Isn't is terrible when the few can make the masses cringe and stop someone else giving a different spin on the belief they try and bully people to accept as normal if they do not comply to their beliefs
You mean like how the increasingly marginal fringe of the British public that is actively Christian can still peddle the idea that there's something immoral about gay people to the point that they'll campaign against giving orphaned or abandoned children a loving home? Like that, you mean?
Franklin Graham I have not heard speak. But if he says he believes being Homosexual us wrong or that Islamic beliefs which cause the 9/11 or the Manchester arena bomb is wrong is that really a wrong belief or homophobic and racist.
No, yes and arguably, depending on whether you intepret 'racism' to include the broad cross-over between religion and cultural practices in areas dominated by those religions. Just like most Western Christians would decry the violence meted out on gay people in Uganda, would decry 'corrective rape' of lesbians in South Africa even whilst the perpetrators report their motivations as explicitly implementing their Christian belief, so there are entire communities of Muslims who suggest that terrorists claiming Islam as their motivation are corrupting that faith.
NO it isn't because the trust is that Islam kills their homosexual men immediately in their own country.
No, the truth is some countries that are predominantly - or even officially - have an intepretation of Islam that mandates severe punishment for homosexuality just like some countries that are predominantly Christian do. That doesn't put the blame on to Christianity or Islam; an ideology can't pull a trigger, can't open a trapdoor, can't pick up the lash - people are responsible for these actions, and whilst they can cite religion as their motivation so others can oppose them in the name of exactly the same nonsense.
Is he racist for believing this to be wrong?
My personal feeling, no, just crass and obnoxious.
As for homosexuality if we being not homosexual believe sex between men and women right does that mean that homosexuals are heteraphobic is to be scared of being straight?
Does being one cancel the other and vice versa.
So much fail in so little space is impressive. Homosexuality is about feeling attraction for people of the same sex, it doesn't involve taking the entirety of the straight world hostage and forcing them to take part - homophobia is about feeling the need to impose restrictions gay people's right to the exact same conduct as straight people. I'm not aware of any significant attempt by gay people to do that the other way.
You would really want to be forced to have sex with a woman because someone believes it is the only way?
If you want a discussion about people being forced into sexual servitude there's an active discussion about all those Biblical references to unmarried women in conquered countries being taken as slaves that you can go and attempt to defend, if you wish.
Sexuality is different for us all. But what is wrong is if you treat them differently because of that sexuality and if you try to force others to believe that all is right when they do not believe it is.
And Mr Graham wants exactly that. He supported North Carolina's proposition to prohibit gay marriages and gay domestic partnerships, supported Russia's ban on depicting gay relationships as normal or acceptable, and advocates for the long-disproven torture/treatment methodology of 'conversion therapy' being inflicted on gay people.
A persons beliefs do not make them homophobic or a bigot if they do no harm.
Actually, yeah they do. It becomes problematic when they're publicly broadcast, when they're given any sort of official or social sanction, because that does active harm, that tells gay people that this sort of attitude is considered acceptable.
But you support the belief he is racist to Islam when people acting under the banner murdered innocent men, women and children of all ages, Tells me something is wrong with your way of thinking. Stop using homophobia and racism and come up with an argument against the mans beliefs.
That is the argument against his beliefs - he advocates for discrimination against against gay people because they're gay, he taints all Muslims with the extremist brush, but wipes clean all Christians of the same taint.
