Hey, get a room!
Here's my opinion: in view that the owner of this site has made it abundantly clear that homosexualist promotion is not welcome here, you could push yourself a little to understand that when you are using his bandwidth, you might type a few more characters and make your position clear.
Or, you could save yourself and all the rest of us a lot of dyspepsia over nothing by refraining from posting pro-homosexualist opinion. Assuming that you can tell the difference. If you can't, just do us all a favor and don't post anything more about it; just give that entire topic a very wide margin.
When an article is posted that is lying propaganda, many of us feel it is important - a duty, even - to make comments showing that the propaganda is such, either refuting with facts, or at the very least, calling it what it is.

When people post propaganda articles without refuting them or stating “barf alert/this is propaganda” etc, and do this repeatedly, it is clear that the poster of said articles agrees with the propaganda; the only other reason would be a person who enjoys putting turds in the punch.

In fact, those very reasons are precisely why man of us post comments on FR!
I feel it proved useful... for those with actual constructive answers, like I am trying to provide about the Lord’s work.
I want to give SATAN dyspepsia... I care much less about people’s dyspepsia. A gospel ambush, as it were....
Little Jeremiah, since the posts were deleted I didn’t see them and can’t comment intelligently on why they were deleted.
While I try to give people the benefit of the doubt when they have more information than I do regarding how they use that information — especially when they’re fellow conservatives — I am also the first one to say that we all make mistakes.
We certainly agree on that.
