No Tea, it's the MORONS who PAkman talks to who are the most stupid. These homophobes don't have a fucking clue anything about American and Constitutional Values, the only thing they know is their perverse Christ-fucker beliefs and they should be in jail or prison where they can't harm anyone.
If only these bigots just got on with their lives instead of spreading their hatred behind the cloak of religion, the world would be a far better place for us all.
People against Gay Rights are no longer worrying about accuracy, honesty, cleverness, or decency in your arguments. There is such desperate 'Sky is Falling' emotion in your silly little lives. Life is better than this. You are just coming across as hysterical Chicken Littles. You don't need to let that become everything you are and all you'll ever be. You are better than that.
I think what they mean is dressing well, taking care of yourself, being well groomed, being (generally) better educated, seeking equality....... That must be what they mean.
i recently came out and i had to ignore quite alot of bullying, one friend, well he isnt a friend anymore, basically gave me grief, lots of it. in the summer i went on a camp thing and we all walked about in our boxers and he thought i had looked at them all. he said 'i can't believe one of my best mates was gay....' i hadn't felt so hurt in my life, i truly thought i had friends and that he was a good friend. people that think it's a choice, they can tell me when they decided to be straight.
Paolo Geminiani To put another human being as lesser, or to state that a fact of their biology is unnatural or wrong is pretty much the definition of immoral. Kinda like being a racist.
I just googled anti-gay activist Peter LaBarbera assuming that in the ten years since this video was dropped he had come out but, much to my surprise, that hasn’t happened yet.
Fully agree: already the LGBT rights movement has gained much more momentum than I could have ever imagined. I never thought as a teenager that I'd be able to marry the love of my life (nine years now - which was extremely important for us, because it allowed me to immigrate him from the US to Canada, which otherwise would have been difficult). In one-to-two generations, homophobes will be like our old embarrassing racist grandparents today. The support of people like you is deeply appreciated.
cr1m1nalspeed It depends. I am a boy at high school who has a relationship with a boy, feels romantically and sexually attracted to boys and the idea of having sex with a girl almost makes me puke. However, I dress like normal boys, play football (soccer), I like boy things, most of my friends are boys and I hate shopping. So yes, I am gay, but not gay gay (This is my standard answer)
cr1m1nalspeed Ah, I see you talked to Scott Lively. You fucking homophobes are just jealous some people are more successful in love than you are, so you come up with ridiculous conspiracy theories to pretend we are some kind of criminals who intend to destroy human race. You react to a video about homophobia, which proves you are a very fanatic homophobe. I know I will not convince you, but I can honestly tell you I am the only gay person I personally know, I never heard of a gay agenda, I don't regret I can't reproduce and I am convinced people cannot be forced to love someone of the gender they don't love. It's just a ridiculous idea that people can only love someone because of what's between one's legs instead of what kind of person someone is. But as I said, I know there will always be ignorant perves like you. The only thing I could suggest you is to write down your theory about gays on a big banner, pay a visit to the Netherlands and show your banner to all people at The Dam square in Amsterdam. I'm sure they won't like you, most of them. Yours faithfully, A boy who is grateful to have the chance to love who he wants to love and doesn't care who other people love. P.S. What would have been your reaction if I would have said I was a straight person who just hated homophobes?
Doesn't matter what these anti-gay people say. Good thing is DAVID PAKMAN you are doing good job man, seeing good people like you always gives me HOPE.
I'm non religious, and yet it's plain as day this woman is driven by a higher power.She's got the whole nation attacking her yet she confidently stands her ground and does not take no for an answer. She wins every debate that she enters, always making more sense than her opponents. She is ultimately for all things good, and not evil. People just can't handle her extremities.There is much to learn from this woman, whether one agrees with her or not. That's how i see it!
I loved the argument: "Hey, there are proudly gay people and there are proud homophobes." Let's change that to another group-focused emnity. "Hey, there are proudly black people and there are proud racists." "Hey, there are proudly women and there are proud sexists." Yep, seems to work with everyone. Children should really learn that it is okay to be homophobe/racist/sexist. After all, that is not bad, it's merely keeping the balance.
Just wanted to extend a big thank you (gay guy here) for changing your perspective and for trying to extend that change to others. It's much appreciated.
Really love you, David, but it's time to speak to people who deserve your air time. It would be better to hear from the increasing number of Christians who are not homophobic. Perhaps you can persuade them to work on their bigoted counterparts. Just a thought. Best wishes from London (Check out the book, God's Other Children - A London Memoir).
It's very refreshing to see a Christian with an enlightened view of things. Being from the south, I hear people say all the time "well why would someone choose to be gay?" Which is one of the most rhetorical questions I've ever heard. The reason someone would "choose" to be gay and face constant ridicule and hate is because it's NOT a choice. Or rather, it's a choice between living a lie or being happy. Now not to bash your religion, but in my opinion, a loving God would love all his creations.
the senator made his first mistake by saying "I'm not gay friendly". That just screams "homophobic". A person can oppose homosexual behavior on moral grounds but omit hatred, bigotry, and unjustified fear of homosexuals. I know plenty of people who, like myself, are religious and fit into this category. They exemplify what Jesus would call LOVE or CHARITY.
Why do they have 'Land of Hope and Glory' playing in the background? That's stereotypically put with English themed scenes? England is overwhelmingly accepting of ALL people these days. We have some bigoted idiots still walking the streets, but on the whole, we're very much through the worst of homophobia. Once we legalise gay marriage, we'll be a lot closer.
Cara Lehrling i understand that, but you can only get the joke if you know the name of the tune. most americans can't find america in a world atlas and believe evolution theory is the work of the devil. i think there's more chance of them- you know, i'm gonna stop. there are too many levels of nothing coming out of this argument. Thank you, Cara and I agree. Peace and love :)
C Chadwick The song is commonly used in the U.S., and most Americans are probably familiar with the contexts in which it's used. I agree that the people in this clip are morons who lack the capacity for critical thought, but the country is considerably more diverse than England, so your generalization of Americans is inappropriate.
