Your stupidity amazes me. Everything I said, was more of an opinion, none of it was ever claimed to be factual. I hate how entitled religious people act sometimes. Grow up and realize that you can't always be right. Didn't your mommy or daddy teach you that? Haha sorry, just annoys me when people are just too stupid to handle.

Also the first hint to how we all knew it was plagiarized was the fact that you almost typed 11,000 characters in like 10 minutes LOL.

Also, Clinton talk? Really? Dude you're like 12 stop trying to sound mature by using references that aren't even ****ing relevant to the conversation.

Maybe all those homophobes out there just don't understand how someone can be so much different from them. Maybe if those people had a better grasp on it they wouldn't feel the way they do? A good thing to compare this to would have to be Science, you probably don't really find Science very interesting, but you also don't understand it very well, but on the opposite side there's Scientists out there who find it extraordinary, and study it for a profession, do you think they like it because they understand it? Maybe, or it could just be their mindset. We all live off our mindsets, they define us as people. Some of our mindsets may clash with others, but we can't help ours. So why think harshly of someone for their mindset? How can they help it?

Well said.

Homophobia would be an irrational fear or hatred of homosexuals, if it really existed. The current usage of terms like "homophobic" and "homophobe" imply that all opposition to homosexuality is crazy. Actually there are many sociological, psychological and medical reasons that many logically-thinking people oppose homosexuality. People who abuse terms like "homophobia" are implying (whether they know it or not), that it's impossible to "love the sinner and hate the sin". No one talks about opposition to alcoholism in terms of hatred, because groups like Alcoholics Anonymous have popularized the view that drinking alcohol is addictive. The term homophobia, when it is applied to every criticism of homosexuality, implies that all such criticism is irrational.

Commenting on its psychological use, WorldNetDaily managing editor David Kupelian states, "This is how the "marketers of evil" work on all of us. They transform our attitudes by making us feel as though our "super uncomfortable" feelings toward embracing unnatural or corrupt behavior of whatever sort – a discomfort literally put into us by a loving God, for our protection – somehow represent ignorance or bigotry or weakness."

Homophobia is an etymologically incorrect term which most directly denotes "an unreasoning fear of or antipathy toward homosexuals and homosexuality", but it also includes a fear of increased political and social power of homosexuals in advancing their agenda. The term is used regularly by activists to describe several kinds of people, which may or may not match the actual definition of "fear of homosexuals and homosexuality". The recipients of the homophobia label include those who feel uncomfortable around homosexuals, those who reveal that they oppose "gays," and even those who may privately support homosexuality but who fail to publicly support homosexuals when called upon to do so. Conservative Christians and other people who strongly object to homosexuality often take offense at this term, which had led to the use of the term heterophobia to describe those who manifest an antipathy to those who uphold heterosexuality as normative or exclusively valid. While the term phobia is an irrational fear of something, nobody is afraid of homosexuals, and nobody fears contracting homosexuality. That is in contrast to heterophobia, whose existence has been documented.

VIOLENCE against gays, however, is something that I despise. You can respect or disrespect who ever the hell you want, but if you have to hurt them, that is completely immoral, incorrect, and wrong. In 1990, Congress passed the Hate Crime Statistics Act, which required the Attorney General to collect data about crimes that manifest evidence of prejudice based on race, religion, sexual orientation, or ethnicity/national origin. In 1994, lawmakers amended the Hate Crime Statistics Act to include bias against persons with disabilities.

There are many arguments against homosexuality based on religious grounds and on its effects on society which include such matters as the negative health effects of homosexuality and that homosexual couples experience significant higher rates of domestic violence.

In 2003, the Pew Research Center stated that in the United States, religious beliefs underpin opposition to homosexuality according to a study they conducted. Judeo-Christian objections nearly always refer to what the Bible states about homosexuality, which, it is argued, condemns homosexual acts in both Old and New Testaments. For example, Leviticus 18:22 says; "A man shall not lie with man as with a woman, it is abomination". Romans 1:26-28: "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;"

Some liberals argue that historically, condemnation of those sexual acts was simply based on them being unnatural to procreation, and thus contrary to (a definition of) unnatural, inferring that such condemnation is invalid due to ignorance of sexuality.

However, as seen in dealing with Homosexuality and biblical interpretation, the union of man and women in marriage is based upon them being created as uniquely compatible and and complementary, and the sanction of sexual union (via marriage) as only between opposite genders extends beyond procreation, with romantic sexual attraction between married couples being honored outside the context of children in such books as the Song of Solomon, and with marital sexual relations being enjoined in 1 Cor. 7:5 on the basis of heterosexual desire.

