Ih by the way.... Homosexuals belong in prison.

By the way, these kinds of statements probably help promote the homosexual agenda more effectively than any gay rights campaign could ever do.

Saying homosexuals belong in prison feeds right into the stereotype of homophobic bigots and hate mongers who want to put people in jail for what they do in their bed rooms.
Even people who normally won't support gay rights would prefer that if it means stopping fanatics who might just next suggest stoning adulterers.

Your argument is like saying that one should not say people who rob stores should be in prison because if we do that then someone may suggest that shoplifters should be executed. This will scare people so bad that they will actually join with robbers in their effort to legalize robbery.

Golly we should not speak out against anything for fear that someone will take it as hate speech or they may think we will not ever change our minds about them. (A bigot is one who holds views that they are not willing to change) Well what the hell is wrong with not wanting to change your mind about some things? What’s wrong with me not wanting to change my mind about homosexuality being a criminal behavior?

Do people have the right to engage in criminal behavior as long as it is behind closed doors or in the privacy of their own homes? Should we be more tolerant of it because they only do it with the door closed? Maybe society should let me beat my wife as long as I do it in the privacy of my bedroom and she is unwilling to complain. Maybe we should not suggest that wife beaters belong in jail for fear that someone will say we should execute people who spank their children. This will scare the rest of us into siding with the spousal abusers.

Where do you come up with this type of thinking?
