The Lady Dost Protest Too Much
Rat, I just took a precussory glance through your post history and see that you've been making this same complaint for 3 years.
This is from your OP on the thread "I want one good reason that being gay is ok"
Now before any of you think that I am gay bashing, I will tell you that I do not hate gay people, or dislike them for being gay. I have many gay friends and relatives. I accept them the way they are.
I just do not agree with the act of being gay. Its the act I do not think is ok not the person doing it.
Setting aside the fact that the subject line on the thread is offensive in and of itself, this post (and others you've made for 3 years) shows that despite what you say you hold a deep bias against homosexuals.
Replace the word "gay" with "black" and you'll see what I mean.
"I don't not hate black people. I just disagree with their being black."
People have been explaining to you for 3 years that homosexuality is not a choice. People are born gay, like they are born short or born black. Your arbitrary dislike of this status IS bigotry.
Actually, given the 3 year length of your misunderstanding, and given the history of other anti-gay protestors, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you've had no less than 4 homosexual encounters over those three year.
Why else would this issue STILL be such a thorn in your side.
BTW, if you truly don't hate gay people, you really shouldn't be offended by the fact that I just puzzled out your secret.

Re: The Lady Dost Protest Too Much
It would make no sense for me to not understand why people are homosexual, and be one myself.
Open you eyes. The VAST majority of anti-gay pundits are themselves homosexual. It's become a cliche. Haggard is just the most famous recent example. Oh, wait, he's not gay, right? He just had gay sex. Now that's he's prayed about it, he's "cured".
As for the idea that you are somehow not a bigot because you don't "like gay people", you are grossly misunderstanding even your own position.
Perhaps this will clarify:
I know that BLACK people are born BLACK. But, I don't like BLACK people because they have used their BLACKNESS against me in the past. I am not a bigot just because I don't like BLACK people. If they would just stop being BLACK we wouldn't have a problem.
[ qs] I was born disliking the act of homosexual sex.[/qs]
Here's another gross misunderstanding on your part.
No one is asking you to like homosexual sex. I, too, was born disliking the idea of homosexual sex - hence I don't engage in it. But then again, I was born disliking peas, and I don't eat them.
It's not a problem for you to not want to participate in homosexual sex (though the 4 year span of your argument seriously makes us think that you in fact do want to).
The problem is when you impose that desire on other people..
It's not wrong for me to not eat peas. It is wrong for me to ammend the Constitution to prevent others from eatting peas.
Further, it's RIDICULOUS for me to claim that some passage in a 2000 year old book justifies my desire to prevent others from eatting peas.

Re: On personal attacks against me, and off-topic replies
Good point Percy, didn't see this until after my more recent reply to Rat
