If they are being indecent in public via nudity, then yes, something should be done about that. But forgive me for not judging an entire group of people based on a parade.

None of which would be necessary if you people would just let them live their lives and leave them alone.
I am absolutely in favor of live and let live so long as the innocent and the vulnerable are protected.
Perhaps I might direct your attention, again, to the gay couple who decided to not allow a Christian baker to live and let live?
This knife cuts both ways.

Racism inside the LGBTQueer movement that you represent has been well documented elsewhere. Right now we're talking about a behavior, one that Holy Scripture detests but forgives with the act of repentance, not someone's skin color.

With all due respect TOL moderator bybee, what is the basis for your live and let live worldview, i.e. does it come from The Holy Bible or the doctrine/ideology of libertarianism?

Funny how none of you Christians here were up in arms when a Christian was awarded $325,000 by the state of Oregon after it was determined that he was illegally discriminated against by his boss for being Christian.
Or does "live and let live" only apply to gays?
Do tell what employment issues have to do with churches being forced to marry what goes against its very beliefs?

Pay better attention. I responded to Bybee's post about the Christian bakery owners.
The ones who sued werent employees, you still have an apples and oranges argument.
You mean like gays letting christians live their lives and be left alone when they dont agree to be forced into their bedroom?

Oh, I must have missed that story. Gays forcing Christians into their bedrooms? Eurghhh. Is 'sell me a cake' a vile gay euphemism for 'you will come and stand in my bedroom or else' now?

Both cases were about illegal discrimination.
Apparently when Christians file a complaint of illegal discrimination and are granted an award, that's just fine.
But when gays file a complaint of illegal discrimination and are granted an award, that's just awful and shows how evil those gays are.
Tribalism at its best....
False. Its actually discrimination for a gay to force someone to create something for them against their constitutonally protected religious beliefs and if one is going to scream stay out of our bedroom and leave us alone, they cannot also force you to agree and participate in what goes on there.
They are hypocrites.

Maybe it is the way you worded this post, but I don't understand the point you are trying to make.
What part is a mystery?

Can you please restate what you said for clarity? I can try to guess what you meant but I would prefer not to.
Sorry, not getting what you don't get.

This statement, are you trying to say homosexuals are forcing themselves into the bedrooms of Christians?
There needs to be a lobby pushing to amplify 'equal protection', which society clearly has transgressed.
For example, there was an incident of a man who owned a bar. He was not religious, and had no problem with LGBT. When he opened his bar, however, it had been taken over by cross dressers and potential customers were walking in and back out thinking it was a gay bar.
Upon telling them that they are hurting his business, he was robbed of his finances by the Department of Labor and forced to compensate them for emotional damages. All in all, it bankrupted his business assets and he was forced to close down.
