Homosexual activists understand the power of words.

Please visit my channel to watch a one-minute video clip in which popular atheist author Richard Dawkins admits that homosexual activists "hijacked the word 'gay'".

The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate because it, unlike the word "gay", actually describes the behavior/attraction/relationsh­ip being discussed.

The word "gay" helps homosexual activists push their agenda.

@JJTechnologies you are so arrogant... anyone who disagrees with you must be attacked! i hope you get cancer. i hope your whole family gets it!  i would piss on their graves! hahahahahahahahhaha

@JJTechnologies anyone who believes in astrology is a moron. im sorry your dad raped you every fathers day and that makes you so angry you have to threaten people over the internet but it doesnt change the fact this guy is flake.

@kakashi76767 you call Mullis retard? :) You don't even know who you're talking about, or you're too dumb to even bother checking. go and google PCR and what kind of impact it had on the development of technology and medicine and than come back ... kaka

[JJTechnologies]

@Ipickmynosesometimes heh - don't bother even ... .bothering your mind with idiots like kaka76:) Maybe some people have problems with writing but others have a problem with READING and LISTENING with understanding. BTW - I strongly recommend to be careful with dissing anything this great man says. Regardless of the subject. He's purely on a different wavelenght and light years in front of 'ordinary joe'. He's a pure genious

@kakashi76767 -_____- Logic has nothing to do with correct grammer and spelling. Yes, I didn't want to open another window because I just wanted to get my point across, not worry about spelling and grammer...Again, your not even arguing anymore your just attacking me. That's another logical "FALLACY". (Happy?) Anyway, don't even bother replying, your most likely a close minded idiot. Before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean. (Yay Bob Marley)

[kakashi76767]

@Ipickmynosesometimes Don't talk to me about logic if you don't know how to spell "fallacy". Not only are you stupid, but you are too lazy to google the word in another window to make sure it's spelled correctly.

[Ipickmynosesometimes]

@kakashi76767 That's a logical fallicie and has nothing to do with his work.

[kakashi76767]

@webbous100 whoever believes in astrology is retarded; therefore, it is safe to discount everything else he says

@kakashi76767 What does astrology have to do with Biochemistry?
