Are people who are unable to understand concepts like love and commitment...?

...because of brain damage "less than human"?

Update:

It is YOU who suggested people who cannot understand "concepts like love and commitment" are "less than human", Banana.

Update 2:

Re: "Like they are lesser humans, second-class citizens, because they don't understand love."

There you go again! Even if I believed homosexuals are "unable to understand human concepts like love and commitment" (which I don't), that would not mean they are "less than human". Again, it is YOU who is saying "unable to understand human concepts like love and commitment" = "less than human".

    Nope, but that's the implication by fundamentalists when they try to dehumanize gays.

    Fortunately, gay people don't need Christians to validate whether or not their emotions are legitimate and real.

    Edit: I don't think you understand satire. Have you ever seen the daily currant or the onion? You may not have noticed, but I employ satire quite a bit. Sorry you missed it. Fundamentalists say "gay love isn't love" because it helps dehumanize gay people in their minds. Like they are lesser humans, second-class citizens, because they don't understand love.

    Love is accepting and embracing everything the person is, love in general is not just selfless, but also selfish. It is a symbiotic relationship, where another's happiness is their own.

    Someone who loves another is not going to threaten their lover in order to get them to serve their desires, that is just called obsession, not love...
