“I’m the wrong guy to ask that question. Ask a gay guy.”
Why did you bring it up then? Was it your goal to disparage Christians?
You don’t even realize you’re part of the problem. You’ve been so desensitized by political correctness that you haven’t a clue what it means to be offended.
>> Why did you bring it up then? Was it your goal to disparage Christians?
Heh. No it wasn’t to “disparage Christians”. I am a Christian, genius. My faith has been singled out as offensive to gay people ... even declared “hate speech” by a few especially offended people.
I brought it up as an example to show that someone being offended doesn’t create “hate speech”. Thought you might be able to relate better if you identified with the accused rather than the accuser. Honestly, I think “hate speech” is a generally stupid concept to begin with.

Part of what problem?
Do you even understand what political correctness is? Political correctness doesn’t desensitize people, it over-sensitizes them. That’s the whole point of political correctness — to have people so scared-to-death of offending someone that they’ll stifle themselves. For example, to have Christians scared to speak for fear of offending the homosexuals, or the Muslims, or the atheists, or whomever.
I won’t join a crusade to require people to bow at the alter of the non-offensive. Today, we silence John Stewart for being offensive. Tomorrow, the gay lobby silences us for the same reason.
>> [...] haven’t a clue what it means to be offended.
Huh? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. I know what it means to be offended. Just because I’m offended doesn’t mean the guy who offended me is guilty of “hate speech”.
Nobody has the right to demand not to be offended.
