Default Traditional Values: "The Homosexual Urban Legends"

I found this website and thought I'd share.

http://www.traditionalvalues.org/urban/

It's pretty bogus. It pisses me off when people are so ignorant.

Just scanning the home page was enough... No doubt these people are the same as those who deny the holocaust ever happened. Ignorant, blind fools.

2 things.

On the born gay page. The 2 guys sleeping together is a very cute picture.

That site is just like all other extremist publications. Full of logical fallacy, fear, and completely lacking in citation.

I only managed to make it to the page after you click enter. All I read about was how homosexuals apparently molest children at a higher rate than heterosexuals, like it's some sort of fecking competition. Who cares what their sexuality is? Doesn't make it any less wrong, nor does it mean that such behaviour can be generalised to an entire community because of it.

It's interesting how they claim to offer the truth. After about 30 words my mind was already flooded with how much bullshit they're talking.

There have been several studies on the size of the Homosexual population. The results vary from 1.3% to 30%. The studies are known to have a high error rate due to the social pressures regarding sexuality.

10% is widely regarded to be the most accurate number. Even without the social pressures, we will never have an exact number because sexual orientation is not discrete.

My observations tend to backup the 10% number.

I think it's pretty funny. Even most people wouldn't buy that shit today, and those who do would mostly be laughed at. I can't think I've ever heard of an out gay man being a pedophile. It's the 'straight' ones you gotta look out for...

That's just repulsive and closed minded. I wouldn't mind if those were true for only gay ppl. Like straight ppl don't have aids or being straight makes u immune to STDs.

My only problem with this site is that it is SO poorly coded that it looks like a website from 1995!

SERIOUSLY you would think they know more than background colors, font colors and how to add pictures.....
