I'm sure this will happen for the rest of humanity's existence, like any other reason for murder.
Doesn't mean that homosexuals are being persecuted.
What exactly has a gay 16-year-old virgin done to deserve being kicked out of the house, from your point of view? They haven't made any poor decisions. Not even by your standards.And people are kicked because they are druggies, attacked because they are druggies, and killed because they are druggies.

Are you saying it's reasonable to kick your underage child out of the house when it becomes apparent that he or she will not be giving you grandchildren...?The only reason they are happier is because society now condones their lifestyle. But you see, their parents are not the rest of society- they are their parents. And they wanted to be grandparents_
...People being targeted and abused/mistreated for a specific reason -in this case sexuality- is kind of the definition of persecution...
So every time a person kills a homosexual, that should be a reason for me to assume a grand scale persecution which I should be assuming is happening?
No, not every time a person kills a homosexual. If the fact that the victim is homosexual is the primary reason for them being killed, then yes. But sometimes, homosexuals get murdered for other reasons. That wouldn't count as persecution.
Homosexuals also tend to be serial killers, but let's not make a spectacle of that.
Instead, let's talk about how there's allegedly a persecution going on with homosexuals, who don't seem to be exactly tip toeing to the gay bars
Out of which sewer do you dredge up this garbage? "Tend to be serial killers"??
Please tell me your involvement here is some form of a joke? A bet? Frat initiation?
You cannot possibly be for real.
Out of just a few percent of the population, I see things which, if were among all men, would destroy us.
Homosexual Serial Killers
Yes, I thought that piece might be the one you were looking at.
Two things.
1. You said "homosexuals tend to be serial killers". What you meant to say is that serial killers tend to be homosexual. The first indicates that most gay men are serial killers which, even for you, is ridiculous.
2. If you'd bothered to read ALL that article, you would see that the author makes the point that the numbers of serial killers is too small to make significant statistical observations about their sexuality!. It would be like throwing 2 coins in the air and they both came down heads. Should we draw from this that the odds of throwing a head is always 100%? No, we would conclude that the number of trials was too small and that we'd need a much larger sample.
But don't let either of these get in the way of your bigotry, will you?
I don't care for the article. You see, it's hard to copy and paste the list in it because it's in a certain format.
Nothing good comes out of the homosexual community.
Even the homosexuals in the holy clergy are using the rites of sacramental wine to seduce little boys; damnable sacrilege.
You tell me a positive of homosexuality which justifies it's negatives.
One thing I notice about ethical conversations with Christians is they can give me a non religious explanation for Christian ethics - except when it comes to Gay Marriage, in which case their opposition seems to rest entirely on a handful of bible verses.
Can anyone provide a reason for opposing gay marriage - without invoking scripture or theology?
We know all to well the negative psychological effect of a child being fatherless or motherless.
A child with 2 fathers is still motherless and a child with 2 mothers is still fatherless.
A child's best chance at proper psychological development, statistically speaking is in a stable home with a mother and a father.
The latest research on the effects of children with homosexual parent seems to verify as much. A child in a house hold with homosexual parents, compared to that of a child in a household with a mother and a father, are among other things more likely to:
- Use drugs
Encounter sexual abuse
Drop out of school
Become homosexual themselves
To be arrested
To suffer from depression
To be unemployed
When you break down the family unit, society is soon to follow. This is why defending the institution of marriage is so important. This pertains not only to so called gay marriage, but also to the culture of divorce prevailing today.

As has been mentioned before, this is a thread for secular arguments against same-sex marriage. It is not about arguments related to parenting.
Bonus for the source being a religious organisation classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, focused entirely on spreading anti-gay propaganda.
I bet they're not biased at all

I take my research from actual psychologists and scientists that study this subject, not some crazy group that uses "evidence" that isn't peer reviewed or verified in any way but in their own heads
