The media sure didn’t seem to care about Richard Hatch and his overtly homosexual self-promotion in reality shows in spite of not only being offensive to many Americans but also with a history of sexually assaulting another participant (Sue Hawk). He later was charged with sexual assault of a child but managed to beat that rap. He went to prison a few times, first for tax fraud. He also was convicted of assault against another homosexual man over something to do with Hatch’s adopted SON. (That’s right. He was able to adopt a sexually abused boy who apparently had a homosexual relationship with the male caregiver Hatch picked for him, and Hatch assaulted the caregiver. But not for the reasons we would have wanted him punished.)

Well, in our society, failing to pay taxes will put you in jail faster than sexual assault.

Hatch was jailed for over 4 years for tax evasion. His attorneys have argued that the prosecution and conviction were flawed because the IRS never completed investigation of his 2000 and 2001 tax returns and never determined that any particular sum of taxes was due

RE: Yes, I realize that, but what is degrading about what he said?

In 21st century America?

Anything that suggests a gay person is abnormal is considered “degrading”.

God bless Evander Holyfield. He has always been a man of God and will tell the truth about homosexuality.

People don’t understand what normal really means, it means what you could reasonably expect. Or a vast majority occurs in such a way. By the tradition of the word, normal is opposite sex relationships, and homosexuality is not, because it is a small minority of the population, not what to regularly expect of a person.

I don’t understand how sexual behavior isn’t a choice. As attractive as some woman I see on the street is for me, well, actually having sex with her is another matter entirely pal, it actually takes some kind of effort to do that.

As for claiming that homosexuality is inborn, one is essentially claiming it as a disability. People who claim disabilities claim recommendations to make conditions fair for them. People with numerous disabilities such as Down Syndrome or Autism have actual predispositions that are inborn or develop from nurture factors in early childhood, a lot of experts now believe the autism may be related to a reaction in the immune system.

Even in the case of someone with Aspergers Disorder, yes, I have a predisposition to feel %^&& if I feel like someone is interrupting me, but that’s no excuse to let the feelings of anger take the better of me.

My own experience with the fring activists is irritating, especially when so many of them view me and my oddities with a condescending attitude, in fact, easily more condescending than most of your average religious individuals do.

Homosexuals also have disproportionate obesity in their numbers too.

Abnormal is a fact, when something is outside of the vast majority, it is statistically an abnormality.

He is a fine singer, with an underrated voice (I have seen him sing soul, gospel and blues and he was superb). Culture Club made some great pop records.

And I am looking forward to you being disappointed. I’d also look forward to you actually coming here and seeing the UK (not just London btw) for yourself.

Well, I wouldn’t want to be in London again. I might get decapitated while people just stand around watching.

Or raped, like that London girl Kitty Genovese all those years ago, when all those 38 Londoners did nothing.

Don’t worry, if you do get decapitated, you can pull out your good old US of A handgun and shoot them dead. Whilst m*sturbating with the other hand to the thought of being American.

Exactly. Humans can only be reproduced heterosexually.

So believing in an undebatable fact of science is “hate speech!”

I’m sure the “Reverend” Jesse Jackson will call Holyfield “racist!” for it.

Imagine how those same folks would react if they actually read the Bible and found out what God says about this topic!

I am not usually that crude, but I am so sick and tired of the post-Rigby macho posturing BS from America, sick of being told just what y’all would have gone done if it had just happened in the US of A rather than Limeytown.

Nothing to do with having a gun or not. I saw the video, with people just wheeling their groceries by. Someone should have done something, but nobody seemed to care.

Because gays don’t consider their condition as a handicap or a disability.

I think they do, and that's why they feel they need all sorts of protection and "acceptance".

How do they explain natural reproduction of a species then?
