Are gay rights groups turning into hate groups?
Most gay rights groups have not explicitly called for violence, but they positively glory in hurling hateful epithets like "bigot" at their opponents and accusing them of all sorts of malicious motives simply because they don't want to be forced to repudiate their beliefs about sexuality. Hate speech, in fact, is becoming their specialty.
At some point, someone is going to start labeling them as hate groups. Heck, why not now?

You are welcome to post at this blog. You are asked, however, to refrain from the following:
1. Name-calling;
2. Questioning the motives or integrity of people you have never met just because you disagree with them;
3. Using obscenities or other expressions not appropriate or necessary to civilized discussion;
4. Taking disagreement personally;
5. Demeaning or insulting remarks.
The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.
Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.
So, you're saying Gay Rights Groups (might be hate groups) have met the enemy (hate groups) and they is them (hate groups)?
ReplyDeleteMaybe one of the Mormon church ads should have said..OK, OK So how's about another look at polygamy?
ReplyDeleteThem gays better be careful; such language of hate will eventually incite normal Americans to the extent that one day in the future one or two might contemplate violence against gays.

So what's the anti-gay body count in America now, Jah?
ReplyDeleteBody count?
ReplyDeleteSo, am I getting this right:
1) Murdering gays is wrong.
2) Other physical abuse is ok.
3) Verbal insults and other rude treatment, housing and job discrimination are not even worth mentioning. [Unless the verbal insults are delivered by gays or their supporters, in which case it is hate speech.]
If homosexuality is a developmental disorder then why is such treatment acceptable? Oops - I forgot, in Kentucky I don't think the mentally retarded are permitted to marry either.
Anyone want to dispute that the "killed solely because they were heterosexual" murder rate is orders of magnitude lower than the "killed solely because they were homosexual" murder rate?

jah.. When a gay man murders a gay man is that a double hate crime?
ReplyDeleteJah,
ReplyDeleteThat's a very long non-answer to my question, which was, "What's the anti-gay body count in America now?"
If only one country, for whatever reason, tolerates a family with a homosexual in it, that family will become the germ center for fresh sedition. If one little homosexual survives without any homosexual education, with no church and no school, homsexuality is in his soul. Even if there had never been a church or a homosexual culture , the homosexual spirit would still exist and exert its influence. It has been there from the beginning and there is no homosexual, not a single one, who does not personify it.
ReplyDeleteIs that about it?
Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteTo what, exactly is "it" supposed to refer? To my question of how many gays have been murdered for being gay?
Gee, it sure is hard to get a simple answer around here...
But you guys are bigots. It's not hateful if it's true.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
ReplyDeleteSo then it's okay for people to call gays "faggots" on the grounds that its true?
MC: Gee, it sure is hard to get a simple answer around here...
ReplyDeleteIt is not simple to come up with an accurate answer. Surely some though.
Of more significance is why Mr Cothran calls gay words "hate speech" yet does not comment at all on the torture and murder of gays.
Some complain that moderate Moslems do not denounce the extremists in their midst. How is this any different from Mr Cothran fussing about hateful words while ignoring far worse actions? And is this a conscious or unconscious decision on his part?
PS That's my line above. E.g., why won't anyone explain why it is obvious the only possible reason some cultures abhor cannibalism is religious?
jah
Jah,
ReplyDeleteI'll repeat my question that you very obviously don't want to answer FOR THE THIRD TIME: How many gays have been murdered in America by non-gays because they are gay?
Jah,
ReplyDeleteYou there?
Andrew Shepherd wasn't enough for you, Martin?
ReplyDeleteBrandon Teena count for you, Martin?
ReplyDeleteAnd so what's our total, then, two? Is that what you mean by "the torture and murder of gays"? Two isolated incidents?
ReplyDeleteMartin, The two incidents cited are not isolated. To insinuate that they are is ludicrous and disingenuous. And what if there were only two incidents? That would still be two too many.
ReplyDeleteWell lets look at it rationally (I know this is a challenge for religious people but try to play along).
ReplyDeleteYou religious folks want to make sure the the governmental protections of rights and responsibilities apply to most Americans but not to others. You're actually voting to deny people the same rights that the government gives you.
Is there a different word than "bigotry" that describes that situation? You keep telling us "but it's just a difference of opinion". Would that argument still work if your "opinion" was "Let's keep the vote away from the blacks"?
No, it's not "hate speech". It's simply the truth. Anyone who voted Yes on prop 8 in California is by definition a bigot because you voted to deny a subset of Americans the same rights that you have.
