Is pride a sin? I think I read that somewhere.
Yes, pride is a sin. But, straight men don't have a straight-pride parade day. So, it's hard to blame heterosexuals for "pride". They are this way because God created them. They had no choice, so there's nothing to be "proud" about. Only those who make up their own minds to be this or that have a reason to be "proud". Because then, it's their choice, their ability, their effort, all their own achievement.

The point is that as a gay man if there WERE ever gay restrooms there is no way I would go into a straight one just to avoid the off chance that some raving lunatic homophobe decided that I "looked gay" or "looked at him the wrong way. So no need to be chipped!

You keep on mentioning this senator, but according to you this homosexual hate speech (Foot Tapping, hahahaha) is happening all over the place and just about all the time.

That's over 50 different men, both straight and gay that say you're wrong.

Gay pride is about accepting yourself in a society that rejects you.
Accepting oneself is the first step in having the courage to make Choices in a society that rejects you.

I'll ask you this again since you never answered my question before. When did you wake up and decide to be attracted to the opposite sex? If homosexuality is a choice, heterosexuality is too. And NO, I am NOT talking about acting on that attraction through sex, I'm talking about being attracted to the opposite sex in general (Finding someone attractive). When did you CHOOSE to be attracted to the opposite sex?

There are 300 Million people in the United States alone. A survey of 50 men is not even a reasonable statistical sample. Why not just read the newspapers instead, of the reporters who have investigated this issue. Google is your friend. Faster and more effective than calling up 50 special people all connected to you.

"When did I decide that all these things were factors of attraction?" I'd say I was just born this way.

So the MSM can be trusted, yet those men I know can't? You got some issues, dude.
I can see there's no changing your mind at all, so I'm done with this conversation. I know where you stand and I hope to never meet you in person.

Exactly! Just like the rest of us, you didn't "decide" to whom you would be attracted, you were born that way. Gay people were born that way.
The Christian doesn't "try to change your mind", only to "let you hear the word" of the alternative position.

As for hate and Christianity, it's all in the ratio of Old and New Testament. The more OT in the mix then the hatefulness ramps up.
Remember, that Christians believe we are all separated into two different "spaces" when we die, one group going to a place called "Heaven", and the rest going to a place called "Hell".
If you understand that one principle, you can understand what Christians are saying.
It's not about hate, it's about warning "the rest" that the place they are headed for is not "Heaven."
Those who can see the argument, recognize the Christian's words are "pure love."
But, those who don't have ears to hear, nor eyes to see, misinterpret the words as "hate."

I kind of need to ask how you come by this homosexual expertise.

Is it any wonder then, that we should wish to have something like the support that 'pride' can offer?
