As a sort-of Christian (Unitarian Apathetic) I'd like to think that if Cheney and the Bible were your friends, they'd produce a reaction like matter and anti-matter.

Right, because there are so many more gay bars than regular night clubs, and no straight guy ever got a girl to come home with him from the club anyway. Plus also too while the wimminz are all about looks, gay men are renowned for having absolutely no standards when it comes to physical appearance.<br /><br />Seriously, the utter nonsense that people come up with to try to rationalize their bigotry makes my brain hurt whenever I make the mistake of thinking about it at all.

This is the thing that annoys me most about the "It's a choice" crowd. I mean seriously, do they <em>really</em> think that people would <em>choose</em> to endure the massive piles of shit that have throughout history been dumped on gay people (e.g. the story of <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alan_Turing#Conviction_for_indecency" target="_blank">Alan Turing</a>, and that's even before we get on to all the actual murders)? Do they think that buttsechs is objectively <em>that</em> much more pleasurable or something?

It just makes no sense whatsoever.
