I feel personally that elicit displays of homosexual and homoerotic acts are extremely disgusting and offensive IE. simulated sexual acts, etc.
However, two men dancing, two men holding hands, two men kissing....that is all stuff that straight people get away with in public.
I look at this forum and see a single gay man, an overweight single woman, a single webmaster....do you notice a trend....I think the whole problem with you people, is you may think you understand your own interpretations of the Bible, however you cannot find love, and you are insanely jealous of those who have found love.
The webmaster is married so your are drawing conclusions based on ignorance. As to seeing a trend in being single, Jesus and Paul were single so I believe I have two models worth emulating.
As to it not being the 1600's anymore that is so true. Syphilis and other STD's, which were more common in aristocratic men have migrated to all classes.
Crystal, a company who had $23 billion in annual revenues in 1998 could handle a decline in sales of a mere $15 million without noticing it. So your appeal to profitability is ludicrous.
I wonder what Disney and Eisner would do if we promoted "Ex-Gay" days at Disney. I have a feeling we would be in court before the ink dried on the ads. Discrimination policies don't extend to people who disagree with gay activists.
Shrink, you have not commented on the article from the President of Hope. I am still waiting to hear your comments about this article
Homosexuals Opposed to Pride Extremism that exposes the truth of gay life.
As an openly gay male, I have no problem conceding that heterosexuality is and will always be the great human norm. But I have no time for the modern, feel-good, pop-culture mentality that facilely equates homosexuality with heterosexuality and asks no deep questions about human psychology beyond the the superficial liberal-vs-conservative, freedom-vs-oppression dichotomy. And I have even less time for the unsatiable demands and infantile caterwauling of my radical brothers and sisters who want to make the whole world their closet.
The gay "Christian" movement comprises less than .01% of the gay community so your push for recognition of gay parity in our culture is ludicrous and short-sighted.
Unfortunately, most people's sense of history begins the day they were born, which means all that precedes is outmoded and irrelevant and all that follows is enlightened and progressive. However, we cannot and must not ignore the lessons of history and natural law. Again and again, it has been shown that whenever humankind fails to protect time-honored political, moral and social institutions, whenever humankind attempts to embrace pride as a virtue and mainstream behavior that contravenes natural law, and whenever humankind becomes arrogant, autonomous, egalitarian, nihilistic and foolish, civilization fails - always and without exception. So, here we are repeating the cycle and getting ready to crash and burn one more time.
I have been saying this for years. I am not a fatalist but if I can see the "sign of the times" how is it a man with your education cannot?
You have a universalistic humanist view so since you refuse to discuss Scripture address this historical cycle with more than your opinions.
