“They’re actions that are against God’s commandments, and God’s laws. We do not want the future, our kids, to be raised in a society whereby, they can’t go, our boys cannot go after girls, our girls cannot go after our boys. You see? How can children be raised in such a society? This is what we are talking about. This is not a matter of violence. We have come here peacefully just to let the whole world know we are ready to die,” said Abdulkalil Ibrahim, protester

      That’s similar but specifically and subtely different in that it assumes that homosexuality is a virus that “flips” the infected from hetero to homo.

      In this case they seem to be implying that if they accept LGBTQ+ rights that heterosexuality will be outlawed and heterosexuals will have to “be gay” against their will to live in society.

      They’re both very, very stupid, but the latter is still stupider than the former.
