I cannot be on a forum where some of the staff (namely ISR and FW) condemn Homosexuality as a sin, and believe that AIDS is a punishment from God for this sin.
It is sickening and evil, and the result of many smear campaigns run by the Church against Homosexuals throughout the history of Christianity.
I have many gay and bi friends, and all of them are honest and decent people. They have their rights, and as long as gay people are oppressed, there will be people who fight for them. I am one of those people, and I will not stand for discrimination on any level.
Terrorism and Natural Disasters may destroy our homes and lives, but we will always have the freedom of expression. It is a freedom greater than any other on Earth, and one worth fighting for. Homosexuals are humans, the same as you or me, and as humans, they need the same human rights as all of us.
Equality is the only way forward for the human race. One day the vision of equality will become reality.
Until then, I respectfully bid my farewell.

Poodle has a very good point. I have homosexual friends and it doesn't bother me, they are the same as everyone else, we have things in common and enjoy the same things such as Xbox 360 playing, D&D, etc.
I, myself am straight but there's no reason why a straight guy can't have gay friends, in fact one of my closest friends is gay.
