Ratzinger's "gay ban" has got to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard. |
|
Yeah. Like all of those guys molesting children in Boston parishes in the 60's and 70's were openly gay. Puhleez.

1. Rape's a crime of aggression, not passion. |
|
You don't have to be gay to rape someone of the same sex.

|
I sure couldn't tell you.

5. That's my point exactly. The child molesters probably wouldn't even |
|
identify themselves as "gay." It isn't about the "gay" thing. It's about the "pedophile" thing.

4. Studies show hetros and same sex orientations |
|
are equal in the rate of pedophiles.
Ratzinger follows Hitler's hatred of gays.

6. The irony is the celibacy part for me. I'm not surprised by the blind |
|
hatred of gay men. A vow is a vow is a vow now matter how happy or straight arrowed it shall.

11. Not to mention that the teaching has been that the act, not the mere being |
|
was what they were against.
Celibate is celibate, or should be.

12. Kind of refutes their stance that homosexuality is an act, not a trait. |

14. This was to be expected |
|
from Poop Adolf I. No acknowledgement of the fact that pedophiles come in both straight and gay versions or that pedophilia is as distinct from being gay as can be.

15. I actually kind of think it's okay... |
|
Hear me out. I think that I'd rather know exactly where people stand these days, rather than hiding their bigotry in a bunch of cloak and dagger shit. Bring out the biases, I want to know exactly who the enemies are!
BTW I grew up Catholic, and got out intact - just wary of organized religion on a whole.

16. All certainly true. I just think it's a stupid way to try to protect kids |
|
from predatory priests. As if "out" gay seminary students are more of a danger to children than any other demographic!

In order to determine who is gay and who is not...
They take 10 potentials. They make all the potentials strip down naked. They tie a string to their "unit" with a bell at the end of the string. They line them up shoulder to shoulder. Then, they parade a buxom woman naked through the room. When they hear 9 bells ringing, they know who is straight and who might be gay. When, they are told to "hit the showers" and hear 3 bells ringing, they know who is gay and bisexual!
Seriously, they need to be less concerned about gays and more worried about child molesters!

18. Ah, but "gayness" is something you CHOOSE to do. Haven't you heard? |
