Speak the truth girl! and speak it loudly!

[DN64]

Why do you pro-gay people almost always look gender-mixed... I can't tell if this is a guy or girl, but I can tell that it's ugly... AAAACK!

[odessyrcr589]

The ugliness is all in your words. Shame on you!

[DN64]

@odessyrcr589 Shame on you for being blind to reality... We have a place for people like you -- it's called HELL...

[odessyrcr589]

And you have the authorite to send me there? Don't impersonate god. You are no god.

[DN64]

@odessyrcr589 You are a drama queen and you like to put words into people's mouth. A, I never claimed to be god. B, I didn't say I have the authority to send you there.

ALL I SAID WAS we have a place for people like you -- it's called HELL... and that is my OPINION... Too f'in bad if you don't like it...

[odessyrcr589]

Whatever your a nasty ignoant person. You will have to answer for that.

[DN64]

@odessyrcr589 The word "whatever" is a term used by people when they realize they've been owned... I guess I have nothing else to say now since you even realize that I'm right... Well, thank you, I'm glad to have been of help -- you now finally see the light... Maybe it's not too late for you, maybe you won't go to hell? Time will tell... Don't bother replying unless you feel the need to have the last word -- I won't reply back -- in fact, I won't even bother reasding it... BYE.

[BAZHE]

great

[jjKickerK]

Let me ask you guys an honest question. Given the argument presented in the video, would you be opposed to the legalization of polygamous marriage? Suppose there were a proposition in your state that sought to remove the numerical limit of 2 people from the definition of marriage. If the law passes, then groups of any size (up to, lets say, ten or so) can enter into marriage together as a group. Would you vote yes or no for such a proposal? Why or why not?

[odessyrcr589]

Ironic considering polygamist Mormons funded the fight agaist gay marriage.

[flyersfan345]

GAy marraige is fucking retarded and, wrong. Gay's don't even deserve it anyway. They are just dumbass protesters. I think gayness is a disgrace to the human race.

[IanLane88]

We think people like you are a disgrace to the human race. You are allowed whatever beliefs you want, but you cannot deny that we too are human beings, and deserve the same equal rights you have. If you don't believe that, you are heartless, and also must still be living in the late 1800's, where it's cool to keep a black guy as a slave too. Jackass.

[IanLane88]

Also, if you are of this opinion... why do you spend your time watching videos like this? Just so you can bash us even more? You need to get a life... one that doesn't involve being a hate monger.

[idaman12345]

no homophobes like you are the disgrace to the human race

[kriskahn21]

I <3 this video. Well done!

[aquanette125]

This is an incredible video. You are an amazing person. God bless.

[Hemaun]

Thank you for actually presenting some basis WHY gay marriage is a matter of civil rights!  I've been trying to get that out of homosexuals for months now. I'd like to understand the position more, but I don't have time now. I'll be back!

Again, THANK YOU for the video!

[SelfImmolator]

While struggling against Islamo-fascism abroad, it is an embarrassment that we have such a widely-supported Christo-fascist policy at home.

Civil Rights NOW. Death to fascism.

[xCharBabesx]

Marriage is about being connected to someone who you love and if this lady loves a another female then they should be aloud to marry each other.

[Hemaun]

xCharBabesx wrote: "Marriage is about being connected to someone who you love..."

==

Marriage is about more than being connected to someone who you love. Marriage is about heterosexual relationships.

But I thought this issue is about equal rights. Why are you bringing up the definition of marriage? By so doing, aren't you guilty of attempting to redefine something that has already been defined?

The State's adoption of marriage includes the religious beliefs accompanying it

[ZavnorZ]

mules can never be horses, and gay marriage will always be a mule, posing as a horse, so legalize it all you want to, but it is not the same thing

[joshuafraty]

ahahhahhahaaaa

[wackinoffski]

religious arguments are completely irrelevant to the issue and shouldn't even be heard end of story

[upyrszzzzzz]

OMG THIS dyke is soooooo ugly...no wonder she is a dyke what dude would want her!

