You may want to do a quick check of the threads before claiming this. Basically every single thread that I've read about gay anything recently was started by an anti-gay bigot. And every time I openly call them gay because of it, I don't get a response.

Just like that dcsldcd person who finds every single post even remotely related to anything gay and has to comment on it, with every comment saying how sinful and horrible and wrong homosexuality is. I think this could only be because dcsldcd is gay. And a horribly repressed individual who has actually become pretty evil as a result.

What if you found out your best friend or that one of your Family members were a homosexual? What would you do , you would know that they don't have mental illness. What would happen if you saw a gay couple walking in your town? Would you spout your hate message or even attack them? Most Gay ppl these days would attack you back.

This article appeared in todays Irish Independent under the same headline. Can anyone give any more details as the article doesn't go into too much depth.

People never cease to amaze me.

Perhaps if people like you stopped thumping your bible on subjects like homosexuality, there would be less bashing of religion. Spare us the anti gay propaganda and I"m sure less people would spout off anti religion propaganda.

Would you like to give us credible evidence of homosexuality being a mental disorder? And I'm not talking about religious websites/studies. And you wonder why people bash your opinions and religion in general.....stop with the lies.

One thing all bigots have in common is that they don't want to allow anyone with whom they disagree the freedom to speak.
I do think one can rather easily distinguish the anger and frustration some gay people have towards religious zealots, particularly Christians, and the blissful ignorance of homophobia. There wouldn't be much of the former but for the latter. From my own anecdotal experience, gay people like myself only have a problem with religious people when they seek to limit the rights and liberties of LGBT people because of their own personal beliefs.

The solution is rather simple in theory but difficult in application. If religious zealots don't want to hear about homosexuality and would rather pretend it doesn't exist, then mind your own business and start practicing your religious beliefs instead of improperly using them as a tool to stand in the way of LGBT people seeking basic rights and liberties. That's the only way anyone's going to stop complaining about having anything shoved down their throat. Gay people are not going to just shut up simply because you can't understand them. People need to snap out of it and realize that we are not going to revert back to a time where homosexuality was so shunned that gay people were forced to live their lives in complete secrecy.
