Should "gay behavior" be criminalized? (interstate, Obama, abortions)

Dont count on them coming back and explaining. Cowards.

Its likely that they have a deep seeded hatred of homosexuals, probably based on their religious views.

They simply know that opening up for debate, only stands to belittle their opinion, and position.

Some people, will always hate homosexuals, and they will never tolerate them.

I watched "Shatners raw nerve" last night, they had Larry Flynt on. He said something very interesting. Remember, there will always be people that are willing to shoot you, over your political or moral views.

He is right, and the few people who voted for illegalization of homosexual behavior, well, part of that group would rather shoot a homosexual, then give them civil rights.

Or a fear and loathing of their own homosexual thoughts. I'm not saying that explains most of them, but it's a regularly-occurring phenomenon.

I figure this would put about 90% of white males into prison.

Adultry, divorce and pornography all have negative overtones. There is nothing negative about being gay. And why specify white males concerning divorce, porn and adultry?? Why are men of color exempt?

Do I think that gays should stop always bringing up gay issues all the time and irritating the crap out of the population? Yes

You are more than your sexuality. Act like it.

What an idiotic post! You state your sick of hearing about gay issues, yet choose to sensationalize the issue by making this post. Here is a guy that believes all homosexual behavior should be criminalized, yet you think gays should just ignore it. There are still 37 states which allow discrimination against homosexuals, and you believe they should just ignore it because it irritates you. We have other minorities who enjoy affirmative action, special quotas systems, as well as an abundance of positive characters on TV bombarding the air waves. Meanwhile, this video supports outlawing any homosexuality, never mind giving them a shread of equality.

By the way, sexual orientation is an instinct, not a behavior, and it does vary throughout the animal kingdom.

Pretty sure gay people wouldn't be talking about their sexuality in public so much if they had equal rights. If society didn't let people with brown hair join the military, or get married, or walk down the street holding hands with a loved one without getting threatened...I'd probably bring up my brown hair a lot, too.

Nice, insightful post, HarbourLady, on the "should Gay....be criminalized?" Thread. Really well thought-out!

Nice to know that we have 7 Nazi's here. First it'll be the gays, then we'll start burning books, then the atheists, then the jews, then everyone who doesn't have blonde hair, anything to get rid of the "undesirables"....