supertouchme are you sure it's more diverse than England? Do you have the data? England is a pretty diverse country, don't you know? But to be serious, if I may, when I wrote my original comment, I sort of realised I was being overly general, but I thought I'd go with it. People who watch this show would probably be smarter than the average American. Can I just ask why you think America is 'considerably' more diverse than England? Not because it's bigger, I hope.
C Chadwick It's 9.8 million square kilometers and has a population of 300 million, so it stands to reason that the country's socioeconomic landscape has greater variation.
OMG!!! Homophobic people make me sick to my stomach - literally! I am ashamed to live on the same planet as some of them! David Pakman - the way you handle these people is AMAZING! Keep up the great work! :o)
I am a bisexual, Christian man that's in a loving, monogamous relationship with another man. It saddens me greatly to see so called "Christians" like these give Christians like me a horrible reputation.
People who are gay don't need the "tolerance" of any church. As a gay person, I didn't do anything wrong. I was born gay and knew I was different, from the time I was very very young. Most are born straight, while some are born gay. It's mighty damn straight of any person to have "tolerance" for those who aren't exactly like they are. After all, they are obviously so damn wonderful and perfect. Right? Cram "tolerance" where the sun doesn't shine. We don't ask for or need a church's tolerance.
there's a difference: if it hurts the 'partner' it's bad - and if that partner doesn't have the necessary maturity to decide whether it hurts them then nobody has a right to do anything.
I know freedom of speech is legal, but how is hate crime legal? picketing dead people's funerals and bashing gay people have negative consequences on people mentally, physically, and emotionally. Shouldn't this be illegal hate crime?
"People can leave the lifestyle." Excuse me? I tried most of my life to "leave that lifestyle" and it doesn't work. I didn't make a decision to be gay, it just happened.
You, David Parkman, are in my humble opinion, brilliant. You lead the conversations into the areas that need light and let the morons inciminate themselves. Bravo! keep up the good work. :D
I think the world would sing the praises of a man who had the balls to declare war on people who have declared war on humanity. Sure, pedophiles who have commited no crime should not be punished. But violent offenders and sex offenders should be exterminated.
I'm gay, and I don't intend on ever really having sex with another boy or girl unless it is VERY serious and I am married to that person. "Sexuality" means "sex" as in gender, not the physical sex as in doing dirty things with someone. It's simply saying that you can love someone without having sex with them, no matter man or woman.
Thanks for posting that. As a gay person, I've never heard that bible verse, or the one from Romans, or the two from Leviticus. You have helped me to see the light.
Number one, I'm not a girl, I'm a 22 year old woman. Number two, I'm not trolling. Number three, so what if I was? I'm sorry I wasn't aware it was illegal to troll because of my gender.
OI...this is just embarrassing. I'm a Christian, and I think loving someone with all your heart is looked upon as holy, whereas many modern marriages end up in divorce and are thought as FLINGS. Gays and lesbians FOUGHT for their right...they FOUGHT for what so many other people take advantage of. Jews are great (Jesus Christ was a Jew as well), gays are awesome, and we need to open our hearts and love them, just as Christ loved the taxmen, players, soldiers, and adulterers. God Bless.
For the life of me I can't understand how people can say homosexuality is a choice... I (a heterosexual) can't just choose to be gay and neither can the people saying it's a choice, so I'm not exactly sure where this reasoning is coming from, or if there is any ounce of thought put into it.
That's extreme. When I was very young, spaced out of my mind from a physiological Hidden Disability, before the Gays rights movement, I wondered: In school, they taught us about the "Constitution" and its guarantee of certain "rights". Then it should be FORBIDDEN to torment, persecute and even prosecute these people for the most private aspect of life and choice. Also, "privacy" doesn't always mean "secrecy".
I hate it when homophobes say gay parades are over sexualized as if the world in general isn't a big over sexualized parade for straight people. A gay parade is a way gay people celebrate our sexuality and say we're not afraid anymore.
Nope, just fighting for the legal right to marry the person we love. Here in Seattle, it will be legal by November, so will be marrying my awesome partner of 10 years in February. Thanks for your support.
If it includes treating people unfairly and wrong, then I guess I don't want anything to do with it. I believe in treating everyone right, not being a bad person.
If noone asks about my sexuality, I don't tell them. When they see me with my girlfriend and call me a lesbian, I correct them. But when people are saying all gays or bis are automtically bad parents, while the 14 year old girl getting herself pregnant from her 15 year old boyfriend because she doesn't want to go to school anymore is automatically a better parent than we could ever be, of course I have to correct them. I feel the need to fight for children's rights to be with their parents.
Homosexuals, Transexuals, and Bisexuals, etc. are still honest citizens of these United States and should be treated the same way as heterosexuals. Public indecency of sexual/crude acts are wrong to do even in pride parades just as they would be for heterosexuals. Their should be no pros or cons to any orientation. Equality is one of the founding principles of this country, and should stay this way.
i love how calm you are, it's so funny when people seem to think that threats over youtube are actually intimidating -_- what about bisexuals? no one ever mentions us :'(
The United States is not ruined. There has always been an anti-gay sentiment among a certain percentage of the population. The difference is that now, hateful statements can easily be filmed and posted to the internet more easily, where such statements spread like wildfire. You might take some time to notice the reaction of most young Americans to such ignorance, as opposed to their agreement or indifference just a decade ago. Progress is being made, and it is doing so rapidly.
Where in this verses does it say anything about being homosexual? You WANT "effeminate" to mean gay, but it doesn't. It just means "un-manly". But does this mean, women can't get into the kingdom of heaven? No it doesn't. It means, you should "man up" in face of the world, be responsible and reasonable!
Actually, I'd like to point out that they aren't born gay, it's something that develops over time based on the person's environment growing up. It's just that they didn't choose to be gay.
Indeed, nature continues to produce gay folks, so thank you for giving credit where credit is due. Being gay, as you correctly state, is totally natural and normal, and so, as it has been throughout the history of humankind, nature will ensure that gay folks are always a part of the species. And, I might add, a fabulous part.

