Rick Santorum says gays are at fault.

[Heywood]

As DQ said, the reason people who argue against gay rights are labeled bigots and homophobes is that they ARE bigots and homophobes.

When you seek to deny to others the rights you yourself enjoy, you're a bigot, plain and simple. When you seeks to deny these rights to gay people for no other reason than that they are gay, you're a bigoted homophobe. Deal with it.

Yeah...and people who are engaged in sodomy are sodomites. No need to tell us something we don't already know.

The point is the gay rights community engages in a tactic of verbal abuse specifically to silence/shame the opposition. Such tactics, while effective, stifle discussion.....which in my opinion.....makes them underhanded.

Hey, we have to call a mix of lube, sperm and feces SOMETHING !!!

Your thread title is a little dishonest. Santorium is giving the reason why his side is losing the culture war.

There is some truth to what he says. If you argue against gay rights your labeled a bigot, or homophobe, people boycott you or your business if you're in such a position, etc. Its virtually impossible to espouse a contrary view point without taking a lot of abuse. Consequently the discussion gets stifled and only one view point is heard.

Interesting.. So how do the "gay lover's" manage to "stifle the discussion?"

Do christians not counter "bigot" with "sinner?"
Do christians not boycott or break boycotts?
Do christians not have the courage to "get in the face" of those demanding rights?

They certainly do these, and yet unfortunately for you, the real reason the conversation gets "stifled" with the accusation of bigotry is because the bigotry is obvious to even many "christains" and the fight to hate because the bible tells you so has left a sour taste in their mouths.

Calling gays, disgusting, sinners, hellbound , etc is a despicable tactic too....for the same reason....it stifles the discussion.

Do you have sufficient examples of this to justify accusing 'the gay rights community' of it?
