It's disgusting that "pro-family" is a term used to identify homophobes, amirite?

I actually made a comic today about homosexual adoption. What a coincidence.

And they can't make families of their own because it's fairly obvious that it only counts as a family if the children are the couple's biological children.

That's why we don't allow adoption at all, you see.

I love that!
You're a really good artist.

@Adonis: That was are really sweet comic. I love it!

Thank you both ahhh

Awh it made me cry why am I so emotional. ;u;

There's a new image post that the original comment got a TON of upvotes that didn't make sense...when and why did it do that? ( http://amirite.net/737619 )

I see... And I guess it's just Ant who can do that, then.

Probably either ActionMan made it like that for a short period of time, or it was Photoshoped/changed by a Chrome app by the poster.

I'm going to use that in every day talk but I wont give you any credit for it. Not because you don't deserve it but if I tell people I heard it from a flying guinea pig I might get institutionalized.

That is a perfect analogy.

Yes people do. Like fore example there is a political party in Australia that is called "Family First" and it is extremely homophobic, they call themselves "pro-family" but really they are just pro-traditional family.

Exactly, like FlyingGuineaPig and AnneArky were saying, they're just trying to mask the fact that it's blind hatred by making it sound like a positive thing.

I hadn't either until today.There was an advertisement on the side of my news feed on Facebook and it said something like "Stand up and vote, be pro-family!" I figured it was something bigoted, so I looked it up and sure enough, it's a term for those against gay rights.

Oh, I see. Probably one of those things where they try to make it sound like a nice harmless thing, not preventing people from getting married.

Still horrible though.

This isn't the exact site the ad took me to, but it's kind of the same idea. If I find the original site I saw, I'll link it too, but it was mostly just a couple buttons where you could vote for/against stuff.
Here's another one: http://www.defendthefamily.com/ Ugh, it makes me sick. People like this are why everybody thinks all Christians are bigoted.

I'm not "pro-family", but youtube really shouldn't have banned it. whatever happened to freedom of speech on the Internet?

One more thing: http://ctrlv.in/115768
Discuss.

I don't know. I think if you don't consider it a family when the parents are gay, that's discrimination against homosexuals.
But it also has to do with the fact that everyone who calls themselves "pro-family" is homphobic. I've visited several "pro-family" websites, and all of them referred to homosexuality as a curse/disease/epidemic in one way or another.

k, well, let's not generalize, homophobes aren't actually as rampant in society as people seem to think.

I never said they were, I was only talking about this specific group.

I don't support native american rights, but I'm not a racist either.

(Sigh)

However, both are bad. "I'm not a homophobe, but I disagree with gay marriage" is like saying "I didn't shoot him in the face, I just shot him in the leg." The latter being better, but not that much better, than the former.

I feel like if you go out to specifically vote against gay marriage, you're a homophobe. Being against them is fine and your opinion, but to actually restrict them by law is a different story.

I understand that, and I totally respect everybody's opinion on the matter, but the fact that they're calling themselves "pro-family" as if it doesn't count as a family when the parents are gay is what makes it homphobic.

Actually that's not how it works.
Homphobia=hating gay people and wanting nothing to do with them, thinking it's disgusting, etc.
Disagreeing with gay marriage=simply believing that marriage specifically should be between a man and a woman.
