Holy fucking asshole!

I read about this on The F Word yesterday. I figured I'd wait 'till I could think coherently before I'd post...but today I'm just as boiling mad.

Today, the ass issued an apology. He didn't mean to offend "individual homosexual persons, but the promoters of gay culture". Dude, gay culture is about individual persons, and we have as much fucking right to promote our culture as you do your faith.

To paraphrase his own words: "Let us make it obligatory for homosexuals Christians to have their backsides tattooed with the slogan SODOMY RELIGION CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH and their chins with FELLATIO THE BIBLE KILLS."

How would you like that? Asshole.

This is hate speech. He should be prosecuted - this is clearly illegal under UK law, and the bastard posted it on the internet: it should be an open and shut case for the CPS. But I bet it won't happen.

What amazes me was the number of idiots on the Daily Mail website (ok, amaze is probably the wrong word!) are agreeing under the guise of free speech and I'm sorry, but free speech should not cover this kind of vile and uninformed comments!

I'm having a difficult time putting into words just how angry I am!

I'm completely boggled at how he could call something so incredibly hateful satire or joking. Just. What? That's hate speech and just absolutely disgusting no matter what he calls it. What century is this again?

That man is just disgusting.

I had my usual response of 'Didn't I move across the ocean to get away from these people?' *shakes head* What an ass.

Not that I want to pull a Godwin's Law and lose any kind of argument before even I start but, what? So this guy wants to do better than the Nazis, is that it? The pink triangle on a coat wasn't enough, he'd like to try for some tattoo now?

This is such an incredibly hateful thing to say, I have no words, really.

I'm not sure I can put into words my feelings on this.

I will never ever get my head round the stupidity and hatred in the world. People like that make me want to go round apologising ::nods::

Religion has certainly killed more people than homosexuality (the Crusades alone, geez). And more straight women in India have AIDs than all the gay people in Britain because they aren't allowed to ask their cheating bastard husbands to use a condom, much less refuse to have sex with them. And let's not even get into the AIDs crisis in American (straight!) teenagers because the religious fundies over here have prevented adequate sex education of even the 'use a condom you dumb bastards' sort because obviously abstinence solves all our problems! Argh.
