Family Research Council Warns of Gay Relationships in The Old Republic

[Geo Da Sponge]

I'm sorry, but the level of smug idiocy dripping from that statement does nothing but prove the stupidity of the human race as a whole. There is NOTHING dumber than saying homosexuality is the way of the future. It's a one way family built out of anti-evolution more than anything. The Gay/Lesbian agenda has never been promoting homosexual rights, but making anyone that ISN'T homosexual look like hate criminals. The idea of letting people ruin their family tree is fine, but don't ever put those people on a pedestal when they will immediately turn around and call a straight family for being on par with Nazi's. This is NOT evolution, this is depopulation.

Okay, now to pick aprt how many ridiculous notions there are in this post.

Firstly, do you feel that homosexuals get given a pamphlet when they come out? "So you're a homosexual, here are your new political views"? The concept of the Gay/Lesbian 'agenda' beyond the one that we all share, not wanting to be rejected by society, has always sounded as mad as any other conspiracy theory from anyone saying it. I have never felt targeted as a hate criminal by homosexuals or bisexuals or any other group, but maybe that's because I don't run around telling them what they think.

Secondly, do you believe that homosexuals suddenly forget about all the straight people they know and like the moment they come to a conclusion about their sexuality? I think it's fairly safe to assume that their parents are straight, hence their existence. Assuming that these people treated them coming out fairly well, do you really think they'll start taking part in attacking them, "making anyone that ISN'T homosexual look like hate criminals"? And if they weren't treated well when they came out about their sexuality then you can hardly blame them for any resentment they may hold. In fact, the sort of sweeping judgements you're making now will only serve to widen that gap.

Next, (and this is a more minor point) "ruin their family tree"? Really? I'm sorry your 'family dynasty' might be upset, but quite frankly no one gives a damn. And if it's really evolution you're worried about, then it doesn't give a damn either. Your family line is totally unimportant on a genetic level and so is mine. An increased likelihood of a genetic line being ended is not going to bring evolution to a crashing stop, least of all with the modern techniques available to us.

And lastly, you are really worried about depopulation? Between the exponentially growing human population and all the alternate techniques available to provide for unconventional reproduction, is it really so hard to think that a small portion of the population not being able to reproduce through conventional means isn't such a bad thing?

In conclusion, yes it's ridiculous to call homosexuality "the way of the future". But no one was saying that, and the fact that you are ready to jump to argue with a point that isn't there says some rather troubling things about you.

GAY RELATIONSHIPS!? that's a game-changer.

where do I buy it?

At least they're honest about wanting to ram you with their 'lightsaber'.

Oh god, that is the most painful innuendo I have ever read.

if it's that painful, he must be very well endowed.

And then he got an entirely different kind of burning sensation.

I don't hate homosexuals, so OF COURSE that means I think we should ALL start sticking it in buts and scissors the human race into extinction. OF COURSE gay/lesbians want make all non-homosexuals look like Nazis. WHY? BECAUSE THEY'RE GAY! THEY HATE EVERYONE! It doesn't matter that hating someone just because they don't like having sex with the opposite gender is the definition of ignorant, the opposite of intelligence, which is a product of evolution (hence the hole "evolution leaving you behind' thing). It doesn't matter that Christians don't even hate homosexuals for something as "logical" as being anti-evolutionary, but because their Bible says GOD doesn't like them (and he's infallible!). It doesn't matter that NEITHER of put gays on a pedestal, but simply believe they should be treated with the same dignity and respect as everyone else.

Nope.

Glad DVS quoted me, this is epic.

Good thing absolutely nobody said that, than. I mean, I know you're implying I said it, but I didn't.

It's a one way family built out of anti-evolution more than anything.

Because it's impossible for homosexuals to breed, MI RITE

The Gay/Lesbian agenda has never been promoting homosexual rights, but making anyone that ISN'T homosexual look like hate criminals.

Yes, all us non-homophobes are meeting in backrooms to make sure it's understood that gays wanting to not be beaten or murdered simply for being different is supa top secret code for "all hail the homosexual master race."

You've cracked the code.

