No offense, but people actually are repulsed by sex between men. In the vast majority of cases that isn't some false claim made by guys who want to cover up their own homosexuality.

Try as I might I just can't bring myself to care that much about gay people. They neither please nor offend me.

How nice to know it's okay, now.
Why, exactly would the "me too" movement complain about a pic of two married people kissing? You do understand what the "me too" movement is about, yes?

Many people don't want to see any sexualized affection in public by even hetero couples, but yes many view Gay, Public, Sexualized Affection as repulsive, and unnatural.

Your ignorance breeds hate and hate makes good people do bad things. This country will never be 1950's again. It evolves and changes just like everything else in life. The face of our country is changing and nothing will stop it. Maybe it's better to accept and respect differences and find the good instead of demonizing young people for having a different world view point. I remember my parents reactions to Elvis and the Beatles and how it would be the downfall of our country. It's laughable now, just as your hate will fade away and be replaced by enlightened, educated opinions.

These millennial's will be taking care of us and our country in the next 15 to 20 years. One size does not fit all and I bet that we will have a kinder gentler nation when they take over and this misguided generation ceases to be.

America is different than it was 40 years ago, and it will be different in another 40 years after that. I just hope I live long enough to see all people who were born different stop being treated like second class citizens and are free to live the way they were born to be. Hate is a cancer of the soul.



From someone born different, thank you. We share the same hope.

Homophobe not that again..... Y’all made that word up to make those who disagree with homosexual life choices loom to be simply ignorant and afraid of it. My opposition to homosexuality has to do with my values, religious beliefs and personal choice, it has nothing to do with fear or ignorance. Don’t bother trying to convince me otherwise as it would be just as much of a waste of time as me trying to talk you into believing like me. I have no problem sharing my views just as all the leftists in here do. The difference is the fact that some of your side would like to censor my views or even persecute me for them.

If you fear people like me then that is your problem. I have never threatened anyone nor have I persecuted anyone. Just because I disagree with your lifestyle does not mean I am a threat to you. Also not making others witness your PDA is just polite behavior, that goes for everyone regardless of your persuasion.
In a previous post you said:”All we can do is speak against what is going on and wait for the time when we need to be ready to take strong action to restore this good nation to what it once was.”

That’s pretty threatening.

If your side attempts to enshrine your agenda into law and attempts to take our rights i do believe millions will fight. There are a lot of us who hate and abhor what your side wants to do and your side may be shocked one day when we finally all stand up to oppose it. I will never stop resisting the left wing agenda, both the social and economic agenda. One day if your side wins then maybe you will lock me up but even then I will resist and I will continue too until I am gone.
And again, very threatening.

You clearly don’t believe that everyone has the same rights as you.

And you’ve created an enemy where one doesn’t exist to justify your hate.

Sad.

You can be "Born Different", and still be respectful to others people's beliefs, and not rub it in their face.

It is true many men find sex between 2 men repulsive, while at the same time many men are turned on when it comes to sex between 2 women. Kind of a double standard you have to admit.

Doesn’t offend me. But, I couldn’t care less if some are repulsed by sex between men. That’s their problem. It’s hardly a legitimate argument for gay men to refrain from expressing affection in public. Now there is a limit. Just as heterosexuals should demonstrate restraint in public displays of affection in public, the same goes for same sex couples. But a kiss, a hug is considered appropriate by most for heterosexual couples. Gay couples should not feel the need to hide that.
