Gays Persecuted Far More Than Christians

[Phatscotty]

All those pictures just reminded me of my own experience growing up. A whole neighborhood full of older boys, and they used to gang up on me, tease me, one time they tied me up. We were always fighting until one day I took my skateboard and cracked it across this older kids back with all my might, and then we became friends.

Are you equating adultery and disrespecting your parents to being gay?

I'm equating that according to the OT, they are all worthy of death. I am in no way equating their worthiness of being considered sins in my own ethics.

Are hundreds of thousands of gays being murdered every year? If no then it's not comparable. A couple of Russians is not an epidemic. To quote your contribution to my thread: "you can find outliers anywhere".

And as Mets mentioned in the other thread, 90,000 of those per annum deaths are committed by other Christians.

Of all hate crimes in the United States, 22% are committed from anti-gay bias.

Consider that the homosexual population of the United States is around 3%. That means, their persecution on hate crimes is far higher (7x that of standard percentages) than other groups.

The OAS has found that 39 LGBT people have been targeted and killed in the last month (in the Americas alone).

Gay teenagers are considered four times more likely to commit suicide than their straight counterparts. With suicide in their age group at approximately 30,000 a year. Approximately 22,500 of those are gay suicides. http://www.fiercegoodbye.com/?S=2

Nearly 20% of Taiwanese gay people have attempted suicide: http://archive.is/na4s

The percentages are ridiculous.

China has one of the highest suicide rates in the world, gay or otherwise.

China has one of the highest suicide rates in the world, gay or otherwise.

Fine, then, Chinese > gays > Christians. Happy?

Actually, lets see, so, approximately 22,500 per year are gay suicides. At a population of 317 million (estimated http://www.census.gov/popclock/), of which 3% are gay (according to the CDC). But lets use the made up 10% figure (it helps you), that's 32 million people are gay. That comes out to 70 per 100,000. While China is at 22.23 per 100,000. http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/ar ... dd1b34.8f1

Then it's Gays > Chinese > Christians.

[_sabotage_]

If there are 30,000 suicides each year and 22,500 are gay, and they are 4 times more likely to commit suicide then

22500/4= 5625. 30,000 - 22500 = 7500

5625 + 7500 = 13125. 5625 of 13125 = 42.8% of teenagers are gay.

Or is it 3% or the 10%? I'm confused: should we attack Iran or not?

Why is everyone choosing to play the Oppression Olympics here?
This is why the cycle doesn't end. The Russian governments have played this game for ages; blame the religious, blame the foreigner, blame the dissident. All so that they can keep the people from blaming their own corruption filled government.

Without justice, anarchy and mob mentality boils over, you see that sort of thing all over Eastern Europe.

They're ready to attack pedophiles...
Drug dealers...
...Even rude motorists.

Do we really need more scapegoats?
