    Christians are victims?

    What a laugh! More like victims of righteous fervor. I'm gay, why should I have anything but contempt for these people when it is obvious I will ever be despised? If dominion ever came into the equation I would raise lions and host a pit as a side business! At least then there would be a legitimate outcry.
