Fischer argued that discrimination based on behavior is justified and absolutely appropriate

I actually agree with this part - you totally have the right as an individual to not associate with people whose behavior you disagree with. You don't like gays? Fine, don't associate with them. You don't like right-wing loonies? Again, fine, don't associate with them.

The problem most social conservatives have is that they believe that there is an objective reason for their disapproval - since their god claims homosexuality is wrong, it must be wrong, and therefore, they are justified in discriminating against gays.

Unfortunately for them, "my god says so" isn't an objective criterion. For it to be one, first you'd have to prove that your specific interpretation of a god exists - something that various groups have been trying to do for millenia with no success. Given that, using religion as a justification for legal discrimination is wrong in a secular society.

Until the right wing can show a non-religious reason that homosexuality is wrong, they can't insist on legal discrimination against gays. To date (so far as I know), no one has provided such a reason.

You can be the judge all you want. Just don't try to be the hangman.

@Justanotheratheist: Unfortunately, according to Fisher and Co., you can kill 'three' wives (or sleep with your mistress while your current wife is in the hospital with cancer) and still be in god's favor, as long as you repent to Jeebus on your death bed. *groan*

@Arianna:

-Heterosexuals get AIDS, too. In fact, lesbians are the lowest-risk group for ANY STD. The fastest-growing group for AIDS is heterosexual men.
-Pedophilia occurs most often in straight, married, white men. Second in line are straight women, I believe.
-Pederasty: see Pedophilia; also, the Catholic Church.

You are lying. I suspect you know you are lying. You're just trying to justify your bigotry. Hate is an abominable thing, and you are abominable for acting as if it's a positive attribute.

True, I don't know what Dr. King's position was on homosexuality.

Pity he's not still around so we could ask him.

So before Bryan Fischer has sex, he honestly thinks to hiimself "Well, I could have a big harry man hole in front of me....sounds good....meh...I guess I will just go with the woman hole this time" - because he chooses his orientation right?
