I'd like to think if you make bigoted statements then you are a bigot.

There are a lot of denominations of Christianity that don't believe these things. People just find the parts of any religion they like to support their own preconceived bigotries and biases. He is using religion as an excuse to be a bigot.

Does everyone have to support this announcement?
I completely respect Jason Collins for his courage to "come out", but have little respect for anyone that isn’t willing to accept opposing views on the issue.

I stand with and support Chris Broussard.

Freedom of speech is not freedom from criticism. He can say whatever bigoted hateful things he wants to, but I have a first amendment right to call him out on his bigotry.

And I have little respect for people who stand with bigots.

Lev_20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Lev 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

1Ki 14:24 And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

1Ti 1:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
1Ti 1:10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;

Jud 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

-------------------------------------------------------------

I stand with the Bible. I stand with God - the creator, and his son Jesus Christ who is my King.

I could care less how you think of me.

I don't hate any man as it is not my place to judge. That does not make being gay any less of an abomination.

We are all sinners though so hate the sin, but love the sinner. Pray for him to change.

Do you stand by this?

Corinthians 11:6

If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.

Does your mother, wife, sister, or daughter cover their heads? If not, do God's will and go cut off their hair.

More like hiding behind your religion. Listen, I'm all for people using religion as a way of giving themselves inspiration, strength and confidence. That's what religion/faith/spirituality is at its best. It's when people thump their Bibles when criticizing others and arguing against equal rights because that's how they did it 2000 years ago in the Middle East... that just pisses me off. It's like a passive-aggressive version of the WBC.

Westboro Baptist Church pickets Rockets v. Thunder last night in OKC to protest the NBA's having a gay player.

Don't know if this image will be clear but is this from LA Times story.

QUESTION was: Were ESPN analyst Chris Broussard's remarks offensive?
YES - 30% of votes cast (1,285 votes)
NO - 70% of votes cast (3,028 votes)

What matters is not your opinion, or my opinion, or Marcus Aurelius's opinion, or Chris Broussard's opinion. What matters is what is actually true.

What has the world come to when people give 2-craps about a sportswriter's opinion on anything. I'd almost rather hear what justin beiber has for breakfast.

The topic just went from "gay" to "too gay" - I don't think America is ready for that conversation yet...

From a religious perspective, that depends on the religion.

From a "what is actually true" perspective - that would depend on what is actually true.

Truth. Jason Collins is gay. Broussard is not a fan. The rest is opinion.

Simply saying you think homosexuality is a sin doesn't make anyone a bigot. Some people are perfectly capable of maintaining healthy relationships and friendships with people that don't share the same belief system. It's a foundation of our country.

If Broussard refuses to associate with homosexuals, refuses to treat them with respect and courtesy, then he's a bigot. But answering a question honestly doesn't necessarily make him one.

Also, citing Levitical law to uphold your opinion is a waste of time and breath, unless you're also down with owning slaves and punishing people for sleeping with their wives while they're on their period.

If you're going to denounce homosexuality, at least use the verses in the New Testament, it makes for a far more interesting debate.

Religion is a choice, although some say you are born into your religion. Sexual preference is genetics, although some people say it's a choice. How you deal with disagreement over these things is what matters. Hitler dealt with it very badly. Broussard kind of just stated his disagreement. I think he's deluded, but that's just my opinion.

exactly - why I didn't agree with original thread post. Not a bigot and I thought Chris B answered it well and subsequent comments by him also indicate there is not any bigotry in his statement or his conduct for anyone who is gay.

I had a step-brother who was gay and died of aids in 1984, a close relative who is gay, some friends who are gay, a fellow church member who is gay, a few co-workers who are gay. Friendly to all of them - and I pray for them.

Most of the bigotry I see in this thread is the bigotry towards Christians.
