The great irony: homophobic conservatives who love RENT — Page 6

""And pipe down? Excuse me? My entire post was related to the topic for which this thread was started. I made one relatively tasteful statement regarding my stance on homosexuality (which the thread starter DID bring up). But then, of course, everyone jumps down my throat for being intolerant of their opinions, while they cannot seem to be tolerant of mine.""

Interesting.

And thank you, Katygrace84.

I'm sorry, Elphaba, but I have to say in Derech2's deffense, he (she) has yet to be blatantly rude or resort to namecalling...he has fairly addressed the topic at hand honestly. Where as you have repeatedly called him a bigot and a hater...who's hating who? I'm not trying to throw fuel in the fire, but I just think we should all attempt to be as mature and fair as possible.

Yeah, I don't know what it means either. I mean, you would think that Derech wouldn't watch Rent; that is certainly supporting homosexuals. I mean, that applies to most musical theatre :0)

You can say (though it would be sad if you did) "I think homosexuality is wrong" or "I don't like giving homosexuals rights" but saying you don't support homosexuals is extremely vague.

isn't it obvious what berech is trying to say, he/she/it doesn't believe that faggotry is a natural occurence. He beleives people choose to be gay and thus it is not the same thing as race or gender becuase those are things you can't choose (gender to a lesser exent because we do now have gender reassignment, but you get the idea). That is where he falls into a pit of ignorance.

well you know what berech, I didn't choose, and no one i know did. did you CHOOSE to be straight (assuming you are, unless you are one of those pathetic self hating queers). Did you one day make a conscious descision to like someone of the opposite sex?

Man, I hate it when you leave for a few hours and all the posts multiply times a billion. XD

So we can clear things up -- I apologize (a second time) for my war example. I should have chosen a better one.

ZONEFACE, actually my name is Derech. Nice try though. And thank you for calling me igorant!

joniray, out of curiosity, does homosexuality = homosexuals in your opinion?

---

Derech, if you could just explain how "not supporting homosexuality" isn't the same as being against homosexuals?

Ok, well now you are being childish and beligerent, and there is really nothing that can be said to that.

At least now I get who it is I'm dealing with here--another young, foolish, ignorant homophobe who will wake up one day if they are lucky.

you can't answer chita's question in the thread?

---

ZONEFACE, I can, but I will not.

---

that's very telling

---

Not really, jrb_actor. There would not be much point beyond stating my beliefs (obviously quite dangerous), as I am certain you would not change my opinion any more than I would change yours.

---

oh please, you know we would rip apart your reasoning and make everyone see (except obviously you because you are beyond help) jus how much of an ignorant, biggoted, fool you really are.

jrb_actor, I'm sorry, my opinion not fit for public? I do not agree with homosexuality. I believe it is a sin. If my opinion is not fit for public, I fail to see why I have been participating in this discussion. If I was concerned about keeping my opinion away from the public eye, I would not write this: I believe homosexuality is wrong. How many different ways do you care that I express it?

I have been called: cowardly, a bigot, and a fool (and other less offensive terms). Let's just resort to name calling, why don't we, but I can assure that will not progress your argument. We call it ad hominem. Any Latin scholars out there?

But since you all seem to so curious, my PM to chita33 was a matter of clarification at the risk of misunderstanding each other. It seems you're eager to have me repeatedly state my opinion so you can a) feel offended b) resort to name calling or c) in some way further demean me. Forgive me if this is a misconception.

Hey--a spade is a spade. It's not name calling. It's what you are. Sorry. That's the breaks. I didn't make up the rules.
