Homosexuality used to be useful when we were cavemen and needed people to guard women/kids...???
Iowa's NOM Crazies: Part Four

"Homosexuality is bad thing. It used to be useful when we were cavemen and we needed people to guard the caves full of women and children. If I’m a guy out hunting, I want to leave someone back at the cave tending to my wife and kids, and I don’t want a normal guy having that kind of access to my wife and kids. So, in our evolution, you can see that there use to be a utility for homosexuality, but that was when we were cavemen and we aren’t cavemen anymore. So, homosexuality is obsolete. But you can see what happens when homosexuals get power — like in Iowa City. They are running rampant. They are doing vicious stuff. Read Shakespeare’s Othello. Basically the homosexuals are like the Iago figure. " - NOM supporter Randy Crawford

2. I know a lot of gays who could kick that guy's ass.
Sight unseen. Where is it written that all gays are "womanly"? Some are a bit effeminate; but I would say most are not.

I don't believe in violence for any reason but defense, but you'd want me on your side in a fight.

3. I think they do this on purpose, they put sooo much stupidity into their arguments
Edited on Fri Oct-29-10 10:38 AM by ck4829
Anyone who can refute them gets overwhelmed just thinking about it, and only the insane (I.E. us ;)) can dare stand up against them.

Since I think I'm one of these crazy people, let me try it:

A. They're not called cavemen

B. There are "primitive" people even today; people who are nomadic, who are still hunter-gatherers, etc. Look in certain parts of South America and Africa to find them.

C. In these cultures, you can find homosexuals, and in them they can hunt and gather just like any of us straight guys can do, and in many cultures they become respected members of their communities.

4. Iago, yes. That's it.
I frame married women so that their husbands think they're having an affair, and will kill them.

It's happening all over Iowa City, too.

Bwahahahaha

20. And we certainly never have any children of our own.
The comment in question just makes me want to plan a vacation to Iowa City. I haven't run "rampant" in a long time.

6. Iago?
So, by his reading, Iago lusted after Othello, not Desdemona, and that is why he framed her.

Well, it has been a long time since I read it - maybe I missed something.

7. Apparently they make Shakespeare coloring books or something now
Edited on Fri Oct-29-10 11:02 AM by ck4829
For one of these homophobes to even know about Shakespeare is an accomplishment in itself.

10. NOM is now saying that homosexuality is a natural feature of Evolution?
Edited on Fri Oct-29-10 01:49 PM by Ian David
Wow, in one stroke they've declared gay people natural and Evolution to be a fact.

With no more caves to guard... the possibilities are ENDLESS!

15. fun stuff! lol... oh my. to state we're worthy to guard women & children, but that we still
couldn't then be worthy to guard, teach, etc just because there's no "cavemen" anymore is such a goofy argument.

17. Gee, many people would say an appendix is obsolete too.
I don't see a big push to go get them out of every living man, woman, and child on the planet.

Er...that is...IF...and that is a big IF...the other extremely ignorant parts of the statement are totally ignored.

That statement is so full of stupid, I don't even know where to begin.

23. Well that's different.
I thought most of the religious right types thought homosexuality was invented in the 1970s. And since when do they believe in cavemen or evolution?
