If being homophobic means finding the homosexual sex act nasty and repulsive, call me a proud homophobe. How dare the gays try to make this word diparaging.

I am A Proud HOMOPHOB

[ArGee]

I skipped most of this as drivel, but here is an important line.

Translated: Hey, I place you in the same category as all those scummy people I just mentioned. Oh, and if you act on who you are, you're also a criminal.

Can anyone here on FR point to a moral code of any religion that accepts homosexual behavior as moral but polygamy, bigamy, adultery, and incest as immoral? In other words, if I lump those 5 together and none of them are immoral then it doesn't matter that I've lumped them together. It would be like lumping together homosexual sex and eating or bigamy and swimming. If they are all immoral then it doesn't matter that I've lumped them together. It's just like lumping bigamy with murder or incest with rape.

The fact that the homosexual community identified all those other sexual behaviors as immoral (not part of Santorum's statement) shows that they know there are valid and invalid sexual relations. Why, then, are they so upset when someone suggests that homosex would be one of the invalid ones?

Is this a case of the truth hurting?

Shalom.

Don't be defensive on this subject, be aggressive! Like:

"Homophobia is good for society."

Well, if that's the case...sign me up as being a proud homophobe as well.

I was in the middle of sending the author of that article a letter when I realized....

It would not matter to him in the least because people like him would NEVER know what right or wrong is.

I threw the email into the oblivion of the delete key.

[Texas Eagle]

Oh, and if you act on who you are,.....

And therein lies the lie. Homosexuality is not a "condition" or a state of being. It is an act. A decision. A behavior.
And that is why any time a person who engages in homosexual acts tries to compare himself to a protected minority community, the leaders of that minority group should be outraged at the attempted link-up.

But then, there are no such things as minority "groups". But I'll save that for the appropriate thread.

[skeeter]

Tell us, whats "scummy" about beastiality, O. Ricardo??

[VaBthang4]

I think the writer is hetrophobic.

[AndyTheBear]

" . . . If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery," he told the Associated Press. "You have the right to anything. Does that undermine the fabric of our society? I would argue yes, it does."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but unlike the original misquote that set off this whole thing, this quote has him comparing consensual sex (not neccesarily gay) with bigomy ect. So if we are to extrapolate that this constitutes a display of bigotry against gays in paticular, then how is it that it is not just as much a display of bigotry against anyone else who engages in consenual sex?

Perhaps the display of bigotry is by the author.

[Texas Eagle]

Let me translate into "bigotspeak" what Sen. Rick Santorum meant

Why don't you translate it into Ebonics. That would be funnier.

[goldstategop]

He's a heterophobe who engages in name-calling. Several adjectives spring to mind but I won't stoop down to the gutter level to which he reduces Rick Santorum and the rest of us who disapprove of what gays do in bed behind closed doors.

[joesnuffy]

I think the Govt. is too involved in any kind of "pork" in the first place...
Sodomy is evil...the bible tells me so....
so why are homos so inclined to legitimize it and force the rest of us to "approve" of their proclivity..
why do they want society to put its stamp of approval on a thing God Himself has declared as unsuitable human activity?

[Grampa Dave]

It is far better to be a Proud Homophobe versus a diseased/dying Heterophobe Maggot!

[Recovering_Democrat]

Rick Santorum was correctly re-educating the apparently uneducated reporter regarding a stated position of a Supreme Court Justice on the legality of regulation of so-called "private" behaviour.

[Petronski]

If 'phobia' means 'irrational fear' then I am not a homophobe. I do not fear the homosexual act, I am disgusted by it. And even those who do fear it can hardly be called 'irrational' because of that fear.

These heterophobes are the irrational ones.

[ModernDayCato]

homophobic = fear of man

I fear no man, so I can't possibly be homophobic.

[BJungNan]

If being homophobic means...

It means someone is trying to say the reason you speak out against homosexuality is that you are afraid of it. In other words, they can't refute your position, so they assign one to you that they can knock down.

Have you ever met anyone that was afraid of a homosexual? Where do they come up with this stupidity. Homophobe. Like, I have a phobia. Give me a break.

[lady lawyer]

NOW HEAR THIS, Mr. Pimento:

Homosexuality is WORSE than bigamy or adultery. All are immoral. But homosexuality is also sick and unnatural.

[Polycarp]

That's because...many Republicans in and outside the Senate - and more than a few Democrats - agree with everything Santorum said.

Thank God!

Democrats will get some initial mileage out of this...but it will not have the legs for any long-haul criticism.

Because most Americans are still repulsed by homosexuality.

Mankind has spent several millenia developing effective and sanitary methods of disposing human waste.

Mankind knows that human waste is the source of deadly diseases.

Mankind knows that highly promiscuous sexual behavior of any kind brings with it high morbidity and mortality.

Male homosexual behavior is essentially desirous of methods to literally and figuratively swim upstream to the sources of that human waste, with as many different partners as humanly possible.

Therefore, homosexual behavior is deadly and definitely decreases the homosexual's life expectancy, and the visceral repulsion it engenders is a natural, wholesome, and common sense response.

Unfortunately, homophobia continues to enjoy a disturbing degree of public acceptance.

Translation: some Americans still enjoy a certain degree of common sense, and have not bought into the homo agenda propaganda.

Please, spare me the scripture readings. I know many take refuge in religion for their beliefs about gays. Religions evolve, however. We're not quite there on this issue, which is part of the reason Santorum will likely hold on to his leadership spot.

The moment we are there will be the moment this Republic fails. If it has not already.

You see, when it comes to gays, we are, in many respects, still knee-deep in the dark ages.

Of course, in many respects, the "dark ages" were much more enlightened than this idiot.

[Consort]

Rick should have done in the first place whatever he might have done if he could have done it all again, which I think he would have done, which goes to show that the past is not perfect.
