You can still call a christian of any faith any name you want, and absolutely nothing will ever happen.

Word Game

It is unfortunate that this coach used the term. It is equally unfortunate to consider the tone people use to describe groups. I'm amazed how it's OK to talk about religious people as "those people" or "them" in such antagonistic tones while taking offense to terms used to describe politically active or otherwise maligned groups. Sympathy for one does not justify hypocrisy toward others, even in the state of Utah. All the talk about the Hawaii coach is about the gay community and hardly about Notre Dame which was the real target of his comments.

Name Game

Gay's never demean straight people?

Repub's never demean Dem's?

It's only hurtful when straight people demean gays?

A gay person has never demeaned a football player?

If I'm looking to get offended, I will probably find someone to do the job!

Good Grief!

He should have called it a homosexual dance. Then he would not offend them.

what's this got to do with Religion?

Hypocrites

Which is worse:

- The Hawaii coach using this gay slur, or
- Churches spending millions in dollars and time to keep gay people from having equal rights?

I'd say the latter.

I find it amazing how religions can participate in such horrible behavior, yet think they are actually good people. If the shoe was on the other foot, and some Christian lawmakers in Texas tried to make LDS marriages illegal based on marriage (spiritually or otherwise) is between 1 man and 1 woman, members of the LDS church would fight against that. And rightfully so. I'd oppose it as well. Yet the LDS church supports the same thing when it is directed at a different group. Selfish hypocrisy. Horrible behavior.

For real?

This is absolutely ridiculous. He said a mean word? OH THE HORROR!!! Get over it PC brigade.
