First Openly Gay Athlete (in a major sport)

Let's pretend that being gay is a choice. Why would someone choose to be gay? Why would someone choose to be ridiculed and ostracized? Or beaten and sometimes killed?

jfc.  homosexuals live great lives.

Maybe in the last 20 years. The previous several hundred, not so much.

Also, it isn't great for them everywhere.

[michigancat]

There is a palpable desperation to PW's professed belief in the bible's legitimacy.  That kind of hyperbole speaks volumes.   

Are you implying that no one on this site treats their views on atheism similarly?

yeah, but it's based on science instead of the Bible. And such a person still probably isn't as fervent and closed-minded as PW.

Just like belief in God, belief in atheism still has to make a leap of faith at some point, because not every question has been answered. There are lots of people that desperately reach to make jokes about how much they don't believe in God, much like PW desperately tries to act like some attention seeking moral philosopher in an attempt to show "how strong" his belief in God is.

ok.

well, we're talking about places i've lived.

[puniraptor]

pw, muffin: Have you ever had any family members or close friends that are gay?

[Institutional Control]

well, now is now, not several hundred years ago.

Oh yeah, I forgot gays didn't exist until now.

[Cire]

What if the bible meant that men shouldn't lay with men unless they were married but they left that out because they assumed people in the future would understand that good loves good people and wouldn't punish people who love each other?

I don't think it's great for that poor emaw homosexual in fun muffin's video. I guess it COULD be if he didn't care what his friends and family thought if him. But he does so it isn't.

[michigancat]

Also, fun muffin may have the gayest username on the board, which I think is great.

Yeah, it's ironic like pigfuuker.

he'd still have the same dumbass friends and family if he wasn't gay (didn't watch the vid, but based on the comments of people in this thread).

Great link and many takeaways

-The tag line of that site is awesome "Conservative values for an unsaved world"
-Whomever marries Antoine gets what they deserve.
-If being gay is a choice why do you need to be "cured?" You don't cure choices.
-Cadence Appleton appears to be quite the repressed vamp. Love the pic at the bottom of the article. Seems as if she's waiting for a wackycat type to turn her out.

It's satirical

The site is satirical, but Antoine really did decide he didn't want to be gay any more.

I think his point is that people don't get beaten and murdered just because they're hetero. No one has to come out of the straight closet.

Yes, and his quotes in your second article were golden. 'Toine also looks as if he's put on a few lbs.

i think his point is that no one would choose to be gay, because the poor, stricken souls that have to live that horrible lifestyle suffer through their empty conflicted lives in ways that no sane person would choose.

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

I've never seen intolerance to the degree I am seeing right now with the all out assault on a couple of peoples' belief that homosexuality is immoral.  JFC, everyone is entitled to their own moral code.  They aren't hitting up rest stops with lead pipes and chains.

No wonder the gays have such a hard time, the straights pushing hardest for them are insufferable assholes without brains.  You know how gay people can get equal rights?  Stop trying to rough ridin' force everyone to say being gay is okay, by law, relentless verbal abuse or otherwise.  Take the goddamn civil union, get over the rough ridin' semantics and stfu.  If the gay rights people are the "bigger people", as they say they are, they sure as crap aren't acting like it.

You could replace gay with n***** and that could have come straight off of an sec message board.

And FSD enters the conversation with the be tolerant of others right to be intolerant talking point. Classic.
