Gay rights groups attack iPhone confession app for Roman Catholics

Crazzeto:

That is not what I said. What I said is that it’s unfair to call it the gay culture period. You’re taking a segment of a group and saying they represent the entire group.

Charlotte:

That your brother identifies with and associates with that particular segment of the gay community is especially lamentable, and I will pray for him. However, they are not the majority among the gays.

As to my experience with ‘the gay community’, I feel silly needing to post some kind of ‘gay resume’ but here goes: I am a third generation San Franciscan. In over 30 years in San Francisco, I’ve been to three gay pride parades in San Francisco, but I refuse to attend the Folsom Street Fair, (which is technically not about gays, but often gets imputed to them) and I’ve been to one gay parade in Amsterdam. I have gone to bars and restaurants in the Castro and Polk Street casually, as they often have fun things going on that do not only cater to gay people (some of the best DJ’s perform at clubs in the Castro.)

But I wouldn’t call the wild and raucous displays you see on tv ‘representative of the gay community’ any more than my quiet, slightly nerdy friend who’s a senior tax associate at a major law firm, the sensitive artist who’s been together with his partner for longer than I’ve been alive, or the down-to-earth lesbian couple who I know that run a towing company. They, and many others like them, deserve more than to be portrayed like exhibitionists and nymphomaniacs to which you refer.

And again, I reassert that they, the gays who are neither exhibitionists nor nymphos, that are the majority, and not the other way around.

The problem is Harvard, there isn’t a whole lot of negative tv against gays like you keep suggesting. In fact, I have no idea where you find this protrayal of gays you keep talking about on the tube. At the very least, I haven’t seen it. My problem is what I have seen personally i. conjunction with the raw numbers.

the raw numbers are approx 80%+ of gay relationship’s are open. 80% harvard, take that in. that isn’t on TV, its not from TV, it has nothing to do with TV. in your quest to normalize what you see, your missing a lot.

One last comment I have is,

I also tend to think that in our effort to “make people tolorant” etc, we tend to start overlooking a lot. So lets be clear about something here, it’s not as if I hate gays, believe it or not I know, have known and even work with my fair share of gay people. No, I wouldn’t say their all bad hateful people. No, I wouldn’t go bashing them, no I certainly wouldn’t lynch any. No, I wouldn’t pick on them, abuse them, make them want to commit suicide etc.

This isn’t about wanting the worst for gays either, quite the oppisite. It’s realizing the reality of what the gay culture is, and wanting the best for them. This is why I always respectfully exhort gay people to chaste life, it is very much, the better option. When choosing between a sinful life and Christ, Christ always wins. The rest of what I posted, is just the physical evididence that the Holy Trinaty knows what they’re talking about.

I’m sorry, while i believe the numbers of homosexual relationships that are open, I find it hard to believe over 80% are, do you have any sources to cite? The highest figure i’ve seen was 50%.
