[Gawain of Orkeny]

You see Odin this is how most people view this

I'd accept and respect them more if they'd behave like normal people and wouldn't force me to look at naked people I don't want to see... So what about my rights?

The more they want to force me to tolerate them, the more I will hate them and they cannot force me to change my mind. It's about winning peoples' hearts and minds, remember? They won't win my heart or mind in such an offensive way...

OK here we go

1. Behave like normal people? So when the jews have a parade in the "holy city" is that normal?

Being gay is not normal. How is being a jew not normal? Because most people are not jewish?

2. Who forced you? They didnt, the paper, news cast or message board you chose to view dispalyed this, thats your fault.

What if its on your block?

3. If you lived there Id make a concession on the your rights bit, that said I do believe this was challenged and the israli supreme court deemed the parade constitutional. Seems everyones rights were considered and upheld.

So again if NAMBLA wants a parade they should have one?

Homosexuality should be tolerated not encouraged. Its a deviant form of sex. No better or worse than beastiality in my book. In fact give me a sheep any day. At least they tell no tales :)

I´d state that believing what the bible and the old testament and the koran say isn´t normal....but hey...to each his own.
if people want to behave abnormaly they should be allowed to as long as they don´t hurt anybody else.

What if its on your block?

what about when I go to the beach and I see the 300 pound 50 year old lady that had the brilliant idea to wear a bikini(shudders)?
You think I want to see that?....
I think that´s discusting.....so should I be allowed to stop this lady from comming to the beach?

bestiality and the NAMBLA s are nothing like homosexuality.....
in homosexual relations both partners consent to what they are doing....no matter what me may think of that choice......if the sheep can say that she´s in love with you and wants to get it on I say go for it!...but I kinda doubt that´s the case.

Being Jewish isnt normal because its a choice, being homosexual inst a choice its a condition.

Well I live in a mansion so I dont have to see the street, but I get your point, however as much as I might not like it they still have the right and the excersise of that right gives them press, thus its value.

Similar to a KKK rally, its about the press Gawain, come on.

So again if NAMBLA wants a parade they should have one?

If the supreme court of the host country says they have the right, then yep, unless you prefer it be decided on a case by case basis by the local sherriff? Okay, we'll use the constitution for a paint by numbers then, hows rainbow sound?

When you make absolute statements like this, with terms like deviant, and comparisson to beastiality you reveal what reads like fear, or at a minimum a closed mind. However I am hetrosexual myself, I dont encourage homosexuality, I just dont go out of my way to belittle segements of the population.
