You never said persecuted, you said it was the opposite of shame. 10 years ago I wouldn't make the point and I'm not calling for one but in recent years straights get bashed more frequently than gays in the mainstream. Straight white Christian males, I've heard in particular.

Besides, I'm getting tired of the okay for me and not for thee attitude. As you state, it's about not being ashamed, so pride parades for eternity, regardless of living in a post persecuted world?

But I know, all that's just straight fragilityyyyyyyyyy right :)

Maybe but there's many black Americans that openly bash gays, especially in rap (although that might have cooled down idk) and while some Christians definitely are hard against them, I'd say most either don't care or disapprove but still treat them with respect. Having said that, black Americans are only 13% of the population and Muslims, who alot also are not a fan of them, are an even smaller group so you could very well be right about SCM's being the most common doing it. Having said that mouthful, it seems only WSCM's get the backlash, that I've seen.

You could say that about every group tho. There are laws that legally discriminate against whites and Asians, affirmative action for higher education. Both Asians and whites are under represented in universities and college, despite having the top average sat scores, with a few possible exceptions, Jews being possibly one although they are WAY over represented for being 2% of the population.

Regardless, that's the only systematic racism I see. Then you have hiring practices that favor minorities, women and LBGT over straight white males, so I would disagree that only the LTBG community are discriminated against. London police: No SWM need apply. CBC news in Canada (Like the BBC as a national broadcaster funded by the government) : No SWM need apply. Openly announcing it as a hiring practice. I'm sure there's more but I'm blanking. At least an Asian group is suing Harvard for discrimination.

I'm a prot but still consider anyone that worships Christ my brother and sister in Christ. Even a agnostic that doesn't like organized religion but loves Christ. Hopefully you can respect that.

So what? Did you not read my previous posts? John is a Saint. Perhaps the best of them all, since he baptised Jesus Christ. Now drop this and move on already.

We Catholics do not worship Mary. We pray to Her, just like we pray to all Saints, but we worship God.

'But still why pray to them'

Because they are Saints, and to pray to them is to respect them. All Saints are Saints of something. For example, Saint John is the Saint of builders and Baptism, and Saint John in the Saint of Popes. If you are a builder, you may pray to Saint John. All Catholics pray to God, Mary and probably some of the Saints.

Depends on what you consider hell. A firey place with demons poking you in the ass with tridents? No. A space devoid of the presence of God? Sure.

There is no hell. If you believe that, you must agree that God isn't a loving God. God would not let satan, who he will eventually destroy, torture his children forever after giving them free will. Islam also has no miracles and zero prophecy. It's no different than Mormonism or Scientology.

Yes but true Christianity has been persecuted by every religion. Also the bible has made many predictions that have come to pass. Also the Vikings arguably the fiercest warriors of all time turned from their pagan ways and followed Jesus. And explain to me why so many have been willing to die for his name. More than any other religions group

No because I'm truly convinced that Jesus is correct. Sadly I am a disgrace to his name because if my sins. However I can not take on the name of his enemies. Christ has been revealed on the hearts of many men. If you're interested please look up c.s. Lewis or Michael Hieser

Following that twisted logic, that means it's okay for gay people to 'get revenge' on straight people. Just like how feminist women are 'getting revenge' on men, and black feminists are 'getting revenge' on white people today. Straight people are being persecuted by feminists today. That is not okay. Revenge is not okay if what people are avenging happened thousands of years ago.

It's good that gay people are being persecuted. All gay partnerships should be illegal. They need to know that they are not wanted and do not belong. People need to stop shoving gay marriage in people's faces (especially children). Unfortunately, even children's shows like Arthur feature gay characters. It's disgusting.

Also I just found out O_M owns guns so that makes him cool in my book.
Octavia, people like Toby are the reason people like you think people like me are like him. We're not all. Most of us believe that Jesus taught us to love and respect our neighbor. He didn't say "Unless they're gay".

I am not 'trolling'

It is clear we have differing opinions here. You call my side of the argument 'stupid' and bigoted', and those who agree with you 'good', 'decent' and 'accepting'. I believe it is the other way round, but it is clear you will not change your mind about this. Why even bother? You're hopeless.

Every. Single. One.

FFS Beyond that, the local Pride organizers (in a city of 60K) circulated a Facebook Message indicating that they'd have people Posted with Narcan, to help with anticipated ODs at the upcoming event this weekend... I know small towns can boring... but how about telling attendees not to get f**ked up in Public in the first place?
