Stop the hate. His views have been shared by much of humanity for 2000 years. Do not try to equate them to Nazis and the KKK. Please stop your bigotry.

In large part this isn't true. Most colleges are in some way government subsidized which allows the government to control what they do.

The old deal with the devil thing.

Yes indeed it does sound very much like defending and supporting intentional discrimination as perfectly okay only when and if perpetrated by the so-called “protected class” but verboten! any other time or place.

Too bad that they are probably too ignorant and bigoted to listen to their own sermon.

Unlike the ones you hold near and dear that are automatically correct because they are yours.

So, I agree that it is a bit overkill to equate the Nazis hatred of Jews to American Fundamentalist Christianity's attitudes toward homosexuality.

That being said, you picked the worst possible way to argue against this, and actually partially made his point for him. It is true much of humanity has disapproved of homosexuality for the last two millenia. However anti-semitism has been held dear for about the same length of time, and by roughly the same ideological group! If in the last hundred years or so, Christianity has determined that anti-semitism is not God ordained, as was thought for much of the rest of the time since Christ, maybe it is time Christianity get over its issues with homosexuals as well.

Humanity also treated women like property and blacks like slaves for much of history. That doesn't make it correct or worthy of respect.

No, they are correct because all evidence in existence points to them being correct, as does logic and rationality.

Your beliefs are based 100% on a butchered corrupted religious text and your own personal hatred of something you can't understand.
