Yes I can and I do...

You are not better than gay people because you are (presumably) heterosexual, just as right handed people are not better or entitled to more rights than left handed people, and Jews are not better or entitled to more or less rights than Christians.
Like I have said many times before in this forum, gays are third class people (and I couldn't care less what the Christian ideal is, I'm not one)....

Well, I'm a Messianic Jew, so I'm talking to my own "group" so to speak. I really have no intention getting through to your typical conservative Christian, as it's a futile effort. Cognitive dissonance is a very hard thing to break. And I don't see how pointing out that very few display the qualities that Jesus taught is an insult.

Ahhh, the typical gay response....

Be original will ya?

At least 3 other gays have said the exact same thing in this thread...

Is that response meant to evoke some kind of response that gays get turned on to?

What is this, the next gay saying because the old one "you must really come out of the closet" has gotten worn-out?

Like a gay in the military evokes special feelings over a gay in San Francisco.....

Who says it doesn't help the species? Certain birds have "suicide genes" that survive. The birds sacrifice themselves for the rest of the group. It's quite anti-darwinistic when it comes to survival of the individual, yet the gene survives. Homosexuality may reduce overpopulating, help families raise and provide for children, and provide other benefits to humanity.

You're probably right because this is true of many homophobes who are fighting their own homosexual tendencies. Like Phelps, Marcus Bachmann, and.....you?

Please expound on your opinion. Somehow, I've missed this bit of wisdom from you in the past.
