No, I take whatever stances I have, whether the chips fall.
and attempt to combine the person with the activity further implying one must love or accept homosexual activity?
How can you separate the person from the activity? Can you separate a Christian from his/her Churchgoing behavior, or his/her prayer? That's a fundamental part of their identity. Likewise, to separate a mother from her activity of raising children or a husband from his activity of making love to his wife. What we do is not separate from who we are, it is who we are.
???... LOL -maybe you can't separate the action from the individual --hence, one must either choose to condemn all homosexuals -even those that choose to remain chaste OR accept all homosexuals -even those that prey on children? ---Better yet maybe all deviant urges are 'natural' and must be accepted?
Interesting concept -a liberal homosexual activist concept...
"They were so pathetic. I felt terribly sorry for them."
Don't waste your energy. They neither seek nor welcome your sympathy.
"It was like they didn't belong anywhere, and getting sick would bring them into a community or something."
It is for them a part of the homosexual("gay") identity.(Thereby putting the lie to the claim that "AIDS is not a gay illness.")
"They would get some attention and be cared about."
Not by you. Only by their fellow disease vectors.
Sorry, but these organisms live in a different world than normal people. You don't have a clue about them. I have a glimmer only because I have worked with them off and on for years...
"It has nothing to do with drug company advertising."
Your comment is dead on. Well put.
Rolling Stone stands by their story, despite what their detractors have to say. And the Acting Up video supports the Rolling Stone article. If you actually read the articles with a critical mindset you might see things that you apparently don't see.
How can you not?
You're kidding, right? You accept what Cabaj says without questioning it because it confirms your prejudices, and then you tell me I'm not being open-minded? I mean, you know what a critical mindset is, right? If someone says something, you doubt it, evenespecially if you want to believe it.
What did I put in your mouth, anyway?
No, I'm not kidding. And you keep missing the point. Cabaj was biased in favor of homosexuality and made an observation about what he saw occurring in the homosexual community. Deal with it.
I suspect you are right, I really don't know much about them. I just felt sorry for the ones I saw interviewed. There must be some hope for them, though. Many do come out of that lifestyle, by the grace of God.
I think the ones who get to the bug-chaser stage are essentially beyond redemption. Perhaps I should have more faith, but I think there are some boundaries which, once crossed, cannot be revisited. There are Rubicons in life, as in war.
I admire your sensitivities however!
