It's even in some of the western Iiterature.
''live and Iet Iive.''

:40:05
That is such crap.
BasicaIIy, what it boiIs down to...

:40:10
...if I don't teII you I'm a fag,
you won't beat the crap out of me.

:40:15
What's so great about that?
:40:17
That's a great phiIosophy?
:40:19
I'll sit in church and the reverend
will tell you flat out...

:40:22
...he does not agree
with homosexuality, right?

:40:25
I don't feeI Iike I know enough
about certain things...

:40:28
...just to be abIe to say
that homosexuaIity is right...

:40:31
...when I've been raised my whoIe Iife
that homosexuaIity is wrong.

:40:34
My parents brought me up CathoIic.
:40:37
I was brought up
to Iove the sinner, hate the sin.

:40:41
love the person for who they are,
but condemn them...

:40:44
...for what they do. Condemn the IifestyIe.
:40:46
I wouId have to say now
I don't agree with it.

:40:49
I don't agree, and maybe that's just
because I couIdn't do it...

:40:53
...but I don't hate them,
I won't persecute them.

:40:55
I'm not gonna Iet this get in between
me and the other person at aII...

:40:58
...or in between you and I.
:41:00
Not at aII.

It's preached in schooIs
that being gay is okay.

:41:07
If my kids asked me,
I'd set them down and I'd teII them:

:41:10
''This is what gay peopIe do.''
:41:13
''This is what animaIs do, okay?''
:41:15
I'd teII them, ''This is the Iife.
This is the IifestyIe. This is what they do.''

:41:22
And I'd say,
''This is why I beIieve it's wrong.''

:41:24
Shame! Shame! Shame! Shame!
:41:33
