  1. no doubt there are heterosexual parents that don’t know how to raise
    children, and they should either taught how to or lose their children. but
    that’s no reason to give gays the right to raise children.

    like some hetros need to be taught how to be parents, gays need to be
    taught how to be men and women.

    the foundation of humanity is marriage, sex and family. that can only be
    done with a man and a woman. it is impossible for two men to impregnate a
    man, or two women to impregnate a woman.

    it’s rather funny to see professors try to explain why the gay life is
    normal. it’s like eating food by sticking it in your ear instead of your
    mouth…

  2. This one brought a tear to my eye–such passion and brilliance, and so
    clearly right.

  3. This is just something that someone said to me.

    “You believe in gay rights, you must be gay”
    I say:
    “I believe in animal rights, but you don’t see me walking round like a
    fucking alpaca!” 

  4. for those of you who are leaving homophobic comments here.. dont bring up
    `bible’ or ‘god’ as your anti gay excuse. I see no logical reason why being
    gay is unnatural thing or immoral thing whatsoever just by seeing you guys
    bringing up your own personal beliefs. 

  5. He annihilated every single opposition argument in eight minutes.
    Brilliant. 

  6. This is absolutely stupid. Being a gay parent brings so much wrong into a
    family. It messes everything up, it confuses a child. They (as children)
    don’t know where to go sexually, and are afraid to make an independent
    choice. Adam and EVE, not Adam and STEVE. You WILL be judged on judgement
    day, and I don’t like to say this but, you WILL go to ETERNAL HELL, unless
    you repent of your old SINFUL ways.
    God Bless(:

  7. I think you have mistaken (or else very slyly interconnected) a persons
    non-breeding status – unwillingness or inability to procreate for whatever
    combination of reasons (maybe ethical, social, political, economic, or
    genetic) – with the homosexual lifestyle of faeries in tutus or whatever
    the 21st century politically-correct equivalent may be. Using oration,
    rhetoric and fancy dinner jackets to mask and misrepresent some harsh
    truths, like being born into debt. With the ever-rising extortionist costs
    of an education as entrance fee, just for a position in society. For that
    we are expected to be eternally grateful to our parents, our divine
    creator, and all other benefactors, patrons and patriarchs of society? Good
    grace and gratitude is a virtue that I myself hold in high esteem, but only
    when it’s called for

  8. 5:40 queer people are better than normal people? Sounds like normal people
    are the ones being discriminated against now. Bigots!

  9. I pray for your soles. You know that homosexuality is wrong. All a person
    has to do is look In your heart and you know it’s wrong.
    

  10. Writing this as I watch.
    I’m completely shocked at his comment about “who cares if the parents turn
    the kid gay.” He correctly pointed out that the question being born or
    choosing to be gay is too big for that debate, but he could have just
    stated his view that people are born gay and not touch it further. I want
    to write something about how wrong that is to approve that gay parents
    would influence children to be gay. But then my counter voice says, ” Why
    is it bad to be gay??” While I have my own views on homosexuality, in the
    secular debate setting I can’t give a widely applicable reason why it is
    bad and so I am conflicted here.

    -It’s a good point that being adopted by gay parents who sought you out is
    better than foster care.

    -Got a little confused on his third set of points. I don’t give a crap how
    the gay community will feel good about being accepted. The question is
    whether or not the child is adversely effected yeah?

    I really felt like he gave a weak argument, didn’t site any kind of actual
    data. He just said that gay parents want to be parents so they will be good
    parents, which I half agree with, then said can’t you be nice to the gay
    community? Then was done….

    On to the next video!!

  11. ARE THESE FEELINGS IM HAVING WRONG, IVE ALWAYS BEEN ATTRACTED TO MUSCULAR
    MEN MORE THAN WOMEN, AM I GOING TO HELL FOR THIS JUST LIKE IN THE BIBLE?
    8=======D~~~

  12. A gay can only be a father, not a mother. A gay couple can not be the
    “parents” of a child, for the child belongs to the mother and father, not
    the selfish gay couple that adopts them…

  13. This young orator breaths the tpical arrogance of self-indulging
    intellectuals, deprived of any spiritual knowledge.. 

  14. O Crawford, you Darling, Darling, Sweetest Boy …. You command the
    rostrum! As Thomas Macaulay so succinctly expressed … ‘The object of
    oratory alone is not truth, but eloquence’ ….. 

  15. Unbelievable that it takes a young man like this to teach these old farts
    the meaning of tolerance. I applaud you.
