I found this video and thought I'd share. Pretty old now, but I've only seen it today.

What do you think?

I thought it was great. The (sarcastic) points were pretty funny and actually hold up nicely as counterpoints to a lot of anti-homosexuality arguments. The editing was a tad annoying, but whatever.

The video I found quite humourous. Although I can't see posting it as anything else other than trollbait as it is rather... obnoxious at the same time. Some people will be too dumb to take it how its supposed to be taken and will see it as an attack against homosexuality.

Plus there is the fact its your very first post.

I dunno. My avatar is a rainbow, my name has rainbow in it and the video is supremely sarcastic. You really think it'll go over anyone's head? You think too little of your Escapst brothers and sisters! :p

A nice video. I saw it a while ago. But it's just another reminder that the youtube community posting comments is... not as good as they could be.

Yeah I do think it'll go over some peoples heads x)

Notice my post count to my join date, I don't post very often on here [compared to some users, I.E Dexiro who has been for a year and a half and has almost ten times the amount of posts I do] due to the fact that people get far too uppity and think they are taking the high ground, by arguing with you then dropping a report on one of your posts, leaving you with a dirty warning stain on an otherwise sterling profile. So yeah I skulk in the background, occasionally posting where I feel it might be safe :p

So yeah, a lot of people on the Escapist are dumb, and think everything has to be reported. I'm sure as shit you'll get some sort of rebuttal from this :p

I loved this video thank you for posting this.

It make good points bluntly I like that. So sad that I have known a few people like that but they were being real about it not to this extreme but still.

Well articulated. I'm surprised I haven't seent his before. I love the bit about America being a theocracy. That almost rings true seeing that it wasn't until recently that Wiccan soldiers had their religion recognized or were allowed to have a pentacle on their gravestones after dying for their country.
I don't know much about the Wiccan religion. From what I've seen it's centered around the idea that there is a female spirit type being (a mother) that created or is a large part of the universe -- almost druidic in nature. Seems like a religion to me. A religion based on love and, again with my little knowledge on the issue, one that is accepting of everyone. Kinda like a more theistic spiritualism and Buddhism, I think. Oh, and they believe in a sort of magic.

Why would anyone not wish to recognize that belief system as a religion?

I love it too. I'm not normally down with sarcasm, but it was pretty clever here.

I dont't hold anything againts gay people - what they do in their bedrooms is their problem.The video is good and the guy expreses some valid and som invalid reasons.

But I think we should ban gay pride parades.I can't imagine how you can gain support to your cause by dressing in abnoxiously coloured dress pretending to be a woman.Plus the word parade go buy a dictionary and find the meaning of that word.
I simply can't imagine that some people with any sence of moral would go around parading with their sexuality.

And again I will say that what gay people do in bed is their problem -I just don't like how some faggots try to shoff their ass in my face
It's a matter of opinion in this case; you dislike a small, vocal aspect of the community (those who are flamboyant and the more outlandish transgender people) but there is nothing wrong with them voicing that aspect of themselves. Just as you would be free to arrange a parade where you wear whatever you like and the such.

Different strokes for different folks and all that jazz.

Pretty sure that they don't consider it a problem. And how many 'faggots' actually try to shove their arses in your face? Or do you mean flaunt their sexuality?

OT: Thought the video was really good, made some very good points. Always a fan of sarcasm, so getting arguments across that way is always good

I saw this thread title, and was like "Oh, HELL no." and was fully ready to argue with you for the rest of the day.

Then I saw the video. I like it. Its my sort of humour (ie, mocking people by showing the idiocy in their opinions)

Welcome to the Escapist :)

I'm glad you counter the mention of flaunting sexuality. I've always found it interesting how a heterosexual talking about their girlfriend, holding hands with someone, talking about love and relationships in general or just hanging out with other people who happen to be heterosexual is fine and normal, but if a homosexual does those exact same things and hangs out with a group of friends who happen to be gay, they are flaunting their sexuality, lol. It either is or isn't, people! Make up your mind XD

You give some people a little too much credit, especially on such a touchy subject as homosexuality. I'm sure there will be at least a few people who will have only based their comment on the title of this thread.
And FUCK THOSE PEOPLE. Anyone who will comment in a thread without giving the OP so much as a cursory glance deserve the scorn and derision of their peers.

I agree with your sentiment. Though America has "freedom of religion" many of our laws and mores reflect our largely Puritan roots. A brief study of medieval and colonial history would reveal that witches were not well received or tolerated. Though Wicca is a modern religion with a hodgepodge of philosophies and influences, it is still highly linked to the witches of yore. A few years ago a judge actually forbade a pagan/Wiccan couple to raise their child pagan since the child's enrollment in a Christian school (the only private school accessible in the region) would "confuse" the child. I believe this is a gross abuse of the judge's power and the pagan community did have a petition to have that judge disbarred (last i heard it failed and the pagan couple actually had their constitutional freedom of religion violated.)
In order to keep this thread from being derailed I would like to make the assertion that persecution of homosexuals is actually a RELIGIOUS issue and violates the first amendment rights of homosexuals. Legally their should be no distinction between homo and heterosexuals and the persecution seems to come from a religious perspective. Should a portion of the population be persecuted because some people pick and choose parts of Leviticus? I find it funny that they are so concerned about homosexuality but care not for the prohibition of mixing wool and linen, not allowing the disabled to be priests (including those with poor vision!), and killing children who curse their parents. If a book is going to dictate how you live your life and especially how you enforce your views upon the lives of others, you shouldn't just pick and choose what you like based on your own aesthetic preferences. I feel bad that homosexuals (and pagans) have to suffer persecution based upon ancient and outdated mores that do not belong in modern society.
I wouldn't say it's a religious issue. There are religious groups that condemn homosexuality (with some Christian groups being possibly the most vocal here in the West) but religion itself (not the gods or rules that are worshiped therein) is created by men and reflects the feelings of those men. Ultimately it's an issue of hate. Religion is just used as a vessel all too often.

Exactly, it's a flawed argument: 'I don't mind what gay people get up to in their own home, but I don't want them parading it in front of me'. Yet it's fine for heterosexual people to do all the same things that people get upset about homosexuals doing in public. It's got to be all or nothing, to take offence at one and not the other is obviously to show prejudice.
