I'm going to be honest here and admit that whenever I hear about "gay bashing" I automatically ignore it and assume it's just political crybabying. I mean c'mon, if anyone says they don't agree with the decision to engage in homosexual activity it's called gay bashing. This is the same thing people who join cults do. Disagreement is not persecution. If there is real gay bashing going on it's a shame that it can't be taken seriously because 99% of the the alleged "gay bashing" is not.
