I really wanted those extremist homophobic nuts to get sent to hospital and for the doctor to tell them "oh I'm sorry, we only operate on gay people here" Fuckwits who think they can speak for all Christians...
mind you, the comments section had a good representation of people pointing out that as christians, they didn't want anything to do with the homophobia, and saw no reason not to get along with everyone, which was most uplifting.
Most Christians try to be nice and tolerent and no use the bible as a shield for their own predjuices. Same way most muslims are good and decent people and don't suport blowing shit up.
I'm finding one of them quite unintentionally amusing though, and I quote :
"The position of the religious groups seems the height of hypocrasy. How would they like it if someone refused them services because they were Christian, Jewish or Muslim? They would be the first to complain, and yet they seems to think that they have some god given right to discriminate against others." [emphasis added]
Umm. Well, yes...yes they do. That's rather the point.
do these people really thing they will get published on the BBC?
"I haven't seen a single reference to AIDS in all the comments on this subject. Have we really forgotten homosexual practices were, and still are, the main means by which this killer disease is spread? And as for the argument, "gay's don't choose to be that way"; neither do psychopaths."
Another:
"My father had two friends (dead of AIDS) who were fudge packers. In nearly all situations they would claim homophobia! for anything that happened to them. The reason was they wanted to be accepted or respected instead of just tolerated."
Another:
"Gay people should be discriminated against. What they do is wrong. It has been considered wrong for thousands of years and one decade of open gay aggression against the general population should not force everyone else to change their religious and moral beliefs about homosexuality. It is ridiculous that the mainstream population is allowing this to happen. I suppose next there will be a movement for equal rights for paedophiles and other sexual deviants."
