Instinctive rejection, not fear.

"“Homophobia” is phony propaganda word. I suspect that the overwhelming portion of people who disapprove of homosexual acts are not in any way living in “fear” of homosexuals. Just because you’re disgusted by the concept of anal sodomy or one dude orally copulating another dude doesn’t mean that you quake in fear when a homosexual gets on the bus or walks by you on the street. In fact the opposite is likely true. No one is trembling in fear that gangs of gays are roaming around with switchblades itching to mug you." That opposition to homosexuality and its expressions is usually not driven by a fear of such, esp. an irrational one, is what the article expounds on, esp. considering the all too typical decades of deadly effects of such. But this is not even the fundamental reason it is wrong, as instead is based upon what God ordained, which the devil perverts.

"“We just want to come out of the closet and live our lives in peace like everyone else.” That, my FR friends, was a outright, bald-face lie straight out of the pit of hell itself."

As the sodomites pushed to break down the door of Lot's house to get to the men, likewise homosexual activists work to force their way into every place and institution, from kindergarten to the church to the funeral home. Yet the greater damnation will be to those who were shown greater grace than Sodom, and rejected it.

I don’t have an issue with other adults personal choices but I do have one question, especially this month. Exactly what are they proud of?

100% Red herring.

"Phobic" comes from the Greek φόβος meaning "to fear." Just because you find what homosexuals do immoral or distasteful, or even if you find their flamboyance offensive, that has nothing to do with fear. And it also is pejorative.

"I don’t have an issue with other adults personal choices but I do have one question, especially this month. Exactly what are they proud of?" You mean what is the source of this perversion of what God has ordained proud of, who selfishly seeks God's power and glory, (Isaiah 14:13,14) the God who needs nothing, (Acts 17:25) but benevolently gave us both good things and good laws, and even spared not His very own Son to save us who broke His good laws and misused His good things?

It is the devil who lusts to conquer all that testifies God's greatness, and to pervert all that God wisely ordained (beginning with idolatry, and proceeding to murder and the sacred union of male and female,, and more), and thus to boast that a nation which once could much claim to be a nation under God now implicitly salutes the devil, with seventy percent of Americans saying they support same-sex marriage.

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. (Psalms 9:17)

“Marshall Kirk died in 2005 at the young age of 47.[74] The cause of death has not been publicly revealed. “

Uh huh.

The actual old fashioned science indicates they have a high suicide rate, a high disease rate and are very vindictive towards those who oppose their attempts at social influencing. That vindictiveness extends to legal, social and financial ruination of people they don't like.

It's part of a complete immoral whole.

"I don’t believe in god."

So you object to this article posted on an officially pro-God, pro-Bible forum, and which article itself does not even mention the Biblical reasons for opposing homosexuality and what goes with it? Or do even oppose what the article states, and its position on homosexual relations? If not, then why respond with an atheist statement?

FreedomPoster calls it being "homonauseous," but the promoters of the homosexual life insist on compelling all to essentially salute the flag of Sodom, and persecute those who will not. Which is the only reason you much about it from conservatives, this being pushback.

Yep, good catch.

"Exactly what are they proud of?"

Public relations victories that are aided by people who think this is a personal choice instead of a self-defeating one that erodes civilization. Should be driven back into the closet and shamed in that behavior comes "out".

Sorry, "...if that behavior..."

For the record I rank adultery leading to broken marriages/families and promiscuity that leads to cynicism between the sexes right up there with "that behavior".

I’m not homo”phobic”, as that would imply some sort of fear of homosexuals. I prefer the term homoabhorrent. I absolutely abhor the thought of another man touching me in an unnatural way. Add that to the prospect of poo-poo on your pee-pee and I’m homoabhorrent x 2.

I am not afraid of them. I am disgusted and repulsed by them. The overt gross voyeurs.

Disgust is not irrational fear. Its something that makes you sick and grossed out.

There are far more destructive forces abroad destroying civilizations. Fiat currencies and collectivism are, in my opinion, the root cause of our present situation.
