Here is my current view on homosexuality and here is the angry response that the person who made the video received and the defense of her and her video.

I find it disgusting how some people treat those who respectfully disagree with homosexual sex. I'm glad people on this forum are more respectful (with a couple exceptions) then the people who gave such negative responses to the first video.

In response to the clip and it's fallout rather than your post...

If she decided to post a video that she knew to be offensive and ill-thought out to the rest of the world, then she should have expected anger. Personally, I felt my anger rising watching it. Especially the bit where she talks about finding out a "loved one" was gay.

 I'm sure she expected anger, but not that much anger. If the level and type of insult contained in the unfriendly comments are largely due to her being a pretty young woman, how was she supposed to predict that? As far as I can see, that latter statement doesn't agree with the former. Why should she have expected those types of comments? That doesn't make sense.

 Again if you re-read what I said I made no mention of she should "have expected those types of comments", I merely said she should have expected an angry response. I'm sure she never thought for a second that there were soooo many horrible people out there but she must have realised that feathers would be rustled on some level.

I hate that too many people seem to not see the tipping point between protest and harrasment/abuse. e.g. If you picket somebody's house/place-of-work everyday it's harrasment (For whatever issue) it was only a protest on day one, they heard you the first time.

A few of us SW fans can have a reasonable debate inside this thread, inside this forum, inside this website. But I wouldn't go spouting off on public forums like YouTube and Twitter or whatever to thousands/millions of complete strangers.
