I really appreciated his talk on the morality of homosexuality. Im sure it has helped some people to come to better terms with the fact that there is nothing immoral in being LGBTQ. Any little bit helps humanity to comes to terms with itself.

John is a gift to us all.

Pancho Mulongeni -As I explained to Daniel Kane, below, John is gay but I don’t know his relationship status. But there are plenty of sweet, straight men out in fame-land who defend gay people publicly and unhesitatingly, god love ‘em! Like Ben Cohen, the rugby star, and Dannel Leyva, the Olympic gymnast. They are also our heroes, if not potential pillows. I’m apparently not the only guy who wanted a picture of these great allies, only to melt into a puddle within seconds of my first glance - cdn01.cdn.justjared.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/levya-shirtless/danell-leyva-shirtless-photo-shoot-06.jpg www.projectq.us/images/uploads/Ben_Cohen_-_original.jpg queerty-prodweb.s3.amazonaws.com/wp/docs/2013/05/920140_10151661710389434_1430493426_o.jpg 3.bp.blogspot.com/-KPBvgCX9hQo/V8m0-u8M8pI/AAAAAAACzL4/Lc32UiPG_n4VAQrx4QpyQbh420LT24cSQCLcB/s1600/104.JPG

Agree, Vernal. He’s addressing an important message, and with a confidence of public presentation I envy!

Thank you for all you do John.

You’ve left some good thoughts here

Great work

I'm going to have to watch his famous "What's Wrong with Homosexuality?" lecture. He would make a fabulous homosexual.

[@terryridge4596]

Wait WHAAAT?!?! He 'would make a fabulous homosexual'??!? Ummmm, he's OPENLY gay! Aloha

[@terryridge4596]

@@danielkane1108 LOL! Did you get a chance to watch the 'What's Wrong with Homosexuality' VidClip? It's really good! I highly recommend it! In it he alludes to his sexuality a couple of times! Hope you are well! Aloha

[@danielkane1108]

@@terryridge4596 Are you SURE he is not an impostor? Maybe he's just curious. That video is from what, a quarter of a century ago? Please! Some people change their orientations like hairstyles. If you could put gayness on a Likert scale of 1 to 10, would you say he is totally gay, moderately gay, socially gay, just likes to straddle the fence every now and then when that bugger just keeps popping up for some reason? He's probably happily married anyway! Have you met him? Just curious. I am going to make a beeline to put the video on my viewing schedule!

Daniel Kane Yep, I think so, too. But there are plenty of sweet, straight men out in fame-land who defend gay people publicly and unhesitatingly. Like Ben Cohen, the rugby star, and Dannel Leyva, the Olympic gymnast. If you fancy being transformed into a star yourself, these guy’s pics alone can flash-melt eyeballs, nipples and navel into a five-point hormone explosion.

[@Mark73]

​@@evanhawes2528They're gay, not sterile. A gay person is perfectly capable of having children. A same-sex couple can't create a child between themselves that is the biological child of both, but that's a different story and completely irrelevant. They're still capable of raising the child together and being wonderful parents.

That's his point, there isn't, and dismantled each of the arguments that present such a position

[@zacharymartin8951]

I didn’t actually hear what specific arguments he involved here

[@Birthdaycakesmom]

Are you pro-life? How much cortisol does an anti-gay attitude produce in the body and how much does it impact uterine health negatively and viability of offspring?

[@momo_kaizer5880]

Bruh wut

[@Birthdaycakesmom]

@@momo_kaizer5880 I’m sorry that’s the only response you could give. Unfortunately, it is far more stressful to pressure someone to have a child who isn’t ready than it is healthful. That includes pro-lifers. The same goes for phobic reactions to homosexuality. I don’t really know how to say it. Hating homosexuality, hate the sin, not the sinner, is still an act of hatred and it is damaging to the body to find a reason to hate something in the theoretical rather than concrete sense. It’s unnatural and unhealthy for human beings to be that obsessive with the sexuality of others. The sexual organs can be used to reproduce, but they can and should be used for other things. Still, these anti folks would rather get high off of stress rather than just relax and accept that some humans don’t like imitating reproduction when they have sex.

[@momo_kaizer5880]

@@Birthdaycakesmom the guy in the video is gay. In The lecture he is talking about, he is addressing common anti gay arguments and countering them. I don't know what his stance on abortion is but he seems like the pro choice type.

The St Benedict look ... John trim that up. I only say because I care. (Sadly, I’m apparently that shallow.)

[@philipdalton1000s]

There might not be anything wrong with homosexuality in the opinions of many but God doesn't see things that way.

[@noemidemelo8959]

God doesn't have an opinion as God doesn't exist. And even if God existed, its opinion doesn't matter to begin with. As the Bible describes God, it's an evil genocidal infanticidal misogynist, it has no morality, and it being an homophobe makes it more of an hypocrite.
