Homophobia is for faggots.
Organizations like the Family Research Council would have you believe that their civil rights are being trampled because they "speak out against homosexuality". Specifically, they are lobbying against hate crime legislation in this country on the grounds that it violates their free speech rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution.
Let's address it on its face. I believe that hate crime legislation is unnecessary. There is no need to punish someone double for committing a crime when there is already a law on the books that punishes that person for committing the crime to begin with. If I murder a black man, the crime isn't that I murdered a black man, it's that I murdered a man. Even if I murdered him specifically because he was a black man, making me go to prison longer than someone who killed another man in a crime of passion is unjust.
Yes, I do believe that our Constitution protects hate speech. Once we begin to allow for restrictions on the free speech clause of the Constitution, we open the door for every group with a personal concern in America to step forward and attempt to curtail our behavior. I think that a strong disdain for hate speech is universal in this country, but what about something like graphic descriptions of sexual acts? What if you could get slammed with a lawsuit or jail time if you were out with a friend giving him the full details on the girl you were with last night and someone overheard you? To some of these people, graphic sexual language, profanity, or hate language is all the same, and they'd just as soon be rid of all of them, which is why we shouldn't be rid of any of them.
That said, there is a world of difference between "discriminating" against Christians and discriminating against homosexuals. Nobody is born a Christian, or a Muslim, or any other homophobic faith. That's why the argument that homosexuality is a choice is so integral to the fundamentalists in this country who would like to go so far as to ban the very existence of homosexuality altogether - it's much more acceptable to openly discriminate against someone who is simply making what you can convince everyone else to be an immoral choice.
But therein lies the rub, therein lies the irony. I place absolutely no value in "morality" beyond my own personal morals - what is moral for me may not be for you, and vice-versa - but to me, it is immoral to choose to discriminate. And that's what this is for these folks. They are choosing to be members of an organization that openly discriminates against homosexuals. Even if you're the sort of person that believes that homosexuality may be immoral, that the Bible is telling us that God is wrathful with sodomy and will punish those that are sexual with the same gender, it is completely within your rights as a Christian to not be discriminative. The Bible tells us in several places that we should not judge others, that that is the sole domain of heaven, that we should love all mankind, even the undesirables, openly and honestly and earnestly. These people choose to be members of this organized religion that has open hostility towards an entire sect of persons that are born a certain way, and then they take that choice a step further by choosing to participate in that bigotry.
So I will squirt absolutely no tears for the trampled free speech of these persons, who only care about free speech when it comes to their ability to spew hate. I will openly mock these folk, as I always have, as I always will, for being a bunch of faggots that can't admit to the fact that this entire thing revolves around how they used to daydream about sucking John Quaraterback's cock and drinking his cum back in high school and entire sections of their brains shut the fuck off because they had clue zero how to deal with that desire.
Fuck all those assholes.
