To equate aberrant, chosen sexual behavior to the brutality of slavery is an outrage! Shame on you #LGBT activists

Its not about comparing LGBT with race.
Its about comparing the contempory reaction of people like you to LGBT with the historical reaction of people like you to race.
Bigots are bigots, regardless of the object of their hatred.
Interesting choice of pictures. Of course, you could always have picked a picture of Fifty Cent and put it next to an image of a violent hate crime.
Anyone can put two pictures next to one another. Don't think we're so stupid as not to see through it.
It's an outrage. Black people have been tormented simply because their skin is a few shades darker. Gay people have been tormented simply because they can only fall in love with people of the opposite gender to what is expected.
We equate innate traits (color of the skin) with other innate traits (sexual orientation).
Prohibiting interracial marriages is just as stupid and outrageous as prohibiting same-sex marriages.
The brutality of hate-crimes against homosexuals is also outrageous. Shame on you for not recognizing this!
I agree that comparing the treatment of LGBT's to slavery is a bit of a stretch. What is not a stretch, however, is the comparison of the treatment of LGBT's to the discrimination of minorities up to the 1960's and even later.
I am straight, not by choice (though if given the choice, my environment dictates that I be straight anyway), but by nature. If fundies simply argued against homosexual acts, that would be one (messed up) thing, but the Bible clearly says thinking about sexual impurity is sinful. Thus, the distinction between behavior and thoughts is irrelevant when discussing the Bible.
It is not chosen. Shame on you #MattBarber
In years past, people thought outlawing slavery and permitting race-mixing would be "mocking Gobs" too...
The thing Matt Barber is not catching on to is that the Bible is OK with slavery, but says gays are to be put to death. If he is attempting to say slavery is wrong, then he is going to have to concede that the bible is wrong.
I went on a bit of a rant about this on youtube, if anyone wants to see. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLUH4gO-_Ao
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
