Gay Atheist. 7 years, 7 months agoIt very well could be the case. There have been no shortage of homophobic crusaders spitting out vile word vomit against LGTB, and then getting caught having gay sex…in a bathroom, in their own political office, via Grindr, in hotels under false names, with masseuses and escorts, and lets not forget the religious leaders who are a…[Read more]

” think that, living in a homophobic country and culture, that someone like Jason Jones should be commended for his courage and fortitude. I know nothing else about him, but can’t help but admire this part of him, that he takes action in a big and public way, against culture persecution, to bring about change. How wonderful to s…[Read more]

Gay Atheist. 7 years, 7 months agoI’m straight but a cousin I grew up with, having tried straight marriage, realized he was gay. In the late 1980s, not having ended his marriage, he died of AIDS and his wife inherited.
In San Francisco, gay men I knew responded to xian Jerry Falwell’s persistent attacks by saying his attacks enabled him to deny his own homosexualty. Ditto for the…[Read more] -

Gay Atheist. 7 years, 7 months agoYes. A fitting quote. The cause of all pointless human suffering, is one one group of people dehumanise others. Making some people less than others. Usually the most vulnerable. Almost always by the most powerful.
Religion usually excels at the dehumanisation game. Most especially abrahamic religions (Christianity, Islam, Judaism).…[Read more]

Gay Atheist. 7 years, 9 months agoHey, I have a question for the group – are there any arguments against equal rights and respect for gay people that aren’t religious? (IMHO saying it’s “unnatural” doesn’t count, because if it were actually unnatural there wouldn’t be any of us right here smack in the middle of nature.)
OK, two questions – why aren’t fundamentalist religionists…[Read more]

There are no rational arguments of course but humans are not generally rational. Gays are different than the majority and minority groups have always been oppressed. Religion came along and simply provides the pseudo rationality to justify the oppression.
-
You’re right, rationality isn’t very relevant to people for whom the only part of an argument that matters is the conclusion they want. I love Stephen Fry’s comment:
“It’s the strangest thing about this church – it is obsessed with sex, absolutely obsessed. Now, they will say we, with our permissive society and rude jokes, are obsessed. No. We hav…[Read more]

There is the (pretty weak, imo) argument that anal sex has a higher risk of spreading disease.
There’s also the argument that if gay men are repressed, they are more likely to have children and pass on their (higher average intelligence) genes.
All in all, pretty weak arguments when put against equal/human rights.
-
That second one’s a doozy; never heard it before.

It’s one of the reasons Milo Yiannopolis is opposed to same-sex marriage despite being gay himself.

He’s a legend in his own mind.

Gay Atheist. 7 years, 9 months agoHi Quincy, welcome back. I have heard this book talked about recently at atheist meetings. I can’t seem to embed the link so copy and paste it if interested.
