An anti-homosexul stance is simply an anti-civil rights stance. Period.
That shit just isn't going to fly for much longer except where it will linger on in the darkest corners of the the deepest back-woods, mountains, and swamps of America.

Goddamn Rick Perry just shut up and sit down somewhere. The guy is basically a parody at this point.

Wow, take that gays... Obama is anti-gay marriage as well, but at least he's not all in your face about it. Then again, Rick Perry doesn't even want homosexuals to be able to serve their country. Yeah, he's gonna get far.

I remember saying something similar once and wasabi called me a bigot. Must've been something in my tone...

I flagged it for hate speech, child abuse, and the promotion of terrorism.

I think that was an argument of semantics.
I should be clear in stating that a person who has a stance in which they do not think homosexuals should have equal protection under the law is an anti-civil rights stance.
I mean I guess you could like be against gays in general but recognize their right to equal protection. You'd still be a dumb-dumb but at least one who valued the rule of law.

Deism is a pretty wide open form of belief - many of the Founding Fathers who were deists used more Christian imagery (Washington called it Providence, Adams called it God/Jesus, Jefferson called it God, Franklin as well), or just used religious language to convey their beliefs. It's not as if they ever became institutionalized, so it is less a organized religion and more a philosophical position about the metaphysical construction of the universe. Regardless, it posits a God, but that "higher power" varies depending on which person you are reading.
Still, it's not widely believed anymore. On the other hand, agnosticism assumes that certain knowledge cannot be known (hence, useless to discuss), so it's in a different category as far as I know. Plus, deism definitely errs on the side of religion, with both beliefs and precepts; even the most extreme of deists thought so. Note Paine's "statement of faith" in The Age of Reason: I believe in one God, and no more; and I hope for happiness beyond this life. I believe in the equality of man and I believe that religious duties constitute to doing justice, loving mercy, and endeavoring to make our fellow-creature happy."

If I remember right, I think I said something along the lines of "I'm not interested in debating gay rights with people who are against them anymore, because as far as I'm concerned anti-gay rights advocates are bigots", or some such. Then wasabi said something along the lines of "If you thing that all homophobes aren't worth talking to, you're a bigot yourself." Naturally I disagreed, and pointed out that I just wasn't interested in debating such folk. I never said I thought they should all be rounded up and shot or anything.
If nothing else I think you're right about it being a semantic issue.

Well, the thing is, Perry, in his little protected insular fag-hating Christian world, HAS NO IDEA that there is weirder shit out there in the real world... and by weird, I mean, it involves... the Japanese.

It's like he pulled a Michael Richards right when his act fell apart.
One thing I'll give him credit for: he's openly warmongering and gay bashing...Obama's practice of saying one thing and doing another bothers me way more. He's no friend of the gays and is twice the warmonger Bush was.
Another story got out about a drone strike killing a 16 year old boy with his 12 year old cousin in Pakistan....and unless visiting your aunt is an act of terrorism, Obama just spent a few million of your dollars on laser guided weapons to kill a couple of kids.
And shit like this is happening all the time while this fucking punk runs Bush's 3rd term.
WAY worse than making stupid videos for youtube IMO. I mean, they ALL suck...but where's the Obama hate?
