Perhaps it's because of people like you, who label them as pedophiles and sex fiends?
Surely there were acts of heroism by pedophiles among the thousands involved in the tragedy. Did they shatter the stereotypes we have of pedophiles?
Typical -- you can't have a discussion of gay people without throwing the pedophile card in. Then you wonder why gay people want to point out their heroes?
So you seem to agree that effeminate gays are not brave.
Where did you get that idea?
Then what is your definition of the thousands of men and women who have left the gay lifestyle?
In denial!
Dr. Laura has even supported and written the forward on a book about the subject. Are you calling her crazy?
Did she write the forward for the book of the "ex-gay" who was on the cover of Newsweek, and then was caught in a gay bar? Or the one who got together with another "ex-gay" and became "ex-ex-gay"?
A gay man can give up sex, but that doesn't make him straight any more than Michael Jackson bleaching his skin makes him white.
Celibate homosexual people are not gay.
A faithful wife who secretly would like to have homosexual sex but never does is not lesbian.
If a person likes meat but acts like a vegetarian for moral reasons then he is a vegetarian, not a meateater. If a man would like to have sex with men but does not for moral reasons then he is chaste or celibate, not gay.
