Homosexual activists understand the power of words.
Please visit my channel to watch a one-minute video clip in which popular atheist author Richard Dawkins admits that homosexual activists "hijacked the word 'gay'".
The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate because it, unlike the word "gay", actually describes the behavior/attraction/relationship being discussed.
The word "gay" helps homosexual activists push their agenda.
@ih8faggots1000 my husband and I got 7K back in Federal and state taxes last year. Many people are unaware that the IRS was sued and now gay couples in California can get joint FEDERAL tax refunds. We are also filing back Federal taxes for 2008 and 2009.
@ih8faggots1000 marriage is a legal contract, and has nothing to do with your sky fairy. Get over it. I'm married and not a damn thing you yahoos can do about it in Arkansas! LOL!
@ih8faggots1000 yep, I'm a very PROUD faggot! That's because faggots outperform straight men in income, education, travel and frequency and quality of sex. Now, go shoot yourself with your fat mama's gun in PIne Bluff, Arkansas, where you live in that trailer park. Did you notice my comment got 50 thumbs up?
I feel that giving one group of people certain rights and denying another group of people those same rights is nothing but prejudice and ignorance. One day we'll figure out that homosexuality is something that people are born with. Let me ask all of the homophobics out there one question: Is being heterosexual you're choice. Could you be sexually attracted to the same sex if you tryed to?
One day I believe even the slightest opposition to this subject will be considered prejudice.
Its been unsuccesful heterosexual marriages that have eroded the institution over the years and who are making it meaningless. Its cheating, unfaithful straight people not gay couples who want to marry so much they are fighting for it. The couples who want to marry value marriage which is why they are trying so hard to become part of it.
Thats your opinion and your religious conviction, in the US church and state are seperated so I'm sorry but your opinion is no more then that and has no solid ground.
@JavierCA2008 Who gave you (and Christians) the right to define evil? ''Separation of church and state'' ring a bell. If you think homosexuality is wrong, don't have gay sex and don't marry somone of the same sex.
Being Gay is not natural. Stop acting like its normal cause its not. Natural is when a Man and woman get married and "concieve" childeren. Gays can't do that. If a wife and husband walk around a park holding hands with kids playing thats normal. Its not the same when 2 men are holding hands. People would feel weird because its just not normal. i believe it also confuses childeren. If Gays get their way the huuman race will be wiped because we will not be able to reproduce.
Gays will use that to flaunt their sex life style. the next step will be to force the view of gay marriage in schools. just look at the gay parades in S.F. so immature and sick when the walk around dressed like dragqueens, leather suits with their ass showing. or when gays went into a catholic church and disrespected the catholic religion. thats what i was thinking about when i voted on prop 8 .That is what the gay community is portraying to the people. gays need to seperate from that image,
lets use that rational and apply to to all the straight people in the world. i guess we shouldn't give them rights either. why do you hate gay people?
i dont hate gays...just because i dont agree with gay marriage im a biggot or if i dont agree with Obama im racist.. thats getting old..lets just keep blaming everything on Pres. G W Bush
now i don't think people who disagree with obama are racists, they aren't that'sa ridiculous claim. but being against gay marriage is denying a specific group of people their rights. its a separate issue entirely.
No, you're just blatantly ignorant when you think gays are trying to wipe out the human race by fighting for equal rights/benefits in governmental law.
If you don't hate gays, at least try not to sound so stupid if you do support the GLBT at all.
that is a really ignorant thing to say. that's a stereo type, that is like saying every african american is amazing at sports, and every white person is white trash. you obivously don't know anyone that is gay,and it seems like until you do you won't have compassion and MORALS to feel that taking someones civil rights away is WRONG
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Someones civil rights, as in taking away someones right to marry is wrong, their sexual orientation obivously isn't a civil right...i don't know how you could of interpreted that the wrong way. As for the genes comment, I am going to assume you are joking, because that's retarded.
@kcchiefsbaby you are so incredibly dilusional. if homosexual people gain the ability to wed, how does that stop straight people from having children? I do not know a SINGLE person who has just decided they wanted to become gay, infact, most say that that is how they have been ever sense they can remember. So, that being said, maybe you should re-think your definition of natural, because I am pretty sure it didnt happen from an un-natural accurance, such as toxic waste. I know I have no powers..
i'm so over this god damn bullshit, MAINE! all you bible breathing bigots... learn something else other than an over-translated piece of archaic mythology. homosexual behavior is observed in at least 1500 species so why are we having the fucking debate?? if god exists, it's an amazing being... but some "followers" are god damn crazy. educate yourselves. love everyone. mind your own business. shut up. get over it.
Put bigotry on the ballot, and it will win every time. Few things are harder for people to resist than an opportunity to deprive others of what they themselves are free to take for granted.
If racial integration and women's suffrage had been left up to "the people" in previous decades, we'd still have "restricted" neighborhoods, "colored only" drinking fountains, and a nonvoting female population.
@ma7799 hey, dumbass, haven't you gotten out of the states yet? Still riding trains instead of planes, I see. I'm about to go to Brazil. It's my fourth trip to South America in four years. Too bad you're a loser and can't afford such a trip. And, no, the fags and dykes are GAINING our rights, dumbass. Don't you pick up a newspaper once in a while? Ever heard of DADT? Ever heard of the Prop 8 case which will lead to gay marriage returning to CA? Apparently, you are sheltered...
Don't worry, when AIDS spread faster among you perverts, you will die off faster and this farce will pass. Oh yeah, the newspaper only prints what it wants to, especially articles that are written by fags and dykes.
