What's the title of the thread?
And HH I don't have a problem with you disagreeing with their lifestyle. I have a problem with people who think they deserve worse treatment by society than the rest of us. That they should be jailed, ridiculed, accused of pedophilia, and force into "repair" (sic) therapy.
Then move to Uganda, BIGOT, and live with like-minded people. I'm sure there's some quality snatch there for you to munch on.
KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — A Ugandan newspaper published a list Tuesday of what it called the country's "200 top" gays, outing some Ugandans and raising fears of violence against those named just a day after the president enacted a severe anti-gay law.
Many on the list "are scared and they need help," said Pepe Julian Onziema, a prominent Ugandan gay activist who was named in in the Red Pepper tabloid. "Some want to leave the country and they are asking to be helped."
Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday's signing of the bill by President Yoweri Museveni marked "a tragic day for Uganda and for all who care about the cause of human rights."
He warned that Washington could cut aid to the East African nation over the new law, which punishes gay sex with up to life in prison.
"We are beginning an internal review of our relationship with the government of Uganda to ensure that all dimensions of our engagement, including assistance programs, uphold our anti-discrimination policies and principles and reflect our values," Kerry said in a statement.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon demanded the revision or repeal of the law, warning on Tuesday that it could fuel prejudice and harassment against gays.
The Red Pepper ran its list of names — and some pictures — in a front-page story under the headline "EXPOSED!"
News editor Ben Byarabaha said the paper published the full names of only the well-known activists and tried to use nicknames for those not publicly gay. A popular Ugandan hip-hop star and a Catholic priest are among those on the list.
Byarabaha offered no details on how the names were compiled.
Onziema, who has repeatedly warned that Uganda's new law could spark violence against gays, said the tabloid had provided enough information to identify many people who had not come out publicly.
"Some of the employers have read the paper, and from the descriptions they can tell who these people are," he said.
Few Ugandans identify themselves publicly as gay, and the tabloid's actions recalled a similar list published in 2011 by a now-defunct tabloid that called for the execution of gays. A prominent Ugandan gay activist, David Kato, was killed after that list came out.
"The media witch hunt is back," tweeted Jacqueline Kasha, a well-known Ugandan lesbian activist who is among those listed in the Red Pepper story.
Uganda's new anti-gay law also creates the offenses of "conspiracy to commit homosexuality" and "aiding and abetting homosexuality," both of which are punishable by seven years behind bars. Those convicted of "promoting homosexuality" face similar punishment.
In signing the bill, Museveni said the measure is needed because the West is promoting homosexuality in Africa, and he rejected international criticism of the law as interference in Uganda's internal affairs.
Ugandan police spokesman Patrick Onyango said Tuesday that no gays have been arrested since Museveni signed the bill but that at least two had been taken into custody since lawmakers passed the measure in December.
Onziema said that he had counted up to six arrests and that more than a dozen gay Ugandans had fled the country since December.
Homosexuality has long been criminalized in Uganda under a colonial-era law that outlawed sex acts "against the order of nature."
Some Ugandan lawyers and activists have said they will challenge the new law as unconstitutional and impossible to implement.
The Ugandan law came just over a month after Nigeria passed a similar measure.
On this issue, Scott is very emotional and lashes out at anyone who disagrees, very much taking it to heart.
On almost every other issue, he's calm and articulates his positions very rationally.
Funny how the further left you go on any given issue, the more emotional and irrational the belief becomes.
And yes, those of you who believe in fabricated gay "rights" believe this way because you feel that way. And you feel that way because 'they' feel that way.
It's all feeling-centric bullshit...the inability to face reality and call a spade a spade.

Johnny gets aroused by dicks.
So let's totally blow up the social order backed by thousands of years of human experience to accommodate Johnny's feelings.
No science.
No facts.
No real debate.
Just a shitload of propaganda and Alinsky-style attacks against anyone who won't toe the line.
Never mind that Johnny (like any other male) can still marry any woman he wants, we're just gonna pretend that someone (the church, the state) is denying him his "rights"
What "rights"? Gay people can't even procreate and have their own families. So what's the point?
Everyone has to pretend, just so Johnny doesn't feel as bad anymore?
As always, the left has completely lost it.

Something about Uganda? Yeah, I don't support what Uganda is doing by any means. I was just bringing up the point that some of us get labeled bigots, haters, homophobes, etc. for simply disagreeing with that lifestyle. Yes, there are extremists just like on any issue, but most of us who oppose the lifestyle on moral basis do not feel they should be thrown in a hole somewhere. For me, it's not even really about religion. We just argue that maybe marriage should stay between a man and woman. And, we would love the media to STFU about all these first gay to this and first gay to do that. It's nonsense.
I have to admit you made me laugh there a little......
But do you really think you're THAT good at reading people? I'm pretty sure I've had a consistent anti-bigotry position ever since I've been on this site. And I've "lashed out" before. I try nowadays to give people the benefit of the doubt.
If you think you can choose who you love Joe, and anyone else, ask yourself this question: Have you ever fallen in love with the wrong woman? KNOWING she was the wrong woman? Did it end well? Of course not. But you fell anyway. You don't choose love / Love chooses you!
Let's employ your rationality paradigm for a sec. So I'd be "Right" on Gorebull warming, and Left on the Gay issue. Do you REALLY think I'm going to weigh evenly someone disagreeing about Gorebull warming and others spewing crap like gays being mentally ill? No, the reason this issue gets more of a reaction out of me is because I can't believe how close-minded and intolerant people who reason like you can be. And how much company you have. Sorry Joe, gays are not sick. Now hating gays? That's sick! And how do I come to that conclusion Joe? Not from sitting on the fucking net all day, fighting about things I can't do anything about. Nah, it's from living in the real world. Being out among people drinking, DJing, socializing, celebrating life! And accepting people, both for their commonalities and their differences.