The idea of letting people ruin their family tree is fine,

LOL. I wonder which side of the argument you're on.

but don't ever put those people on a pedestal when they will immediately turn around and call a straight family for being on par with Nazi's.

Of course, nobody's putting gays on a pedestal here. But these accusations that homosexuals will turn around and call any straight family Nazis or compare them to them, that's silly.

This is NOT evolution, this is depopulation.

Which is one of the possible outcomes of evolution. Interestingly enough, there's a strong correlation between a rise in homosexuality and population issues (overpopulation, lack of available food, etc) in nature. Juuust so you know.

Which leads me to DVS, because I really have to wonder if he's right when he says:

My hat off to you, good sir.

It advocates for "family values" and socially conservative policies, and of course maintains a hard-line stance against such things as abortion, stem-cell research, claims of man-made global warming and LGBT rights.

So this group is against freedom of choice, scientific progress, global awareness and human rights, respectively. Why do people listen to these clowns again? I must be missing something here.

Okay, so Star Wars TOR might one day have gay marriage. The gays and the liberals are in line with the Chinese, and the Chinese used to worship dragons, and a dragon is a kind of demon, and often represents the devil. So, the Chinese are the devil. Thus, if you like Star Wars, you support gays and liberals and therefore you support China, and therefore the devil, and you're trying to take away our traditional Christian family values with your gay liberal-ness and destroy America. We must protect our women children from the Chinese gay-devils! We must destroy the gay/liberal/Chinese/Jedi/Sith agenda before it destroys America's traditional Christian values with its liberal Death Star gaylaser.

Because that totally makes sense (It wouldn't be the dumbest argument I've heard from these sorts of organizations.) Yay far right lobbyists!

 

[cahtush]

An American organisation with family in the title warning the dangers of homosexuality?
Not really surprised here.

The Conservative/Religious Right =/ They've been indoctrinated since childhood.

 

[Twilight_guy]

The first amendment, letting you express whatever view you'd like (and then let everyone else express that your opinion sucks).

Somebody doesn't let the potential for gay relationships... whoo, that's so interesting. I know its related to a video game but why do stories like this even come up. Somebody somewhere hates somebody else unless its a new way of expressing that hate its not really news.

 

[Seanfall]

Wow, that's the most insultingly narrow minded thing I have read in some time. Is this guy truly for real?

OMG you can have a gay relationship in a Star Wars game now! Surely these Christian extremist types should be more concerned with, oh I dunno, the idea of players having the ability to kill people?

*slow clap* I agree get me on the first shuttle to Hoth. And these christian people are the ones who way back when. Invented the Death Penalty. See this right here is my biggest problem with religion, so so so many of the Really Religious people I've met have been the most close minded people I've ever met. For them the world ends and begins in that little book and everything that is not in it is evil and the work of the devil. That's my issue it closes you off to questioning, to evolving and changing as a person. IMO I'm more concerned about rather or not someone's gonna kill me then if he or she may or may not be a homosexual. And it matters even less when said people ARE VIDEO GAME CHARACTERS!

But if we're "all God's children" then why the endless discrimination? Faith is important to some people, I get that, but how does "love thy fellow man" get twisted into "burn the unbeliever"?

*sigh*

Sometimes I don't understand some people. But more often when I finally do understand some people, I realise I really didn't want to.

 

[Sandjube]

Not surprised, but it's still annoying every time I read something like this.

But hey, watchagonnado.

 

[BabyRaptor]

As has been said about any game where relationships of any kind are optional...

If you don't like it, don't pursue it.

But if they just dropped it and lived their own lives, where would they get their "I'm better than you" fix?

On topic, this so-called family group has been officially labeled a hate group. Even if I didn't already think horribly of their stance, the fact that they're against it would be enough for me to support it.

 

[Yureina]

*yawns sleepily* Conservatives being conservatives. Blargh...

Some things i'll just never understand. I think Bioware should advertise this ability to potentially have gay/lesbian relationships in TOR. Just to piss these kind of people off. XD

 

[jurnag12]

Hey look, a right-wing fundamentalist promoting out-dated ethics and spewing bullshit. Never seen that before, have we?

 

[Darkmantle]

In a game where you can brutally murder someone, being gay ruins their family values the most? murder is okay in their family?
