76. No, she's not saying that
She is screwed up with her logic, though. Seriously screwed up. Doesn't she realise that in Ancient Greece, the civilisation that gave the world democracy, homosexuality was not just accepted, but the norm? Or were Aristotle and Plato evil sinners, and democracy fruits of evil? Hardly.

She also speculates about the link between homosexuality and suicide. Suggesting one directly causes the other is immature, naive logic. She doesn't realise that people like her calling gay people evil are responsible for a HUGE chunk of those tragic deaths.

She also completely fails to mention the hoardes of straight people spreading HIV around. At least the gay community has MUCH better safe-sex education than the "I don't want to be sued" school system.

People like her shouldn't be faulted for their beliefs. She lives in a closed world, and needs education not scorn. Still, it pisses me off none-the-less ;)
