Why do you, Chan, think it's your place to make judgements on what is right or wrong in the private sexual preferences of other people? What makes homosexuality any worse morally speaking than heterosexuality?
Oh, quit your whining! Why is it okay for people to express dislike for conservatives or religious people or skinheads or pedophiles or (insert other politically incorrect group here) but as soon as someone makes an unfavorable statement about a politically favored group, you people start whining? Get over yourselves! There is no right to not be offended.

Take my comment strictly within the context in which it was said and stop presuming to dictate to me what I can believe about homosexuals!

Rights are for individuals, not for groups. In the specific context of the United States of America (I realize this doesn't apply to you government-loving nanny staters over there in Europe), if you're born in the United States or are a naturalized citizen then you're an American and that is the only status I recognize. In terms of rights, I don't give a rat's behind what color you are or where your ancestors came from or how they got here. I don't care what religion you choose to practice or even if you choose to practice any religion at all. I don't care what your particular sexual proclivities are. Your rights are as an individual American.

But I damned well am not going to abide by any of this political correctness, diversity and tolerance crap, and you people who are so insistent on this garbage are the people who are preventing the end of racism and bigotry because you're promoting this divide and conquer mentality that keeps us from becoming one people.

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
