Do the WingNuts have a final solution for gay people???
I am expecting them to decided to take all gay people out and shoot them or something. Maybe not dead, just wing them enough so they can't vote.
If I consider myself a good Christian, should I be speaking to my gay nephew??? Whats the answer "good righteous Christians"?

1. Well, theres always been a "final solution"....
The closet...and if you come out social ostrasism, violence, and maybe prison if homosexualiy is criminalized.

Or you can be forced to turn straight. It used to be psychotherapy, but now its the exgay movement.

I think only the very far right xtians want the death penalty. I think the consevatives would be satisified if gays were invisible and society was hostile enough to make sure no one dares to try to come out or live a moderataly open life.

4. You mean the old:
I'll pretend I don't see you and maybe you will go away?

2. Some people are convinced
of the "truth" of their anti-gay delusions due to intellectual and moral laziness. Others are clearly insane.

3. Iam not a righteous
Christan, but, remember that Christs teaching were about love and acceptance. Not the hate and discrimination that is preached by many of the religious right.

5. I was brought up
learning of this loving God, but I have known a gazillion who believe in a vindickitive (damn, cant spell that word) vindickitive God. Going to punish you if you aren't a good Christian. I could name the Religions that teach that, but better not. Ashcroft would be after me for sure.

11. I was too
and I don't believe that this god of ours(if one exists) will damn us to any type of hell that the religious people cite. This is there way of controlling people. Which is there goal.

8. Mostly I talk to him about car races.
I don't really give a hoot about his personal life. It doesn't have much effect on me what he does. He happens to be a pretty damn nice person.

12. That's good
I was afraid you might tell him not to be gay or that its un-Christian. There are tons of good gay Christians.

7. Some do
http://www.pfaw.org/pfaw/general/default.aspx?oid=2049

On the September 4, 1998 Armstrong Williams talk show, Colorado talk-radio personality Bob Enyard called for the death penalty for gays and adulterers. Last year, a Christian radio talk-show host in Costa Mesa, California said, "Lesbian love, sodomy are viewed by God as being detestable and abominable. Civil magistrates are to put people to death who practice these things." The announcer urged listeners to contact legislators and ask that they enact capital punishment for homosexuality.

10. Fear not!
I personally think that secretly.... they just want to date them!
(which, granted, would be an even greater danger to gay people throughout the world! LOL)

14. i think that too
A lot of homophobes are just insecure little shits who are trying desperately to prove that they are not gay. What are they trying to hide?

17. I'm not worried yet..
just because even the persecution of jews in Nazi Germany needed a catalyst before it could be justified to it's full effect..

The Germans had Herschel Grynszpan to smear the jews and justify the actions they did against them. There really isn't any gay equivelnet that i can see,

worry more about the Muslims and Liberals in general first. when they start goign to camps, then gays being rounded up will be more likely.
