A&E started a show with a bunch of southerners and now people are surprised that they are Christian and not really gay friendly. Gee, how did they miss that?
Is it bigoted to say that homosexuality is a mostly chosen lifestyle? No, plenty of evidence to suggest it is, and no scientifically verifiable evidence that it is not. In short the jury is still out.
Is it possible, even remotely, that this is just a marketing scheme to get these a-holes AND the crappy tv station some seriously expansive and FREE publicity???
I don't think so.
This is all just a flatulence of narratives, rhetorical nonsense from both sides being thrown at each other to silence the other's point of view.
Is it bigoted to call homosexuality a sin, similar to any other sin? Not if you believe in sin.
Is it bigoted to suggest that practicing homosexuality by all common sense accounts appears to be antithetical to evolutionary mechanisms? No.
Is it bigoted to want to protect traditional marriage from homosexual marriage? No, it's a matter of perspective and opinion.
Is it bigoted to suggest that all things being equal, a home with a loving biological mother and biological father is superior to a loving home with a biological mother/father homosexual couple?
No, it's a matter of opinion, and color me unconvinced that a bunch of psychologists with skin in the game pretend it is the same, or that children don't need both a mother and father in their lives.
Is it bigoted to point out the seedy subcultural, and dangerous aspects of a homosexual lifestyle? No, it's perfectly valid, even if uncomfortable to hear.
Is it bigoted to campaign and lobby your government to prevent the institutionalization of homosexuality in our schools? No, this is America.
Is it bigoted to say that homosexuality is a mostly chosen lifestyle? No, plenty of evidence to suggest it is, and no scientifically verifiable evidence that it is not. In short the jury is still out.
What is a bigot? A bigot is someone that holds a position of belief in spite of evidence of proof to the contrary.
So can we all just stop throwing out the rhetorical terms like bigot please?
A Facebook petition isn't worth the paper it's written on.
Depends on who you say it to....
Using your intuition to determine evolutionary mechanisms isn't bigoted, just ignorance.
History speaks for itself, it's not a matter of opinion. Marriage like we see in the last few hundred years is much different than it used to be. Your "tradition" has changed and it can survive other changes.
If allowing gays to marry somehow affects your marriage, you have issues in your marriage.....Furthermore, Churches are free to deny gays based on their dogma, but your church cannot block gays from societal or marriages in religions that accept gays....
I want you to picture the red "X" from Family Feud. Wrong again. I'd take the time to provide evidence to this fact if I thought, for one second that you could be convinced to the contrary....Instead I'll settle for just telling you're categorically wrong.
Yet another unqualified assertion.....The most important thing is that a child has parents that love them and nurture them. Two moms or two dad that love and care for their child, is better than 1 mom or 1 dad....Or a mom and a dad that are abusive or neglectful.
And heturosexuals don't have similar seedy subcultural lifestyles?
I'm not aware of "institutionalization" of homosexuallity in schools. Feel free to point out what your talking about.
What non-Christian sponsored, peer reviewed evidence do you have to offer to support this claim? (the sponser is less important than peer review).
Your walk'in a fine line.....
Sure, can you please offer evidence to the avalanche of assertions you just made?
How many of them clicked "like" because they were forwarded that image with an inaccurate quote that made it look like A&E was firing him for basically nothing?
Considering the intellect prowess of most of them, I certainly wouldn't underestimate the number.
First time I've ever heard the noun intellect used as a verb.
Ohh, the irony — the intellectual irony.
Intellect is being used as a noun in that sentence, not a verb.

I meant to say adjective.
1.4 million bible thumpers, bigots and rednecks showing their support for the hatred of gays. Why would anyone be surprised?

Dude was brave enough to share his own, harmless belief and everyone crucifies him for telling his truth. I guess everyone should just lie and pretend for the T.V about serious things that deserve the respect of sharing his truth honestly?
Intuition? How about we play, and you tell me of an evolutionary mechanism that would support a primarily homosexual method for admixing genes? Yeah thought so..
You must not have looked too hard- it was all over the morning major networks. I saw it on ABC's 'Good Morning America'....