@ma7799 don't worry, you're more at risk for AIDS than I am. It's a fact that 90 percent of the world's AIDS cases are caused by heterosexual sex. And, this is the World Health Organization's stats not a newspaper...
@ma7799 and, the heterosexual HIV infections surpassed those of gay men in the UK in 2009.... Look it up, dumbass. And, why don't you get off your ass and travel by an airplane instead of train? It's 2010, not 1940... I just flew 26 hours from California to South America, while you sat on your ass in the Midwest...
@ma7799 heterosexual intercourse is now responsible for 80-90% of all HIV transmissions worldwide. The current likelihood of male to female infection after a single exposure to HIV is 0.01-0.32%, and the current likelihood of female to male infection after a single exposure is 0.01-0.1%. These estimates are mostly derived from studies in the developed world. However, a man or a woman can become HIV-positive after just one sexual contact.
@ma7799 oh, I forgot to mention, I'm STILL MARRIED LEGALLY in CA! I got the last laugh asshole. In fact, we just celebrated our second anniversary by going to Denmark. It's a country in Europe, in case you haven't read about it. There are no trains to Denmark from the USA, although we did take a train from Denmark to Sweden.
@ma7799 check your inbox. You might want to be worried about the latest polls. The last two national polls on gay marriage confirmed that gay marriage now has MAJORITY support in CA and the USA. So, do you still want to be voting on it? Didn't think so.... I don't think civil rights should EVER be on the ballot, otherwise, bigoted ignorant assholes such as yourself are making decisions best left up to the courts and legislatures to decide. Voting on civil rights is IMMORAL....
Gonzo4.. (whatever you name is)... the bible is written by men inspired by the Holy Spirit.. so God is the author of the bible.. and yes God does say throughout the entire bible that homosexuality is a sin.. what can come from two men kissing? NOTHING.. same with two women.. there is a reason for that.. come on even animals know better then you.. Repent of your sins man ask Jesus into your life and stop sinning....SMH ..-_-
Apparently you are unaware (or more likely CLUELESS) that 450 species of animals mate with same sex partners FOR LIFE! Stop saying homosexuality is unnatural, because it is rampant in the animal kingdom Watch this youtube vid:
Homosexuality in the animal kingdom (National Geographic) Got anything else to say? Oh, yeah, I forgot the bible says the earth is 6000 years old- WRONG! It has been proven to be MILLIONS of years old..
What I don't understand is why ppl always think it's just religious ppl who are anti-gay marriage. There are a lot of non-religious ppl who are against it too. I think religious ppl are more vocal about the issue but it's not like they're the only ones against it.
First whites wanted to marry blacks. And I didn't speak up because I wasn't black. Then men wanted to marry homosexuals. And I didn't speak up becuase I wasn't a homosexual. Then women wanted to marry lesbians. And I didn't speak up becuase I wasn't a lesbian. Then they came for my lobster...
"Maine Values" Same as the other 31 states which have voted on this issue. Sorry Homosexual Agenda, the majority in every single state still believes that you are deviants.
You're a deviant. You can't give one legitimate reason why gays don't have the right to get married, and you can't give one example of their "deviance", because all you have to cite is the Bible, a book. A written by a collection of men, not God. GOD never told anyone that homosexuality is evil, men did, in spite of the romans who practiced same sex relations reguarly in orgies. Read an actual book and maybe you'd learn something real, not a story about a man living in a whale...hateful prick...
This is an excellent video. Gay marrige will eventually result when enough old farts finally croak. And yes, I know that some old people support Gay marriage, but most don't.
Monsterquestions.... so you are suggesting that changing demographics over time are going to shift the majority? Ummmm... guess which is the largest growing demograhic across this country.... minorities. Want to know how blacks and hispanics vote on the gay marriage issue???? Nearly 2-1 against. Nice try. Demographic changes over time won't help the gay agenda here.
It has been statistically demonstrated that majority of the naysayers are also GenXers, and the younger generations of today are more tolerant, culturally and socially diverse, and less religious.
So god-botherers, you can keep marriage today. Soon you will all be dead, and your children will carry the torch of human equality into the future without you. God bless them.
Being gay and growing up in a born-again Christian family, I can tell you that most likely the majority of the people in Maine who voted "yes" on question 1 truly and honestly believe that they are protecting themeselves and their families from evil. Any evidence contrary to that belief is met with sticking their fingers in their ears and shouting, "La La La. I can't hear you!"
You want to know how gays really are, look what happened after Prop 8 passed with flying colors in liberal California.
Opponents of Prop. 8 targeted supporters with a range of hostility, including harassment, intimidation, vandalism, racial scapegoating, blacklisting, loss of employment, economic hardships, angry protests, violence, at least one death threat, and gross expressions of anti-religious bigotry, the report stated.
Vandalism included a brick thrown through the window of an elderly couple who put a Yes on 8 sign in their lawn. Another senior citizen with a pro-Prop. 8 bumper sticker had her cars rear window smashed.
A statue of the Virgin Mary was vandalized with orange paint. Swastikas and other graffiti were scrawled on the walls of Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in San Francisco. At Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Riverside, signs were twisted into the shape of a swastika.
On the Dr. Phil show, responding to a Mormon questioner, he replied: We are going to go after your church every day for the next two years unless and until Prop 8 is overturned.
Racial epithets were used at anti-Prop. 8 protests, while Joe Solmonese, head of the Human Rights Campaign, targeted the Mormons.
These are a few of the wonderful things the gays do. I thought we were supposed to be sensitive to other people's rights?
The truth is, gays need good counseling and many prayers.
Vote YES on 1 for the sake of humanity and traditional marriage.
Do you really think homosexuals care about marriage? They just want to validated because they know the majority of Americans do not agree with their lifestyle.
