"But my best friend is gay!"

If you have ever said what was quoted in the topic title, and you actually thought it would defend you in a debate regarding gay rights, slap yourself. NOW.

Slap yourself again for even thinking that an iron-hearted, lava-blooded bigot would completely change their deep-seeded beliefs, just because of someone's best friend. Neither you nor your best friend have any significance regarding the state of the nation.

I could just as easily defend pro-gun beliefs by whining, "My best friend has a gun!" (Oddly, he actually does have one.) It wouldn't increase my credibility in any way.

That's why I don't debate gay rights anymore. It never goes anywhere, and shouts of "ignorant Christian conservative" usually come along with, even though I'm not a Christian.

Geez, it's annoying.

If you read and follow the Bible, then your Christian. If you read, follow the Bible, AND think gays are inferior then you are a Nazi Christian.


My gay uncle probably has a better job then you do.

If people are bashing your beliefs along with christians, what does it tell you?

Perhaps you're making some of the same mistakes that they did. Where is your divine protection? Shouldn't you be protected against something like this, if you are truly correct in a divine sense?

Uhm. If a human gives birth to another human, but that human isn't straight. Uh. He's still a human. By DEFINITION.

I don't debate gay rights because it just fights with opinion. There's so much shit about whether or not it's natural or not, that who really should give a flying fuck anymore?

This thread is well on its way to becoming as epic as the "I'm gothic damnit" thread.

I'll say. I even got an ED article because of it.

I hate to tell you this but you brought that one on yourself.
snoopyfemme's avatar
I guess so. But hey, what's done is done.

On a serious note, you definitely have a point. That's why I don't argue about gay rights anymore either. Usually, I get the comeback of,

"Go read your bible!"
"Conservative asswhipe!"
"Go lick Bush's ass!"
"OMG! My friend is gay! How dare you say that!!111one!!"

I'm not really a big liberal or conservative but hey, generalizations and blind assumptions are what keep the world going right?

Pretty much. It's because the vast majority of celebrities are liberals. They like playing the victim. They say things like, "The liberal community has been terrorized to the point where we're afraid to speak!" And usually in front of a live newscam.
