As an individual, you have the choice of availing yourself of any of those things. If your faith calls on you to reject them, then that's the price of your faith and more power to ya. Complaining that your faith inconveniences you, though, seems odd.

I'm not complaining that it inconveniences me. I'm willing to place my faith first and sacrifice if need be. However, I don't see why people should have to sacrifice their faith on behalf of a worthless, unnatural, and destructive sex fetish. What is it about homosexuality that its practitioners deserve protection from "discrimination", enforced to the point that good people are now being shut out because they won't prostrate themselves in front of some pervert who wants to take little boys on camping trips and to pass himself and his perversion off to them as worthy of emulation?

It's as ludicrous as telling dieticians that they can't use public facilities unless they endorse gluttony.

Name one positive thing about homosexuality.

I was amazed to see Jigoku on your list. I went to a screening of that several years back that was apparently the first time it had ever been shown in the States, as far as the people at the Japanese consulate (who had arranged the screening) could tell. I was surprised when I saw Criterion had put it out.

Criterion is amazing! Another great resource for Asiaphiles is the website yesasia.com!

Sure sounds like it to me. At the end of the day, no one is demanding that you do anything. You can go avail yourself of public services without anyone forcing you to renounce a tenet of your faith. And the Boy Scouts are free to discriminate in whatever way they want, as the courts have held. The issue is whether they can claim a right to government subsidy, and the courts so far have held that they don't.

Again, the Boy Scouts have refused to change their policy. No one has been forced to go on a camping trip with a gay scoutmaster, or forced to choose not to go on such a trip.

I know lots of gay people, I work with a lot of gay people. And I don't recognize any of them in the stereotypes of predatory, child-molesting, coprophilia-lovin', disease-ridden animals that I see described here. I know them as good people, many in long-term relationships. For the most part they're just as happy, or unhappy, as my straight friends. And as far as I can tell, no more likely to roll around in excrement or molest a child as anyone else. Maybe my sample is skewed, but there it is.
