Re: Government speaking about Gays

You've made a vague statement about a person you can't name on a channel you can't name about a topic you can't name...

How the heck am I supposed to comment?

I'm sure yesterday someone somewhere said that Hitler was right and the Holocaust never happened, that peanutbutter is disgusting and that chocolate ice cream is a superior flavor to vanilla.

While all three statements ruffle by feathers: I'm not inclined to feel that I need to comment on them unless they're made by someone the world looks up to and doesn't already think is an idiot (ie. Fred Phelps or his twitchy wife... which is probably where this silliness is coming from).

And actually... all societies that have embraced/accepted/exaulted homosexuality haven't been destroyed. Japan and Greece both seem to have done just fine. I can name plenty of heterosexual societies that didn't make the cut either :/

Seeing as blatant homophobia is primarily a Biblical construct and the people following the Abrahamic God have more or less taken over the entire world and said "convert or eat lead!" I don't find it surprising that homosexuality isn't as "popular" as it once was :P The prospect of being hanged for being caught in bed with the same gender is a bit of a deal-breaker, isn't it?
