i wouldn't doubt that for one minute. a lot of what i post may be considered blunt, rude, controversial, etc etc. however, ive never crossed the line and posted something religious because i know with a 100% certainty that the PC crowd would get riled up and butt-hurt over it.

furthermore, the very, very small homosexual community we have here in SA knows that this will annoy and offend the majority of SA (who post and read here) who are also religious.

threads like this do nothing to further their cause and only hinder it, especially when they disregard international piracy laws and use music that they did not purchase a license for.

why should we allow the promotion of such activities on here?

Read what you like; ignore what you do not.
i wish the MSM would pick up on this and just ignore all the 'homosexual pride' garbage they air...

Not sure I understand the reasoning. In other words, opinions expressed here should only come from opinions in the majority? Very few Jewish people live here, are their opinions not welcomed here as well?

Read the TOS rules and regs, if the thread violates any of the rules, you have a legitimate beef.

everyone is entitled to their opinion(s). i used the term 'small community' because its just that. small. insignificant. that does not mean they cant be vocal in their support for homosexual pride, just do it elsewhere and dont steal music across international borders.

/homosexuality and religion are 2 hot topics here and are the ones that are sure to start an uncivil discussions about each topic. thats not something you want, so just keep both off the board.

The words in bold are correct. And if those opinions don't violate any TOS rules here, they are welcomed.

I guess it's not surprising how fast this thread went supernova homophobic. To be honest I'm not the biggest fan due to my own beliefs, but I also believe it's not my place to judge.

I support the right of any group to meet in public and take video and make it available publicly, and even post in a public forum about the event. If any religious group did the same for any of their events I'd be all behind that too.
I'm not in favor of censorship of any group just based on other people being offended by what they are or what they have to say. As long as it's all legal, that's just rough (and I'm sure Youtube will get on their case in short order if they used music illegally).

I realized I'm supporting freedom in a tiny way on the 4th. That's kind of cool.

I'm sorry, but it's people like DexterCat that hinder our country moving forward, I can just tell by how he or she speaks. And I also can tell he or she is an avid Fox News watcher.

Accepting certain religious beliefs and accepting homosexuality are TWO totally different things in my opinion. Accepting homosexuality is a civil rights issue. Homosexuals are humans. Homosexuals go to school and work everyday, pay taxes, contribute to society, and even serve our country in the military.

Accepting certain religious beliefs is just that. Whatever you believe in, you believe in.

And if you are SO religious, shouldn't you accept and love EVERYONE just the way they are????