Gays want to be recognized as normal by re-defining marriage and getting the tax breaks that REAL families get in REAL marriages.
You can cry and grind your teeth, Prop 1 will pass.
Once prop 1 passes, the gays are going to start making death threats and hating.
I am a complete and confident individual, occupying myself successfully in this life because of the advantage I was given in being raised in a balanced home with a father and a mother. Any other family combination is less than ideal.
Oh goodness, another educated fool with time on his hands. Ok, so show me statistics and proof that "traditional" (no such thing) marriage will become devalued after gay marriage is passed? I can prove to you that more than 20 countries abide and function by gay marriage.
Obviously you are bi and you were given the choice to be gay or straight, or both. Do you believe every straight person had the choice or the attraction? Some gay people don't either.
Sexuality is absolutely a choice. Are you for real? There are only two gender possibilities and they involve no choice. You are born either male or female. But how you live your life is a choice you make every day. Grow up and take responsibility for your choices instead of trying to blame someone else.
Gender identification is a complex issue. It is a continuum, not a binary. Cross dressers, transvestites, transgenders, genderqueers and others don't fit your man/woman illusion.
Gender identification is not a choice, and neither is sexual orientation.
Well, I we could continue an immature "yeah huh, nah huh...etc." But I I will be content with one repitition. Gender is identified in any arena I am aware of but for arguments sake I will say 99% of all public arenas--political, social, religious, educational--all participants are classifed according to simple gender-->male or female. Period. Tax return? Apartment questionarre? Birth certificate? Any other classification is merely preferential and an illussion.
Why shouldn't gays have the right to get married? Who can give us the right to fall in love with a specific gender? I'm not a homosexual, but I think that in America, we have rights. Rights to get married should apply to everyone, not just those of a certain party or religion.
I'm sick of watching people's rights taken away by ignorance and misinformation. We are denied rights that we should be granted every day in this country. War on Drugs, War on Gays, War on terror, where's it end...?
Marriage Equality will lead all sorts of bad things! Like, polygamy, bestiality, incest, legalized crystal meth, cannibalism, and Ellen Degenerates reruns 24 hours a day!
We have nothing to prove that these things will happen, but we're pretty sure it will, and that's good enough for us!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some Elton John CD's to burn.
Gays have rights, who says they can't sleep around with each other and destroy their souls. Who is stopping gays from doing sinful acts in their bedrooms? Nobody is stopping them.
Why do gays have the right to re-define marriage? Why should any lifestyle re-define marriage just because you feel like it?
Gays are free, it obvious to me we all have freedom. But the freedom we enjoy is a freedom to do good. Not a freedom to live a sinful lifestyle.
You are sinning by condemning and judging others. You are not God, so back off.
How are we redefining marriage, and what is the traditional marriage?
Are you honestly claiming that we have the same rights? There is more than marriage that we are being denied. You need to go back to the drawing board and actually pay attention. Stop listening to others words and find out the information for yourself.
What God do you follow, and why are my beliefs/faith not equal to yours. Just like you, i want to follow, and preach, and live my religion. You are against the constitution in trying to render my faith, due to freedom of religion. Also, God created Adam and Eve, and they had two sons. So where did their offspring come from? There are 20 countries and some odd states that support and function by gay marriage. Try to prove anything else, and i can shut you down.
You are walking on ice if you are going to use Europe as a model for success! With increasing debate about 'the end of the world' and serious consideration by experts, what have been doing the last 50 years is all wrong. And we are only beginning to reap the consequences. (Don't be silly about the Adam and Even thing...you are making me laugh. )
Also, gender is not a choice, but every person does have a choice how they will express their sexuality. And it is definitely a moral choice.
Europe and 20 other countries are my model. Now prove it doesnt work instead of making false claims.
People thought the world was ending during the depression, over 50 years ago.
What is so silly about the Bible?
Although you are bisexual and you were presented with the choice to choose man or woman, does not mean all straight people have the same choice, and same for gay people. What age did you decide to be straight? How is it morally wrong to be gay? Wheres any evidence?
in Maine you don't need a retarded church or a retarded religion to get married. All you need is a State issued Marriage license and a notary republic.
If you want to live together fine but don't fores the Catholic church to marry you and don't stop me from telling my kids other wise. I know what I want them to learn and it is not to tolorate homosex marriage
Musik, the Catholic church isn't forced to marry anyone it doesn't want to. It doesn't have to marry Buddhists. It doesn't have to marry atheists. It doesn't have to marry Hindus. And it doesn't have to marry gays. That won't change. Your church is a *private* institution and therefore it can discriminate. And you can teach your kids whatever you want.
no church, as has been stated before, would be forced to do anything...they never have been. This is about civil marriages, just like an atheist is allowed. You can tell your kids any views you want (turns out though tthat they are going to make up their own damn mind heh)
are u dumb on purpose? Uneducated ? sure sound like it....U do NOT need a religion to give u permisssion to marry by a Justice of the peace......stick your buy-bull up your ass.
You're right. The Catholic Church will never marry gays or lesbians. And no one is asking them to. Marriage equality is not about religious marriage. It's about CIVIL marriage.
It also isn't about teaching it in schools, or any other of the many other lies organizations like NOM try to perpetuate.
If you're against same-sex marriage, that's fine. Don't marry someone of the same sex.
I agree with most of what you said. But one thing is very clear to me. Once the state legalizes homosexual marriages, they WILL be teaching this new type of marriage in ALL public schools.
