How exactly do you oppose homosexuality in your personal life? I assume you don't do anything that would be considered homosexual, so why do you feel the need to project your opposition onto others? I personally have no issue with you being a Christian and think people should be able to practice any silly religion they want in this country, but I don't think those people practicing religion has the right to force their religious beliefs onto others.

It seems an accurate definition to me.

You're acting as if the two - Christian and Gay (or gay supportive) - are mutually exclusive. Many - if not a majority - of gay people in this country are Christian. And 10's of millions of US Christians accept and embrace homosexuality and homosexuals.

I don't oppose the people themselves but I think the act of homosexuality is not normal.

Oh, I dunno. Maybe it's the whole "immoral people with a fllthy lifestyle who don't deserve the same rights that I have" thing.

You think?

I don't know, I don't watch those channels, but I do know right wingers like to brag about how much they watch Fox News and how high the viewership for the channel is, so yes, Fox News would turn a Christian into getting fired for being a Christian as the biggest thing of the year.

So? Do you think they shouldn't do anything you don't consider "normal?" There is a lot of kinky things straight people do that wouldn't be considered "normal" but I wouldn't want to prevent them from doing it just because I thought it wasn't "normal."
