Okay, I'm going to keep preaching the words of Jesus then.

Fantastic, then I'll blame you for all the people killed by atheists because you didn't do anything to prevent it.
You can call me whatever you want but if being decent means allowing children to be taught about crossdressing and anal sex then I'd rather be a bigot.
From a Christian perspective, they are imprisoning and oppressing themselves because they don't want to give up their sinful lifestyle yet want to have the same benefits as those who do. You want to have your cake and eat it, too.
Why is it so difficult to understand that normal people don't want to constantly be bothered or have to deal with gay people insisting they be allowed to do gay stuff around their kids?
I mean come on, at some point you gotta look at this whole thing reasonably. Where has all the LGBT acceptance in the West gotten us? There's gay people in the White House, transgenders in the military, pride parades in every major city, and yet somehow we're still arguing about whether gay people are oppressed because some states won't allow them to teach children about anal sex.
At some point you have to ask the question whether gay people are living in a state of feeling permanently oppressed not because of what Christians will or will not allow them to do, but as a result of their sinful lifestyle?
FWIW, I'm not sure that putting them in prison is the right way to deal with the problem, but from a Christian perspective, there isn't much anyone can do about it as long as they insist that being gay isn't the problem, lack of tolerance is.
Look, clearly it would be preferable if people are moral because they have reasoned things through, because then they won't be as likely to fall to temptation or be reasoned out of it. Now I don't know about you, but, I would prefer someone who doesn't murder me because they believe they'll go to hell if they do to someone who does because he believes he'll get away with it.
It's not immoral to believe in Santa Claus, is it?
Lots of gay sex happening in prisons, should be right up their alley, no?
Okay but they're not murdering them, are they?
As far as Christianity is concerned, gay people are living in sin. And as long as they are not repenting or seeking help with their condition, they cannot be saved.
The point was that anything, no matter how innocent or lifesaving, can be used for murder if you really want.
But I get it, you want to stay mad about the past.
If one person can do it, so can you. Unless you prefer to stay mad about the past forever because that isn't going to change.
Okay, now that's a very good point. Almost.
As long as someone is acting morally, does it matter whether they do it because they understand morality and can reason it through the way you did, or because they think an invisible man in the sky is going to send them to hell if they don't?

Apparently it IS bothering people enough that they're willing to go through the trouble to make laws about it.
Doesn't mean it's appropriate to teach children about it.