[daganboy]

1.Being gay is not a choice; people do not "switch over"

2.Why would you think that lesbians are attracted to ugly girls?

[johnschaaf]

This is a very clear and well presented argument. It is puzzling why it is so hard for some people to grasp the logic of it.

[FaithandReasons]

Comparing sexual behavior 2 ethnicity is a category fallacy.

Sexual behavior isn't innate at birth (did ur parents know ur sexual tastes at conception? Of course not). Ethnicity however, IS determined at CONCEPTION.

Sexual orientation is what u do (behavioral). Ethnicity is what u r (nonbehavioral).

If u want 2 defend homosexuality, knock urself out. But pls do not compare it 2 ethnicity. That is erroneous.

*truth*

[Jakemmx]

Homosexuality is not just about the sex, it is about who you can form loving bonds with ... and it is shown to be HIGHLY determined before birth. Yea, gay people can have sex with women ... but they still are gay (and forcing that is little better than a manditory rape policy).

[FaithandReasons]

Jake,

Sexual orientation isn't innate at birth (that's y it's not on ur birth records), & it hasn't been "shown 2 b HIGHLY determined b4 birth." Sorry. Once again, comparing ethnicity 2 sexual orientation is a category fallacy. 1 is scientific FACT at CONCEPTION (ethnicity), the other is not (sexual orientation).

[Jakemmx]

It is funny how christians are the only ones trying to make this argument. The earth is only 6000 years old as well, right? ..

I would say that ethnicity is much more determined (yea, %100), but they are continuously finding more and more physical and brain-structure differences inbetween homosexuals and heterosexuals. The whole issue here is not genetics though, but how they go throug ha similar strugle (and how minorities seemed to not have learned any lessons from their own opressed past).

[FaithandReasons]

*I'm confused* U want 2 debate about young earth creationism??

Let me bring u back on topic~

Professing Christians are not the only ppl who think comparing sexual orientation 2 ethnicity is fallacious (pls do ur research).

I read a study that suggests homosexuality is genetic. It was spurious & unscientific, but very entertaining.

p.s. (don't let my screen name lead u 2 divert off the topic in2 "theism"). The Bible has absolutely nothing 2 do w/this video.

*amen*

[Jakemmx]

I think young earth creationism is entierly on topic. You are completely fine with making any ridiculous claims as long as you think it jives with 'the good book'.

There are some very blatant statistics that show that, in some way, homosexuality is tied to genetics ... though they dont know how. Of course it has other factors, like conditions in the womb, and environmental factors ... but regardless, there is ACUTALLY no evidence that you can force change on a highly homo (or hetero) sexual.

[FaithandReasons]

How does young earth creationism relate 2 this video? Does it support ur position?? U do know that it's ONE of many ideas about the origin of life among theists right??

I'm not sure y u mentioned the Bible. Plenty of nonChristians who hate "the good book" think homosexuality is unnatural.

Pls try 2 stay on topic. I don't deal with "church folk" OR homosexuals who carry baggage about "church folk" 4 too long.

Y do u keep talking about forcing change on a homo??

[Jakemmx]

"Y do u keep talking about forcing change on a homo??"

What do you propose if its is not attempts at change? You sure seem to think they are somehow sub-human and don't deserve rights or a non-abusive culture. It is much like continuously beating a child for being left handed, while the whole time saying (even to the child) that they don't want to change his 'sick abnormality' .. and perhaps that you are even doing it out of love.

Words and actions are two different things.

[Jakemmx]

Homosexuality is not just about the sex, it is about who you can form loving bonds with ... and it is shown to be HIGHLY determined before birth. Yea, gay people can have sex with women ... but they still are gay (and forcing that is little better than a manditory rape policy).

[FaithandReasons]

The term "homoSEXual" denotes the gender that u have SEX with, NOT the level of commitment.

The terms "monogamous, promiscuous, polygamous, bigamous, adulterous" denote the level of commitment or lack thereof.

"homosexuality is not just about the sex, it is about who u can form loving bonds with."<---?? Nice poetry, but research shows that homosexuals r doing an even worse job than heterosexuals when it comes 2 monogamy.

