It's not so much the issue of having the opinion. I just merely think they are ignorant. It's when they try to force those beliefs and opinions on other people who disagree that there is a problem. And obviously a legislator is in the position to do just that.

In my opinion, Homosexuality is a danger to any nation. There's plenty of data to support such.
How about providing some? From credible, not the normal hateful religious sites.
We'll wait.

Don't like homosexuality? Too bad, it's natural.

And another "tolerant" liberal heard from.

Yeah, let's celebrate "diversity" as long as everyone thinks alike.

Excuse me but it is the Demos that DO allow for different opinions, watch someone from the right do it and step back before the feeding frenzy begins, freedom of thought in the GOP/Tea Party is apsolutely forbidden.
The only data that supports such nonsense comes from right-wing religious has has no basis in Fact or Realty, but don't let that stop you from believing it anyway.

Think about it.

Which group rapes 1.3 women and girls per minute in the US?
Which group is responsible for most cases of child molestation?
Which group commits the vast majority of assaults and murders?


Hmmmm.....here's a clue. It's not gays and lesbians.

People are also free to believe the earth is only 6000 years old and that dinosaurs roamed with men. Or that Evolution is "just" a theory.

Of course people can disagree about whatever they want.

Doesn't mean their opinions are valid or based in fact.

Where does screwing your slave girl fall on the spectrum?

Seriously, though, Jefferson proposed a revision of the Virginia criminal code replacing the death penalty for (heterosexual or homosexual) sodomy with castration or nose-boring. In other words, he was pretty liberal for that place and time.

Everyone has some things they won't tolerate. Anti-gay crap from sleazeball rednecks is high on my personal list.

One man's opinions is another mans ignorance. I agree that people shouldn't force opinions on people but liberals do that to.
