You have got to be fucking kidding me. Being persecuted more than GAYS?? You actually believe that? How many people do you see getting their heads bashed in with baseball bats or beaten to death by gangs of thugs simply because they oppose gay rights? None. How many gay men or those who are perceived to be gay do you see getting their head bashed in with baseball bats or beaten to death by gangs of thugs? A LOT. New York City alone is plagued with numerous gay bashings and murders.
Do you see people putting up websites called GOD HATES ANTI-GAYS and all ANTI-GAYS must die. Look across the country at what the teabaggers are doing to equal rights in states across the country. Governors and state legislators are repealing equal rights for LGBT folks everywhere or trying to impose straights only legislation.
You know what us GAYS want? For you to leave us the fuck alone and let us live our lives. We don't want to destroy your families or your faith or your churches or even your mistaken misguided beliefs. WE WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT FEAR. That's all. End of story. Look at Uganda and the Kill-The-Gays bill. Who got that ball rolling? Why some very eager and industrious evangelicals in the good ol' U.S.ofA.
Your post is complete bullshit.
No, your post is complete bullshit.
If a celebrity or politician goes on television stating anything that can be construed as the slightest bit anti-gay, they'll be ostracized and more or less ruin their career. If I walked into my office tomorrow and started telling everyone I didn't think gays had the right to get married, I'd be fired. On the other hand, if a celebrity or a politician "comes out" they will get hundreds of talk show offers, interviews, and their ratings of any show or movie they are in will skyrocket. If I walked in my office tomorrow and came out, I'd get 25 emails of people supporting me and telling me how "strong" I am.
It's not cool to be gay huh?
Why is it , that over the four years I was in high school, there went from being four people(three girls and one guy) that were homosexual freshman year to about 50% of the school claiming to at least be Bi by the time I graduated? Why did 3 different social clubs for gays open up? Why is it that there are school groups that get to cut class and go on field trips once a week, and the only requirement is that you are gay or "exploring your sexuality"?
Claim that the gay subculture is not more promiscuous all you want, but by FAR the craziest clubs I've ever been in regarding open sexual acts and the amount of drugs are the gay clubs. Yeah, you guys are better at partying than straights, but that's not really a scene that I think is healthy for my teens, straight or not.
New York is a shithole. I'm sure there are a lot of crimes against gays there. There are a lot of crimes against people for being white, for being black, for being asian, for being a woman, there too. Show me the stats of overall violent crime, of hate crimes in general, and of hate crimes specifically against gays in New York. While you're at it, show me the stats for somewhere that isn't a shithole.
I believe that you personally don't want to destroy families or churches, but there are very real and very outspoken people within your community that have explicitly stated that they do.
