It causes earthquakes. :p

and swarms of locusts.

Oh yeah, sorry about those.

I don't mind gays at all. In fact, I wish all men were gay, except me. That way I could have any woman I wanted. So if a guy is gay it helps my plans for female domination in a way. Now all I need is a cat with opposable thumbs to carry out my daring plan...

You don't get it and that appears to be obvious or you would not keep dwelling on how it is to be discussed. If you do not deem it serious then you are not living in the US. I may be wrong but I imagine, flag or not that if you did live here you would understand that being a homosexual,lesbian,transsexual,hermaphrodite does not go over well with large chunks of the conservative population. In fact it can be a death sentence in parts.

I agree that the US is probably less tolerant than most of the EU countries. But it's certainly not BDunnels fault that too many here in the US are ignorant of the fact that the majority of gay people (or other than straight people) don't make a choice to be gay, they are born that way. A great deal of that conservative population is also sometimes led by biased religions that allow all the divorced, greedy, and otherwise "sinful" people to judge gays and ignore their own sins.

I used to be a member of a forum where about 50% of the members were gay. There were numberless debates and fights on this issue and I remember that many of them explained they become gay because they experimented it. Never dared to say something but I suppose they were just trying a new experience, liked it and etc.

I don't claim to have a huge circle of gay friends, but I have never met anyone like that.

Whose fault is that other than the bigots themselves?

Maybe I also slightly resent your implication that I suffer from a 'very serious anomaly'.
