I'd suggest that Teh Gays (c) remember that the important audience in public BS like this is Straight People Who Are Still Unsure About Whether Gays Are OK Or Not. I think that straights are going to see it the way we're seeing it and it's not helpful to your side. You are sounding like being gay is something people can be labeled as seemingly randomly (most people's gaydar is no good and they aren't going to believe a bunch of gays when they point at people and yell "He's gay!"). That plus everything else that's been said here.
Also, the point of whether he's gay or not is completely moot. No one should care whether he's gay or not - that's the point of equality. What matters is what he's saying.
Debate facts, not personalities. As Alex said, Ad Hominem Fallacy.
Besides, if one believes that being gay is an illness or curse that needs curing, then this asshole is a HERO for facing his issues head on, right? |
ETA - Alex beat me to it.
