Not unless they believed Obama was sincerely opposed to same-sex marriage, and voted for him specifically for that reason.
that's a fair point. they could have been supporting a liar rather than a bigot.
I guess billions of people have been misguided for thousands of years. :shrug:

Your version of Jesus Christ/God certainly are. On the other hand, the Jesus of the New Testament was a pretty chill dude. He certainly never shared your obsession with gay buttsex.
That is your opinion and to be honest no one knows for sure if that is true or not,,,,,,,,
We do have many cases where people who were gay and changed and are now in marriages and having children so it makes one wonder.........
Let me understand you, you would argue that God favors a man laying with another man......Do you know where the word sodomy came from and do you know why God destroyed Sodom?

while I agree one simply "saying they dont agree" doesnt make them bigots id like to know where do you get 75% from? the majority support equal gay rights
Perhaps. I don't know them and neither wrote the Bible, so it's hard to say for certain.I guess in your mind then Jesus Christ/God are homophobes.
"Homophobe" is a created and non-psychiatric slur meant to label someone as "afraird," when in reality the slurrer does not know if the person is or not.
Non-sequitur.
No. I'm pointing out the logical fallacy American used, in which he assumed that just because lots of people believed something for a long time made it true.
I never discussed his conclusion.
No.
It's the opinion of psychologists, sociologists, pediatricians.
Pediatricians can identify homosexual traits in toddlers.
Again.
No.
There have been no legitimately documented cases of homosexuality being 'prayed' away.
You have self-loathing gays and homosexuals trying to pretend they're heterosexual and living miserable lives.
what an interesting claim. can you point to a single state where, when put before the people, they have supported redefining marriage to include homosexual relationships?
Yes, I think the stance against gay marriage stems from a tradition of bigotry. I don't mean that as a personal attack on those who oppose it, but I think they're misguided. However, there's no denying that the defense of "traditional marriage" is an exclusionary political stance targeting a small subset of the population.
Nice try but it won't wash, there are just as many experts who say they are not born that way and how do you explain the thousands who hve changed...........are you calling them all liars?
I'm sorry, but this is settled science. We can predict homosexuality fairly accurately in children by observing certain physical trends. We know that the odds of homosexuality change according to birth order. We've even figured out what conditions in utero tend to lead to a person becoming homosexual.
In terms of "conversion" therapy, many participants are either bisexual or straight, which makes their results invalid. Of the remaining people who actually are gay, the majority of them go back to being gay within a couple of years. The few who don't tend to suffer psychiatric problems.
Being gay is not a choice. This is settled. The only choice here is you choosing not to accept reality.
Not necessarily. I prefer traditional marriage too -- for myself.
But the moment you start telling other people how they are supposed to live, even support discrimination against them, then it is bigotry.
And that's the question. If the oppose equality for homosexuals, that is different than what the prefer for themselves.
Thank you and I am saying that 75% of the people in this country support traditional marriage and although some may be homophobes or bigots the huge majority are not...I have been called a bigot or a homophobe by the left in DP many times because of my beliefs........Well I am neither............
The same old cop out.......Like I said there are experts on both sides of the issue and no one knows for sure...Like a typical liberal you say your right, as a Conservative I don't know but there are documented cases of people who were gay their whole life changing.....
Right, because you labeled it a fallacy to imply that it was accurate?
Gotcha. Just because you learned about fallacies this week in your word of the day app,
doesn't mean you know how to use them.
Let me understand you, you would argue that God favors a man laying with another man......Do you know where the word sodomy came from and do you know why God destroyed Sodom?
