Homophobes SUCK

Caught this over at AMERICAblog...

Texas House Bill Bars Gay Foster Parents

Texas could become the only state to bar gays from becoming foster parents under legislation passed Wednesday by the House.

The ban is part of a bill to revamp the state's Child Protective Services agency. It passed 135-6 with two abstentions and now heads to the Senate.

"It is our responsibility to make sure that we protect our most vulnerable children, and I don't think we are doing that if we allow a foster parent that is homosexual or bisexual," said Republican Rep. Robert Talton, who introduced the amendment.

and this wonderful gem of a feller...
The Wisdom of Deacon Talton

MV: You're talking about the sexual orientation of the parent, not the child. ...

RT: Right. Of the foster parent, or the alleged foster parent. ... Some of us believe that's a learned behavior; you're not born that way. And so if it's a learned behavior, then if you're taught that that conduct is OK, then that's what they're gonna do. We know that it's a learned behavior on sex offenders ... same thing with this, it's a learned behavior. Same thing with pedophiles -- it's all a learned behavior...

We think of a parent -- y'all heard DOMA [Defense of Marriage Act] -- as a mother and a father and not persons of homosexual conduct. And I would put that value ahead of the value of foster care. Quite frankly, if it was me I would rather [leave] kids in orphanages. ... At least they have a chance of learning the proper values, and if that's not important, than I don't know what is.

These people are so close-minded as to think that a.) sexual orientation is learned (as if gays and lesbians WANT to be discriminated against and treated as second-class citizens), b.) that just because someone isn't heterosexual that they should be equated with pedophiles, and c.) Talton would rather these kids grow up in orphanages than loving homes.

I wonder how many of these self-righteous assholes have no problem with the idea of two hotties getting it on with each other, or have fantasized about two women in bed with them? They must think it's EEEEEEVUL! Uh huh.

Shall I bring up all the pedophiles in the Catholic church now?

"Shall I bring up all the pedophiles in the Catholic church now?"

Oh, ideally not. I will grant that the idea that same-sex attraction is chosen or learned is a bit silly. As you point out, with all the crap gay people have to put up with, what's the payoff? Anyway, anti-gay folks are often so revolted by the idea of gay sex you wonder how they can envision anyone freely choosing it. Is active homosexuality morally wrong? I believe it is, but that belief stems from my religious faith, not from a purely rational basis. Might the preference be reinforced over time? Sure. Do we all start out a sexual tabula rasa and some of us pick partners of the same sex just to freak out Rep. Robert Talton? I think not...

As I said at International Rock City (a fine blogger), Morons, all of them. Don't mess with Texas, huh. Well, I knew there was a reason I didn't like Texans. I won't be going there, not even to transfer planes as they don't even deserve my three bux or whatever it is they charge as a landing tax.

I know many, and I mean Many great same sex parents...of lots of different generations and they, many times over, outclass some of the wackjob heteros raising children...what about the nut case in your prior post who killed his mom with his daddy's gun? Oh, there's a great example of functional hetero parenting!

Scribe -

How do you reconcile the difference between your religious doctrine and your rational thought?

This has always been why I can't be religious. I have never accepted that whatever higher being there might be would do anything but accept you for the person you are, or simply not care who you are at all... Similar to how we think of atoms - we know they are there, but I'm not all that concerned about them.

It just seems incredibly silly that some Invisible Cloud Being is sitting around angry at one of the nearly 7 billion people for masterbating. To me, it actually sounds pretentious, as though we are so damn important that this dude makes enough time to give a fuck if two dudes get it on.

I'm a bigger believer of karma. Because karma's a bitch :)

That is so sick. I had a gay brother, and have been friends with some beautiful people who are gay...and one guy in particular looked me in the eye and said, "Do you really think I would choose this for myself? To be hated, and harrassed and always be in danger?" I never discriminated against anyone before then, but I realized at that moment that there was nothing deviant about being gay. It amazes me that people just can't allow for any biological differentiations. It wasn't so long ago that people like me were thought to be souless and without redemption because of my biology. Really, ignorance is ignorance whether someone uses the Bible to support it or not.

