I saw this story yesterday. I'm not a reflexive homophobe as so many FReepers are

What kind of homophobe are you? A high-horse homophobe?

(some with good reason, some apparently just out of joy that there is one group remaining they can hate without guilt.)

Apparently it's okay to hate homophobes with a clear conscience so there are at least two groups out there that it's okay to hate.

Mostly I am very glad I don't have that particular temptation;

Mmm-hmm.

mine are enough to cope with.

You ever thought about exercising SELF-CONTROL?

Can I throw stones?

Yes. As long as you don't throw like a girl.

Have I done so much better? Don't know, can't guess; hope so, but doubt so.

Well, there's one way to find out. Let a lesbian couple adopt one of your daughters and then see how they each turn out 20 years from now.

If someone is gay and makes a stable family, maybe they are doing the best they can, spiritually and morally.

On the other hand, maybe you're just too chicken to stand up for what's right.

I find promiscuous gay lifestyles far, far more offensive...but worse than promiscuous straight ones? No, not much. And from the proliferation of internet porn it is obvious that gays really don't have straights beat in the perversion department.

At least you recognize that people who engage in homosexual acts are perverted. Or do you? You seem to go both ways.

I wish these two men well and hope they are good parents.

It's not about the men. It's about the kid.

Certainly most straight parents don't seem to get it right any more, and many get it so horribly wrong.

Yeah? But then, you wouldn't want to push your definition of what's "right" on others would you?

It seems that they are starting with one terrible handicap that will make everything harder--mostly on the kid, not them.

FINALLY! A tiny pinhole of light getting through that muddled brainwashed head of yours.

ROTFLMAO

Cat is just a nice person who doesn't have opinions about others except those that have "opinions about others".

One must be Christ-like to have opinions about behavior don't you know?

Relativism is a wonderful thing....sort of like equivocating morality....the grease that keeps our indignation and guilt rolling along.

I don't suppose you ever actually READ the Bible, did you?

Let he who is without sin....?

Lots of FReepers think they are without sin, I guess. Wonderful for them.

It didn't say "Let he who has LESS sin by their own reckoning cast the first stone..."

The gay people I've known were not obnoxious about it. So I don't hate them. Sorry about that.

LOL! Now THAT's funny.

Great post (#14). You certainly did a fantastic job of trying to straighten out Chemist Cat's thinking on this matter.

I thought this was an unusual post by CC, whose comments on other matters are usually very well-reasoned. I don't know what happened this time.
