Gay player...problem fans

Newsflash: Homosexuals were in the holocaust, too. In fact, after the war was over, the Allies allowed them to be sent back to concentration camps.

This is very true:

Actually, certain North Carolina preachers are still trying to put homosexuals in concentration camps

You know why it's not being diagnosed any more? It would open up the flood gates for everyone to file a disability claim.  Since there is no way to prove one way or the other, the government could go belly up.  That may be a stretch but as soon as someone has a condition you have more people looking to get paid for having that condition.

 

In order to keep order, it's best to brush it under the rug and hope that things clear themselves up.  Also in your so called articles there is no data backing up any facts.  I don't have to read it, because if the data was that, actual and factual, your fingers would start to bleed because you will type so dam fast to get it out and probably would use bold font to drive your points home.  But they aren't there and here we are.  Back to square one.

What are you looking for?  an experiment showing that Homosexuality has a genetic basis?  Like a twin study perhaps proving a genetic link?  God I wish I had one of those.  Oh wait, there all over the damn internet.  Here:  http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF01541765#page-1

Maybe you are looking for a populations study?  http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-008-9386-1#page-1

 

 

Outline the kind of evidence I need to provide for you and it is available.

I'm sure you could have come up with a better comparison than that. The Robinson story is about the descendents of slave owners' desire to re-enact or relive their ancestors legacy. Meaning, they wanted to kill Robinson to continue their fathers' tradition. Killing was their parents' tradition.

Racism is about descendents of caucasian wanting to relive their tradition but can't because of government protection. Thus it stops at just racism. Remove law and government, we'd have a genocide in our hand. If there were no law and government, many caucasians would still attempt to continue their parents tradition. Meaning, genocide.

Racism is not based on epithet or denial of opportunity. It changes into that because the actors can't perform any worse act. The KKK is not there to throw funny epithet at people. They want to kill and lynch every black person they can get their hand on and be proud of it. That's the business they're in.

Now, compare that to a person, of any race, whose fear is being ridiculed by his peers or fans if they announce their sexuality to the public. Not the same.

A simple analogy you might understand. The worst thing that could happen to Robinson without police protection was being hung by the neck on a tree branch. The worst thing that could happen to player X who announce that he is gay is a few ignorant fans calling him name. Not the same.

I don't even have time on my phone to go over how far off most of your statement is, but I'll leave you with this question.

You do realize gays have been murdered, lynched and dragged behind cars for being gay right??

I know that you're not intentionally being dense but while homosexuals as a group were never enslaved, they most certainly have been victims of violence in a historical context. Hell even the KKK loves lynching them just as much as a black person.

I'm surely hoping that you aren't trying to make the case that the worst type of abuse that homosexuals have ever had to worry about is name calling. Because if you are then you're fuging retarded.

Dude, this is not mathematics. You can't remove slavery from your equation to equate the plight of Robinson with that of homosexuals. Your point lost credibility the second you exempt slavery.

 

Christians, muslims,  retards, handicaps, Asians, Caucasians, you name it, have all been victims of violence. Why not use them in your equation?

 

And you don't get the point, this is not about level of abuse or atrocity. Race and sexuality are two different things. Are you making the argument that if blacks are 'accepted' homosexuals should be accepted too?

poll found generally broad acceptance of homosexuality in North America, Europe and much of Latin America, while Russia, much of Asia and predominately Muslim nations were more inclined to reject it.  Researchers found that a staggering 88 percent of participants in Spain felt that homosexuality should be accepted, followed by 87 percent in Germany, 80 percent in Canada and 60 percent in the United States. On the flip side, a mere two percent of Pakistani participants felt homosexuality should be accepted, followed by just one percent in Nigeria.

 

You people who don't accept homosexuality are obviously siding with the Muslims! This is 'Murica.  U can git out!!!!

If you think the worst abuse homosexuals face is name-calling, then I'm sorry but you simply have no idea what you're talking about

You're missing the entire point of the argument. Its not about the historical plight of their respective causes, though you're clearly ignorant to the historical plight of the homosexual, but rather about a comparable level of derision and non-acceptance by their sports fan bases....that was his point, nothing more.
