Homosexuals want rights for their preference. They want equal rights because of what they sexually prefer.
Because those of us who, believe the scripture, (Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:13 ) say anything against their sin, we're called names like "homophobic, hate bashers and intolerant" of what should be kept behind closed doors! Not set up as a foundation for rights. You already have rights here in America! The same rights as anyone here.
It's their intolerance of man with woman, woman with man that has pushed everything phobic to a new level. They are demanding a change in the function of American education, entertainment and a backward way of family life.
The new religion of political correctness is pushing Americans in a dialogue bondage of expressing and explaining what things are and the way we see it. We're called names for saying a name.
Christianity and other beliefs that homosexuality is a sin are the ones not being tolerated, hated and even accused of "being dangerous' just for saying what the bible says is wrong!
We are being stripped of our rights to say anyone is wrong.
Please don't even place sadistic and perverted acts of others in the same category of "saying" what we believe as the media does so extreme and dogmatic.
I would never hurt a homosexual for being homosexual. My uncle is gay, I love him very much and would probably hurt anyone who physically hurt him for that. However, the truth of homosexuality can be very painful for those who are blinded by lust.
Homosexuality is clearly condemned by the Bible.

It goes against the created order of God. He created Adam and then made a woman. This is what God has ordained and it is what is right.
Unlike other sins, homosexuality has a severe judgment administered by God Himself. This judgment is simple: They are given over to their passions. That means that their hearts are allowed to be hardened by their sins (Romans 1:18ff). As a result, they can no longer see the error of what they are doing. Without an awareness of their sinfulness, there will be no repentance and trusting in Jesus. Without Jesus, they will have no forgiveness. Without forgiveness, there is no salvation.
Leviticus 18:22
"Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable."
