There was a teacher who was recently in the news for sexually abusing a student - but we don't say "all teachers are child molesters" - but these allegations are thrown at EVERY priest by the gay community.
How can this community demand equal human rights for all when at the same time they insult Christians?

In the middle east gays are not only illegal but it is legally punishable by death. Borrowing Kidder's map:
Having said that, if Russia made Christianity illegal in the same way that they are trying to make being gay illegal then I would probably be saying the exact same things about Russia.
The main difference is that you choose religion. Just like how I choose to play hockey or drink vast amounts of alcohol. While I agree that people should be allowed to make that choice to have religion or not, it is not comparible to someone being born gay / straight or being born with a specific colour of skin / hair / eyes / etc.
Ironically, the Christian priests that rape little boys are likely the people that this Russian law are trying to target to protect the children from.
Anyway, is much as you might think the gay community says bad things about priests, I feel pretty confident that the vast christian community says worse things about gays.
