My argument does not depend upon citing "all homosexuals" or "all" of anything. If we were limited to making decisions or judgments based upon "all" of a category -- we would never decide anything of significance.
During the civil rights debate in the 1950's and 1960's, segregationists raised many of the same type of objections you raise about gays. There were ministers (including Jerry Falwell and Billy James Hargis) that wrote or spoke about segregation being "ordained by God" and they claimed it was based upon "Biblical principles". There were racists who objected to being described as racist because they claimed to know "some Nigras" who were good neighbors. ("They're not ALL bad"). There were very prominent politicians, businessmen, and newspaper publishers who organized and financed "White Citizens Councils" to thwart integration and they portrayed themselves as "anti-Communist patriots" and "defenders of Christianity".
I merely suggest that the tone of your remarks betokens a quality of mind and spirit that falsifies your pretended "religious and other values".
*AHEM*
Homosexuals are more likely to be beaten up by a partner than by "homophobes" committing "hate crimes." Many times more likely. There is no "straight Gestapo," as one acquaintance of mine put it. Your cries of being oppressed are little more than a transparent attempt to garner sympathy.
You really ARE hysterical. The fact that my values are my values doesn't imply any pretense at all. And if you don't like my "tone" that you think "belies" my values, then it just reveals your ignorance about them. I for one do not think that "hate the sin but love the sinner" is in the Bible.
By the way, you never have answered my question, just taken supercilious pot-shots. Is the Bible hate speech or not?