...And, my brother was raising a very handsome, and well adjusted son before he died (and my nephews mother is a lesbian at that). There is nothing "strange" about him now that he is a teenager...it did not rub off on him or influence him. From my own experiences, the people who are most dangerous to the welfare of children are hetero.

I know a lot of GLB people - at one time, there were more gay people working in my office than straight!

None of the arguements I've read/heard make any sense to me. And it just seems so sad that some religions are so discriminatory. You'd think that a God would want to be all-inclusive.

I think you missed the point. It's apparently common practice in Texas for hetrosexual parents to engage in sex with their children, or at least, in sex in front of their children. How else are they supposed to learn? Hence Texans who fear homosexual parents. When it's gays doing it, it's abuse. When it's hetrosexuals doing it, it's all right.

But it makes you wonder ... ok, makes me wonder anyway ... those gay cowboys and cowgirls out in Texas. Did they have gay parents? Well, their parents wouldn't think so. But I suspect there must have been latent homosexuality for the gay kids to result. By extension of the Texan warp logic, this all makes sense.

Now back to reality.

Ever hear of Ruth & Naomi, Jonathan
& David, John & Jesus? These are
famous same-sex love relationships in the Bible which Bible thumpers never mention.


Don't look now, but het fertility and the nuclear family are turning the Earth into Hell. They seem to think they have a divine rite to breed. Remember that the end of the Piscean Age means extinction through over-population.

you are right. the people against same sex relationships are hypocritical.

that does NOT mean that homosexuality is alright. you have effectively stated that because the government and religion is corrupted, everyone else should be corrupt as well.

moron.

I am not a homophobe. I don't fear homosexuals. I just hate them, and wish they all would die. None of them fear God because this world has lost touch with God. You can't even say the word God on television anymore. This is truly Satan's domain. Let's see what you think when you're all burning in hell. By then, it will be too late. Hey, what separates man from animals? The ability to decifer good from evil. Instead of bonding with God, you people choose to bond to animal behavior. The end is near. Laugh now, cry later.

Not unless you would like to defeat your own argument. I believe at that point you were saying that there is no connection between gay people and pedophials.

What is a gay dude in the sixties to do. He would really only fit in at the "YMCA" or the Catholic Church. Back then there was even less tolerance and much higher likelyhood of something bad happening to you. Im going to hypothesize that many gay men back then became Catholic priests. After all they would atone for their "sins"(mental disorder) by serving "god". Also it was normal for them to not have any sex at all...perfect for a gay man who did not want to be gay. Finally their gentle natures made them suitable priests. Unfortunately we all know how this story ends(in prison).

Finally I will cite a very compelling personal account. My father has been rumored gay all his life and he still really acts gay. Before meeting my mom HE was going to be a Catholic priest of all things. Hmmmm. He went on to have 8 kids with my mother and TO MOLEST TWO OF MY SISTERS.
The point is that homosexuality is one version of a much broader disorder and if you think this person should be allowed to raise children I sugest you think again. Homosexuality was taken off the list of mental disorders in 1973 and this decision was PURELY political.
I feel offended by you Moxie. Its as if you justify the horrible shit my sisters went through.

Being a Democrat myself its with hesatation that I say Texas is right on the mark with that bill.
No connection between gay people and pedophiles? Don't make me laugh.

Colin you very sick person. Because you can find one case makes all gays perverts. Get a life you narrow minded idiot! The connection there is probably religion. Gay people tend to be much more law abiding than straigt people. What a pathetic thing to say - not backing it up on statistics just on a personal account. Because I might know a straight person who is a pervert, does that mean all straight people are gay? Of course not. Stop coming up with crap. Sorry to hear what happened to you, but do not ever try to justify your anti-gay remarks by such sick comments.

Correction

"does that mean all straight people are gay" SHOULD have meant does that mean all straight people are perverts

Well, we can all laugh at your narrow mindedness.