[Jakemmx]

Yea, and 'the research' shows that blacks do a hell of a lot worse at staying out of jail .. but I don't hold all of them accountable for it, nor do I think it just in there nature to do it.

Our culture does not support gay monogamous relationships very well, nor does it allow most gays to explore sexuality in a healthy way while growing up (attraction is reduced to nothing but a false feeling, something completely removed from the 'true feelings' you are supposed to have of the opposate sex)

[FaithandReasons]

U missed my point about lack of homosexual monogamy--->My point was that it makes no sense 4 u 2 b poetic about "loving bonds" when REALITY shows that most homosexual relationships are uncommitted.

Saying "we love each other so change the definition of marriage" isn't a good argument.

The state could care less about "love." They only care if u meet the requirements 2 obtain a marriage license & have the money 2 pay 4 it.

Homosexuals (among other groups) don't meet the requirements.

[Jakemmx]

Again, you are making extremely broad sweeping generalization of a whole group of people based on their problems (the KKK were just as justified in their views).

Homosexuals definitly DO have loving relationships, but it is hard to find and keep them a lot of time given the cultural problems the world has with it ... and those that do find it should not be punished.

Yea, the state could care less about love, or morality for that matter (rapist, murderers, theivs ... etc can get married).

[FaithandReasons]

My generalization is accurate (most homosexual relationships r uncommitted). However, my generalization wasn't an argument AGAINST homosexual psuedo-union.

It simply refutes ur poetic rhetoric that "homosexuality isn't about sex, it's about loving bonds."

B honest. The fight 4 civil psuedo-union isn't about "loving bonds." It's about approval.

[Jakemmx]

It is, infact, about some amount of social acceptance/approval, but I think that marriage (or whatever you call it) in this culture is much more than a simple legal agreement. There are (suprize!) loving couples in this world, and many of them want to support that through a recognized public decloration of their commitment.

Do you think that Rosa Parks just REALLY liked front seats? Were the appeal of interracial marriage laws ONLY about approval (they were said to not be capable of love too)

[FaithandReasons]

"Yea, gay ppl can have sex w/women...but they still r gay (& forcing that is little better than a mandatory rape policy)"<---what is ur point here? (I missed it)

Who wants 2 legislate that??

[Jakemmx]

Nobody wants to legislate that directly, but huge sections of our culture are quite adimant at abusing gays who do not. Countless gays have been married to those they have little attraction to (physically ... and quite often emotionally) out of fear of persecution, and I find it sad that they would be put in a position where they feel that living a constant and cripling lie (or even suiside) would be better than facing society or themselves.

[FaithandReasons]

People all over the world remain in undesirable situations 2 gain some1 else's approval. What is ur point??

"Most ppl think homosexuality is unnatural. In response, some homosexuals marry the opposite sex out of fear...there4 we should legalize homosexual pseudo-union"<----was this the logic that I was suppose 2 use??

[Jakemmx]

I am sorry, but you are shockingly incompetent. This has been by far the most moronic one way conversation I have ever even overheard, and I am beyond frustrated by your incapability of grasping even the most simple of points. I find it very disturbing how quickly you support widespread discrimination and how much pleasure you seem to get by exploiting your own societal problems to slander and dehumanize a whole group of people.

Pathetic is too kind a word. I'm out.

[MadKatters]

It is NOT just about sex. You are a guy right?

Right, when you fall in love with a woman, it is not just about you wanting to have sex with her right? You want to spend time with her, talk to her, love every bit of her inside and out. Thats what it is for me and another woman. Or for a man and another man.

[Jakemmx]

I would like to think love is more than just a ritual one has to go through to get your penis inside someone.

[MadKatters]

Me too.

[Jakemmx]

I think perhaps you may have misread my original post ... or otherwise I am not getting what your point was. I was trying to say that relationships, and often sexual orientations, are not just about the sex ... it is about loving relationships and bonds. Yea, some people reduce it to that .. but I think they are missing out on a beautiful part of life (and, ironically, usually much better sex ... but that is besides the point).