There is a case currently in one of our states where the parent of a child that attends a public school wanted to opt out of the Homo Ed. But he homosexual movement is trying to fight the parent saying she has no right to opt out.
Homosexuality will be taught in schools, work place and maybe even churches.
It is being taught in schools right now. The indoctrination has begun and Americans are asleep. You will see more parents homeschooling because of this new threat to our children. Children in public schools are doomed to more sex ed and homo ed being rammed into their minds. 20 more years from now America will be in worse shape than it has ever been, socially speaking.
Churches are not government institutions, they will not be required to teach or preach anything condoning homosexuality, it would be a 1st Amendment violation.
Work place? Since when do you learn about anything sexual in the work place?
Schools... see previous post. In California, the superintendent himself made a commercial saying that gay marriage would not be required to be taught in schools.
Obviously homosexuality is very very tempting to you. You are on the border of jumping into same sex rituals, and we are just enticing you so much. Evidently, since you think we can entice kids too. Homeschool your hateful kids, and maybe there wont be as many hate crimes and gay suicides each year. Stop teaching murder and start teaching further opening your minds. Youre stuck in old beliefs, like racism. You need to also update yourself on your facts and learn to love, not hate.
Homosexuality is a sin according to God who made us and created the universe.
The homosexual act is not a natural one.
Thanks for thinking that gays entice me, I think that was funny. I actually feel sorry for gay people because they are deceiving themselves into believing that their lifestyle is normal when it truly is twisted.
Gays need help and most importantly, prayer.
Jesus and Mary, please help the gay people realize that they are living a lie, and help them to see the truth. Amen!
You know what isn't natural? A man living inside the belly of a whale. You know what isn't natural? A burning bush that speaks. You know what isn't natural? Hate.
YOU need help, dickhead. Gays are people, too, and they should have every right we do. They can vote, they can rent a car, they can own a gun. But no marriage?
This reminds me of the judge down south who wouldn't marry a couple because they were interracial. Same thing, prejudice and xenophobia, but mostly hate. Shove it up you ass.
You seem very unnatural to me, the way you are behaving and cursing people out. I would consider your actions as hateful, inconsiderate and insensitive. Does that sound familiar?
I'm learning the gay agenda and their way of thinking in order to defend my Christian faith.
Jesus and Mary, please have mercy on Gonzo, he needs your help.
You can not be offensive when defending American rights. Lean this.
You are being offensive, by denying my rights.
You preach hate. Did Jesus ever call Mary a sinner? Did Jesus discriminate against Mary? Did he ever disrespect her and call her a slutty cunt whore? You are not following your words, your Bible, or your God. You need to reconsider your morals and values, and then come out with a solid opinion backed by facts.
Organized religion is destroying this planet, and you neo-nazi christians and the muslims are shining examples of that degradation. If God loved me, he'd go Monty Python and stomp you all into Hell.
You're only defense for your beliefs is one line in a book written a thousand years ago, by MEN, not GOD. The commandment against gays was put there to spite the romans. Read a real book...maybe you'll learn something. Or do you just burn real books?
Wow, you have so much hate. You need Jesus in your life. Just say, "Jesus, please help me, I'm a terrible sinner, have compassion on me, please hear me Lord."
God will hear you and you will be a better person.
1tontomato, just say "God, I'm a gullible imbecile completely lacking any shred of the ablity to think for myself."
Instead of defending yourself with valid arguments you spit your prayers at me, make biggoted comments towards the gays, and still you won't acknowledge that you can't win this argument, even with, what you believe to be, God on your side.
You sit by while innocent human beings are oppressed and you support it with every fiber of your dismal existence.
If you're talking about Mass., there was no "Homo Ed"
It was a story book.
And the parents didn't just want their kid to opt out, they wanted the school to pull the book completely because they felt it was sex education. It obviously was not. The book didn't teach about homosexuality or marriage, it taught that kids come from many different types of families. The school refused because schools do not change their curriculum based on one or even two sets of complaining parents.
Christian story books do not belong in public schools because there is a separation of church and state, and not every child comes from a Christian household.
My argument would be, not every child comes from a homosexual home because homosexuals cannot conceive naturally speaking.
All children are conceived from a male and a female usually by natural means.
Therefore homosexual education or story books should also be banned from school for the simple fact that it is not a natural union but a lifestyle. Lifestyles should not be part of general education. A lifestyle is a way of living that should not influence the established orders.
Children also do not spontaneously generate from single parents, yet we all know that some children live with one parent for one reason or another.
Some children live with same-sex parents, some live with grandparents, some were adopted, etc. Yes, all children are conceived by a male and female, but that doesn't mean they are raised by them.
It doesn't matter how the kids got to be in their parental situation, the fact remains that not every child has the same family structure.
I agree, but most children do not choose to live with gay types, it is imposed upon them because they are under age.
It is obvious to me that gays cannot naturally conceive because it is a dead end, a fruitless union. So they go looking for other people's kids adopt and pass on their degenerate way of life.
There is no such thing as same sex parents, same sex parents cannot conceive naturally. It is silly to call them parents when they are not. A parent is one who gives birth to the child.
Then in that case, straight parents who cannot conceive naturally aren't really parents either by your logic. I'm willing to be there are a lot of adopted children out there that would argue with you.
