This used to be in a thread in elections… God, what a douchenozzle. > [@So, we should get used to saying "President Christie?" Yea or nay?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-we-should-get-used-to-saying-president-christie-yea-or-nay/674448/95): > > Just so I can make something clear before I wrap up this post: People like me, although we condemn homosexuality, are not hate-mongers; we don’t like being lumped with the Westboro Baptist Church, Faithful Word Baptist Church and other groups of that ilk. We believe that homosexuals are people, and we treat them as such, but that doesn’t mean we approve of their behavior. Of _course_. You’re not “hate-mongers”. You just spread dangerous misinformation about homosexuality, prop up long-debunked ideas about “causes” of homosexuality (no, that’s not _your_ “theory”; it’s been the go-to excuse of bigoted radicals for ages, despite a complete and utter lack of any evidence to support it), and think there’s nothing wrong with a therapy which has no demonstrable effect beyond harming gay teens. You don’t hate gays. You just seem to do everything in your power to hurt them. 🙂 Excuse me while I’m not impressed. Hey buddy, what are you teaching your children about homosexuality? Are you teaching them “it’s okay to be gay, don’t worry about it”? Somehow, I kinda doubt it. In fact, I can’t shake this niggling feeling that you’re sharing your ideas, that it’s unnatural, that it’s wrong, that it’s dangerous. If your kids are straight, you are inadvertently teaching them to hate and bully a minority which has an extremely elevated suicide rate. If your kids are gay, you are teaching them to hate _themselves_ - to become ashamed of who they are, to make them think to themselves every day of their lives, “Why am I so wrong? Why can’t I change these feelings?”, and making them afraid of what would happen if you found out - afraid they might turn into one of the 40% of homeless youth who are homeless because of their sexual orientation and because their family turned on them. And then what do you do after people call you on your homophobic glurge? > [@So, we should get used to saying "President Christie?" Yea or nay?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-we-should-get-used-to-saying-president-christie-yea-or-nay/674448/116): > > Sorry if I said anything offensive on this thread. I’m leaving the Straight Dope message boards. Bye. Of course. You leave. Gee, I wonder why. :rolleyes: Yeah, being wrong, especially about things like this, _sucks_. It feels awful. Cognitive dissonance is a bitch. But you know what sucks harder? Being gay and listening to someone like you say things like this, and then claim “I’m not hateful”, knowing full well that people like Asher Brown and Justin Aaberg and Billy Lucas and Cody Barker and Seth Walsh died because of people like you and the children of people like you. Oh yeah, short side note… > [@](#): > > Homosexuality is not “natural” because the way human beings were created/designed is indicative of the fact that procreation is meant for opposite sex couples. Males have sperm and females have ovaries. The only way for procreation to work is when male and female organs work together. Ever had someone hit your prostate? Obviously not, otherwise you wouldn’t say crap like this. As someone who has had anal sex (both from a male partner and my girlfriend with a strapon), as well as giving it to my girlfriend on occasion… Yeah, no. It feels natural and awesome. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/decemberrants-yule-postem-here-plz/675207)._