[MadKatters]

If you were talking to me, I was (with my original post) replying to FaithandReasons and agreeing with you (Jakemmx)

[Jakemmx]

Who gave me a thumbs down? Is love (or marriage for that matter), solely some charade someone needs to perform to release some sexual tensions? I could see people arguing for this ... but I find it kind of sad.

[3magicbeans]

Consider this, Would you think it's fine for a couple to adopt a child if the couple happen to have radical religious views, say for instance they were in a cult? , Should they have rights like you? should they be accommodated by law because they are a minority?

PS i am not anti gay just anti gay adoption, i am not against some sexy time with a couple of hot BI ladies, just wouldn't want them bringing up my child :-)

[cruelraspberry]

Do you vote?

[Jakemmx]

Some 70% of the nation is in essentially a radical religious cult. I don't see your point.

[3magicbeans]

please do not compare your struggle for equal rights with slavery lzepp. You can, should circumstances permit, raise a child if you are a gay couple or single parent, we have established that, i do not agree you should be able to adopt, nor should the law accommodate you to do so. Continued>>

[hotchocolate4855]

wait, why cant he compare them to slavery? the 1800's where a time where people discriminated against blacks and did not give them the same rights as everyone else. this is exactly whats happening now, so why not compare it?

I personally think that in later years to come, people will realize the stupid things we were saying about gays, just like we realized the stupid things we were saying about black people.

im gay and black, by the way.

=]

[3magicbeans]

lzepp88> *sigh* i know what secular means, my disagreement with gay marriage is not based on religious grounds! two men, two women or single parents are capable of bringing up a child, that is not in dispute. The ideal situation to bring up a child is in a family with a mother and a father, this is not always possible but it is an ideal for which we should all aim to achieve, so why do you think the law should make concessions for individuals based on there sexual preference? >>>continued

[3magicbeans]

there are more people who feel gay marriage is wrong than agree with it, so as we are indeed a secular democracy shouldn't it be banned? you have no moral, religious, or common sense ground that entitles you to adopt! the law is a crock of shit for allowing it. there must be some hidden agenda why they have!

[lzepp88]

i did indeed say that we need to understand those whose opinions are different than ours. and i do understand where the religious conservatives are coming from and why they DONT agre with gay marriage..but i also think that youre failing to understand what SECULAR means. we have seperation of church and state in this country.

[lzepp88]

**3partcomment look for cont** you can't take away people's RIGHTS based on a religious moral that you have. do you want to forver be stuk this way or do you want to PROGRESS towards EQUALITY? i dont understand how people fail to learn from past social injustices like slavery or the illegality of interracial marriages(in 60s). its mojority rules MINORITY RIGHTS.

[lzepp88]

*4parts now* yes most people think gay marriage is wrong, but the minorities in this country (gays in this case) still deserve their RIGHTS. so did you think slavery or banning interracial marriages was okay??? its not JUST about love either. marriage has a lot of benefits that come with it that gay people shouldnt be deprived of just because they were BORN gay.

[lzepp88]

(cont) and the courts were finally able to relaize how wrong it is to deny people the right to marriage based on race....well now they jsut have to realize how dumb it is to deny people the right to marry based on sexual orientation. who cares what the bible or god says...this is a SECULAR nation, so the bible cant influence us. and for those who are appaled by the idea of gay people marrying and being togehter..well "deal with it life's a bitch" its not directly affecting their lives.

[3magicbeans]

You said>we need to understand and respect that not everyone is or thinks the same as us. If what you say you believe then you need to respect my opinion and the opinion of others who feel gay marriage is aberrant "life's a bitch get over it" :-) continued>>>>>

[lzepp88]

that means if your churches are telling you gays are immoral (which i know they are because i was in a catholic church for 17 years), we cant make laws based on these morals because they are restricting people's CIVIL RIGHTS and EQUAL PROTECTION under the law.

