This is exactly what they meant when they said " Gay is the new black". Its the only group in America that you can openly denounce and express your dislike for, and people have to debate you as if its a respectable opinion and youre not just a biggot.
Except no one is forcing gay kids out of school or hunting down gay people, brutally murdering them and then leaving them in a ditch somewhere to rot. I admit the protests may be stupid but they risk the hate of everyone to stand with their beliefs just like gays do. Being gay is nothing like being black. The gays were never slaves or, as I said earlier, never lynched. It is much more civilized than that. So before you go shifting hate towards some group following their beliefs think twice and get your facts straight. I have respect for both gays and lesbians and I have respect for these people, both for standing up for what they believe in.
Not all Black hate crimes came from one group. Unless you count racists. Then all gay crimes come from homophobes. And ever heard of WB Baptist Church?
Gay is a choice, black isn't. And anyways, if men can marry one another, why can't a six year old and a forty year old who are in "love"? The only reason pedophiles are viewed differently is because there are less of them.
A 6 year old, or any child, is not able to give consent to a marriage based on knowledge of what is involved in such a relationship-they are just not able to make an informed choice about marriage. Pedophilia is a medical condition and the child is not a consenting partner. People who are gay, and chose to marriage, are not being forced into a relationship.
Let's just set some things straight. Pedophilia is not a medical condition, it is a sexual orientation just like homosexuality or heterosexuality. A pedophile is not the same as a child molesterer. Just like any relationship, you wouldn't want to do anything to hurt your partner; neither do most pedophiles. Finally, and most importantly, pedophilia is prevalent in the general population at an estimated level of 5-10%, whereas homosexuality only occurs in 0.5-1% of people. Pedophilia is therefore more common than homosexuality. I work with pedophiles on a daily basis and they are not terrible people. I actually feel sorry for many of them. Just imagine going your whole life not being able to express your sexuality. Many of them end up committing suicide unfortunately.
