Thread title: "Big drop in those who say being gay's a sin, study says."
Here is what A DUer posted:
"Stll consider it a sin. in a certain form
But as one Black pastor pointed out on CNN or one of those.. if one is a Red letter Christian of which I am. Jesus never actually went there. So knowing that the Old Book is a history book and nothing more. Since it's the new book we are to follow. Can't say this out loud much more. Such as I've been told looking at nude significant others isn't an actual sin if neither person is married (gets tricky if she is and she's doing it anyway) (this from a college Professor at a rather right leaning Lutheran college. ) And they considered that less of a sin than being Gay. Many of whom I think are more BI than Gay. Although this seems to be the case more in females than males. (seems to be.. ie only Elton John do I know to be Bisexual. )"

So I have to say, Irishman complains about posts critical of sexual abuse and bigotry and yet when LGBT people read such posts as the one above, I don't see all that many LGBT posters saying 'you are all bigots' to the faith community. 'less of a sin than being gay, many of whom are more BI than gay'.
Just saying. If we were all as touchy as Irishman, DU would be empty. Or is it ok to smear gay people, as that post does and as Francis does, but just not ok to object to such bullies? What's the actual standard?
