Drunks, adulterers, liars, atheists all do so as their own choice. It's a more apt comparison to discrimination based on factors nobody chooses, like race and sex/gender. I image we wouldn't be taking the same "be reet" attitude towards him if he'd said all black people are going to hell. I also reckon the same people saying it's a mountain out of a molehill genuinely don't know the damage to LGBT people that normalising this does.

If you label anybody disgusted with homophobia as being a snowflake, showing fake outrage or anything of the like, all you are doing is telling us exactly what kind of person you are.

It always amazes me that radical Religion seems to be at the heart of most hate, yet it is supposed to be all about love and tolerance.

Just dropped you something from the other side of the world so you don't think im a Guardian reader

Just providing you some balance as you appear to have adopted a position where by you feel you can speak on behalf of everybody.

lol, then you would have to go on my foes list!

There really is something wrong with people who are up in arms about Folau’s signing.
Bird was convicted of smashing a glass in his girlfriends face, Lui beat his wife up, Monaghan performed a sexually explicit act on a dog and the list goes on....yet all were allowed to resurrect their careers over here.
Folau spoke out about what his beliefs are and what his religion states, and it is the crime of the century !
To make matters worse Wigan announce a LGBT day to show they don’t agree with him playing in SL yet they are the biggest foster home for bad boys !
I can’t wait to see Folau tear it up in SL, but I certainly won’t be going to the charade at Wigan !

Because of the power dynamics. What would you be more outraged over - me punching Mike Tyson as hard as I can or me punching a newborn baby as hard as I can?

If you can see a difference in that, you can see why all violence is not equivalent - there is a spectrum.

And they were all widely condemned for it.
His religion also states the his elders can stone his son to death if hes rebellious. He can also stone his wife to death if shes not a virgin. and he also shouldnt wear polyester. and he cant work (play rugby) on a saturday.

i look forward to seeing him stick to every single thing his religion states...