Either way, the issue here is same sex marriage, not gays raising children. If a gay couple chooses to raise a child, they will do so with or without legal marriage.
So denying gay couples the right to be married because of the children holds no water.
That is correct, people who cannot conceive naturally are not true parents, they are foster parents. They are called guardians. but the beauty about foster parents is that it is a natural union and not a false one like that of the homosexuals.
A lie can never be true. Truth can never be a lie.
So, then I guess these adopted kids should start calling their mommies and daddies guardians!
And I really hope some adoptive parents see this ridiculous post of yours and reply to you so you can tell them personally how they aren't really parents.
The fact that it mentions gays in the book as a type of family is in fact education. Anything that is told or taught in public schools is education, from Darwin's theory to gay lifestyles.
They are equating gay lifestyle to be normal as that of a heterosexual, which is very wrong. They are trying to blur the lines from what is right and true and mixing it with something that is unnatural and wicked.
"They are equating gay lifestyle to be normal as that of a heterosexual..."
No. They. Are. Not.
They are saying that kids have different types of families at home. Some have a single parents. Some live with a grandparents. Some live with a Mom and Dad. Some have two same sex parents.
Which is taboo. You are comparing natural differences among families with taboo. Keep trying to sugar-coat it, but the last example really sticks out as being sick and unnatural.
It doesn't matter if you like it or not. Kids with same sex parents is a reality.
But the issue at hand is not same sex parenting, but marriage equality. Same-sex parenting is something that goes on regardless of them being allowed to be married.
"No one is telling Christians that they have to accept anything! "
Yes it will; because it will result in all "religious" people being discriminated against as being intolerant. Christians are standing up for themselves by protecting traditional marriage.
That would make sense if traditional marriage were really under attack, but it is not. It's not like states only perform a certain number of marriages every year and same-sex marriages would eat up all the marriage licenses.
Same-sex marriages do NOTHING to traditional marriages.
The traditional marriage is attacked when groups are now trying to redifine to include same-sex couples. This dilutes its sanctity and uniqueness. This encourages moral chaos in society and by increasing the size of the marriage net, you lesson the benefits enjoyed by those already covered under the definition of a traditional marriage. Traditional marriage is indeed under attack. We are sending our youth the message that marriage is not lofty and unique, but is mere co-habitation.
A bit dramtic? Rome? Sodom and Gomorrah? Violence in San Fransisco? Marches on Churches, beating on doors disrupting services by motivated pro-gay mobs? Yes, Dramatic, but true. To tear down walls of morality which are the defense of society can only result in moral chaos.
You are WRONG. WE DO NOT HAVE ALL OF THE SAME RIGHTS GRANTED TO HETEROSEXUALS.
Simply look it up, damn. You make all of these false claims. Who are you listening to and stop listening! I will tell you now, i have no problem with Christians in public schools, and where im from, there hasnt been any problems. But there have been hate crimes towards gays in my area.
You preach forgiveness, but you are chastising and condemning me to an unchangeable outcome, regardless if i believe Jesus.
And, once again, the book in Mass was NOT homosexual education. It taught nothing about the homosexual "lifestyle". Only that kids have all type of families at home.
That book mentions all type of families, but because a few of the pages mention that some kids are raised by two parents of the same gender, all of a sudden it's "gay education".
Also, not every child is raised by their biological family. You would never tell a heterosexual couple who have adopted that they are not a family.
"There is a case currently in one of our states where the parent of a child that attends a public school wanted to opt out of the Homo Ed. But he homosexual movement is trying to fight the parent saying she has no right to opt out."
It's called brainwashing. Once this sort of thing is pushed on society, it will never really stop anywhere.
I was never taught marriage in school, nor will my kids. Marriage is a sacred ceremony that requires commitment and a value of love, something so important and fundamental to all Americans, that i will be parenting my kids about the subject, and not leaving everything up to the school to explain. Its called sex education, not Homo Ed - that is hate speech. Obviously your old tactics didnt extinct the gays, so why do think these will help end educating people and fighting for our rights?
I would follow your suggestion with a suggestion of my own. If you you are in favor of same-sex marriage don't force me and my future children into societal climate with no rights and no wrongs--chaos.
Most crimes are wrong because they impose on others rights. How is being gay imposing on your rights, or gay marriage or gay parents? Also, there has never been an instance where a church was forced to marry two individuals. You need to go back to the drawing board, and with a couple of other people preferrably smarter than you, and come to some better conclusions than this misguided, misinformed hate speech. When we get marriage rights, you will be responsible for your words.
The fact that you have chosen to use the word "TOLERATE" is a problem. We live in a country that is free and welcoming, we ACCEPT everyone. The only people who have to "TOLERATE" anything are ignorant.
gays are responsible for everything, even tho the world's ruled by straight men/religion, gays somehow are to blame for all the worlds problems, children are always at the forefront of the argument against equality for gays, but wars hunger poverty kills millions children yearly, straight men begin these actions which kill children, so tell me again who do children need to be protected from, and remember that GOD is watching you and GOD is not about hate and lies
Some say that because they believe gay people choose to be gay, then they shouldn't be considered a protective group. I know that being gay is "hard-wired" into you, but even if it wasn't...
Remember that it's also illegal to discriminate on the basis of religion... which is something you def CAN change...
So why do we have discrimination based on sexual orientation? Because it's bigotry & fear that is cloaked in religion.
Keep civil marriage separate from religion. Support equality!

