Default Atheist in an anti-gay church workshop

Undercover and secretly laughing, of course. He says they mentioned the Day of Silence, among other things, and it's an interesting report to me. Any thoughts?

Interesting. The fact that some groups don't believe in transgendered people sickens me. Yet another reason organized religion and I don't get along well.

It's just typical anti gay people. Trying to be a wolf in sheeps clothing by saying they really do care and they don't hate gays (they just want to change them).

Did anyone read to the point of this comment?

Quote:
On “homosexual” vs. “gay” — remember when OneNewsNow turned out to be doing this too (accidentally replacing the last name Gay in their articles)? Gay does technically still mean happy too, and it doesn’t sound so bad. Homosexual sounds a bit grosser, more elaborate and medical, and it implies that the principle defining characteristic about them is their sexual habits. (Meaning, if you’re homosexual all you think about is how you can have sex with someone of the same gender. …Whereas, if you were a morally superior evangelical Christian, all you would think about is other people having sex with someone of the same gender.)
It made me lol.
