Respecting someone's beliefs about people is different than respecting people for who they are. I don't respect Nazis and KKK members. People with who hate gays weren't born that way. They chose that line of thinking. Gays didn't choose to be gay.
If I respect Jews and black people, that doesn't mean I have to respect Nazis and KKK members because I should also respect people with different beliefs. It's different.
It's fine to respect both homosexuals and those who oppose it. The problem comes when rights are being denied.
Anybody else read, "Big Time Anti-Gay Leader" in the abbreviated thread title from the main forum and automatically correctly guess the rest of the headline? Christ, I wouldn't be surprised if there's an Onion article somewhere saying, "Anti-Gay Leader Has Sex With Own Female Wife." It'd at least have shock value.
Rudy; they did it again when KS came to Phoenix to watch Game 3 to streakbust Rudy. It sort of worked, too.
So the common conclusion is that anti-gay people are latent gays and are fighting an inner war. The subordinate part of the mind, which is gay in their case, is in turmoil against the dominant part of the mind, which is ostensibly hetero in their case. When someone has a strong political belief on an issue, it's because he would secretly like to defect to the other side. For example, I would secretly like to control the American torture chambers and be Pritchard. This means that all conservatives on this board are gay and I am manly with great big muscles, the most handsome thing you ever saw, which is why conservatives love me.