The two people above me deserve to be hung, drawn and quatered. Twice. They are homophobic morons who need to grasp the concept of GETTING A LIFE. Homophobes really piss me off and i think anyone who can't be open minded about other people needs to die. I am fine with any and every way that a person may want to live their life. The only people who i have a problem with are those who discriminate for no reason or no good reason. It's people like the two above me that need to be discriminated against for being so narrow minded and set in their ways. Love is love, no matter who has it for which ever gender. But then again, people don't fall in love with just a gender, they fall in love with a PERSON.

Can't we all just get along? Isn't it tiresome to see the same reactions from so many different people. I was serfing the net and I came across this site. After reading the comments, it seems to me that people on many sides of homophobia issue are more angry than anything else. Why can't we communicate with each other without the hate or death wishes?

Where is the evidence to support that homosexuality is or is not inherited or genetic? All of the responses that I read were full of emotion, opinions, and hatred.

If you look it up, however, you will find that homosexuality is one of many deviant behaviors. Less than 10% of essentially all cultures or societies.

Moreover, the same sex relationships in the bible were friendships; I am familiar with the stories of Ruth and Naomi, Jonathan and David, and Jesus and John yet, I have never even read anything in any version of the bible that suggest that these were sexual relationships but friendships. However, the men of Sodom wanted to have sex with the angels that took the form of other men.

Finally, I appreciate the site and I like the intensity displayed here but, what good is it?

People make it happen in this life; I love them all however; Pedophiles make it hard at times.

God Bless and Happy New Year

I didn't read it all, HA HA, but gay people still suck ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gays Should All Fucking Die!!!! The Person Who Left One Before The Person Before Me Should Die With The Gays As Punishment For Teaming Up With The Kind Of People God Hates. Gays re All Sinners, It Says So In The Bible Under The Definition Homosexuality. It Is Wrong And Who Ever Does Any Homosexual Acts Is Going To Burn In Hell For All Eternity. Beat That Shit Mr. Or Mrs. Or Ms. Love Is Love Person.

Gay people are the most unholy thing in the universe, Devil-worshipping is like lying compared to being gay. And to you sick, gay, disgusting, unsanitary, ugly, smelly rotten, incest perverts out there (Gay Men: Get Yourself A Bitch!) (Gay Women: Get Yourself A Bastard!) JESUS IS COMING

P.S. To you people who type something after me that support gayness, you must be one gay bastard who likes it in his anus.

For all you homophobes who are always quoting the Bible saying God hates gays..well if God is all loving then he loves gay people too. What if gays went around saying "hey look at that straight person...ew she sticks a dick in her mouth....sick!" maybe that should happen so the Homophobes will get how rediculous it sounds! Why do people think homosexuality is just perverted sex sex sex? Isn't it the same for straight people then..sex sex sex? Thats all u see on t.v. I guess Homophobes must look at all their friends too and think about them having sex, seeing that they all have this preoccupation with wondering what people are doing in their bedrooms..weird...who does that. Homophobes are just plain and simple miserable people who have to shout out to the world "look at me I matter, I'm straight..please let me fit in." you homophobes jump on the band waggon to 'fit in' but your just shouting to the world that your miserable. HAPPY PEOPLE DON'T HATE...REMEMBER THAT!!! No matter how much you try to justify your feelings your always wrong..your the ones going to be judged! AND Quit thinking about everyone's sex life it's weird. GET A LIFE HOMOPHOBES YOUR EMBARASSING YOURSELVES! Remember straight guys like it in the ass too! I love my gay friends you are the best! To all the Haters get a life..try to be happy...for everyone you judge someone will always be judging you, even God

To the sad poster that is 2 posts above. Religous people have defied almost everything to do with sex. Sex before marriage, masturbating, homosexuals. I dont get it. If god hates masturbating, then why can people do it. He created them in a *Snap*. Why did he give t hem the ability to ejaculate? Same thing with homosexuality, if god hates them, then could he use his "all might powers" in a snap to maek them straight? Exactly, all my life I've been called gay (Im straight) by a bunch of homophobic idiots. These days, youth can't do anything without being called gay. This is actually why I'm scared of religous catholics. (Maybe I should be buddhist)
