Simply telling the truth about homosexual behavior - that it is immoral, unnatural, and unhealthy - outrages the bullying bigots of Big Gay and is regarded by them as a grave insult. Such truth-telling therefore must not be tolerated.
In fact, the SPLC goes on to say that if anyone tells the truth about homosexual behavior, the school must “denounce the hateful act,” and adds that the “denunciation of the incident should be delivered to students and staff, parents and caregivers, and the wider community. Post it on the school website, and publish it in the school newspaper or newsletter. Send it out to the media. Deliver it over the school’s PA system, closed-circuit TV or intercom.”
In other words, launch an ethic-cleansing program against any and all students of conservative moral principle and be sure to alert the media while you’re at it, so conservative students can be humiliated before their entire communities. Sounds like sure enough bullying to me.

OH jeez... nobody's saying that conservative kids can't hate people, they're just saying they can't act on it. And educating kids about the truth of homosexuality, that it isn't necessarily immoral, unnatural, or unhealthy, will go a long way to wiping these prejudices out.
That's the truth, huh? Well, I see how wrong we were now, Bryan! Guys, listen, he was telling the truth!
"He's just pissed off because a lady on CNN called him out on his bullshit and threw him off her programme. Whine some more, Bryan. It makes me smile to hear losers whine."
Is there a link to this?
As for this quote, I wonder if Fischer would be so adamantly against the same policy instituted against students who make anti-Semitic remarks?
conservative students can be humiliated before their entire communities.
Most of the time they are the bullies.
And bullies getting a well deserved backlash is not being bullied.
Go cry some more Bryan.
Simply telling the truth about homosexual behavior - that it is immoral, unnatural, and unhealthy
That's because it's NOT truth, just your bigoted opinion.

Ethnic cleansing involves killing people, you drama queen.
so conservative students can be humiliated before their entire communities
You say that like it's a bad thing. Better to cure them of the illness of conservatism while they're young enough for it to matter.
Immoral -- Things are only immoral because people say they are. It's a subjective standard. What's immoral to you (or one culture) is not to another person (or culture).
Wanna try again?
Unnatural -- Nope. Homosexuality is found in nature. You know, animals that aren't trying to be deviant at all. Just hanging out being animals.
Wanna try again?
Unhealthy -- Nope. Any sexual activity can be performed in a safe, healthy way or an unsafe unhealthy way. Homosexual acts, many of which are practiced by heterosexuals, are not intrinsically unhealthy.
That's three strikes. You're out, but thanks for playing. Now leave, and don't ever try to pretend that you know what you're talking about again.
Bryan, you were humiliated on TV because you were a jerk. At least be a man and stop whinging about it. Your increasingly desperate rants are not going to change the sexuality of one single person anywhere in the world. When you've grown up and accept that what anyone does in bed is their own business and not yours, you'll feel much better.
Ya know, Bryan... Your religion and its viewpoints are far more immoral, unnatural, and unhealthy than the homosexual behavior you so roundly condemn.
"Simply telling the truth about homosexual behavior..."
Oh, that would be a refreshing change.
"...that it is immoral, unnatural, and unhealthy..."
Damn, I should have known better than to get my hopes up.
"In other words, launch an ethic-cleansing program against any and all students of conservative moral principle and be sure to alert the media while you’re at it, so conservative students can be humiliated before their entire communities. Sounds like sure enough bullying to me."
That wouldn't be bullying, that would be essentially genocide, but, of course, you just made it up so it's fiction... bad, stupid fiction being sold as fact. That makes you an a&&hole, Bry Bry.
Immoral- nope, none of your business. If consenting adults want to fuck each either in the arse, mouth or ear it doesn't affect you and is none of your business.
Unnatural- Obviously has occurred throughout human history in every society. Occurs within nature.
Therefore not unnatural.
Unhealthy- Not necessarily, if precautions are taken.
So that is NOT the fucking truth about it at all. That's a bigot calling someone he's being bigoted against a bigot, in the hopes that we won't notice he's a bigot. It won't work.
How can you possibly know "THE TRUTH" about something you have never even experienced yourself?
What they are trying to do is prevent bullying, suicides of vulnerable people. They are right to do so. Fuck these bullies, they should be shamed. That is NOT in any way "an ethnic cleansing program" if you care at all about the meanings of words.
Stopping bullies from bullying is not bullying.
When is this guy gonna be old enough for us to throw him in an old-folks home and forget about him?
Seriously, this guy (and his lackeys) is sick and hateful and I'm damn well offended that he has the balls to call people who try to stand up for the rights of other sick and hateful. I wish he'd just go somewhere where he'd fit in more like Saudi Arabia or just shut the hell up altogether!
Homosexuality:
Immoral: Prove it. And the bible doesn't count, because not everyone follows it and the society you live in certainly doesn't either.
Unnatural: Prove it. And even if it were, what then? Assuming that just because something is natural is good or moral is a fallacy. Ergo, if something is unnatural it does not mean it is immoral.
Unhealthy: Prove it. There is a greater argument for this, admittedly. Anal sex can cause tissue damage, for instance. Though even then, Anal sex does not equate to homosexuality... though they can go hand in hand. As for HIV... pretty much any form of sex can spread HIV.

