What a need to defend their rights?
I’m still shocked to read about people proud to be gay.
Even in the Holly Book it’s considered as a big sin…
Tigran, why not leave your comment on the original post?
Tigran, are you shocked, or are you \shocked, shocked\…
Done

Tigran, what is the relevance of a fairytale written several hundred years ago as a tool to manipulate the masses, to the 21st century society in Armenia or elsewhere? As you may know, in all democratic states including Armenia there is a clear separation of the Church and State. So if you have some intelligent basis to argue a point please go ahead but otherwise don’t impose your christian beliefs onto others. I can’t tell you if being gay is something to be proud of but I can tell you with full confidence that believing in the bible is an indication of inferior intelligence.
