No one is saying they are not human (straw man). Aren't thieves or murderers human as well? This is a weak argument frankly.

I think a lot of people consider murderers as less than human, and reflect that in the way they talk about them and the punishments they should face.

I think a lot of people consider homosexuals as deviants and in some way less than human, also. They might not say it openly but they think it.
