1. I'm gay. My religion is fine with it. Religious views are a poor excuse to discriminate - on any level.
2. Gee, thanks. Your attitude and disdain are more than enough to perpetuate the hate machine, though.
3. That doesn't make your position any stronger than ours. Just an uninformed, and incorrect, one.
4. We're not telling you that you "have to" do anything. We're saying that, just as you have your right to an ignorant viewpoint, we have the right to call you out on it. Surely the same rules should apply? Go see
my previous post. You do not "own" the right to feel victimised for your views on this matter. Your views are the "oppressive" ones.
5. Funny you mention Hitler, because what you're doing is like Hitler going "Gosh guys, this is just what I believe, stop oppressing my views!". Incidentally, Hitler hated the gays too. See how easy it is to
use Hitler as a pathetically weak argument tool?
6. See point number 4. Stop playing victim. Your opinion is the one that discriminates against a minority based on false assumption and ignorance.
7. You show me your respect, and I'll show you mine.
If you're feeling a bit ganged up on, maybe reflect on how that's how every gay person feels when they meet people like you, who share your same "you're wrong because I believe so" attitude, and how that feeds into our very identity, and can lead to some terrible, sad and crushing experiences.
If neg rep on a forum is the most oppression you've felt in your life, then you are clearly out of your depth in this discussion.
Check your privilege.
