Tell that to the persecuted, after you finish washing their blood from your hands. You're dealing with lives here, and you always have lacked a certain gravity, a certain awareness that you're dealing with real shit and not something that can be risked. Every moment those ads stay up, another person is shot, and you think you can accept that because of some tenebrous sense of higher moral fiber? Bullshit. This is fucking real, try to really comprehend that for a moment.
Do you think we should be able to put up signs saying "Go away ni****s"?
Recant, or we're done here.

The civil rights movements never used censorship, to the best of my knowledge. Look how far they've come. It is foolish, arrogant, bigoted, blind, and oh-so like a fundy to somehow claim superiority to near everyone and insist without proof that non-atheists are idiots.

Recant why? Because you've issued me an ultimatum without providing a shred of proof or rational thought? Stfu.

Where's your comeback? The one where you deny that you're allowing deaths? You don't have one, because you know that homosexuals will be killed for this, but you don't grasp the weight of it. You'd rather cling to a higher morality so that you can feel clean, and you need to stop. Think. Remove your anger for a second. You're dealing with lives, and you need to see that and stop being so selfish.

I cannot believe this advertising. As a gay man I am appalled at this but not surprised. I spent most of my adolescence coming to terms with being gay and it was not an easy road. Now I am in my forties and I finally have more confidence in who I am, but this sort of promotion scares me so much. I have come to the conclusion that the reason why religions hate homosexuals so much is due to the fact that they cannot procreate and therefore are unable to contribute to the populating of a particular religious order. We are of no use whatsoever to those religions who seeks to increase numbers. The fact that we are contributors to society as much as anyone falls on stoney ground and at the end of the day we are considered the lowest of the low. I consider myself a decent human being and would never wish harm to my fellow man/woman, but I really do fear for the future as religion seems to be becoming more and more dominant again.

I don't think the religious often think that far into it. Well, maybe the clergy do, but most people have been conditioned from birth to hate gay people for no reason. I agree, the bigotry is disgusting.
As for religion becoming more powerful. . .I'm not sure about world wide, but America is now more atheist than ever before in its history (still only at a stunning 10%, lol), but we at least haven't been moving backwards on the subject of religion.

I think everyone knows where I stand on issues like these, so I'll just remain quiet.