I feel that giving one group of people certain rights and denying another group of people those same rights is nothing but prejudice and ignorance. One day we'll figure out that homosexuality is something that people are born with. Let me ask all of the homophobics out there one question: Is being heterosexual you're choice. Could you be sexually attracted to the same sex if you tryed to?
One day I believe even the slightest opposition to this subject will be considered prejudice.
Mcafeegood222 1 year ago
Its been unsuccesful heterosexual marriages that have eroded the institution over the years and who are making it meaningless. Its cheating, unfaithful straight people not gay couples who want to marry so much they are fighting for it. The couples who want to marry value marriage which is why they are trying so hard to become part of it.

Being Gay is not natural. Stop acting like its normal cause its not. Natural is when a Man and woman get married and "concieve" childeren. Gays can't do that. If a wife and husband walk around a park holding hands with kids playing thats normal. Its not the same when 2 men are holding hands. People would feel weird because its just not normal. i believe it also confuses childeren. If Gays get their way the huuman race will be wiped because we will not be able to reproduce.

You want to know how gays really are, look what happened after Prop 8 passed with flying colors in liberal California.
Opponents of Prop. 8 targeted supporters with a range of hostility, including harassment, intimidation, vandalism, racial scapegoating, blacklisting, loss of employment, economic hardships, angry protests, violence, at least one death threat, and gross expressions of anti-religious bigotry, the report stated.

