"enabling the homophobe"....is that "it"then?.....is that your answer to the problem?....perhaps you dont see any problem?

Maybe you should do a little research before starting any more threads on this subject, or indulging in casual name calling.

FWIW, Grant Storms is not a "politician," and his various crusades have not involved spending of taxpayers' money.

Well, public funds have been involved indirectly, I suppose, in that his most visible demonstrations have been at large public celebrations (Mardi Gras, and "Southern Decadence" on Labor Day weekend) which require a degree of police overtime for crowd control. But of course that police presence would be in place with or without the added presence of Rev. Storms and his followers.

The various point about hypocracy, misplaced values, etc., are all valid enough, and there are of course elected officials who espouse much the same agenda as this guy. But HE is not a polician; just wanted to clarify...

Ake's figure that only 2% of the population is homosexual is a bit (!) off.

Latest figures:

2010
The National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior found that between the ages of 14 and 94, 7 percent of women and 8 percent of men identify as gay, lesbian or bisexual, and that by age 50, 15% of men have had at least one oral sex encounter with another man.

In the United States, the largest population of gays is (surprise surprise!) San Francisco, with 15%. Close behind is Seattle with 12%. I do not have ready at hand figures for cities such as New York and Chicago. Statistics around the world reflect roughly the same percentages.

I read the article rather quickly. The distinction between religious authorities and official political figures is so vague in countries like Iran and the US that it hardly matters. If you've got a few million people thinking you speak for the Almighty you can swing public policy, whatever the letter of the law says.

I think "Obsession" is the pertinent word here.

Perhaps i was being flippant in my earlier post. But the point I was trying to make was that whatever the statistics about AIDS/HIV - people are still gay.

heteros share the world with them. They would do well to be more tolerant.

So what are you saying, Akenaton, that Sub-Saharan Africans are all gay or that they don't matter?

Don't worry, olddude. The thread will continue as Mudcatters decide and post. Since homophobia is a major part of that "obsession" it is only natural that folks will want to weigh in. But folks have had a lot to say about other aspects of obsession with someone else's penis, vagina, and mouth, aka: "naughty bits."

And given how deeply this issue is felt, I am sure there will be more "non-homosexual" posts. Sex, after all, is one "third rail" of topics that you don't discuss unless you want a long discussion, and maybe some shouting.

Alright, then. I'll do it. Here's the redirection question:

The best person to make birth control decisions for a woman is a)herself; b)her partner; c)her doctor; d)the courts; e)her spiritual leader; f)someone with strong religious beliefs that she does not share; g)the legislature; h)the legislature from another jurisdiction than the one she lives in; i)her father who raped her; j)the party-goer who drugged her.

This is still about the obsession with someone else's reproductive equipment, so the thread may proceed.

That would depend on whether or not she was on maternity leave with a union in Wisconsin.

Nothing.... according to 99.9% of posters to this thread Steve!

What's the lives of half a million homosexuals, compared to our egalitarian "liberal" agenda?
