I think it's time governments make a formal apology to homosexuals re: the centuries of abuse imposed on us

[aidanjm]

Past time, really.

edit: I'd also like to see a similar apology from churches, particularly the Catholic church

 

[zendari]

Yeah ok.

 

[bamacre]

On behalf of the Catholic church, I would like to say we are sorry you are a homosexual.

 

[Steve]

Would you like repairations too? Free handouts?

So...you would like the church to apologize to you because you're a sinner and continue to live in sin and be sexually immoral? Yeah..like THAT is going to happen.

Repentance is the only way for you.

I would like the government to make a formal apology for taxing me and giving me a speeding ticket.
Lets see which one happens first!

 

[dug777]

Some government and church money donated to gay youth mental health would be a nice gesture. But that isn't the important thing. It is the formal recognition and acknowledgement of the centuries of wrong-doing that is important, in my view.

I'd like to see the governments tell people with requests like yours to shove off and eat a stump. Nothing is more ridiculous than to hear some group with repressed ancestors demand apologies for wrongs commited centuries ago, as if the descendants of the offenders have any such obligation. I bet I have ancestors who raped and pillaged, but I'm sure as hell not going over to England to apoligize to their victims' descendants.

I'd like governments, and churches, to apologize for killing homosexuals, torturing homosexuals, opposing equal rights for homosexuals.

 

[conjur]

What about the Nazis? They experimented on gays.

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, Affirmative Action.

I'm wondering why you would compare taxing or fining someone with trying to obliterate an entire category of human being from the face of the planet. :roll:

I don't know of any church-sanctioned killings of homosexuals. At least nothing in any recent history that would actually matter.

The German government did offer an official apology to gay victims of the Nazis in 2001.

I think it's time you quit complaining, I deserve an apology from you for having to read this thread.

If you're not willing to respect the spirit of this thread, then you might have the decency to fvck off.

I demand an apology for that remark.

 

[EatSpam]

I wouldn't waste your time. Look to the future, to the rights that you ought to have and how you are going to get them. Complaining about the past solves nothing.

Its kind of like the Dems complaining about 2000 and 2004. They should be looking to the future; at how to impeach Bush and win in 2008.

And about your signature... why does an unhappy straight person = gay?

I think you owe Odin an apology.

The 'spirit' of this thread is nothing more than your whining. Homosexuals are not an ethnic group, and I doubt that many, if any, of your family members were homosexuals, much less persecuted homosexuals. Thus, you're just trying to draw attention to yourself, who has not been wronged in the ways that you previously mentioned. If you can offer any evidence to the contrary, I'll be happy to review it. Until then, .

Yeah..I seriously wanted some examples.