Vandalism included a brick thrown through the window of an elderly couple who put a Yes on 8 sign in their lawn. Another senior citizen with a pro-Prop. 8 bumper sticker had her cars rear window smashed.

Gays have rights, who says they can't sleep around with each other and destroy their souls. Who is stopping gays from doing sinful acts in their bedrooms? Nobody is stopping them.
Why do gays have the right to re-define marriage? Why should any lifestyle re-define marriage just because you feel like it?

I agree with most of what you said. But one thing is very clear to me. Once the state legalizes homosexual marriages, they WILL be teaching this new type of marriage in ALL public schools.
There is a case currently in one of our states where the parent of a child that attends a public school wanted to opt out of the Homo Ed. But he homosexual movement is trying to fight the parent saying she has no right to opt out.

Obviously homosexuality is very very tempting to you. You are on the border of jumping into same sex rituals, and we are just enticing you so much. Evidently, since you think we can entice kids too. Homeschool your hateful kids, and maybe there wont be as many hate crimes and gay suicides each year. Stop teaching murder and start teaching further opening your minds. Youre stuck in old beliefs, like racism. You need to also update yourself on your facts and learn to love, not hate.

Homosexuality is a sin according to God who made us and created the universe.
The homosexual act is not a natural one.
Thanks for thinking that gays entice me, I think that was funny. I actually feel sorry for gay people because they are deceiving themselves into believing that their lifestyle is normal when it truly is twisted.
Gays need help and most importantly, prayer.
Jesus and Mary, please help the gay people realize that they are living a lie, and help them to see the truth. Amen!

You know what isn't natural? A man living inside the belly of a whale. You know what isn't natural? A burning bush that speaks. You know what isn't natural? Hate.
YOU need help, dickhead. Gays are people, too, and they should have every right we do. They can vote, they can rent a car, they can own a gun. But no marriage?
This reminds me of the judge down south who wouldn't marry a couple because they were interracial. Same thing, prejudice and xenophobia, but mostly hate. Shove it up you ass.

God loves you Gonzo and so do I.
You seem very unnatural to me, the way you are behaving and cursing people out. I would consider your actions as hateful, inconsiderate and insensitive. Does that sound familiar?
I'm learning the gay agenda and their way of thinking in order to defend my Christian faith.
Jesus and Mary, please have mercy on Gonzo, he needs your help.
God love you brother.

Wait, did you just say you were gay?
You can not be offensive when defending American rights. Lean this.
You are being offensive, by denying my rights.
You preach hate. Did Jesus ever call Mary a sinner? Did Jesus discriminate against Mary? Did he ever disrespect her and call her a slutty cunt whore? You are not following your words, your Bible, or your God. You need to reconsider your morals and values, and then come out with a solid opinion backed by facts.

You're only defense for your beliefs is one line in a book written a thousand years ago, by MEN, not GOD. The commandment against gays was put there to spite the romans. Read a real book...maybe you'll learn something. Or do you just burn real books?

Instead of defending yourself with valid arguments you spit your prayers at me, make biggoted comments towards the gays, and still you won't acknowledge that you can't win this argument, even with, what you believe to be, God on your side.
You sit by while innocent human beings are oppressed and you support it with every fiber of your dismal existence.

If you're talking about Mass., there was no "Homo Ed"
It was a story book.
And the parents didn't just want their kid to opt out, they wanted the school to pull the book completely because they felt it was sex education. It obviously was not. The book didn't teach about homosexuality or marriage, it taught that kids come from many different types of families. The school refused because schools do not change their curriculum based on one or even two sets of complaining parents.

If it's just a story book and harmless. Why don't we have Christian story books in public schools if they are harmless?
There is an agenda, it cannot be ignored.
1tontomato 2 years ago
The agenda is equal rights and nothing more.
Christian story books do not belong in public schools because there is a separation of church and state, and not every child comes from a Christian household.
bearchewtoy75 2 years ago
My argument would be, not every child comes from a homosexual home because homosexuals cannot conceive naturally speaking.
All children are conceived from a male and a female usually by natural means.
Therefore homosexual education or story books should also be banned from school for the simple fact that it is not a natural union but a lifestyle. Lifestyles should not be part of general education. A lifestyle is a way of living that should not influence the established orders.
1tontomato 2 years ago
Children also do not spontaneously generate from single parents, yet we all know that some children live with one parent for one reason or another.
Some children live with same-sex parents, some live with grandparents, some were adopted, etc. Yes, all children are conceived by a male and female, but that doesn't mean they are raised by them.
It doesn't matter how the kids got to be in their parental situation, the fact remains that not every child has the same family structure.
bearchewtoy75 2 years ago
I agree, but most children do not choose to live with gay types, it is imposed upon them because they are under age.
It is obvious to me that gays cannot naturally conceive because it is a dead end, a fruitless union. So they go looking for other people's kids adopt and pass on their degenerate way of life.
There is no such thing as same sex parents, same sex parents cannot conceive naturally. It is silly to call them parents when they are not. A parent is one who gives birth to the child.
1tontomato 2 years ago
Then in that case, straight parents who cannot conceive naturally aren't really parents either by your logic. I'm willing to be there are a lot of adopted children out there that would argue with you.
Either way, the issue here is same sex marriage, not gays raising children. If a gay couple chooses to raise a child, they will do so with or without legal marriage.
So denying gay couples the right to be married because of the children holds no water.
bearchewtoy75 2 years ago
That is correct, people who cannot conceive naturally are not true parents, they are foster parents. They are called guardians. but the beauty about foster parents is that it is a natural union and not a false one like that of the homosexuals.
A lie can never be true. Truth can never be a lie.
1tontomato 2 years ago
So, then I guess these adopted kids should start calling their mommies and daddies guardians!
And I really hope some adoptive parents see this ridiculous post of yours and reply to you so you can tell them personally how they aren't really parents.
bearchewtoy75 2 years ago
Some single people live with dogs and cats, it is a type of lifestyle. Should these people also have their lifestyle be taught in public schools?
If you're arguing for equal rights, hey, everybody has equal rights. Gays can do whatever they want outside of traditional marriage.
If the government and you are truly for equal rights, how come they keep discriminating against Christians who attend public schools?
Equal rights according to who's agenda?
1tontomato 2 years ago
Being taught something that goes against Christianity is not the same as being discriminated.
No one is telling Christians that they have to accept anything!
And, yet again. The book in Mass. did not teach that homosexuality is good or even normal. Only that some kids have same-sex parents at home!
bearchewtoy75 2 years ago
The fact that it mentions gays in the book as a type of family is in fact education. Anything that is told or taught in public schools is education, from Darwin's theory to gay lifestyles.
They are equating gay lifestyle to be normal as that of a heterosexual, which is very wrong. They are trying to blur the lines from what is right and true and mixing it with something that is unnatural and wicked.
1tontomato 2 years ago
"They are equating gay lifestyle to be normal as that of a heterosexual..."
No. They. Are. Not.
They are saying that kids have different types of families at home. Some have a single parents. Some live with a grandparents. Some live with a Mom and Dad. Some have two same sex parents.
bearchewtoy75 2 years ago
"Some have two same sex parents"
Which is taboo. You are comparing natural differences among families with taboo. Keep trying to sugar-coat it, but the last example really sticks out as being sick and unnatural.

