Their lives were threatened, just as gays are right now.
To be a pioneer in standing up for what you believe in is dangerous, and takes a brave person to do it.
Kinda like our forefathers. I wonder which ones that signed the declaration of Independence was gay.
That's where the brave thing comes in.
I know I'm only on page 3 or 4 here. So I'm not sure what direction this thread takes, but come on? Really?

"It wasn't easy for blacks to gain social acceptance in the same way now that gays are attempting to gain it."

You are comparing the social acceptance that blacks were trying to gain, with the social acceptance that gays are trying to attain? Dude, I've got news for you, "social acceptance" is not what gays want. They want us all to celebrate them, put them on a pedestal, and worship them, their courage, lifestyle choice and continually feed their need for acceptance and validation from "mainstream" America. And God forbid those who don't.. you'll pay. Be it blowback (no pun intended) on your business, facebook account.. whatever they can find. LGBT folks (for the most part) preach tolerance, but don't practice it. They want you to be accepting of THEIR lifestyle, but the minute you oppose it, or for example express an opinion supporting traditional marriage, all gloves are off. Hypocritical at best.

"Their lives were threatened, just as gays are right now."

Show me a gay person who's life has been threatened and I'll show you a gay person who has been actively parading their lifestyle around and shoving it down everyone's throat (again, no pun intended) Also... https://www.thenewamerican.com/cultu...e-sex-marriage

So basically, they are for everyone's right to free speech, except those that oppose them. Sounds about right.

"To be a pioneer in standing up for what you believe in is dangerous, and takes a brave person to do it."

Being a pioneer and standing up for what you believe in, doesn't mean being intolerant of everyone that disagrees with you. Or chooses not to pat you on the back for "such a brave choice"

"Kinda like our forefathers. I wonder which ones that signed the declaration of Independence was gay."

That's right. You HAVE to wonder, because they weren't in a rainbow and unicorn laden parade, demanding that all the taverns cater their gay wedding.. get my point?

My honest opinion is, I don't care if people are gay or not. Just like I don't care if people drink or do drugs. None of which are my cup of tea. But don't put it in my face and try to force me accept it, or be branded a bigot for not doing so.

I think that deep down the reason the homosexuals are begging for everyone's approval and blessing are that there is some part of them that knows it goes against the laws of nature and is wrong. This drives them to constantly seek external validation that what they are doing is ok.

But really. I have no opinion on the matter.

Additionally, the minute you talk about lifestyle "choices" is the minute you've branded yourself ignorant. No offense intended; I mean ignorant purely by the definition of the word.
I stand by my statements. I don't have a problem with people or their choices as long as I'm not held with a gun to my head and forced to accept them or be branded a bigot.

As for choices.. yeah, that stands.

I'm just amazed there are intelligent human beings that still believe heterosexuality is a choice.

The attraction isn't, but the activities certainly can be.

Many actresses and actors have had homosexual roles and are straight and homosexuals have had roles where they acted straight.

I would guess there are gays and lesbians still playing the part of straight people and doing ALL of the things straight people do even though they are hating it.

ALL? Absolutely not. I would even say that I personally don't think that MOST are a choice but in today's culture you can't tell me that you honestly believe that there is not a somewhat significant number who has chosen to be homo/bi/tri/whateversexual because it is the "cool" thing to do.

Further more, I find it amazing that intelligent human beings will argue "brainwashing" as the reason youths experiment with homo or bi-sexuality....and completely ignore the reality that parental and societal pressure on LGBT kids to be "normal' is, by an order of magnitude, a much more pervasive problem.

I blew Grimace behind a McDonalds dumpster years ago.
It was only the one time so I'm pretty sure I'm not the gay.

Veiling an insult is intellectual snobbery and dishonest. It only gains the contempt that it delivered.

There can be disagreement without insult, but even an honest insult will have more respect.

I try not to cherry-pick butthurt from someone's opinion. I do try to learn from those that have a more direct experience with the subject, as I have from LGBT folks I've known over the years. I learn by listening to understand, and that understanding has changed my opinion on the subject. Only the opinions of a closed mind are truly fixed.
