Lies/manipulations as usual. These kinds of asinine comments might impress some people. "Homophobia" is an obscure psychiatric term originally coined to define “a person’s fear of his or her own same-sex attraction.” It has been redefined and popularized by the political strategists of the “gay” movement to characterize all disapproval of homosexuality as a form of hatred and fear akin to mental illness (a phobia is an anxiety disorder). The word “homophobia” is today not a scientific term, but a propaganda tool for psychological manipulation. “Gays” and their allies use the accusation of hatred as a weapon, not because they believe it is true (they know that most of their opponents do not hate them), but because it is a very effective tool of psychological manipulation -- especially when used against Christians. I don't "hate" gay people. I don't agree with how they've chosen to define themselves and how they choose to live. I also don't beleive that the word "marriage" is what "gays" are really after. Their necessary goal is the replacement of Biblical sexual morality with some other moral system that allows “sexual freedom.” In other words, especially in “Christian” America, the agenda of the “gay” movement is to defeat Christianity.

While "gays" and their allies accuse Christians of "hatred" and "phobia" it is they that really hate. They hate the Christian system of family.

The “gay” vision of a society with no restrictions on sexual conduct is an immature and self-centered fantasy. It promotes behavior that is non-procreative and associated with disease, addictions, psychopathology, abortion and shortened life span, in short, a “culture of death.” In contrast, the Christian vision for a family-centered society creates a “culture of life“ by promoting responsible procreation and raising of children, caring for family members, and financial responsibility.

Just what do you define as "Chistian America"? I am American and Christian, but I don't think we would agree on much. But, I don't feel attacked by gays and actually no one outside of my own family has any affect on my lifestyle.

I can recall a day when the hallmark of Christian activism was their sincere commitment to protect the rights of ALL people.

You probably don't realize that all of that addressed nothing that was being said. The study I linked defined "homophobes" very clearly as men who "admitted negative affect toward homosexual individuals" -- in other words, they're guys that say they don't like fags. You may dispute the label "homophobe" for such a person, but that doesn't change what was studied here, which was guys that say they don't like fags; you can pick another word for it if you like but it still will be the same thing -- guys that say they don't like fags. Which includes you, of course.

The study divided the guys who said they didn't like fags from those that didn't hold such views, and showed each group "sexually explicit erotic stimuli consisting of heterosexual, male homosexual, and lesbian videotapes" -- straight, gay, and lesbian porn movies, in other words -- and measured their erotic arousal.

"Both groups exhibited increases in penile circumference to the heterosexual and female homosexual videos. Only the homophobic men showed an increase in penile erection to male homosexual stimuli."

Ain't that interestin'?

So -- when are you coming out of the closet, Captain?

Ya fairie.

First off, there is no "Christian" America. Theres America, where we accept people of all faiths genders creeds and races, and have this nifty concept of seperation of church and state.

how are gays going to destroy the christian idea of family? you gonna stop fucking your wife? Are they going to seduce the men folk like the gay sirens that they are? cmon dude shits weak.

and just how are gays linked to abortion if theyre non procreative? lol

Silliness

Are most folks that beleive "gay marriage" is wrong closeted "gays" ?

Just me ?

What a sore loser tactic to use in an argument

Sure, and then that would be the end of the Republic. I mean, if you want to live in the United States of Iran, save the rest of us some trouble and actually go to Iran.
