Guest EXPAT Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 I don't think these evangelists realize how their judgmental comments are so damaging to LGBT youth who are struggling. It's really part of the reason for so many suicides. Quote
caeron Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Kirk and many other morons like him mistake "free speech" for being able to say what they want without dealing with the consequence of their words. You CAN say what you want. Then the rest of us can tell you what we think of those words... Quote
Members JKane Posted March 8, 2012 Members Posted March 8, 2012 I don't think these evangelists realize how their judgmental comments are so damaging to LGBT youth who are struggling. It's really part of the reason for so many suicides. I don't think they give a good god damn! They'll say anything for the spotlight and to earn a couple bucks even it means they get to watch the world burn! Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 I think their motivation is that they want the world to be just like them instead of embracing the differences. If I looked around Rick Warren's church in Orange County (when I went but now you wouldn't catch me dead there) everyone is exactly the same and there were thousands in that room. But when one of his ministers said I couldn't be a member of his church as a gay man unless I submitted to a baptism and reparative therapy I knew what they were really about right then and I walked out never to return.

Members JKane Posted March 9, 2012 Members Posted March 9, 2012 Love this article on Cameron and people like him, agree 100%! Just so we’re clear, there are a few dealbreakers to us being buddies which you may not be aware of . Let me spell them out for you as clearly as I can before you go telling the media that I have your back. I won’t be your gay friend if… - You’ll let me cater your wedding but not have one of my own. - You don’t think I should be able to adopt children because I might be “attracted” to them. - You think merely saying you love everyone is equivalent to actually demonstrating that love. - You use your religion both as a basis to attack me and as a shield to defend yourself from my rebuttal. - You would treat your gay child with anything less than complete acceptance, unconditional love and a raging desire to kick the ass of anyone who made life hard for them. - You joke in some movie that electric cars are “gay” and expect me to laugh. - You still wish Will & Grace had hooked up at the end. If any of those apply to you, that’s fine. You have every right to be exactly as horrible and wrong-headed as you want to be. As I said, though, don’t expect me to be your gay friend. Now that that’s out of the way, I’d like to address those people who actually are my friends, because clearly we’re giving those other guys the wrong impression. So here’s what I propose: If you see Kirk Cameron, Sarah Palin or any other blatant homophobe, don’t be nice to them. It confuses them. Don’t shake their hand. Don’t style their hair or do their interior design or perform “Rent” for them. And for the love of God, don’t play your 1970s classic rock hits at their wedding, Elton. Just cut them off and say, “Sorry, I only do that for friends.” It’s not polite and it’s not subtle, but I’m afraid it’s the best course of action from here on out. Sometimes the only way to get through to these people is to be a complete douchebag. You know, like them. Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Kirk was on The Today Show today talking to Ann Curry. And of course he says he "loves all people". "I was surprised, frankly, that people were surprised by the things that I've said," he explained. "I have been consistent for 15 years as a Christian. I'm a Bible-believing Christian. What I would have thought was more newsworthy is if I had said something that contradicted the word of God, if I had contradicted my faith." http://todayentertainment.today.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/03/20/10772767-kirk-cameron-surprised-by-firestorm-comments-on-homosexuality-caused Quote
caeron Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 I hate it when Christians say "they love all people" right before they spew some crap. I don't care. I don't want or need your love. Your love is never justification for the bullshit that comes out of your mouth. so just SHUT THE FUCK UP. If you want to say crap, you have every right to say it, but telling us you "love" us isn't an excuse for the crap. Quote