[3magicbeans]

cruelraspberry> *sigh* no one is telling you you cant live together with a same sex partner. Gay marriage you feel should be a right, for many it would be against there principles and there religious belief's you have to accept some people find the thought of gay marriage aberrant, as for people hurling insults, deal with it, life's a bitch, so give as good as you get and stop bloody moaning :-)

[lzepp88]

(cont) they still get to chose who they are marrying. no one is all of a sudden forcing them t be gay. its just MORE freedom thats being opened up. more fairness. its so wrong to opress people just because of what one believes, we need to understand and respect that not everyone is or thinks the same as us..but they still deserve the same protection under the law. the law shouldnt be biased.

[3magicbeans]

No, i am not a bigot, as i am not religious, You really shouldn't get your nickers in a twist because i don't agree with you. Im fine with gays being gay in there own homes but, when it comes to gays getting married and adopting kids i decided that was just too much for me to accept, i will NOT bow to social presure that says i must accept such things. Put that in yer pipe and smoke it.

[cruelraspberry]

I'm not going to force you to believe what I believe, but I want you to realize that your "opinion" is actually hurting people. To a gay person, your words sound like just one more person that hates them. And believe, me there are lots and lots of people that hate us, openly and without shame. (Continued)...

[cruelraspberry]

...Within the past week, I have had someone lean out a car window and scream "fuck all of you faggots!" at the top of his lungs. If you could put yourself in my shoes for 1 second, you would realize how hurtful that is and how the hurt compounds with one after another person commenting on my YouTube channel, telling me that I'm somehow wrong as a person.

[lzepp88]

i am student at UCSC and im writing a paper about a social justice issue. i chose gay marriage rights. this to me is the biggest social justice and civil rights issue of our time. its ridiculus. im straight, but honestly do people never learn? this can be so easily compared to the 60s when interracial marrriages werent allowed

[3magicbeans]

In my opinion, the law of nature has made men and women compatible to have children to continue the human race, if it were not for heterosexuals there would be no more humans! so being gay dose not give you any rights, especially to marry! personally i think gay people are mentally defective, it's obvious to me because if you were wired right you would want to have children and be in a NORMAL relationship

[cruelraspberry]

Do you realize, that I've read the same exact comments from several other YouTube users, and have followed up by reading articles written by Right Wing Religious Conservatives that teach this viewpoint? Do you realize that by repeating these lies, you are hurting people? What you are saying is not true. What you are doing is repeating bigotry. Are you a bigot?

[nper31]

equal for all americans

[Wman74]

nper31: Do you mean that everything should be equal for everyone in America no matter what????? Or is that just a slogan to get people to emotionally attach themselves to your cause?

[Wman74]

WOW....fucking fagots

[cruelraspberry]

Did you look in a mirror or something?

[Wman74]

no fagot, I watched your video.

[cruelraspberry]

Oh, Really. And did you learn anything from watching my video?

[Wman74]

Nope, you quoted the wife of an activist, so what. The cold hard truth is that a marriage is a bond between two people to produce children and ensure the further of man kind. You can talk about adoption and artificial insemination all you want but two men or two women CAN NOT produce children, end of story. Not to mention that a child needs a male and female role modal in their life to grow into a healthy minded adult, this can not be done by a gay couple. Tell me I'm wrong.

[verobeachw]

Yes, you are wrong. Myself and my partner both have two children. My childrens' father is not in the picture cause he is a sexual preditor.

[verobeachw]

All four of our children are just fine without that male role model known as their father. That get their role model from their scout masters

[Wman74]

You've obviously missed or avoided my point. I'm not talking about you, your partner, and any other person you need to include. I'm talking about you and the person you wish to marry, no one else, just your immediate "family" unit. Can the two of you create a child?  Can either of you act as an example of what a good man should be? Of course not, and to say that you should be treated like those who can is just not logical.

[verobeachw]

You know what Wman74, Gays, weither you want to except it or not ARE Humans, and WE ALL are tired of bigots like you, You are nothing but homophobic, antiquated and close-minded.

