What about adulterers? Would you support legislation forbidding adulterers from marrying the person they're cheating on their spouse with? They're sinners.

We haven't even gotten to the 7 deadly sins. Should it be illegal for gluttons to be fat? What about lazy people? Should we put them in jail if they don't work? What in the world are we going to do about the prideful?

You're surrounded by sinners of every stripe, so why the fixation on sodomy?

Well
Well ya ever hear the saying "THE GUILTY SPEAK THE LOUDEST" -- I think it applies here......

THEY WILL BE AS LOUD AND ANTI ABOUT IT TO TRY AND MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THEY HATE IT...
Philosophically speaking, gay hatin' is like farts.

"First smeller's the feller."
"Guilty dog barks loudest."
"He who refuted it tooted it."

If you keep obsessing on the evils of teh gayness then you are probably wafting the gayness yourself.

If our society was more accepting, this would not happen to spouses and children. Most times, gay people enters heterosexual relationships because of pressure to be 'normal' and to succeed. Case in point was the NJ Gov. McGreevey who suppress his true feelings, got married and had kids so he could advance up the ladder. But he always had a gay relationship on the side. It came to light and he apologized to his family and moved on to who he truly is.

Former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey, who resigned from office in 2004 amid gay sex scandal, says his life is 'wonderful, honest, authentic' now.

No, that's not what it's like at all. People who hate broccoli (or "disagree" with it to use your "let's pretend this isn't discrimination" word) go days, weeks, maybe even years, without thinking about broccoli. It only comes up if someone offers them broccoli (in which case they may mention their dislike when they refuse it) or if someone asks them directly what kind of foods they dislike.

They do not think about details of ingesting broccoli ... make fun of people who do like broccoli ... obsess about broccoli ... talk about broccoli constantly ... worry about how many people eat broccoli ... claim that broccoli endangers children ... stop talking to people who eat broccoli ... refuse to hire people who eat broccoli ... say that eating broccoli is a SIN ... and ABOVE ALL ... they do not try to make laws against broccoli or the people who eat it.

They don't even post on boards where people are talking about broccoli.

Daily Mail is not necessarily an accurate source of info.
I don't know anything about Grindr, but I do know there are other websites that post pictures without the individuals permission. Is it possible that someone else could create a fake profile for him?

Nailed it.

As far as I know nobody is afraid of broccoli because broccoli has never chased down anyone who disliked it and jumped into their mouth. ergo nothing to fear. That degree of broccolophobia would be treated by the psychiatric community as a clinical mental illness.

I'd disagree with you, but only in this way, which is mostly semantics.. Who you have sex with is a choice.. Who you are attracted to is not.

Neither one is any of my, or anyone elses, damn business.
