the violence and bigotry against someone who is gay, or perceived to be gay is very similarly supported by the "charitable" groups. those people are ostracized, told they are going to hell, and blamed for something that is entirely outside their control.

young people are beaten within an inch of their life. some, like that matthew shepard are brutalized and then killed. if someone can't see the similarity between a teenager dragged to death behind a truck because he accidentally hit on a straight guy, and a black man strung up in a tree because he whistled at a white girl, then i don't know what can drive that point home any further... maybe what that 300zx guy from chattanooga said isn't right after all... only outside the u.s do people get killed for being gay. right.

a lot of ugly shit in society gets a blind eye turned because people rarely have had to stand up for their moral convictions. it's easier to plead minor inconvenience because they don't know what to do in the face of something they worry is wrong

i have a gay uncle and he's real cool. he lives in california and one of my favorite uncles. and i have two gay friends who too are cool as hell, who have told me stories about their sexuality and how they've always known they were gay - even as young children.
homosexuality from a normal person's perspective is gross. i wouldn't want to get head by some dude, hell no that's fuck gross! but if that person is gay and finds another gay who makes him happy then who is anyone to get in the way of their happiness?


Are you trying to claim that Matthew Shepard was killed by an organization that receives donations from Chick-Fil-A? Do you have specific information that Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson were part of one of these charitable organizations?
Additionally, are you aware that they were accused of pretending to be gay to get Matthew Shepard to let them give him a ride home, and that they beat him, then took his home address planning to rob his home? That doesn't sound very homophobic.
