After thinking about it for a while, I have to agree with you...to an extent we are animals with the ability to reason. For some it's a choice, others not. I think we are all equal regardless of sexual preference, but don't agree with your percieved rights to display of homosexuality in specific environments that we share (Catholic church or school, for example). That said, I do understand your frustation a little better, however I think some of this isn't based on bigotry as much as long established moral values. Maybe there isn't a difference...I don't know. One thing I know for certain: I'd rather see people (all people) loving each other rather than hating one another.
Though I disagree with some of what you wrote in this post, I appreciate other things that you said and how you said them. I can't believe I'm going to rep amerifree!!
The perversion of nature argument doesn't really apply. Do we deny civil rights and access to people who are born infertile or with diseases like Cystic Fibrosis? Even if you believe homosexuality is a mutation or is something abnormal, what does that have to do with denying people the right to attend prom and wear a tuxedo. Again, this argument has nothing to do with accepting homosexuality. Allowing a homosexual to attend prom is not endorsing homosexualiy; it's respecting an individual's civil rights. I think a person lacks conviction in his or her own beliefs if that person believes that allowing a homosexual to attend a dance is a form of endorsement of their lifestyle. People who are secure about their anti-homosexual beliefs are not threatened by a homosexual attending a dance.
This is another tempest in a teapot inspired by "conservatives" who might better concern themselves with so called "free market capitalists" who just soaked the US taxpayer for a bundle...then went on to make record profits.
I could care less who blows who, or who licks who. As long as I don't have to pay for it. Homosexuals pay their share of taxes...unlike certain funny money artists.
You want an example of an "immoral act, committed man with man"? Look at Wall Street!
If I was such a fan of a totalitarian state wouldn't I be calling for someone or something to put an end to that behavior (like canceling prom)? Did I do any such thing?
It absolutely has the right to spout off its ignorant perversions, and I have the right to ignore them. A right I am exercising.
Nice try and thanks for playing, run along now
You've been very clear about your opinions. Calling those opinions bigoted would be a mild description. You're not ignoring the situation. It's got you so enraged you're spewing vile on an Internet bulletin board where other are having a good laugh at your expense.
Exactly what I said wjtwet. If they want to hold a prom no one is stopping them from doing it off of school grounds. I bet though that quite a few parents would not allow their child to attend such a disgusting unnatural thing. Morality is a lost thing in this country.
What morality do you exemplify here in this post and elsewhere? You are judgmental and your views are profoundly ignorant. Where did gay people try to jam their disgusting unnatural act down everyone's throat? Care to enlighten us because I don't see any agenda, I just see two people who wanted to be together at a school dance. And that causes you to claim the sky is falling? Seems mole hills have grown recently...

You are now finally starting to understand what I and others have been saying all along. Evangelicals are a Christian Taliban. Just like moderate Muslims are nothing like the Taliban. Moderate Christians are nothing like Evangelicals. The Taliban thinks their way is the most true. Likewise, Evangelicals think their brand of Christianity is the most authentic and true. Like the Taliban, Evangelicals can't be reasoned with and their opinions are not based on logic or sound reasoning. They are set in their beliefs regardless of what anyone says or thinks.

You need to check your ability to do amateur psychology by ESP. I'm far from enraged.

So perhaps this whole Liberals are this way, Conservatives are that way thing isn't even true.
FIrst of all we arent a bunch of Bible thumpers in the South. There are also liberal bullies like the ACLU. I dont like any groups trying to imopose things that go against most of the parents wishes including same sex dates, Creation, prayer in schools etc. Bullying never works on either side. Disagreement isnt fear or hate speech. As fas as animals go, they are called animals for areason. They cant control themselves. Gay/ lesbians are a sexual minority not racial minority big difference. Schools should get back to the ABC and 123's. A few religous whack jobs wont change my core values.
