It's reality, not fear.
Of course there's a line where it becomes harrassment, and harrassment is and should be against employment rules.
"OMG" and "Horrible" are NOT harrassment. Period
I'm not afraid of gay people. I tolerate and respect them as a human being. I don't get angry when they push their trash. All I want is the same tolerance in return -- that I, too, am able to express MY belief and opinion without being called a bigot, hater, or worse.
Again, it's not about fear. It's about being able to say what I believe without being forced to take some brainwashed sensitivity course or getting fired or forced to resign. I tolerate them, they should do the same in return. You're obviously not getting it.
Where in any post I've made here, have I demanded they live to a certain moral code. Please, show me. I'll help you. I haven't. All I've stated is that it's unfathomable that people can't even express their own opinions anymore, without the gays freaking out and demanding people get fired or forced to apologize and get brainwashed.
BTW, I'm not alone on this...even some gays have an issue with what has happened to the Mozilla CEO, HGTV show and now this NFL player.
I'm not surprised.

What did Jesus say when the woman was brought before him who was caught in the act of adultery? Or the woman at the well? What kind of people did Jesus hang around with? What was Jesus' response when the woman with the issue of blood touched him?
I think if Jesus were here today, the Parable of the Good Samaritan, would most likely be the Parable of the Good homosexual.
I have no problem with you (or anyone else's) spiritual views on homosexuality. What I DO have a problem with is how these views are unfairly (IMO) used to treat a class of people as less than human. (i.e. denying them their fundamentals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as per the constitution).
I also have a problem with how your express yourself, because I think it gives Christians (and Jesus) a bad name. You can say "I don't agree with the life choices you are making, but Jesus loves you and so do I, and I'll be praying for you."
IMO, Jesus would not say "OMG" and "Horrible" if he saw 2 people of the same-sex kissing.
I honestly think this is a speck in your eye, situation. (I am speaking of Conservative Christianity in general).
