How To Deal With Homophobes

We've heard it all before. It's irrelevant. They are stupid people. It doesn't belong in the Thaivisa gay forum because it has nothing to do with either gays or Thailand. Fred Phelps needs the insertion of a digit up his fundament. Then he needs to be fuc_ked seneless.

I Laughed , I Cried , I did my nails ......

He was kind of a butch sexy Daddy type and he did give him a look.

Sad circumstances, but humourous clip.

A response as absent of logic and relevance as the homophobes' themselves. You must be proud of yourself.

Watched a documentary about the Phelps family recently. Believe it was entitled "The Most Hated Family In America" These guys really are full of anger and hate.

I am. Frequently.

I myself am not "Gay".

However, It matters not the slightest to me if any one else is.

The people with the placards are ignorant idiots.

It is sad to me being an American Citizen to see the ignorant intolerance prevalent in the USA.

Relax, it's only in a few ultra-conservative pockets of the mid-west where this sort of thing goes on. Every country in the world has crazies like these. Don't brand the whole country with your depressing judgment of "prevalent."

In my western USA city, a church like that would have been hounded out of existence or gone underground by pressure from the general populace.

[PeaceBlondie]

Agreeing with toptuan here: Fred Phelps is the lunatic fringe. Homophobia may be decreasing. Today's news on Yahoo http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090806/ap_on_...chologists_gays reports that the American Psychological Association - the professionals - reported that 'gay conversion ministries' such as Exodus are failures. It recommends that gay believers find a more accepting denomination. Even conservative denominations like Mennonite have 'pink' groups.

Yet here in Thailand, most English language churches are Catholic or Evangelical, and disapproving of gays.

Louis Theroux did an exposé on that family which is on Youtube.

Worth a quick look.

I however, live in the midwest.

After viewing the second video. I agree that this particular church is the lunatic fringe.

Why dont you gay people accept that there is no where near the problem than what it was like 20 years ago.

You are no different than fat people,midgets,very tall people,badly scarred men and women etc etc.You are not the norm and some idiots will have a dig at you,like i would be, if i lived in a totaly black area.

Get on with your life and hetros will get on with their lives and never the twain shall meet unless you are bi

The twain leaves on the hour, every day. We're all on it, in the same human race. Yes, gay sex is no longer a crime in most of the civilized wotld, except for the US military..

wow a super mod taking the piss again,whats the world coming to.Maybe gay sex shouldnt be allowed in the army,what about the navy

[JUDAS]

Actually,to be totally correct it's not gay sex that's not allowed in the US military but sodomy, regardless of gender, though I'm sure this is just a sneaky way of appearing unbiased while actually directed at homosexuals.

I don't think either is true.

What is not allowed in the US military presently are homosexual people who are found out to be homosexual regardless of sex acts. Don't ask, don't tell. If the soldier tells or it is found out, they are kicked out. Speaking I am gay is NOT a sex act.

You may well be right Jingthing as my source was a 2004 article : http://www.glapn.org/sodomylaws/usa/military/milnews042.htm

[PeaceBlondie]

From the cited article: "SLDN noted that the decision has no impact on the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” ban on lesbian, gay and bisexual service members."

AFAIK, it is still grounds for discharge from the US military to say "I am gay."
