Excerpts:

The Pew Hispanic Center found that 72 percent of Latinos believe homosexual sex between adults is "unacceptable"; 59 percent of whites feel the same way. In New York State, in a poll of Democratic voters taken by Edison Media Research, it was determined that 27 percent of Hispanics thought gays should be able to marry; 47 percent of whites approved. In Florida, a survey by Schroth & Associates found that 20 percent of Hispanics were pro-gay marriage, compared to 29 percent of whites.

The same phenomenon exists worldwide. Virtually every nation in the world where the right of two men to marry is being seriously advanced is white: it is in Canada, the U.S. and Europe where the gay rights movement is flourishing. It is not flourishing in Asia, the Middle East, Africa or Latin America. Just in nations that are predominantly white.

So what's wrong with white people? To be sure, many have swallowed the moonshine˜served up in copious portions by our cultural elites˜ that to deny homosexuals the right to marry is to discriminate against them. Lost in this logic is the fact that homosexuals can marry. And many do; some even father or give birth to children. What they can't do is marry someone of the same sex. Neither can brothers marry their sisters; or fathers marry their daughters; or sons marry their mothers; or sisters marry their sisters; or brothers marry their brothers. But all are free to marry someone outside their
family who is of the opposite sex.

On another related note, why is it that religious wingnuts seem to focus on male homosexuality so much more than lesbianism?

"Lost in this logic" doesn't get any more ironic.

Because a lot of catholic priests etc. are repressed homosexuals themselves. I saw one figure estimating that 1 in 4 catholic priests were gay. The biggest seminary in my country has had multiple leaked stories of gay liasons happening between students. Let's face it, it was an obviously easy route if you were gay in the last few decades - go become a priest, and not face the questioning of people who were wondering why you weren't married or had a girlfriend etc (there was a big social pressure back in the 50s/60s/70s for men to marry young enough, at least were I am)

Which makes me even more sick of them.

The US has given asylum to homosexuals in other countries. That's how bad it can get. Then again I know several minorities who have much more positive perceptions of gay people.


On a side note, I'm glad I'm out of high school. Hearing words like "pinche", "büey" or "pendejo" all the time at school is terrible. Imagine a country where Spanish is the primary word and those words are used often. I don't even think the F word is used as often as those classmates did.

Amazing how the writer of the article so flippantly equates the acceptance of homosexuality by white people with incest.

Because lesbians are hot



















Seriously though, it's a logic to be sure.

 

[DaMan121]

Because lesbians are hot

Generally speaking, real life ones are not.. real ones, not drunk teenage girls kissing, porn stars etc.

 

[Property of Jumpship]

Because lesbians are hot

Reminds me of that Chasing Amy part where Jason Lee goes off on brute lesbians, Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, lipstick lesbians and $100.

He says 3 arent real. Ill let you figure out which 3.

Yes, many people who argue against homosexuality really suck at drawing valid analogies.

Perhaps you didn't notice the wink?

I'm certain you can draw a fairly strong correlation between the religiosity of a race and it's opinion on homosexuals.

And considering how much more drastically religious hispanics in this country are, I'm not surprised at all about this. In fact, they're probably the group that overall benefitted the least from GWB but voted for him anyway.

Banky: Alright, now see this? This is a four-way road, OK? And dead in the center is a crisp, new, hundred dollar bill. Now, at the end of each of these streets are four people, OK? Are you following?

Holden: Yeah.

Banky: Good. Over here, we have a male-affectionate, easy to get along with, non-political agenda lesbian. Down here, we have a man-hating, angry as fuck, agenda of rage, bitter dyke. Over here, we got Santa Claus, and up here the Easter Bunny. Which one is going to get to the hundred dollar bill first?

Holden: What is this supposed to prove?

Banky: No, I'm serious. This is a serious exercise. It's like an SAT question. Which one is going to get to the hundred dollar bill first? The male-friendly lesbian, the man-hating dyke, Santa Claus, or the Easter bunny?

Holden: The man-hating dyke.

Banky: Good. Why?

Holden: I don't know.

Banky: Because the other three are figments of your fucking imagination!

IIRC, NBC cut down its estimate from 44% to 40%. Bad nevertheless.