Arbeit Macht Frei, baby!
Someone once had an 'opinion' exactly like yours. A right -wing Conservative just like you too. Just ask Ernst Röhm. And then the hundreds of thousands just like him, who went to the concentration camps. The latter in particular, I'm sure theres still some survivors - the Homosexuell - who'll have something to say, re. you & your ilk being 'bullied', as in Equal Rights legislation which denies you & your ilk the right to even say what you once did with impunity.
One word: Thoughtcrime*.
*- And now it's your turn to say - to said Survivors - why those who so much as think in a homophobic way, why those who do should have the right to, if it perpetuates that homophobic way of thinking , and why anti-discriminatory laws shouldn't be allowed.
You know who you are.
unnatural... like wearing clothes and living in houses?
unhealthy... like smoking and soda drinking?
Turns out, nope on both counts. Humans do plenty of unnatural and unhealthy things, being part of the spectrum is neither.
As for morals, well now that is a religious conversation. My particular religion (none) says that homosexuality is not immoral and being protected by Freedom of Religion, schools need to stay neutral on moral issues. As for humiliating anyone, I'm in favor of anti-bully campaigns and against schools getting overly involved with the media.
Ethic cleansing? Oh, I thought he said ETHNIC CLEANSING and I'm like.
"Being Publicly humiliated=/=being fucking murdered."
Essentially, he's saying schools are removing the Ethics of its students... by teaching them to be less bigotry?
Zuh?
If conservatives are so proud of their "principles", why would publicity about putting their "principles" into action "humiliate" them?
Were I outed as an atheist, I'd keep calm and carry on. My primary worry would be the random yahoos who might harass me, vandalize my place of residence (which technically I don't own) or physically assault me ... or, given that I live in the Bible Belt, the potential employers, law enforcement officials, and other people with power who could make my life miserable. (Illegally, of course, but when so many self-professed conservative Christians hold office around here, how far will I have to reach for actual justice?)
Maybe I'm paranoid, but being laughed at would be the least of my worries.
"BIG GAY" RETURNS!

"Howdy! Gimmie A Big GAY Hug!"
Also, what hasn't been said about Fisch-face & his brain-dead rhetoric, before?
"He needs..."

"...a BIG GAY BEAR HUG! C'mere, Fischy Fishcy Fischy!"
Bryan Fischer - "AAAUUGH! Noooooooooooooooo!"
Go get 'im, Big Gay!
Yes, the pun in the OP's rant, 'ethic cleansing', is probably the brightest idea ever to enter his head. The fallacy still runs foul as what Bryan suggests is eerily close to actual ethnic cleansing, unlike exposing bigotry.
Ooh, that was funny! Can I try one?
"Big Gay has so thouroughly infiltrated the Churches that there isn't a single heterosexual evangelist in the world!"
"Simply telling the truth about homosexual behavior - that it is immoral, unnatural, and unhealthy"
Immoral: the Greeks and Romans of old, not to mention all those more recent, did not seem to mind.
Unnatural: except for all those species where homosexuality occurs. So, nature is unnatural?
Unhealthy: how many diseases were transmitted all along history by heterosexual intercourse? I would say the chances are about equivalent.
Guys I'm pretty sure "ethic-cleansing" was a pun. As in, instead of actual ethnic cleansing (read: genocide), we liberals are engaging in the slaughter of conservative ethics. I actually chuckled, but then I'm a sucker for puns.
I love how much time he spends assuming that homosexuality is immoral, and how little time he spends actually proving it. (None. To be fair, you can't prove something that's not true.)
"Simply putting old and vile lies about homosexual behavior outrages decent, empathic people and is regarded as a grave insult. Such malicious lies therefore must not be tolerated." Fixed.
If you don't want to be called out for spouting hateful anti-gay propaganda, then don't spout hateful anti-gay propaganda. Is it humiliating to be shown to harbor "conservative moral principles"? If they constitute such a moral high-ground, shouldn't they be proud, not humiliated?
"Simply telling the truth about homosexual behavior - that it is immoral, unnatural, and unhealthy - outrages the bullying bigots of Big Gay and is regarded by them as a grave insult. Such truth-telling therefore must not be tolerated. "
We do not tolerate your lies. We will alert the media so you can be humiliated before the entire community until you are too afraid to bully anyone ever again.
"Big Gay"
This will never cease to make me giggle...
"if anyone tells the truth about homosexual behavior, the school must “denounce the hateful act,”"
Not much unlike your denouncing the "sinful act" of homosexuality, amirite?
"conservative students can be humiliated before their entire communities"
Because they're bigoted and hateful. What goes around comes around, and all that.
You are nothing more than a shitstain on humanity, Bryan. Stay under your rock. kthxbye.
To be fair, I misread "ethic" as "ethnic," and I posted this. There's the off chance it's a typo, but I doubt it. The similarity to "ethnic cleansing" still makes it rather charged.
Conservative moral principle is an enthicity now? That's news to me.
Also, the usual "tolerence is really intolerence" spiel.
I'd rather see conservative students humiliated than gay students commit suicide.
Cry harder, Bryan. Your tears are invigorating to rational people everywhere.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
