Wait, weren't you the one that started taking us on odd red herrings in order to avoid dealing with the main point? I sure didn't.

some people want to be against something just to make it hard for someone else to live their lives then they have the nerve to use their kids as a poor excuse to be a homophobic. its sad but its getting old & played out.

some people just need live their own lives & stop trying to control everyone else.

I agree. They make up specious arguments so they can claim to be "taking a stand" on something that really doesn't matter at all. My hunch is that they do it because their egos need a boost.

Also note that I do not directly compare such, I merely state that some people find that offensive just as you might find the above I listed offensive.

A direct comparison would be to establish a trend between each. I do not, I merely picked an action YOU MIGHT find offensive and used it to bring perspective to the situation.

Some people find homosexuality offensive. Some find bestiality offensive or the others I listed. Just because you may think homosexuality is acceptable, does not mean others do as well.

It is not ridiculous for someone to object to such a display in a "homosexual" manner.

Note that even you stated it was "two GAY men" doing such which implies additional factors to which differs from "two men hugging" by its reference.

Even so, the fact remains that homosexuality by its given occurrence is abnormal and so it would not be "ridiculous" to expect that some might find reservation in its occurring form.

Ah, so it's only wrong for gay men to hug.

Or is it that you hear "two gay men hug" and you automatically assume something else was going on as well?
