Being gay is not “a behavior”: Just how offensive can these anti-LGBT billboards get? [Proverbs 30]
Salon ^ | 5/8/2015 | Mary Elizabeth Williams

Posted on 05/08/2015 3:08:12 PM PDT by Jan_Sobieski

These must be very troubling and frustrating times for you, homophobes. A majority of Americans now support marriage equality, and face it, if it’s not fully recognized where you live yet, it will be and soon. A majority of us also support gay political candidates, and we seem to be able to watch gay people on television and movies and listen to them as we drive around in post breakup sadness without the fabric of society crumbling — probably because if you look across the population, it’s composed entirely of people who either are LGBT or who know someone who is.

And yet, bless your tenacious, confused, chilly little hearts, some of you still don’t get it. And you just cannot stop talking about it. Drivers in the Detroit metro area this week were surprised — some of them stunned enough to pull over — when they saw a billboard that showed a picture of a woman who was “born Asian” and a rainbow-striped man who was “not born this way” and the message that “Homosexuality is a behavior. Not a civil right.” Obviously, there are bible verses involved. It’s the work of a charmingly low production values site called Restrain the Judges. It promises, “In order to prevent the Roe v. Wade of Marriage, we must act now” and urges visitors to mail politicians “to use the authority granted by the U.S. Constitution to restrain federal judges and the Supreme Court from undermining marriage any further!”

Why? Because the organization says, “The homosexual agenda brings with it an unprecedented assault on religious liberty and freedom of conscience against pastors, churches, business and facility owners, employees, public officials, organizations, ministries, and citizens.” You know, blah blah blah AGENDA...

And you can scream all you want, but it’s [homosexual marriage] here and it’s happening and no ugly billboard anywhere can change it. So get used to it.

There you have it! Mary Elizabeth Williams speaks for this current generation when she castigates as hateful and offensive anyone who would dare question homosexuality or homosexual marriage. 6000 years of civilization be damned!

To this generation, it’s about love. It’s about family. It’s about fairness. Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with fact, truth, or statistics that show that homosexuality is a bane to any civilized society.

The average life expectancy of a homosexual male in the United States hovers around 45 (25 years less than the national average). As a group, homosexuals are the most diseased, depressed, and heavily medicated. If you loved someone, wouldn't you warn them not to engage in behaviors that would result in their early death? Wouldn't you seek their help before they ended up dead? Not only a threat to the individual, homosexuality it destroys the moral fabric of culture.

Jesus Christ came to earth to set me free with the truth. The truth is that homosexuality is deadly, resulting not only in physical death, but spiritual death as well. To save homosexuals and all sinners, Jesus Christ laid his life down to pay for our sins and offers redemption to anyone who will repent, turn from their sin, and believe in Him. Previous generations heeded His call and accepted his free gift. Will this generation hear?

Proverbs 30:12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness. 13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up . 14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.

Here's the billboard for those wishing to bypass the fetid swamp of the commie rag, Salon. The billboard is 100% right! The deviancy of sodomy is a deliberate choice, it's demonstrably not genetic.

Acting out gayness is a behavior.

"Being gay is not “a behavior”

Uhh, it's not? Does that mean that I can act like a gerbil and not have that counted as "Behavior"?

Certain organs should not be placed in certain orifices. It is perverted (i.e., abnormal).

Queer is not something you ARE. It's something you DO.

So the billboard is right. Refute its message instead of resorting to juvenile name-calling and nyah nyah nyah tactics.

And bear in mind that even if faux "marriage" is "here and happening," that doesn't mean we have to accept it. There will be more billboards and more resistance and ultimately, it may come down to worse. If -- when? -- it does, people like Lezzie Lizzie here will be among the first to suffer.

Muslims aren’t smart. Just redirect them to places like Salon, etc. Dupe websites. Blog Salon posting muhamod cartoons, etc.

We can’t call homosexuality a mental illness any more, even though it is.

We can’t call homosexuality a sin any more, even though it is.

We can’t call homosexuality a lifestyle or a lifestyle choice any more, even though it is.

Now the far left activists are ordering us around again: We can’t call homosexuality a behavior any more, even though it is.

If they would just shut up about it, we wouldn’t talk about it, and then both sides would be happy (or they would if they were honest and really only wanted what they claim to want). Decent people have no interest in the perversion of others, and we don’t want to hear about it. If they would merely leave us alone, I’m certain that normal people would never ask. The problem is that what the far left wants is to compel us to openly celebrate the sin, perversion, mental illness and unhealthy lifestyle that homosexual behavior constitutes. That is never going to happen - free people do not surrender to force.

young white women are a WEIRD bunch today. I was in a deli on GJ duty break and a 20 something white woman comes in and real nasty says “you’re out of SALAD?!”
they said yeah, but they had other stuff.
She said “NO, I NEED PROTEIN!!”
and she stormed out.
I asked the counter person what kind of salad has protein, and they said she was a regular looking for tuna salad.
Just weird. If she’s married, he’s probably “praying for the end of time”
As with this anther, it seems the in thing is to hate white straight men and love everyone else.
Let those other groups fight the next war.

So, I guess with this, being Pedophile is not a behavior either.

If it’s not a behavior, why don’t they have sex with a light socket?

One of the 1961 goals of Communism is eliminating God.

Step 1: Mainstreaming homosexual lifestyle
Step 2: Mainstreaming homosexual “marriage”
Step 3: Eliminating God’s Word in the Bible as it will be “hate speech”

A majority of Americans now support marriage equality

I think nearly every American has always believed that one marriage is as valid as the next.

But redefining marriage is not 'equality' in theory or practice. And browbeating people until they give the desired answer in a poll is not the same thing as 'support.'

Moreover, intellectually grasping these concepts and writing about same is not 'homophobia.' It's logic.

yeah, salon is the only Thing I wont read on here. The ditz (er, writer) seems to think if a plurality of the people believe in something, then it is the right path. Not a history buff, I see.
Also, time for me to stop goose stepping over the coming battle with my nephews and nieces who think this oxymoron gay marriage is just peachy!!
I'd rather lose contact with them than just stay silent on the issue.
