question or asians or midgets or mentally handicaps or STRAIGHTS or Jews that were being denied equal rights and equal benefits, then the whole scale of what is right and wrong in the picture would drastically change.If you dont believe gays are justified in wanting equality then your just as prejudice as the guy/girl who believes blacks shouldnt because that is a belief that equality does not have to extend to everyone and that is something I find incredibly hypocritical. Simply because if the shoe were on the other foot, you would be very upset....
Being gay is NOT the same as being black, Jewish or a woman. The later cannot change their position but gays can, they simply can just CHOOSE not to be.
There is nothing "natural" about a man being with another man and a woman being with another woman. When you really look at it from outside the situation it really looks insane.
I believe it is just a struggle of the flesh that needs to be overcome like anything else.
There have been thousands of documented studies and cases where gay people from birth have successfully gone and stayed straight.
They constantly pressure legislatures to change our constitution and the divine laws of this world that have prevailed for thousands of years
They demand the same rights as people who have no control over their natural born ethnicity or gender.
Making matters worse, homosexuals have an extremely powerful secret society with their own symbols, language and agenda and have permeated all facets of government and big business to force their agenda on us from the top down and then penalize those who are against it. They call straight people advocates of hate when it is obvious now that gays hate straight people and would love nothing more than to turn the entire world into a gay paradise where they can do as they will. They are constantly trying to convert people to being gay. They are so powerful and widespread that they don't even need laws in their favor. They have always taken care of their own and that's why gays are typically very successful and even wealthy. Nevertheless, they will not stop until the world bows down to their lifestyle by using brilliant lawyers to pervert and exploit civil rights and constitutional loopholes to succeed.

Bottom line is this. Not everyone has to be accepting of GAYS...not people, not groups, not private businesses. When are GAY people going to understand that their lifestyle WILL NOT be accepted fully...EVER! Agree with it or not, why is it the gay community thinks they should be allowed to FORCE everyone to accept it...and if someone doesn't except it, they somehow have recourse? I don't get it.
I found this post to be offensive. You don't seem to recognize that these Bible heads are always trying to force religion on gays and become violent when not heard. So do NOT exclude them. That statement you made is so irellivent, because fact is when people aren't allowed to express their true nature, they will start to let people know exactly how they feel. Is self expression too much for you?

To compare being homosexual with being Black is an insult to Black people.
I'm not sure whether or not everybody choose to be gay, but the ones who do seem to be rather disgusting. Maybe you should try to view the situation from someone else's perspective.
It's 2009. Gay people are already treated with dignity and respect. Don't be such a damn victim. Boycotting companies because you think that they are anti-gay or whatever is ostracizing potential supporters. Is homosexuality a matter of philosophy to someone who's gay, or is it simply playing the hand that he's been dealt?
For that matter, how many of us are "patriotic" simply because we happen to be born in a certain place, rather than because of any appreciable qualities?

People's "true nature" is not to be civilized.
How about we all just go around raping virgins!

Is it sarcasm I am reading or Ignorance? So you are saying we are not civilized? Look at our evolutionary history and how far we have made it. We are different now than we were back in pre-historic times. I think it is safe to say we have come a long way as civilized people (especially with all these Chemicals and phenoms our government gives us). Ignorant to say we are not civilized by nature. If this is true than why do we want equality for all? So that we can run wild and bash everyone in the face? Exactly... If humans are uncivilized by nature I wonder what you call an organized Pride of Lions? . Pure ignorance on your part.
