Why can't Tourette syndrome suffers be given the same equality...
Which is more 'normal'.... Using bad words innocently due to a mental illness or having full blown sexual intercourse with members of the same sex?
They are both as a result of the mind to a large degree
There would be a 'Tourette syndrome' agenda too.

I might remind you that humans are physically designed to mate with those of the opposite sex, not the same sex. This is why males have male genitalia and females have female genitalia. So no, homosexuality is not part of nature, it's a corruption of nature that everyone is trying to pass off as natural and normal. I consider it to be a socially-accepted mental illness.
All hail the designer/creator of the human race for they know whats natural and whats not.
A socially accepted mental illness, just as bigotry is a socially accepted mental illness, well actually bigotry is more of mental illness because that is how one thinks yet being Gay to me is a physical thing so im not sure about that actually being in a persons head as much as hating what a people do in the privacy of their own homes.
A mental illness is so called because a person does things which struggle to allow them to fit into society, like Tourette syndrome for example. This is where people use violent and abusive language without being able to stop it, google it for some great vids This mental illness is not accepted by society even though almost every rap song which ever got in the top 100 is littered with such language.
If you are gay you have sex with members of the same sex for what you consider 'natural' (or if you are smart you admit it is not natural) pleasure. Society is changing via the powers that be so the next generation will consider gayness normal.

They are both as a result of the mind to a large degree, one is accepted or acceptance is being forced on us and the other is not accepted......
But I tell this..... If politics and Hollywood was littered with Tourette syndrome sufferers.... There would be a 'Tourette syndrome' agenda too.

There's a difference between hiding and not flaunting and making a huge show of it. Riding down the street in floats wearing skimpy outfits making a huge deal of your sexual orientation does what exactly? Why be proud to be gay? You should take pride in your accomplishments and achievements not something that you have no control over.
You don't like gay pride parades because you don't like gays. Only a small segment of gays even participate in those parades. But you focus on the gay pride parades, because that's your best argument for forcing all gays back into the closet.
those that find it necessary to flaunt their homosexuality out in the open and make a huge show of it are the ones that annoy me.

as a gay man myself, these sorts of post really confuse me, I don't have an agenda, i get up go to work and then socialize with friends, straight, bi and gay. I am highly political, but 'gay issues' would never sway my vote or opinion.
What people don't realize is that gay pride festivals are primarily fund raising for gay health charities, events that promote unity with the larger community, in a fun way, Birmingham Pride is the perfect example, a party atmosphere promoting the good work of charities while providing a place for like minded people to party and have fun.
The political side of this is all about equality, too much is put on gay marriage, when the main issue of marriage is the benefits that come with it, legal issues such as next of kin and the right of a partner to assume the property in the event of the others death, and life insurance issues, all married couples enjoy a tax break, taking into account both wages. This is why gay marriage has become such an issue, something the church needs to realize before spouting off sanctity of marriage rubbish.
this so called 'gay agenda' is coming from straight politicians looking to win votes, plain and simple, most gay people i know find it offensive we are covered by special laws that give us equality, when i'm totally shocked to find out i'm not classed as equal in the first place.
so before you spout off about gay issues just look at who's saying it, we dont want to be told we are equal, we should already be equal.
rant over lol

Not all gays are flamboyant. Some straights are loud and obnoxious in public, are we against all heterosexuals now? Plenty of straights flaunt their sexual orientation, but you don't have a problem with that?
You just don't like gays, period. Either you are ignorant of the fact that there are as many different personalities in gay people as straight people, or you are just a bigot who chooses to ignore that fact.
By the way, the whole "some of my best friends are gay" line is essentially seen as synonymous with "I'm a bigot but I don't want the attention from it, so I'll pretend I'm not." Be careful with that.

What about the heterosexuals that flaunt their sexuality? I don't see you nitpicking at them.
