How many times have you a religious person come up to you or ring your doorbell asking to if they can bring God into your life? When was the last time you have a gay person come up to you and ask you to sit down and discuss homosexuality?
While driving through Missouri I have seen billboards promoting God. When was the last time you a billboard promoting gay sex?
Now who is trying to shove their religion down my throat?

"When was the last time you have a gay person come up to you and ask you to sit down and discuss homosexuality? "
It hasn't happened yet, but I can just about guarantee it'd be their LAST TIME.
"When was the last time you a billboard promoting gay sex? Now who is trying to shove their religion down my throat? "
You probably shouldn't be using the phrase "shove down my throat" anywhere near a post talking about gay sex. Gag.
But on a more serious note, your analogy is flawed. The Christian banging on your door wants to HELP you. The gay person ringing your doorbell is only trying to push an agenda for their OWN BENEFIT. If you were to convince me to become gay, it would not help me at all, but it could only help your CAUSE. If I were to convince you to becom Christian, YOU would be the one to benefit, not me. One is giving; one is taking.

I was just taking this at face value since there are some on this board that they first mention of homosexuality they assume it has to do with "pushing an agenda".
I find you description above flawed as well. You are trying to say the Christian person doesn't have an agenda while the gay person does. How do you know the Christian person is trying to help? That is only your opinion. I did not ask for any help so how could he/she be helping me?? Couldn't the gay person be "helping" you as well in that he/she is explaining what is it means to be gay. However, you chose to believe right away the gay person is trying to convince you to "turn gay". Suppose you were non-religious you could say the Christian is pushing you to convert to a become a Christian.
If both people in your example above just ring your doorbell and give you information you can't say one person has an agenda and the other one does not.

I find their lifestyle to be offensive. I’m not talking about any religious dogma, just my opinion. I think you’ll find many here feel the same way.
Please understand I wish them no harm.
I wish they would just go along with their lives and be happy.
I'm annoyed at the Agenda, pushing "their rights" to be gay, to marry etc.
Why do they deserve the taxation and insurance rights a man and women building a family have?
Why do I have to accept homosexuality as normal? It isn’t.
I believe it’s a mental malady.
I don’t believe that all gay people are bad people.
I don’t believe all gay people are child molester.
And LD, about all the ribbing and one lines, I’m just having a little fun with you. I hoped you could take a joke.
Straight men can.
Amen,

So tell me what other groups in America that push their agenda offend you? Where you offended by the African American people pushing their "agenda" for equal rights? Were you offended by the agenda to push for women's right?
Since you seem to know alot about the gay lifestyle what don't you inform the public exactly what the gay agenda is all about. I think it is time for that term to be properly defined because it has been around since the late 60's.
Why do they deserve the taxation and insurance rights a man and women building a family have?
Because it is granted by the Consitution - equal rights. Why should straight married couples be given special treatment?

Wow, I wonder how many gay people actually choose to be gay.
Oh that's right all those people back in the 1930's chose to be gay so they could be executed by Hitler.
Matthew Shepard chose to be gay so he could be beaten to death.
Gay people choose to be gay so we can listen to the religious bigots refer to us a deviants, be discriminated against and be referred to a second class citizens or in Colin's words not "real people".
Replay, you say you are homophobic, but your posts have suggested otherwise.
Now tells us when you were faced with the decision to be straight or gay, why you chose to be straight?
