A perfect example of a complete ignorance of religion. Jerry Moore takes out of context examples of offenses against a community that learned it had to establish methods of teaching civil behavior to completely uncivil travelers and traders from outside. He classifies it as hate speech that a sovereign people would seek to protect their community from human animals by warning them not to engage in acts that would upset their lives. He fails to recognize the real dangers posed by lawless and amoral people of any age and obviously fails to delve into the question of what limits on behavior should there be and how do we teach those limits and enforce them.
He might wish to explain why it is that there is a gay community that is very diverse in it's behaviors and it is simply dishonest to portray them as typical human couples seeking the right to enjoy their mutual passions. In reality there are a range of issues which need addressing. What is age appropriate consent? What age is sex appropriate at all? What is a family and what is a safe environment? Why is there an array of fetishes being paraded in the street if ones private sexual life is none of anyone else's business? Why are drugs frequently used among those who are dabbling in casual sex? Jerry Moore has no answers as these questions remain unanswered even after decades of their obvious need to be answered. Instead it is a defense to assert that it is solely out of hate alone that laws designed to protect those who would enjoy a peaceful community are enacted. Maybe the best medicine for people who are that selfish is to go and live among a tribal culture and learn what society is and how it survives. They do not teach from books but from word and penalty and there is no question of what is normal as normal is common sense.
