I agree with all you say, but unfortunately the sanctimonious and self-righteous rainbow agenda will never back down, never admit that there can be any other opinions except their own- and to their thinking, they hold no opinions: The APA has convinced them that they are in possession of the TRUTH.
Just read what one gay advocate has to say about her meeting with the FRC guard and her attempts to get through to Tony Perkins: of course, she says she had “documented research” to back her up. I would like to know your opinion on how one deals with such people, as her name is legion:

The comments at the link you posted show the typical “open mindedness” of the left. This one is classic -
“I just caught a Friend’s comment about supporting Christianity and Chic-Filet. I cut her from my friends list, and her comment bothered me for days. What sustains this exclusionism and bigotry? I guess mainly fear and $$$$$$”.
Clearly this woman is not open to “dialog” with anyone with different views while complaining about their “exclusionism”.

She was, no doubt, presenting some 'study' that concluded 'gay' teenagers are bullied and not accepted by their heterosexual peers and that this has a negative impact on their self-esteem, etc. Hardly news.
I would ask her for proof that homosexual behavior is genetic (is is not and has never been proven to be). If she claims that it is, then I would tell her that God must have made 'gay' people in a manner that would make it impossible for them not to sin against Him, which is not plausible.
Of course a teenager 'coming out' as homosexual is going to be ridiculed by some of his male peers who are just entering puberty and acutely aware of their heterosexuality and see his 'gayness' as weird and unnatural. That doesn't excuse physical violence or verbal harassment of any kind, it simply explains why it happens. Despite years of pro-gay propaganda in schools and the mass media, the ultimate insult from one teenage boy to another remains calling your adversary 'gay'. I believe this happens because, with or without a religious upbringing (all of the major faiths - including Islam - condemn homosexual behavior) young people know, inherently, that a male having anal or oral sex with another male is not normal and telling him that it is can't change what he senses to be wrong.
This tiresome woman (and her 'documented research') advising Christians to 'get to know' gay people, inferring that their rejection of homosexual behavior is based on blind prejudice that personal contact can evaporate, is obviously disdainful of religion. I'm sure she believes that really smart, compassionate folks - like her! - can 'fix' Christians that allegedly 'hate' those engaging in homosexual behavior with a bit of condescending advice and 'documented proof'. She may be legion but those of us who oppose the onslaught of sexual perversion in America and the attempts to 'normalize' that behavior while putting traditional sexual morality on the defensive are still the majority. For proof, see how state referendums seeking to make 'same-sex marriage' legal have failed in state after state. We must continue to oppose people such as this woman and her 'documented research' and never forget that God is in control.
