...only in your misfiring mind is gay a cult ..
Let's see the "differences" then...
CULTS:
1. Have a leadership that sets the standard for the cultees, who are strongly encouraged to not veer from that leadership.
2. They have a set of dogmatic rules.
3. They use surreptitious means to rope people into the fold, or at least not to mess with the integrity of the fold.
4. They evangelize
5. They like malleable minds like the young or mentally compromised to evangelize the most aggressively to.
6. They punish heretics
7. They push the boundaries of legality in the sacrafices and tasks they ask of their followers in order to expand the agenda of the cult leadership.
LGBT:
1. Harvey Milk, GLAAD, Kevin Jennings
2. Thou shalt not give therapy to youngsters imprinted gay by molestation. Thou shalt not get with a "breeder". Thou shalt not disagree with gay values being imposed anywhere, anytime or Thou art a "hater".
3. Banning reparative therapy for youth. Manipulating language such as "sex" in the 14th Amendment to mean a verb. Manipulating the legal system. Outright sedition in California of the People's civil rights to govern themselves.
4. Kevin Jennings' work in schools. Mark Leno's work in the CA legislature. Gay pride parades everywhere, every town. GLAAD owning Hollywood and putting rainbow colors in every TV commercial, and promoting gay themes and openly gay people in all the formats of the networks they keep buying up on cable.
5. Again, Jennings' work in schools. Harvey Milk day in schools. Disallowing youth to get therapy to throw off unwanted imprinted compulsive homosexual drives from being molested. "bi-curious" events/dances/parties thrown to entice adolescents to "come give LGBT a try".
6. Threats to anyone who dares to criticize the moment. Ostracization and demonizing of former cultees who leave the fold [Anne Heche is synonymous with "traitor" in gay vernacular]. Blackmail to politicians and industry leaders who voice their support for traditional marriage. Lawsuits aimed to punish anyone for following their faith to not promote homosexuality.
7. Gay pride parades performing lewd acts in a parade on a public thoroughfare, in broad daylight as a matter of "pride" around children they hope and expect will be there. Forcing adoption agencies to allow them access to kids in spite of these lewd parades in public.
