They're quite inconsequential to me, actually. I find it amusing that we (gay people) hold so much importance for them. It's odd to me that someone I don't know gives me so much importance and head space.

Ummm...yeah...you make about as much sense as, well, the other bigots on here. Now come back with your "witty" retort, and I'll do you the favor of not responding, that way you get the last word that is so important to your itty bitty little ego

Except one thing...

Period.

People are "gay" or they are not, much the same as those with Red Hair or those who are Left Handed.
You are, or you are not .... Red Headed, Left Handed or "Gay".
Who are you to tell others what they are or what they aren't?

Someone promoted the myth that sexuality is equal to race and now they can't do a thing with their washed brains.

Exactly. I was born this way, I can't change. That doesn't mean there aren't people who think they are gay, seek out help, and come to terms with their issues that causes them to think this. Granted, study after study has shown this to be impossible, but whatever floats their boat! As long as they are not hurting anyone.

I hate how people refuse to recognize the difference between religious beliefs and democratic equality.

It's a shame they didn't invite Alan Chambers, president of the now closed down Exodus International- one of the biggest "ex-gay" organisations.


Alan Chambers, president of Exodus apologises to gay and lesbian people:
“I am sorry for the pain and hurt that many of you have experienced. I am sorry some of you spent years working through the shame and guilt when your attractions didn’t change. I am sorry we promoted sexual orientation change efforts and reparative theories about sexual orientation that stigmatized parents.

“I am sorry I didn’t stand up to people publicly ‘on my side’ who called you names like sodomite—or worse. I am sorry that I, knowing some of you so well, failed to share publicly that the gay and lesbian people I know were every bit as capable of being amazing parents as the straight people that I know. I am sorry that when I celebrated a person coming to Christ and surrendering their sexuality to Him, I callously celebrated the end of relationships that broke your heart. I am sorry I have communicated that you and your families are less than me and mine.

“More than anything, I am sorry that so many have interpreted this religious rejection by Christians as God’s rejection. I am profoundly sorry that many have walked away from their faith and that some have chosen to end their lives.

It used to be. It wasn't that long ago when being left-handed was seen as a sign of the Devil by some religious zealots.

Left-handers can be trained to use their right hands for some things, but they still continue to default to their left-dominant hand.

Interestingly, there is a much higher percentage of left-handers amongst gay men than straight men.