[verobeachw]

sorry, my response was suppose to say " Gays ARE human, just like you, we all bleed the same, still have a heart and feels just as you do "

[Wman74]

verobeachw: Could you please point out to me were I said fags were not human or that I was scared of them, or did you just make that shit up? And why do I have to agree with your point of view to be considered open-minded? That doesn't make seance. Are people supposed to feel sorry for you now. Please don't waist "your poor poor me" routine on me it's not worth my time reading it.

[verobeachw]

No one needs to feel sorry for me, I am very confident in myself and my choices! And I chose to be with another woman.

[Wman74]

Then why do you go straight for the "bleeding hart" routine? And you still haven't answered my questions. Why do I have to share your point of view to be open-minded?

[southCSA]

Gay marrige is not a civil rights issue u int born gay like blacks are born black.

[cruelraspberry]

At what point in your development did you "decide" to be a heterosexual? My guess is, you didn't. You just were, end of story. Same with gay people. We just are. Gay people are black, and white, and olive, and every color in between. That's because it's inborn and present in every society on every continent.

[greling]

I'm black and gay, and I see unjust discrimination as the same, no matter how you spin it. It's easy to split hairs when it's not own your legal rights at stake.

And yeah, the science is already behind gayness being in-born. Google this:

'New Scientist: Survival of genetic homosexual traits explained'

[tas1961]

People do not choose to be gay. It just is. I believe is in equality for ALL people not just heterosexual people. My daughter is a filmmaker than just happens to be a lesbian. Her latest is a spoof on Avril Lavign's video "Girlfriend" clink on my name and check out Avril spoof-with a lesbian twist. Very funny and great production

[ClemClemens1111]

smart young lady, you are.

[kenrg]

Great points and great video.

[Underdog263]

Information for those who think Massachusetts supports gay marriage. The people of Massachusetts has never supported gay marriage,although some residents may support gay rights. The est. 4.1 million registered voters never voted and supported homosexual marriage in Massachusetts! It was decided by the Massachusetts legislature. It may still go on a ballot in 2008 where the voters can decide to keep gay marriage legal in Massachusetts. Democrat who supports my Governor Deval Patrick.

[cruelraspberry]

You already posted this information on one of my videos.

[alltvisanimated]

Health insurance and other benefits in our society should not be awarded based on religious belief or commitment,marriage or union. Insurance and other benefits are BUSINESS ARRANGMENTS and should be available to all people reguardless of if they are gay straight married or not. Abolish the Sanctity of Marriage! Sepparate the State from the Church! Grant rights to ALL people on an INDIVIDUAL basis!

[oliviathecanadian]

it is horrendous how they treat gay and lesbian couples, it makes me cry knowing that people do not have rights based on their sexual orientation. To all the gay and lesbian people out there keep in mind that not all straight people feel this way, we to want you to have just as much rights as we do!!! I am completely appalled at how you are being treated.

[Pelonetillo]

there's no new definition. incest and polygamy have nothing in common with gay couples.

[Pelonetillo]

zunk11, marriage between man and woman is just as relevant to polygamy and incest as same sex marriage. if they were "redefining marriage" then there wouldn't be a need to amend the constitution now, would there? lol

[zunk11]

Right, and we don't allow incest or polygamy, OR same sex marriage. The need(or not) of a Const. amendment woud be because of what some court judges decides constitutes marriage. It woud be the same judges that might determine that 2 cousins or several freinds couldn't marry each other. IOW, they would ban the obvious rights of other "non-traditional" marriages in order to preserve their new definition for 2 person gay marriage.

[pixe18uk]

I think the point is that no one wants to change marriage as a union of 2 consenting adults, i think gay people just want to be able to do what straight people do.

[zunk11]

Well if Corretta Scott King sez it...geez, it's not a civil rights issue because it's not a right! If it's a civil rights issue, than they would be descriminating against 2 brothers who wanted to marry, 2 sisters, mom and daughter, father-son, or heck, the civi right to marry nine people. Do they have that civil right too?

[cruelraspberry]

You failed to prove your point. The denial of marriage equality to REAL PEOPLE in a loving committed relationship, does not compare in the slightest with your <b>hypothetical</b> incestual marriages. Plus I haven't heard of ANY pairings of close relatives asking for a legally recognized relationship. Have you?

