Honestly....it just gets old. Christians don't hate gay people, we don't try to attack and kill them. I'm sorry that some nut jobs have done violence in the name of religion...but Christianity teaches nothing like that.
Thank you for making my point for me.
Those muslim haters would do well to read this post.

And yes, violence against gays does happen at Pride marches here. In Albany NY, where I live, a man was robbed and beaten into a coma after this year's march. Obviously, money could have been a motive, but last I read, the man was singled out for both the robbery and beating because he was a gay man walking alone after the parade.
And thats fk'ed up. It ain't a hate crime, it's just a crime. And a shame. Violence is violence no matter who it's directed at. As a prior victim I know what it's like. It won't happen again and it sure as s**t won't happen to someone I witness.

What is it with Serbs, anyway? I have no problem with them wanting to get married, adopt children, even have their own clubs and parades. But when they start World War I, engage in ethnic cleansing, and otherwise want to shove their bloodthristy beliefs down our throats, it's hard to be tolerant of them.

Interesting how conservatives and Republicans on this forum are responding so defensively to this news story.

I was being a bit facetious. But the truth is it did kind of bother me that people always include people who are very religious and lump them in as the political "far right". In this case it looks like issue here is not political, its just a bunch of people who hate gays. Where is the political angle here? Do any of you actually know the politics of that country, and why certain groups gravitate to different political parties?

You should learn history...and then say something,the first country that had ethnic cleaninsing was Croatia in ww2 and considering ww1 Austria wanted to attack Serbia but didn't have a legitimate reason,so when Gavrilo Princip killed prince Ferdinand they used that as a justification and attacked Serbia,go to wikipedia and search about this...

I have been in a Tea Party for some time and you do not know what the h*ll you are talking about. Obviously homosexuals and people aligning themselves with them are mentally ill and delusional.

This thread fails.
