Sorry, misread the comments. I meant jillValentine333's first comment that was a reply to my original post.
As for my latest comment, I didn't say that there was a correlation between homsexuality and teenage parents. My point was that gay teenagers are less likely to get pregnant while in school.
What original statement? I literally just entered this conversation between you and @jillValentine333......
If it's the other post you said, I don't see how people not taking homophobia seriously directly correlates with teenage parents.
I understand what his intention was, and I'm saying the generalizations that were made are unreasonable. Flog had said that so much as disagreeing with homosexuality brings about personal feelings that are relatable to the feelings portrayed in the above video. It makes no sense to generalize to such an extent. Being against homosexuality/ not supporting it is not the equivalent of being malicious or hateful towards homosexual individuals.
And again, just because an opinion makes someone feel poorly that doesn't necessarily mean that particular opinion is incorrect or in need of being changed. Guilting people into siding with a different viewpoint is never going to work in this case.
I think the OP's intention was to show how difficult and painful it is when people say that what they are is wrong. Not what they do, but wh… moreat they ARE. How would you like it if someone told you that you were inferior or evil because of where you live? Or who you like? It's torture to do that to somebody, and I think what the OP was trying to do was say "This is how it feels inside for us."
I completely agree that there's a difference between not liking gay people and hurting them, but some people just voice their disapproval of homosexuality so heartlessly and uncaringly. I think Flog was talking about those kinds of people.

"Every time you say 'I disagree with homosexuals' or 'homosexuals are immoral' or 'homosexuals are against the natural order made by god' - this is how it feels."
If he was specifically talking about people who actually attack homosexuality with malicious intent, I see no evidence of it. He pretty much painted the picture that disagreeing with his lifestyle was a terrible thing to do. I feel like he believes that being against homosexuality is the equivalent of being homophobic. If not, he should probably clarify that, because it certainly looks like he is doing a ton of generalizing and is trying to guilt trip.

People are upset, so they want to talk about it. Its natural. If we were all a little bit more sensitive to other people's feelings we probably wouldn't be talking about this at all.
Just trying to get the idea across that those in disagreement with homosexuality are not in fact a bunch of heartless monsters looking to be malicious towards homosexuals.
I should have been more clear. Some examples, like "Homosexuals are immoral" and "Homosexual are against the natural order by god", are stated by lots of people as if they are fact. If the view was worded as "I think homsexuals are immoral" instead of just saying it as a fact, then I think that would be acceptable to Flog judging by his post. It's an opinion, and we don't choose to like or dislike gay people. We just do because that's how we are. I will say though that this was simply how I interpreted Flog's post.

I believe Flog is against those ideas no matter how they are worded. Anyway, I think he can clear up his own intentions if he finds that his message was taken in the wrong sort of way. I don't think there is much point in us going back and forth on what the guy may have or may not have meant lol.

I have read the entire Bible.
That is why I'm able to quote it.
And did you know the Bible says that God is not the cause of our problems?
"Let no-one, when he is being tempted say "I am being tempted by God"; for God feels no temptations of evil, and himself tempts nobody. But each one is being tempted by being enticed and allured by his own desire; then desire becomes pregnant and gives birth to sin, and sin grows up and brings forth it's offspring, death." - James 1: 13-15. ( Byington translation.)
You're either lying or you haven't read the entire bible. because I have read the entire bible.
What brand of clothing do you wear?
Di… mored you know that it is an affront to god to wear clothing made of more than one fabric? So the elastic band in your underwear? A sin.
4.3 Please refrain from talking about banned members or their ban reasons "behind their back" during a timeout.
Right now you're flagrantly breaking this rule. The person you adressed your comment to has already been punished, no actions on your part are required. Insulting someone who can't reply back to defend themselves is just disgusting and cowardly.
Did you actually just call me a disgusting coward because I was honest about how toxic someone was? Alright, I shouldn't have said that; I broke a rule. I'm at fault here. That doesn't make me no better than a homophobe who does nothing but spout hate.
You're no better, trust me.

That doesn't give you the right to continue disgracing them either, being homophobic is one's personal choice and is none of your concern. I've seen the original deleted comment, and it was hardly spouting hate - just honest reaction to a thread, which is rather provoking as it is. Honest, similar to yours.
That doesn't make me no better than a homophobe who does nothing but spout hate.

