“Gays don't become heterosexual. They are still gay. Or, they are bisexual.
Heterosexuals don't become gay. They were gay or bisexual to begin with.
But there isn't always clear dividing between gay and heterosexual, just unexplored desires and denied feelings in many cases. A person's sexuality will express itself at different times in their lives in different ways. Sometimes someone will never explore their feelings and live a life that is completely heterosexual in practice.. but that doesn't mean they weren't gay in some respect from birth or never became gay.”

“The right to marry others of the same sex; the right to live free of persecution for who they are; the very same rights that married heterosexual couples enjoy with regard to hospital visitation, insurance, parental rights, sharing of property; the right to consensual sex between same-sex partners (which is illegal in a couple states to this day)...
All the same rights that opposite-sex couples are enjoying but which gays are denied.
It is not extra rights or special rights they seek. It's the same rights they seek. Until they are protected under the law, the rights of heterosexuals are not secure either.”

“I dislike hatred more than I ever do the people that embody it. You're assuming a bit much about my reaction to the guy's message or whether I've been subject to hatred.
I was stating that Mr. Cohen was the one who didn't accept someone's natural state of being, happy or unhappy, and that he said gay was a choice to could be reversed. You didn't fully understand what Mr. Cohen or I said. Mr. Cohen said that being gay and unhappy was simply a choice to be unmade. He "treats" unhappy gay people by helping them deny who they are. It's living a lie.
You can't choose your way out of being gay. Genetically, physiologically, biochemically, you're gay (or some variation thereof) whether you are "practicing" or not, whether you're trying to set aside that part of yourself for some reason or not.
It's very sad that some people are so understandably uncomfortable with who they are because of media portrayals they've seen, persecution, shame, rejection, what their religion tells them or something in their family upbringing.
Ideally, people with varying sexuality wouldn't be in a family, peer group, society etc. where they would feel bad about which gender they are attracted to and in what proportions. Typically it is external factors which result in unhappiness for people that are in some measure gay. In an accepting world, there wouldn't be much of a reason for some gay people to be unhappy with who they are.”

“Is it still a hate crime if someone assaulted Richard Cohen? He's declared himself not gay, so...
I'm just arguing his definition of himself, not advocating violence against him, no matter how much he does stir thoughts of violence in me.
Strange how Mr. Cohen's vision of love doesn't include letting people be who they are but rather being who he thinks they should be.
Love the ripping apart of his "credentials".”

“Well, Richard Cohen himself claims (at approx. 13 mins into the interview) that he was "the victim of a hate crime" because the ACA kicked him out... and seems to blame it on the fact that the president of the ACA was gay.”

“Seems like you hate just as much as others might hate gays. That's understandable though you weren't listening to him. He said there are SOME people who aren't happy being gay and he works with them. Why won't you allow for some people not feeling quite right and happy being gay? Is that against your law? Why won't you let them be who they are? Let them come out the way they want and not have to affirm you.
The hate is on your side buddy, not on his. Though it is very understandable after centuries of persecution.”

From my understanding, technically, yes.
If a crime is committed on the basis of HATE, yes it qualifies as a HATE CRIME.”
