Because someone didn't agree with him, Pier was the only one acting like a overbearing bigot. This isn't even an interview. I've lost respect for him.

[@c0ldprince]

Aw you poor baby.

[@jediknightsamuel]

This is not a topic to have an "opinion on". That's like saying Hitlet had a different opinion on Jews so it's all okay what he did. You're saying that discrimination is okay because you consider it a different "opinion". It's not.

[@SS-rl9bg]

@@jediknightsamuel This statement makes absolutely no sense. If this topic was one of no opinion then there wouldn't be an interview. Pier had an opinion, yes? So did the other guy, so did I, so do you. It's ok if I don't agree with you. It's not ok if I disrespect you. That's all. Also bringing Hitler up was extreme but since you did let me respond. Hitler killed, enslaved, tormented how do you compare this with a minuit conversation between 2 willing & free people?

[@peterfraser9070]

At 6:00, the doctor said "Homosexuality is a maladjustment, it's an aberration; it's a trauma". I was proud of Piers Morgan for not being a bigot and not letting millions of people down.

[@shamicentertainment1262]

@@peterfraser9070I mean yeah it’s offensive, but is it so offensive you have to completely talk over the guy and not hear his points? Why even bring him on in that case.

[@partnershipwithafrica5464]

I had to view this interview after reading Douglas Murray’s book: the madness of crowds. This is a perfect example of what Murray, who by the way is gay, describes as dogma replacing dogma. Piers is canceling the voice of an interviewee his network invited to the program because Piers does not want to hear any opinion opposing the voice in his own head. Piers forgets that other people can hold opposing views to his which does not make them bad. He tries to simplify a very complex issue that even Douglas Murray who is gay agrees is emblematic of what has gone wrong in the world today. I will encourage everyone reading this comment to read Douglas Murray’s book and come to their own conclusions without bias or prejudice against those who hold opposing views.

@@MTFTaskForce let's be real it is a prejudice whatever way you slice it dice it what ever way.

I’m gay, and I don’t choose who I’m attracted to. I did not become corrupted by anything at age 12 when I started looking at and desiring the handsome boys I went to school with. Homosexuality is not about sex- it’s about love. Being 100% gay It might be possible to force myself to bed a woman, but it would be impossible for me to ever fall in love with one. Not ever having children of my own allows me the opportunity to support and take care of the ones my family has. Caring for them still has an evolutionary advantage, while they aren’t directly mine, they are still my biological family which allows my blood to live on in them.

[@Ali-vl1sc]

Can you provide evidence of this claim? Appealing to personal experience is a logical fallacy.

[@stephenmartinez1]

@@Ali-vl1sc what on earth are you talking about? My sexuality is my reality, no different than the reality of straight men, except that mine involves other men, not women. Are you saying you don’t believe me when I say it’s not possible for me to fall in love with a woman? I don’t know how to help you there. You’re basically asking me how to prove to you how it’s possible for me to love someone. As to my scientific claim of kinship: it’s quite straightforward. My genetic seed exists within my related family members. Even if I can’t reproduce, I can help nurture it by caring for and supporting the children of them

This video should be pinned at the top of Piers Morgan's body of work for his lifetime. He has calculated that the majority of people would see this Christian man as the enemy, and would see him as a hero if he pretended to be outraged by him, and set out to belittle, disrespect, and attack him. Piers is not a courageous man, and I don't think he would ever stand up for anything he had calculated might actually cost him.

I'm a Jehovahs Witness and I dont hate anyone for who they are, who they love as its none of my business to go into their private love. The doctor on the show clearly WAS Gay as he has an effeminately sounding voice. i Hate people who hatre others for what they are or who they love. Like john lennon once said "IT DOESNT MATTER WHO YOU LOVE, AS LONG AS YOU LOVE" . If you look at it, the doctor on the show is a clear closed minded bigot whose opinion i find abhorantly ingnorant, hateful, nasty and vile. Congratulations to the young gay man for just keeping his cool. I'm glad the bigoted hate preacher got lambasted by Piers Morgan and its one thing i DO like about Piers as he sticks up for the rights of people who are Straight, binary, LGBTQA+ and anyone who needs a voice. If someones living the life they wanna lead be they straight or non straight, what business is it of anyones to say they are wrong to love. GOD created love and all different kinds of love have been in the world since the beginning of time. Thankfully in the JW Congregation i attend myself, we dont have anyone who is bigoted or hteful. as in our congregation it shows in the REAL Holy Scriptures that we should love our neighbour as oursevlve. i dont mean just literal neighbours.
