You mother fuckers. I'd beat you all with a fucking bat just because of this shit. You all are inbred shit hooks.

You have been blocked and reported.

How can people have so much hatred inside them

[WhiteTiger333]

*struggling to breathe* Just when we think it's safe to go back in the water. But for all the spirit-numbing hatred and violence, there is the life-affirming solidarity of good people, as well.

C'mon, next generation! Sending you a thousand blessings to break free of the murky depths of bigotry and blind hatred, using god as an excuse to behave as a demon.

If this wasn't so tragic it would be almost funny. Its horrendous that anyone could be so full of hatred towards another human being simply for being attracted to their own gender. This extremism is a very backward step for the people of this planet. A very important piece of film for those of us who live in countries where this sort of public display is not tolerated.

COUNTERS TO THE POINTS IN THE FIRST PART OF THE VIDEO:

"wrong behaviour" How descriptive lol... another unjustified negative conotation.

"Abnormal, wrong, unnatural perverse" Perverse and abnormal are effectively the same thing, wrong in what way? Youtube is unnatural.  You can be abnormally kind, compassionate or loving.

Reproduction: infertile people, the elderly, those who choose not to have kids, vows of celebacy, oral sex, etc etc

[Jamieishere1]

Homosexual indoctrination: sexuality isnt a choice so nobody can be "recruited" and scientific studys show no notable change in the gay population.

"Gods gonna bring judgement" then let him... leave it to him to judge

"and they want to tell our kids that homosexuality is good and normal" no, they want to tell your kids that there is nothing wrong with it. It is neither good nor bad and its normalicy is irrelevant.

Go fuck yourself with a machete

[jamietfranklin]

actually, older adults voted overwhelmingly against it, because they remember the bad old days of the KKK in Oregon. It was younger people who voted for it, because of the campaign language: special rights. same used against blacks, Catholics, and Asians previously to discriminate against them.

What I love the most was the rallying of all minority groups with the gay community. Something we don't see enough of today.

[hackensac]

Did you notice that most of the people voting on YES were practically ancient?

[phatman808]

I get the feeling that someday, we (Americans) are going to look back on this with the same attitude we now have toward the Jim Crow laws. I'm glad my fellow Oregonians didn't let this pass.