Ultimately I don't give a shit what people do with their lives, so long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. I personally have known a lot of gay people, and I've always offered them the same respect and courtesy that I offer everyone else, however, I guess by your definition I'm a homophobe, since I disagree with homosexuality. Anyways, I'm sure that most people that share that sentiment also feel the same as me in this regard as well. Just because I disagree with it doesn't mean I think homos should be treated any differently under the law. A lifestyle choice such as yours doesn't make you less deserving of justice, and it doesn't in any way make you a criminal.
As for being made fun of, you've just got to roll with the shots. If you can believe it, even straight white males get made fun of, usually more than once! Really though, no matter what your choices are, political party, sexual preference, drug and alcohol use or not, it doesn't matter. You are going to face scrutiny and hatred, that's just life. The only way to change that is to eliminate humanity, or put humanity on mind altering drugs, because it's always been this way, and with my previous two examples aside, it always will be.
If where you live is anything like where I live, then there are no discrepancies in the laws that make homosexuality a crime, or its practitioners guilty just for their lifestyle choice. So do what I do, post your opinion knowing that no matter what you say you aren't going to change all of the people's minds, and have some fun.
I had a friend named Todd, growing up. He had a brother named Bob. (names have been changed to protect the innocent.) The older brother was the favorite of the family. Bob however never really knew who he was. I saw him struggle growing up. He was really into guns for a while, then we stopped talking because i was eighteen at the time. I was going to college to be that history teacher. I heard about six months later he tried to kill himself with a Pistol. His mother calls me on the phones and asks me to talk to him. Eventually i work out that he has been gay his whole life, and he wanted to die because of it.
I don't know what to tell him.
Eventually his father finds out and disowns him. His father's brother was a homosexual, and died of Aids, so he was extremely homophobic. I haven't spoke to him in since i went to basic, that been years ago.
I feel like i am being pulled by both sides, i just want people to be happy in life, it shouldn't matter imo who you find happiness with.
I have other things to think about, then be judgmental to people trying to live their lives.
Just trying to get the idea across that those in disagreement with homosexuality are not in fact a bunch of heartless monsters looking to be malicious towards homosexuals.
This is one of those things that's really, really easy to say when you're not subject to prejudice to yourself.
Like dude, if you're not a minority, I can totally get why you might think the hard knocks you get might get while a white, straight male, are the equivalent to the knocks you get as a gay person. I totally get it, but this isn't true or fair.
You are much more likely to be the victim of violence or ostracisation if you are LGBT than if you are heterosexual. And if you are the victim while white, male and hetero, it is vastly less likely that the violence against you was motivated by your skin colour, gender, or sexuality.
It is really, really easy to shrug your shoulders and say
You are going to face scrutiny and hatred, that's just life. The only way to change that is to eliminate humanity, or put humanity on mind altering drugs, because it's always been this way, and with my previous two examples aside, it always will be.
when you aren't the one who is regularly seen as a non-person because of who you love.
This sort of attitude helps oppressors by de facto. If you don't step in when someone is being bullied, the bully assumes they have your permission, and the one being bullied does too.
I really, really want you to understand I know you aren't coming at this from a place of hatred or anger, and I understand where you're coming from with where you said, and why it would cause you to have this worldview. If you view the world as an equal place, that is the world view you will tend towards.
But the world isn't equal. And it doesn't have to be that way.
If you are not a minority, the status quo is pretty good from where you stand, and it is not immediately obvious that other people don't have it as "good" as you. I'm not saying hetero people don't suffer, or anything of that sort, believe me. But like...
...try to remember the worst, cruellest bullying you've ever gotten. Then, try to imagine how much worse it would have been if you were gay.

Don't get me wrong, Hozier is one of my favorite artists and I … morelike this song, but in what way does it benefit you or your cause to call out the "resident homophobes"? People aren't going to change their opinions just because you "feel dread for them" due to said opinions, which when you put it that way sounds incredibly condescending.

I understand and recognize the emotional trials that homosexuals undeniably face, but someone changing their opinion simply because of it making someone else upset/insecure is kind of ridiculous and unfair. Ultimately people are going to do what they think is right, and everyone has their own values. Why would they alter what they truly feel is right just because it offends someone of the opposite point of view? As I said before, being against homosexuality is not the equivalent of being malicious or hateful towards homosexual individuals. Someone can be against homosexuality and yet treat homosexuals with utmost respect. If we were actually talking about a hateful mentality here, I would be more understanding. We're only looking at a difference in a particular value. It's not as if we're talking about ostracizing homosexuals here.

I firmly believe there is only One God, and I believe that different people in the Bible were visited by him.
And not multiple gods as you … moreclaim.
And God even states this for himself in the Bible.
For example, in Genesis, it states that God spoke to Abraham.
And then in Exodus, which took place over 400 yrs later, God appears to Moses at Mount Sinai in a burning bush and says: "I am the God of thy forefathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." - Exodus 3:6.
And when Joshua became Moses' successor, as leader of the Israelites 40 years later, God stated: "Just as I was with Moses, I shall be with you, I will not neglect, nor abandon you. Courage, and do your best, because you will establish this people in the country I swore to your forefathers to give them." - Joshua 3:6, ( Byington translation.)