Let's be clear here. Every medical association has explained homosexuality is a normal variation of human sexuality. It is not a choice. It is not a sickness. The ex-gay leaders admitted in 2013 nobody changed from homosexual to heterosexual (after 40 years of 'change' testimonials).
folks who have morals and taste do not have to worry about being labeled evil haters. It's the folks who think that being anti-gay is even a defensible position who should expect to be considered pariahs and justifiably labeled as hateful bigots.
Wrong on both counts: no gods, including Zeus and Poseiden, made a damn thing, and Adam and Steve are a happy, healthy couple who were born gay, grew up gay, and are still gay. And, soon, they'll be gay and legally married.
What's funny is that the word and concept of homosexuality did not enter the Bible util 1892. Back when the Bible was written it wasn't conceived of a person being gay and capable of a loving relationship with another of the same sex. When it refers to homosexuality it's referring to a practice of idol worship in most cases that was a common practice among pagan beliefs at the time. And if one is curious to know whether God loves gay people look up gay near death experiences, because the overwhelming majority of them are meet with love and no condemnation or judgement for who they are.
They may not have the numbers to start an uprising, but the unfortunate truth is, they still have the numbers to drag a man, woman, or child into a parking lot and fracture their skull against the curb for whatever sin they've taken upon themselves to decide their most recent victim is guilty of.
David Pakman should receive an award for his ability to not go crazy with the people he talks too
Oh gosh, I don't know how he was able to sit there calmly and listen to these so called "people".
u sound so fake
You are so fake fuck off idiot
Did not expect to see you here lol

