Excrement would be a more accurate description of the above post.
And disease-ridden.
But if you're proud of it, that's your problem.
Concerning the question of rights, that homosexuals are a "legitimate minority group": Liberals are talking about a rise in hate crimes, against Arabs during the war, against different minority groups, and they ALWAYS include homosexuals, always slip in under that umbrella.
I don't think anyone should make physical assaults, but now, things such as verbal harassment. So what's next? If I see some guy pick up dog excrement off the street, and eat it, I'm not allowed to say anything? I'm not allowed to be disgusted and say: "Hey, you're sick, man! Cut it out!" If I see a prostitute on the corner, I'm not allowed to say: "Hey, you're doing something really terrible and awful! You're destroying yourself! I don't think you should be here!" That's the logical extension.
Anybody that wants to do any kind of evil, all they have to do is declare themselves a "minority group." Personally, I think that's one reason there's been an increase of intolerance towards LEGITIMATE minority groups. By homosexuals insisting that THEY'RE a minority group, they've diluted the whole concept of what a minority group IS. If being against homosexuality makes me a bigot, okay, I'm a bigot. That's what the liberals are saying: "If you won't tolerate homosexuality, then you're a bigot." They say that all the time. All I can say is: "Fine. So be it. Then I'm a bigot."
I think a lot of other people out there are saying the same thing. They've made it ACCEPTABLE to be a bigot, because people are saying: "If being in favor of civil rights means that I have to tolerate homosexuality, then I'm not in favor of civil rights anymore." Now bigotry is legitimized, because you can't expect people to accept homosexuality. That's just not going to happen. It may happen over the short-term, for a short period of time, if they can propagandize enough people. But then, all these young kids are going to be born in twenty years from now. They're going to all be coming up, and they're going to be as disgusted and repelled by it as most people are today. So these battles are going to have to be fought all over again, and they're not going to win.
Will rapists claim to be the next persecuted minority? Am I a bigot if I'm against rape? Then okay, I'm a bigot. Forget the other minorities. If society says THEY'RE a minority, too, then all the REAL, LEGITIMATE minorities must be something to be intolerant of as well.
It legitimizes real bigotry. I think it's the worst mistake that the civil rights movement has made in the last twenty years, accepting homosexuals as a legitimate minority group. I know they were doing it just to try to increase their numbers and to increase the pressure, so they could get more rights for themselves. But they made a terrible mistake, because for one thing, they've given up their high moral ground. Now, the backlash against homosexuals has now extended to legitimate minorities.
What a terrible blow to the self-esteem of minorities, to say: "I'm a minority; homosexuals are a minority; therefore we're equal." That's what the homosexuals are saying. So a black person is supposed to say: "Oh? I'm equal to a homosexual?" An Asian is supposed to say: "Oh? I'm equal to a sex-pervert?" They're trying to equate this equivalence with legitimate minority groups, to go along with that. What a blow to their self-esteem, to their sense of their own self-worth, to say they're no better than these guys who go out and do these disgusting acts, just because their skin is black, or yellow, or whatever. That's cruel to themselves.
It's cruel to equate legitimate racial, ethnic, and religious minorities, with people who are in the minority because they do evil, and most people don't do evil.
