I don't believe they are filthy, they are simply mentally ill and they are being mistreated by the public through encouraging the mental illness rather than seeking ways to help them. You can hate me all you like, put me in that special little spot so you can continue to hate me, but the fact remains that it is a mental illness and we should be helping them, not enabling them.
So having a mental illness should be regarded as a sin before God? Or only some mental illnesses?
Homosexuality is a mental illness, like any other mental illness, be it a perversion, or a other oddity of behavior. Homosexuality used to be classified as such, but was changed via political pressure, not by any real means of process or legitimacy.
It is a perversion, it is abnormal, it is not a biologically natural function of process. You may point to animals humping other animals, but then animals hump a lot of things regardless if they are living or not. The sexual perversions of a person who seeks such is not healthy or good, it is why homosexuals have a very high suicide rate as they constantly struggle with their perversion, similar to that of how a drug abuser struggles with the truth of their addiction.
Then do you consider men who love to give oral or anal sex to women to be abnormal and/or mentally ill?
Apparently no one read the article. It also said that Texas is considering passing several riders as amendments added to various bills which would allow health care practitioners and lawyers to deny care to gay people based on their "religious beliefs." TX has already passed HB 3859 which allows adoption agencies to deny applicants on the basis of religious grounds. It's not all about bathrooms, people.
My thoughts, exactly. Unfortunately, it's typical of right-wing, fundamentalist/born-again Christian zealots who are still hyper-focused on sex. They can't see or think about anything else. This is the same group of morons who voted for Trump and his "two Corinthians".
Fortunately, their numbers are dwindling as increasing numbers of Americans are waking up to the possibility that God doesn't exist, or at least that the Bible isn't supposed to be used as a manual on how to live life in the year 2017.
The Bible is not a circle of opinions where you can pick and choose what you like. The Bible is VERY clear on homosexuality, it is a sin and no amount of word smithing or devious attempts of manipulation will change it. Homosexuality IS a sin.
Then please don't indulge in homosexuality, if you think it's a matter of fact that it is a sin. I don't know if you do, but I certainly don't appreciate people who don't practice what they preach.
Christian rights have been threaten since the time of Moses. the LBTG have sued Bakers and Photographic Services, to name a few, ( . (The NM Case) The LBGT has more protections than regular citizens . There is no equal protection here except wanting to force values on Christians.
But Christians have every right to sue for religious discrimination if a homosexual baker shows them the door, because he hates their religion.

I agree. If the Trump era has shown me anything its that fundamentalist Christianity is every bit as corrupt and hypocritical as liberal Christians and secularists have been accusing it of being for years. I wish they would get their own house in order instead of trying to impose morals and values on the rest of us that they can't even keep themselves (*cough* Ralph Shortey *cough*). Didn't Jesus say to take the log out of your own eye before taking the spec out of somebody else's? Very few fundamentalist Christians actually follow the teachings of Christ these days. To them, it's all Old Testament, with the assumption that America is under the same covenant with God that the theocracy of ancient Israel was.
What's incorrect? Can anatomically female/male people still not enter restrooms for the purpose of sexual assault?
What's incorrect? The assertion that not allowing anatomical males to use girls'/women's bathroom/changing/locker/shower room facilities (and vice versa) is discrimination. As the Federal Judge stated, transgender status is not a "suspect class" under equal-protection review, so there is no violation of Constitutional rights.
I could not hold down a job in Texas so I wouldn't worry about it lol
