Gay bashing versus christian bashing

Only if they keep there mouths shut and don't "act" gay, than possibly.

I can attest to this personally. On my first ship as a young Petty Officer Second Class, a new guy checked on board my ship and into my division. He was very eccentric (wore bright colored shirts, highlighted his hair, etc) though not overtly gay. He also seemed to be a very intelligent and emotionally well rounded person. However within a couple months of being onboard during deployment he had already started receiving death threats from several other sailors on board. I befriended him and most of the sailors in our division liked him. However, I had an inkling he was gay just because of his idiosyncrasies and the background he divulged to me (though he never came right out and told me he was gay).One night, he came to me and told me he wanted to jump over board and kill himself due to the constant barrage of death threats he was getting. Needless to say, myself and a fellow shipmate had to get him off the ship pretty quickly to prevent a senseless death. He left the Navy shortly thereafter.The point of this story is that because people perceived him as gay he was in danger for his life even though he never solicited himself or even overtly acted gay. I am sure this is not an isolated incident but happens over and over.Edited by DevilsAdvocate, : No reason given.

What is legal torture? So if it is legal why would you step in and help?Showing your true colors, huh. I have a hard time imagining based on your previous rants that you would jump in and help. LOL, you haven't changed a bit. What are you, 12? Sometimes Fosdick, I think you truly are a child.You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting.Edited by DevilsAdvocate, : No reason given.Edited by DevilsAdvocate, : No reason given.

Why is homosexual marriage any different then heterosexual marriage, besides one currently being legalized and one not (at least not federally). I guess I am not up to snuff on this?And how is homosexuality any more related to polygamy, incest and beastiality than heterosexuality?
