you wanna know why there is a higher rate of depression and suicide and substance abuse amoung the gay community??? because they are ostricized, beaten, murdered, victimized and outcast by an unwanting unwelcoming and unfriendly society. !
So TarAshley you have a PhD in social science or psychology and you personally know that this statement has been supported by verifiable results? Or, as I suggest, you have been bamboozled by the gay activists who get a lot of milage by being victims? Even the poster child for gay bigotry, Mathhew Shepherd has been shown to be simply a very unfortunate drug addict who interacted with the wrong people. His homosexuality was a trumped up issue that fed the homosexual activists’ cause but has been debunked.
Do you have any evidence that homosexuals are routinely sought out, abused, tortured, ostracized? Really? Let’s see we have numerous prime time TV shows featuring openly homosexual actors or hosts. These shows have extremely high ratings. Homosexuals are successful in all professions, in politics, in literature, in art and certainly in fashion and design. You are living in a fabricated world that tries to justify normalizing abnormal behavior.

i thank God every day that i belong to a beautiful church like the one here where openmindedness, love and acceptance are the goal rather than cold hearted calousness by people that berate and abuse people of different lifestyles. are not a minority of priests homosexuals? and becoming a priest is their way of dealing with it? to love and serve God and remain celebate? most people adore their priests,but once its made public that that priest is gay they are out cast and hated. i think its time for Catholics in general to open their eyes otherwise we will have a salem witch trial all over again. i am a proud strong faithful Catholic and a CCE teacher. i dont teach my children to hate i teach them that our mission is to love as God has loved. i dont think God would punish berate and abuse homosexuals as some do, in the public, in the media and on the internet! also the series a child called it is a perfect point of how foster system can go HORRIBLY wrong. thats my point!
You lose the argument by overstating your case. So tell me where you see all these poor homosexuals behing punished, berated, and abused in public, the media and the internet? You are far to shrill to even make sense at this point. As demonstrated every single night on TV, homosexuals are, if anything, glamorized by our media.
Further you completely ignore that utter disaster that homosexual priests caused. A celibate homosexual priest is one thing and I’ve not seen any concerted effort to drag non-practicing homosexuals out of the closet for persecution, have you?
But to ignore that homosexuality is abnormal and associated with other deviant behaviors is burying your head in the sand. A chaste homosexual will not be attacked, abused, or tortured by ANYONE. It’s when they violate laws, violate societal norms, or demand special privileges that they draw fire.