[zunk11]

These are not REAL PEOPLE? By YOUR estimation? It's hypothetical because it's not allowed, just like same sex in most places. Why would the marriage be incestual(involving sex)? That's YOUR bias. If you redefine marriage, you can't descriminate against those wanting to marry siblings, or marry 10 people. And oh yes, it would be challenged.

[zunk11]

...and it would be challenged right away by..anyone wanting the tax advantages of a legal marriage. A whole college dorm, military buddies, cousins. There'd be no more stigma. Once your 'civil right' changes marriage, who are YOU to deny others non-traditional 'civil rights'? Your arguments fall apart like a cheap suit because of your insistance of the civil rights angle for only one group.

[homoxrainbow]

I have two words for you.... thank you ^__^

[Pelonetillo]

banning gay marriage is unconstitutional. hence the amendment. i don't think the average american understands that a ban on gay marriage requires a change to the constitution that maintains our great society.

[KayTwoK2]

Wow, thank you for thoes quotes! They are beautiful.

Wonderful video! It totally sucks that gay people can't get married. I mean, it is f*cking incomprehensible and wrong! It makes me want to strangle people who are against gay marriage.

[lakisani]

great vid, and awesome quotes used. (cute pics too :)

[ShalomSpirit]

Excellent video, excellent music choice! ::smile:: Keep up the great work, Beth! We're will ya all the way on the opposite side of the nation! Shalom and Blessings~!

[ShalomSpirit]

OK what I meant to say is We're WITH you all the way on the opposite side of the nation. Sheesh!

[ShalomSpirit]

Hey raspberry! Thanks for the video, which I placed diligently in my GLBT video folder ::smile:: My partner always says: "No taxation without representation" She's a social worker and wants to stop paying taxes due to the fact that we can't legally marry and recieve ALL the civil rights afforded to het tax paying citizens. I'm with her! NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION! Great job!

[naughtyboynsc]

INFORMATION is the best weapon against IGNORANCE, thank you for all of your efforts to inform those that haven't a clue. Governments spend too much money fighting against equality. No matter how hard it is to endure, the ones fighting for equality prevail. Thank you for leading the way, WITH KNOWLEDGE!

[cruelraspberry]

Thank you.

[smthomas23]

No its NOT!! This is such a lame argument!! God created Adam and Eve and not Adam and Steve!! This WILL NEVER HAPPEN!!! I love everyone!!! But I wont allow God's principles to be compromised for others benefits for an alternative lifestyle.

[cruelraspberry]

If you're going to use The Bible to argue against civil marriage recognition for gay people, you really should put more thought into what you say. Because the Adam and Eve argument is one of the weakest one can make. Just because the first humans were Adam and Eve, does not lead to the conclusion that the only acceptable sexuality is hetero.

I love your dry humor and wit! Why can't men birth a child? Or without Invirto Women cannot conceive! Its real simple God did not intend for this to happen. man has become wicked and wants sin to co-exist with God and thinks that he will ACCEPT IT!!! Guess what!? He wont!!

[cruelraspberry]

Do you realllllllllly think that gay people would exist if THE ALMIGHTY did not intend it? What arrogance! I don't claim to know God's thoughts, but perhaps God is testing you. God wants to know how you treat people different than you. Guess what? You failed.

I love all people but I just disagree with their ideaology when it comes to unions (Marriages) that is ALL. We live and work and diversity is certain just about everyday so I pray for ALL people and I wont beat them over the head about Chrisitianity nor will I judge them. But based upon this argument the Bible(God) disagrees with it. Remember what happened to Sodom and Gommorah?

actually God has never once given his opinion on homosexuality. ever. he never said a word on the subject. the Bible was written by mortals. your connection with god is no more stable than my internet connection on a rainy sunday.

Are you blind to what the issue is really about, or are you just plain stupid?

Well done, there appears to be so many contradictions within our fragile democracy. Thanks for speaking out with such clarity and wisdom.
