If you meant something different than this straightforward reading of what you wrote, perhaps you’d care to explain it. Meanwhile I note that you made this contribution in a thread about Trump and presumably those points are in support of him – a man with a history of racism and repeatedly refusing to rent to blacks in his housing developments, and now with transparent support for white supremacists and hateful policies against Mexicans, Muslims, and virtually all minorities. At the moment Haitian refugees who have been in the US for years are terrified about their future because of these policies, for example.

I have said over and over again that I did not vote for Trump; I voted against Clinton. Trump’s personal beliefs and views disgust me; it is deeply unfortunate that he was truly the lesser of two evils.

I’m not the author of that post, but I just want to say that I think you need to look back and reflect on what you wrote and why it prompted the responses you got. ISTM that there are whole classes of people who would be very offended by it, and it’s more than a little ironic that you’re the one who claims to be insulted. Don’t you think that members of the LGBT community would find it “extremely offensive” to be called sexual perverts? Because that’s what you called them.

So “fags” is where you draw the line but “sexual perverts” is A-OK and not “hate-filled” at all. Got it.

I did not say “sexual perverts”; I said “sexual perversion.” There is a huge difference, although you probably will not believe that. I take the concept of “hate the sin, love the sinner” seriously. (Unlike the people of Westboro Baptist, who exhibit an entirely different form of perverted behavior.) I do not have a problem with homosexuals; I have a problem with homosexual behavior.

“God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; and hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth” (Acts 17:24-26a).

“One blood” – all men are related, both literally and figuratively; all men are equal. That is why I singled out racism; it was by far the worst thing of the 1950s.
