Here is recent research supporting the "gay" gene hypothesis.

What do the new ‘gay genes’ tell us about sexual orientation?
Two gene variants have been found to be more common in gay men. New Scientist looks at what this tells us about the way biology shapes our sexuality

If the word 'hatey' is deleted I agree wholeheartedly with what you said. I've said on a number of occasions in another thread that he could've constructed his message more tactfully, but let's be honest he's not an English Professor, he's a rugby player. How nuanced would you expect his argument to be? To be fair to him though, he didn't just post the meme he also posted the biblical passage he had in mind also.

I don't hold much hope of this one surviving either since the article you've posted references Levay's 1993 study which Levay himself said the following about in 1994
and whose study was criticised by many other researchers
e.g.
I'll examine it more fully later though.
In the meantime you might want to consider the following;

The American Psychological Association has this to say about the subject;

It's an unfortunate reflection of our modern age that anyone saying anything that conflicts with the prevailing orthodoxy is seen as worse than a nutter, whether they've commented on this subject, Climate Change or a host of other subjects. If this sort of highly intolerant atmosphere existed in Galileo's day he would have faced more than just relatively tepid opposition from the Catholic church in response to his theory of Geocentrism.

Playing the victim , anything so you can justify your hate.
It is very clear and simple and you seem hell bent on justifying that “your going to hell “ for being who you are is not nasty or hateful.
If not hate its Blind ignorance.

Gee, they couldn't be motivated by other factors, could they?
Pro bono.
OK it may not be, but would make for a good case to take on putting ones name in the spotlight.

What you're not seeing though is that from the perspective of his worldview, 'telling it like it is' in response to being questioned on the issue, shows more respect to those he sees in danger from an eternal viewpoint than what many churches do. They welcome them with open arms and tell them they're doing nothing wrong. You see him as condemning. If he were, I would agree with you. He would be wrong in doing so because if he's a Christian he shouldn't condemn anyone. God is their judge not the Christian. Christians are to preach the Gospel, part of which involves not shirking the responsibility of showing how God views sin but also pointing people in the direction of Christ who paid the penalty for that sin. As far as I can see, this is what he has done.
Except that's not what I did. I compared the intolerance of Galileo's time with today. The ironic thing about this issue is that many who see Folau as being intolerant, prove themselves to be more intolerant of his beliefs.

From his point of view, yes, for their eternal soul.

I'm not hating on anyone. All I'm doing is trying to give you more of an insight into Folau's worldview in order for you to not be so quick to condemn him. Let me ask you this though, if he hadn't posted the meme but just posted the biblical verse alone -
would you still see him as being nasty and hateful? Is it the Bible that's nasty and hateful or is it only nasty and hateful when accompanied with the meme/paraphrase?
My own opinion is he could have dispensed with it. He would've been better served by just adding the next verse to his biblical quotation.

I’m not sure I understand this.
Are you saying that any time I feel someone is being intolerant, I can return the favour?
If my neighbor mows his lawn at noon but I have just come off night shift and I’m trying to sleep, he is being intolerant and I can go and give him a piece of my mind?
Isn’t that whole point of tolerance that you act the same way, no matter what is being said or done?

So now your calling “hating” insight???
Unbelievable.
As I thought, you can't answer the question so instead you pose your own. One based on false premises at that.

The highest paid and a massive hypocrite as well as being a complete idiot and a jerk.
He and his ilk would have us believe that their faith in a particular sky-god allows them to insult whoever they like based on their sky-god beliefs, whenever and wherever they choose to do so. What monumental filth. To hell with him and the horse he rode in on.
And to think: Prime Minister Scum-Mo is going to bring in laws to protect the rights of this w***er and his cohort to publicly demean and put down those whose beliefs don't coincide with his.
Hey, Scum-Mo, I have just invented my own religion which says that I have the right - nay, the duty - to loot and pillage politicians. Is that OK with you? After all, it's my religion, and my religious rights need to be protected regardless of the harm they might cause to others if I act on them, right?

the libs want people like folau to have the right to openly express their religious views without the threat of losing their job, yet are legislating that people can lose their job simply for being gay.
absolute dirtbag human being the lot of them. his nickname should definitely be scumo.
The Bible also says that slavery is AOK and that a woman should always obey a man no matter what. So all you sky-god-bashers are good with this? I could cite a whole slew of other insane pronouncements in the Bible if any Folau-supporting morons wish me to.

No you didnt think.
Issy decision to publically hate gays is disgusting , just like your support of him. Regardless if it is in a sentence or a meme. There you go I answered your inane question which has no relevance.
Answer this, why is it ok for Issy to vilify homosexuals??? How can this hate be fair comment or justified???