It doesn't matter if you like it or not. Kids with same sex parents is a reality.
But the issue at hand is not same sex parenting, but marriage equality. Same-sex parenting is something that goes on regardless of them being allowed to be married.

You're the one who lies and slanders the gay community.

"No one is telling Christians that they have to accept anything! "
Yes it will; because it will result in all "religious" people being discriminated against as being intolerant. Christians are standing up for themselves by protecting traditional marriage.
ma7799 2 years ago
That would make sense if traditional marriage were really under attack, but it is not. It's not like states only perform a certain number of marriages every year and same-sex marriages would eat up all the marriage licenses.
Same-sex marriages do NOTHING to traditional marriages.
bearchewtoy75 2 years ago
The traditional marriage is attacked when groups are now trying to redifine to include same-sex couples. This dilutes its sanctity and uniqueness. This encourages moral chaos in society and by increasing the size of the marriage net, you lesson the benefits enjoyed by those already covered under the definition of a traditional marriage. Traditional marriage is indeed under attack. We are sending our youth the message that marriage is not lofty and unique, but is mere co-habitation.
masterwilbur 2 years ago
Co-habitation is co-habitation.
Marriage is a legal status that offers benefits and basically makes one person legally responsible for another.
Moral chaos? A bit dramatic, don't you think?
bearchewtoy75 2 years ago
A bit dramtic? Rome? Sodom and Gomorrah? Violence in San Fransisco? Marches on Churches, beating on doors disrupting services by motivated pro-gay mobs? Yes, Dramatic, but true. To tear down walls of morality which are the defense of society can only result in moral chaos.

It's not same-sex marriage that's doing this.

It is being attacked. By divorce.

And where exactly are Christians be discriminated against?
Christians and other religions are free to practice their faith and no legislation having to with marriage equality would change that.

You preach forgiveness, but you are chastising and condemning me to an unchangeable outcome, regardless if i believe Jesus.

And, once again, the book in Mass was NOT homosexual education. It taught nothing about the homosexual "lifestyle". Only that kids have all type of families at home.
That book mentions all type of families, but because a few of the pages mention that some kids are raised by two parents of the same gender, all of a sudden it's "gay education".
Also, not every child is raised by their biological family. You would never tell a heterosexual couple who have adopted that they are not a family.

"There is a case currently in one of our states where the parent of a child that attends a public school wanted to opt out of the Homo Ed. But he homosexual movement is trying to fight the parent saying she has no right to opt out."
It's called brainwashing. Once this sort of thing is pushed on society, it will never really stop anywhere.

I was never taught marriage in school, nor will my kids. Marriage is a sacred ceremony that requires commitment and a value of love, something so important and fundamental to all Americans, that i will be parenting my kids about the subject, and not leaving everything up to the school to explain. Its called sex education, not Homo Ed - that is hate speech. Obviously your old tactics didnt extinct the gays, so why do think these will help end educating people and fighting for our rights?

Most crimes are wrong because they impose on others rights. How is being gay imposing on your rights, or gay marriage or gay parents? Also, there has never been an instance where a church was forced to marry two individuals. You need to go back to the drawing board, and with a couple of other people preferrably smarter than you, and come to some better conclusions than this misguided, misinformed hate speech. When we get marriage rights, you will be responsible for your words.

gays are responsible for everything, even tho the world's ruled by straight men/religion, gays somehow are to blame for all the worlds problems, children are always at the forefront of the argument against equality for gays, but wars hunger poverty kills millions children yearly, straight men begin these actions which kill children, so tell me again who do children need to be protected from, and remember that GOD is watching you and GOD is not about hate and lies

Some say that because they believe gay people choose to be gay, then they shouldn't be considered a protective group. I know that being gay is "hard-wired" into you, but even if it wasn't...
Remember that it's also illegal to discriminate on the basis of religion... which is something you def CAN change...
So why do we have discrimination based on sexual orientation? Because it's bigotry & fear that is cloaked in religion.
Keep civil marriage separate from religion. Support equality!