Hearing the first knucklehead say, "If homosexuality don't make you sick you're just as sick as they are," literally made me sick!
That woman Shirly Phelps-Roper is literally INSANE. Oh my goodness.....................
I think I lost a few brian cells after hearing those people talk.

I'm gay and smoked a bong while watching this, i guess the second guy is right. XD I'm pretty happy with my "choice" none the less.
I'm bi and watched this after hitting my dab pen a few times, maybe they're onto something.
i recently came out and i had to ignore quite alot of bullying, one friend, well he isnt a friend anymore, basically gave me grief, lots of it. in the summer i went on a camp thing and we all walked about in our boxers and he thought i had looked at them all. he said 'i can't believe one of my best mates was gay....'
i hadn't felt so hurt in my life, i truly thought i had friends and that he was a good friend.
people that think it's a choice, they can tell me when they decided to be straight.
When was 17 a legitimate sample size number? Statisticians usually point to 30 as the minimum sample size.
"pretty soon, they're going to be able to have sex whenever they want it, maybe even with whoever they want"
no, please no, not in America !!!
I CANT EVEN BREATHE IM LAUGHING SO HARD AT THE STUPIDITY ESPECIALLY THAT SHIRLEY CHICK
These people are all nuts.
The anti-gay ranting is moronic,and the information they use is skewed, twisted and just plain wrong. It's absurd
You talk about " wrong " you mean a-moral, evil, on which base you measure what is wrong ? Thank you, for taking the time to answer.
Paolo Geminiani To put another human being as lesser, or to state that a fact of their biology is unnatural or wrong is pretty much the definition of immoral. Kinda like being a racist.

I'd love to know what "research" goes on at the Family "Research" Institute.

I hate homophobes.

Are you a homosexual?
cr1m1nalspeed It depends. I am a boy at high school who has a relationship with a boy, feels romantically and sexually attracted to boys and the idea of having sex with a girl almost makes me puke. However, I dress like normal boys, play football (soccer), I like boy things, most of my friends are boys and I hate shopping. So yes, I am gay, but not gay gay
(This is my standard answer)
cr1m1nalspeed Ah, I see you talked to Scott Lively. You fucking homophobes are just jealous some people are more successful in love than you are, so you come up with ridiculous conspiracy theories to pretend we are some kind of criminals who intend to destroy human race.

I know I will not convince you, but I can honestly tell you I am the only gay person I personally know, I never heard of a gay agenda, I don't regret I can't reproduce and I am convinced people cannot be forced to love someone of the gender they don't love.

Also, yes, his/her argument does justify homosexuality. The difference is that homosexuality alone doesn't hurt anyone. Pedophilia does.
I've had nothing against homosexuality or ethnicity since I was I little kid. I'm proud of myself.
OMG!!! Homophobic people make me sick to my stomach - literally! I am ashamed to live on the same planet as some of them! David Pakman - the way you handle these people is AMAZING! Keep up the great work! :o)
David I love what you do for the gay community... I'm heterosexual but this has been my biggest issue for a while..
It is simple civil rights
If you are against same-sex marriage you are discriminating against people because of the way they're born.
And THAT is bigotry in anyone's book.
It's nice to see someone who can be respectful about it, even if they don't agree with it. Kudos to you.
You know, that last point made me smile.It's just such a refreshing change from hearing about fathers disowning gay children. Thank you for that. :)

Say "Hell, No!" to religious fanatics and "Hell, Yes!" to the common sense stance of marriage equality.
Saying that no one can be Christian and gay is the no true Scotsman fallacy.
"People can leave the lifestyle." Excuse me? I tried most of my life to "leave that lifestyle" and it doesn't work. I didn't make a decision to be gay, it just happened.
You, David Parkman, are in my humble opinion, brilliant. You lead the conversations into the areas that need light and let the morons inciminate themselves. Bravo! keep up the good work. :D
It's funny because they say that gay parents will make their child gay but straight parents have gay children.
Whenever a benchmark is set for insanity, Shirley Phelps-Roper just goes right ahead and smashes straight through it!
The only reason I can watch all 12 minutes of this is your smile, David. Thanks.
"some people are proudly gay, and some are proudly not"
that's basically saying that it's ok to be proud of not being black.
I think the world would sing the praises of a man who had the balls to declare war on people who have declared war on humanity. Sure, pedophiles who have commited no crime should not be punished.
But violent offenders and sex offenders should be exterminated.
I'm gay, and I don't intend on ever really having sex with another boy or girl unless it is VERY serious and I am married to that person.

