That WAS a gay event, not a lifestyle.

You're welcome - follow his advice.

Ditto. Have you ever disciplined your children?

Get your head out of the sand, Tal.

I don't talk about my children on anonymous discussion boards plus the question is irrelevant and creepy.

[talaniman]

The link you provided said it was an event. They don't do that every day, not even in Amarillo, do they? I doubt that every gay person does that every day, even at an event. I am willing to bet, a minority of gay people even turn out for an event such as this. I think a few scares/disgusts you enough to think that's what all gay people do even though you acknowledge that some don't. I say a majority don't not even during a specific event.

OK, but the point is entirely relevant. I don't have to approve of their lifestyle to love them.

Dude, let me explain my own views, I don't need your help. I didn't stutter, and I don't have my head in the sand as you do.

[talaniman]

Don't get sensitive and defensive, I was explaining MY views not yours. If that's okay with you!

[speechlesstx]

I'm all for you expressing your views, but when they regard my views I will correct you.

I think a few scares/disgusts you enough to think that's what all gay people do

Nope, I was clear.

[talaniman]

That was my view of you, if I am wrong you tell me why an event represents all the gays in your view. If not, why even present that example of a gay lifestyle since its NOT. Not in my view that I expressed.

What the???? Dude, you're doing it again. What part of "I'd agree that most gays live quite, peaceable lives" equals the Folsom Street Fair "represents all the gays" in my view? Is it that damned hard to get you libs to recognize an area of agreement, or are you just hell-bent on portraying us as clueless radical haters?

If not, why even present that example of a gay lifestyle since its NOT. Not in my view that I expressed.

It may not be THE gay lifestyle but it most certainly is A gay lifestyle. But again, I'm not just making sh*t up, I know much more than I really ever wanted to know and surely you can't believe events such as that "fair" are good for society. In fact, that's one of those things those congressional Dems could criticize as being a bad example for young people instead of one actress on a TV show puffing a fake cigarette.

Many christians choose a lifestyle that includes fornication, sodomy, greed, hateful attitudes, lust, etc. Should we post about them as well?

As if you don't already, as in this post?

[NeedKarma]

Well the hateful attitudes are indeed displayed in this forum. Want me to find examples of aberrant lifestyles by them elsewhere?

[speechlesstx]

Christian bashing is already a sport, why do you people think your preferred groups should get a pass? I know of no Christians openly displaying their perverted behavior in a street celebration, do you? As for the hate part you really should learn to distinguish between disapproving of behavior and hating the person, that was my point about your children. I doubt you stop loving them if they do something that disappoints you.

I don't know how this became a discussion on Christians, for the record Karma such people are not following a Christian life style and if you have observed lately there seems to be a backlash in some countries against a gay lifestyle, not everyone agrees that people should just do whatever takes their fancy.

There is more to Christianity than just a belief in Christ, it should bring about change

[NeedKarma]

why do you people think your preferred groups should get a pass

That's my exact point.

Cheers,

Show me a non-christian that has posted their dislike for gays.

I don't presume to know the disposition of everyone here in regard to spiritual beliefs, nor do I presume to know their opinion regarding gay life style and you should learn to seperate opinions regarding life style from opinions regarding people. I don't happen to be in favour of the life style of murderers, pedophiles, prostitutes, pimps and theives either

[speechlesstx]

Its partly why Alec Baldwin got fired from MSNBC, hating on gays. But it's much more acceptable to be a liberal homophobe.
