... OH MY FUCKING GOD.

I was browsing the IMDB Brokeback Mountain page earlier today only to
come across some things so appalling I just needed to share them, these
are all in response to an article someone posted in which Heath Ledger
called the cinema owner in Utah that canceled the showing of the film
"immature", not the word I would use but you get the point. (emphasis
mine)
"Very immature? For a society to stand up for something they believe in? Why should you support gays if you don't believe in their lifestyle. Obviously you don't attack them, but you sure as hell don't support them. Lets all be sensitive and put aside our beliefs so we don't hurt other peoples feelings. Oh, I'm scared, what if people call me a bigot. Unbeleivable. I'm sick of this oversensitivity. Its Millers theatre, he can do what he wants. End of discussion. Lets admit it, people who support gay lifestyles are just moving closer to embracing that lifestyle themselves. Tolerance, yes. But not at the expense of moral beliefs. I'm going to go throw away my Knight's Tale DVD now"
At least that person can string a sentence together...
"...Also it's obvious God is real, when people think they are gay it's in their heads not their hearts. Satan is putting his mind into theirs tricking them, it's called temptation. I may not believe in the ways of them but I will still be friend them because I don't judge a friend by what they do or any of that. I am just stating an obvious fact that there is no way in hell evolution is real. I think that it's obvious a man and woman belong together on so many levels. One might think they're gay but they're really not, it's the society making people think they are."
Don't you all wish you had friends like this?
"im glad they did it. The movie is very impressonable. It could make kids and whoever think that being gay is alright, when it is not. That is the most unnatural thing that goes on with humans, even more so than substance abuse. One thing makes me feel better....that they will infact not breed and multiply, but they will multiply not by breeding, but by society gradually accepting it. Im not saying prison, rights and all that. Im saying we should acknowledge it as wrong. Gladly, about 70% of america is against gay marriage."
...Yeah.
My response right now is simply "..." some people make my head hurt. I don't think I need to say anything, I guess these speak for themselves pretty well.

I know these people exist, but every time I see evidence of their views, my brain once more fails to cope with the reality of said existence.
It's just... deeply upsetting to me that a part of my sexual nature is apparently so abhorrent to people. Why is it so important to them that I only date and sleep with men?