Motive can be a moral factor in who to marry among lawful partners, and within marriage, but is never a determinate factor in the Scriptural prohibitions of illicit partners, from fornication between heterosexuals to adultery to homosexual unions to bestiality, while grace is offered for salvation to all who will come to faith in Christ with a repentant heart.

"For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline." -2 Timothy 1:7

Enough already, my hand is going to fall off if I type one more word.

There will be bullies everywhere you go, best thing to do is ignore them and report.
I know it's especially hard to ignore someone being homophobic because it's part of who you are. (Talking in general) You fight back because you simply cannot change yourself just because someone desires you to be something you're not.

Why do we fight? Because we cannot agree upon things. Because of ignorance. Stupidity. Too many things to list.

Do people not realize? So many people are kicked out of their homes, by their own family, abused, ignored, avoided, killed.
There's been too many cases of deaths in these past few months of 2015. Check the news, you'll see. Even when the child of a family member suicided, the parents still used the pronouns "he" in a news
letter when this teen identified as female.

Do people not realize this? Or are they just sick to the brain?

People are people, don't force them into something they're not.

I'm honestly tired of it too. But this is the Internet and the most we can do is block them. It's sad people can't respect other people...It's sickening.

Dude... "Never look down on someone unless your helping them up" meaning, never assume you know someones situation. Child abuse is more common then you think especially for adopted folks... What you said was quite close minded.

Preach man. I thought I had pretty bad parents when I was younger because they were very strict with grades and would punish me if I didn't do well. When I was younger school was a lot harder for me. What they did wasn't for fun, it was to shape me. I look back feel very thankful that my parents did that, because it helped me out to be where I am now. But some parents go into another level which I feel where Froz's parent's are at. That's a bit overboard and not the right way to handle things. None the less we should return back to topic.

Yea, My parents dont abuse except they do kick me out of the house for days and other stuff that is mental abuse but never physical abuse. And our old subject was just a flame war. Basically if you can't accept someone for who they are then there may be something holding you from accepting yourself

Hope I don't get an infraction for that.

I support the LGBT community. They've always been treated like dirt in the U.S., Europe, and many other parts of the continents. Now that they have been given equal rights, I feel a little bit happier for them. They're still treated like dirt, but at least they have rights.

---

I don't know about the U.S but now these people aren't treated like dirt anymore in France at least. I have some friends who are part of the LGBT, and who lives happily now.

idk guys but I feel like plagiarism is illegal idk though could just be a hunch

Personally, i am fine with gay people. they can do what they want. only issue i have is gays adopting. the children of those families get messed up and make up a lot of the suicidal population. also gay marriage is wrong. have a civil marriage but get out of the church. that doesn't mean i hate gay people, just saying what they do and why some people could have a grudge against them. When gays protest for gay marriage and treat heterosexuals like the enemy, that's when conflict arises.

I've gone to Canada before, and the stereotypes were not fake. Everyone is literally nice all the time.

Please note before you comment!

this is my opinion, constructive criticism please.

I'm sooo mad right now, so I just got banned for vulgarity, earlier today I told an LBGT person I don't like gays, because I don't, they make me feel uncomfortable because my best friend was gay, and he liked me and asked me to do sexual stuff with him, and it made me feel uncomfortable and weird in a bad way, (note this doesn't mean I hate gays, I don't like or hate em.)

Now an admin over heard the conversation and told me I need to grow up because I don't like someone who has a different sexual preference, which is DUMB, I told him to respect my opinion and leave me alone, I changed my status to "Admins being disrespectful cause of my opinion towards gays."

So I was at start and this girl named Danny who's trying way to hard to be PR (Shield, in status and in name and telling people #DANNY4PR)

Messaged me "So your a homophobic?"

I told her no I'm not, I just don't like gays, so she told me I was and that's the technical term
now homophobic means fearing gays or hating them, and as I said I don't hate them.

She was talking like she was right, so we were arguing via PM, and I started swearing, she started swearing, so she went and told an admin cause oh little poor ol' wanna be pr reports all players who are doing wrong :)


So I get jailed, now I'm writing on era go, putting my frustration into words.


Bottom line, is I'm getting crap for my opinions towards gays and getting messages from admins and players that I'm the bad guy? or whatever :/ it's stupid, tell me your thoughts on this, this is a rant, xD that's all
