Not getting in a box was kind of the whole point in this case.

I know several ppl that grew up in extremely closed minded houses and either the person is gay or just hasn't come out of the closet yet. It is a rebound thing, kinda like if you are too strict on your daughter so goes to college and becomes a major sloot.

My thoughts on homosexuality are overwhelmingly influenced by what the Bible has to say on the subject. I mean, you either believe it's the word of God, or you don't. I don't have a problem with people who don't see it that way, but I do believe that a lot of people get upset when a person asserts their beliefs on the subject based on Christian principles.

Seems like a strange premise to me. I oppose Obama as much as anyone here, but nobody has ever accused me of secretly supporting the man. A little different dynamic there, but I would assume that most people are being honest when expressing their views on homosexuality. Now, I suspect there are a few Hollywood types who publicly support gay rights because they feel pressure to do so, and they might feel differently in private. Look at Alec Baldwin, for example. You always knew when he was really mad, because he would always utter gay slurs.

But for the most part, I don't think the premise stated in the OP makes much sense. No pun intended, but this thread really blows.

And for the record, I think it's really bad form to misrepresent and simplify the nuanced views of a departed and beloved poster with whom you disagreed with.

Upvoted.

It's truly a shitty thing to do.

I'm morality-neutral on Homosexuality. I'm more Larry David than Book Of David on homosexuality. I'm a pretty standard-issue American on this I think, much more Libertarian than Conservative. But delightfully free of all the Liberal Orthodoxy with it's speech codes.

What I detest is the whole "Industry" that dumbs everything down so that only "Correct Speech" is allowed. Give me Camille Paglia blowing original thought out of her arse over this simplistic, agenda-driven "Are severely anti-gay people more likely to be gay?" drivel.

And I wish that the worst amongst us received a little "guidance" from our estimable admins, particularly when they have a documented history of starting "call-out" threads and intentionally misrepresenting the views of others. I mean, I could not imagine calling out the departed, misrepresenting their beliefs, and criticizing them for their views, which I had just conveniently twisted to fit my premise.It's so inherently dishonorable and cowardly at it's core.

Since you finally updated, I believe LAT's issue was the tactics the gay movement used in the quest for equality.

This.

I had private email convos with him about it frequently.

I received many a novel from LAT showing me instances where the gay movement was literally destroying his church. He resented that, and pegged it for what it really was years ago: selfish progs being selfish progs.

I agree with you, Lsupimp. This thread is practically slanderous, but that's pretty much FT in a nutshell. He's one of the most LCD posters here.

I dont know who any of the admins are, but they might want to consider whacking this abject failure of "hit piece" posting.

Pimp, there's no need for admin action here, not when the other posters are doing such an excellent job of destroying the OP's misguided premise.

Yeah LA, I hear you. Shitty people with shitty character start shitty threads. I got that. But It's just so dishonorable. As much as I try, I can't wrap my head around people who don't possess basic human decency or a sense of fair-play and personal honor. Not to mention, respect for the dead. I mean, who does that.....? I just wish Charles was here to eviscerate this tired little shite stain. Alas...

I love you man.*not gay
