Indeed. Of course homophobes don’t want to acknowledge the truth. They say they want “civil discourse”, but that is just code for demanding people let them discriminate against and abuse others. They claim they “love” and “forgive” people who are gay because that is the only way to rationalize that they and their god really hate and mistreat others.
The saddest part is that they’re mostly p**sies who can’t come right out and say “yes I wholeheartedly agree that a person should be allowed to discriminate against people because they’re gay.” Instead, they tip toe around by pointing to those few who are at least man enough to do it and then make the weak sauce argument that they only want “civil discourse”. But the reality is that many people including myself have given plenty of civil discourse and have been told we’re child molesters or worse in response. Well, funny that I’ve never heard of a gay person dragging someone behind a pickup truck or torturing them, tying them up with barbed wire and then leaving them to die because they were straight. I’ve never even heard of a gay person refusing to sell pastry or anything because a person was straight. The only people not being civil are the ones breaking the law and treating others cruelly.
People like him are the exact reason I am no longer nice and fully support making the existence of bigots as miserable as the law allows. Rubbing equality in their faces works. Refusing to let them draw the line in a place, or dictate the terms of engagement, in a place that presumes it is ok to treat other as second class citizens without having to take responsibility for it also works. Making it clear that you have zero respect for their sorry “the bible made me do it” nonsense, and that their precious book carries zero weight with you and the laws of the United States, works best. In the end, when you point out that you and the law don’t give a s**t about their book, all they have left is to call you a child molester. There is literally no legitimate argument for them to make. And as I have said many times, I am perfectly happy playing their way wallowing around in the muck with those bottom feeders.
The bible bigots had a good run. For centuries there were enough of them, and enough of them in positions of power, to make you pay dearly for speaking up, so most didn’t. They don’t have that anymore. Now they’re just a sad dwindling bunch of a**holes grasping at straws, trying to reconcile why their god ever thought it was a great idea to stone people to death based on their sexual orientation, and rationalizing why they think it’s still ok to mistreat gays so long as they stop short of murdering them with rocks because Jesus came so now that’s extra.
Of course, let’s also not forget who is projecting and are the real child molesters.
