... and seeking to undermine the stability of the traditional family to recruit kids into the practice of homosexuality,

My stake in homosexuality is the defense of the traditional family that has proven the test of time for at least 5000 years.

Interestingly, Anna C. Salter writes, in “Predators, Pedophiles, Rapists and other Sex Offenders”, that when a man molests little girls, we call him a "pedophile" and not a "heterosexual." Of course, when a man molests little boys, people say outright, or mutter under their breath, "homosexual. Herek writes that because of our society's aversion to male homosexuality, and the attempts made by some to represent gay men as a danger to "family values," many in our society immediately think of male-male molestation as homosexuality. He compares this with the time when African Americans were often falsely accused of raping white women, and when medieval Jews were accused of murdering Christian babies in ritual sacrifices. Both are examples of how mainstream society eagerly jumped to conclusions to that justified discrimination and violence against these minorities. Today, gays face the same kind of prejudice. Most recently, we've seen gay men unfairly turned out of the Boy Scouts of America on the basis of this myth that gay men are likely to be child molesters. Keeping gays out of scouting won't protect boys from pedophiles.

If you don’t like “flamboyant” men, does that mean you do not like women either? Very feminine women that is..

No, I do not have anything against very feminine women. They do not act like Richard Simmons.

Sean, you are deliciously deluded and are dangerously nearing that all too funny stereotype of the Ultra-Conservative, Ultra-Christian, Homophobe. I'm no longer frustrated by such comments. Now I'm just laughing and shaking my head.

I have a question for you, Sean. How many gay men do you actually know?

Vertivert,

When this thread was formed, it was discussed with the other moderators whether it should be kept open or if we should kill it quickly. We decided that it should be kept open because it is a topic of debate and if we killed it, another similar topic would take its place anyways.

As far as homophobia, there is a difference between debating an opinion and threatening a group of people. The persons that have done the later in this thread have been dealt with in accordance to the moderators guidelines and of moderator discussion (with persons who would be biased recusing themselves) as to how to best deal with the problem. As far as the former, the opinions will come out anyways and a good debate is healthy for all those involved.

I am here because I have AS, and that is what this group is for. I don't appreciate your insults, you don't need to attack me personally. When you do, you obviously can't make a case.

I don't want in on this debate, however I will say that you have your facts wrong here- while I agree that people can and do twist the bible to create their own meanings- the bible DOES speak very clearly and specifically against homosexuality or "sodomy".

And if we were ALL christians, and of your spectfic denomination that might mean something.

I've known more than I can give you a number for. I aways seemed to have problems with them even before they came out of the closet or learned that they were gay. You see, my dislike of homosexuality is more than just theoretical.