Paul Cameron was thrown out of every medical association after refusing to stop promoting things that he was shown were not true.
It is crazy to think that there are actually people out there that think this way.
I am gay and I will admit, too many gay men are obsessed with their sexuality.
You live life guided by reason, logic, and as you said, common sense.
Respectable comment.
If it includes treating people unfairly and wrong, then I guess I don't want anything to do with it. I believe in treating everyone right, not being a bad person.
If noone asks about my sexuality, I don't tell them. When they see me with my girlfriend and call me a lesbian, I correct them. But when people are saying all gays or bis are automtically bad parents, while the 14 year old girl getting herself pregnant from her 15 year old boyfriend because she doesn't want to go to school anymore is automatically a better parent than we could ever be, of course I have to correct them. I feel the need to fight for children's rights to be with their parents.
Homosexuals, Transexuals, and Bisexuals, etc. are still honest citizens of these United States and should be treated the same way as heterosexuals. Public indecency of sexual/crude acts are wrong to do even in pride parades just as they would be for heterosexuals. Their should be no pros or cons to any orientation. Equality is one of the founding principles of this country, and should stay this way.
TL;DW version: We're afraid of people who aren't like us.
Also, if a fact hasn't been confirmed, or even researched, don't cite it.
i love how calm you are, it's so funny when people seem to think that threats over youtube are actually intimidating -_-
what about bisexuals? no one ever mentions us :'(
God bless this man for interviewing the people he does. I'd get super heated.
The United States is not ruined. There has always been an anti-gay sentiment among a certain percentage of the population. The difference is that now, hateful statements can easily be filmed and posted to the internet more easily, where such statements spread like wildfire. You might take some time to notice the reaction of most young Americans to such ignorance, as opposed to their agreement or indifference just a decade ago. Progress is being made, and it is doing so rapidly.
Where in this verses does it say anything about being homosexual? You WANT "effeminate" to mean gay, but it doesn't. It just means "un-manly". But does this mean, women can't get into the kingdom of heaven? No it doesn't. It means, you should "man up" in face of the world, be responsible and reasonable!
Actually, I'd like to point out that they aren't born gay, it's something that develops over time based on the person's environment growing up. It's just that they didn't choose to be gay.
This is the most atrocious swill of the lowest plankton among us. I am thoroughly disgusted by these people.
Good lord my blood pressure sky rocketed watching this video
Indeed, nature continues to produce gay folks, so thank you for giving credit where credit is due. Being gay, as you correctly state, is totally natural and normal, and so, as it has been throughout the history of humankind, nature will ensure that gay folks are always a part of the species. And, I might add, a fabulous part.
Let's be clear here. Every medical association has explained homosexuality is a normal variation of human sexuality. It is not a choice. It is not a sickness. The ex-gay leaders admitted in 2013 nobody changed from homosexual to heterosexual (after 40 years of 'change' testimonials).
folks who have morals and taste do not have to worry about being labeled evil haters. It's the folks who think that being anti-gay is even a defensible position who should expect to be considered pariahs and justifiably labeled as hateful bigots.
Wrong on both counts: no gods, including Zeus and Poseiden, made a damn thing, and Adam and Steve are a happy, healthy couple who were born gay, grew up gay, and are still gay. And, soon, they'll be gay and legally married.
This is what happens when religion tells sick people that they are right.
Young lady, your hate against people and inciting violence by these tee shirts are exactly what Jesus was against.
Came for the idiocy, stayed for the music.

What's funny is that the word and concept of homosexuality did not enter the Bible util 1892. Back when the Bible was written it wasn't conceived of a person being gay and capable of a loving relationship with another of the same sex. When it refers to homosexuality it's referring to a practice of idol worship in most cases that was a common practice among pagan beliefs at the time. And if one is curious to know whether God loves gay people look up gay near death experiences, because the overwhelming majority of them are meet with love and no condemnation or judgement for who they are.
They may not have the numbers to start an uprising, but the unfortunate truth is, they still have the numbers to drag a man, woman, or child into a parking lot and fracture their skull against the curb for whatever sin they've taken upon themselves to decide their most recent victim is guilty of.
Dude's a great interviewer. Nice soundtrack, too.
