  • Referendum 71 was accepted in Washington. Now, the religious conservatives who sponsored it want to keep their names secret, but the courts didn't buy their arguments.

  • I don't care if gays get married. I'm more concerned about y'all adopting children. But I'm sure you're too selfish to care about the problems it could potentially cause the child. It's all about you. Just like abortion is all the about the woman's choice. But yet when the religious fanatics want to show the ultrasound to the mother the liberals cry about it. What happened to choice?! The truth is that they don't want a choice, they want propaganda!!! That's an agenda sir!

  • you are cute.

  • I'm a bisexual rapper and I never knew marriage had a religious connotation until gay people wanted to get married. I think everybody thought of marriage as a non-religious concept before the Christians started whining and claiming that they invented marriage. - Misfit

  • I read the Referendum 71 text and it does say that while it is not marriage, it will treat those unions as if it were marriage. I have to say I agree with you on that because even if you don't cal it marriage, those who oppose gay rights will try and roll it back. Thanks for showing us this.

  • @Dogsneedpleasuretoo Because it's on cave paintings? WTF! retard, whats the bet you got bullied at school then for some fucked up reason you touched you're dog. piss off! don't reply to me.

  • @Hotolikefire god ur nasty

  • @Dogsneedpleasuretoo

    I never noticed who i was arguing with until i noticed Dogsneedpleasuretoo. and regretfully........you're profile. What i saw disturbed me, i feel sorry for you, seek help. What does you're future hold? it can't possibly be..........this. It's you're life, do what you like, just don't ruin it.

  • @Dogsneedpleasuretoo

    Drop the insults, why? does that make you feel bad.:(boho! Maybe if you stopped fucking dogs you would stop making me feel like beating the shit out of you! so do us both a favor! Heck, call me what you like, i think we both know who and what the problem is. YOU and you're seriously fucked up mentality! Tell you're family, DO IT! then maybe they can spit on you're face and make you realize you're a fucking human. Humans don't shag dogs, i really hope the dogs maul you!

  • @Dogsneedpleasuretoo You fucking sicko! are you serious you do dogs, you must be some sad piece of shit. i hope the bitches bite you're face off! Heck man, you are abusing the animals not to mention yourself, who would stoop so low to do that! except a man with no self respect/ If you're so proud of you're sickness you even devoted a you tube page to it, then why doesn't you're mother know?! Because you know you're sick!

  • @Dogsneedpleasuretoo Wow, i don't know how to reply to that. I' m stunned. Do you honestly not see anything wrong with incest, bestiality, necrophilia and homosexuality. If anything you have just added more substance to my opinion of societies corruption.

  • YOU R SOOOOO CUTEEEEEEE

    WELL JUST HUGS FROM BRAZIL,

    NICE AND SUPPORTIVE VIDEO

  • Gays, whats next? Fathers marring daughters, mothers marring sons. Homosexuals where once thought of as Taboo, but now their fighting for their rights inclusive even to adopt children. So i' m setting a scenario, what if in the future fathers and daughters want to marry, give me one reason why they can't, i mean after all who's the government to tell the people who they love.

  • @PIECE2YOURMOTHA As long as both the father and daughter are of age, then I don't see a problem with that. Whether or not they should be allowed to conceive a child is a completely different issue (I won't get into that).

  • @Christianitylol Really, Really, you think incest is okay! what is wrong with society, clearly society has lost all sense of morality. But apparently their is nothing wrong with that.

  • @PIECE2YOURMOTHA what I think doesn't matter. How does that incestuous relationship affect you exactly? If they were conceiving children whose medical expenses would be covered by taxpayer money, then I'd understand your position.

  • @Christianitylol Are you suggesting that if something doesn't directly effect me i should ignore it? Does that mean i should ignore rape or abuse? because i' m not the one involved. It's only human to marvel at the level of corruption in today's society, i don't know who you are but i worry about you're take on homosexuality let-alone incest. Just out of curiosity what do you consider immoral?

  • @PIECE2YOURMOTHA This has nothing to do with what you should or shouldn't do, rather whether a certain action impedes someone else's rights. How can you compare rape and abuse to incest? Rape and abuse are akin to imprisonment, and they rob someone of their rights. Plus, rape and abuse do affect society. By turning a blind eye to it, its citizens are indicating their apathy with respect to being personally subjected to both. Incest only affects how others "feel."

  • Comment removed

  • @Christianitylol Hm,so if someone was doing something wrong you can't tell them to stop because it impedes on their rights? Drug addicts - it's their right to take drugs, despite the fact that it's killing them. And yes, incest does go hand in hand with rape and abuse, isn't it possible that's how the incest relationship could have began? Necrophilia, Bestiality and homosexuality are all in the same category of incest. Distorted, twisted expressions of sex.

  • @PIECE2YOURMOTHA I completely agree with you.

  • I'm gay....but my life is about living, my interests, hobbies...and doesn't revolve around me expressing my sexuality...you should try it sometime.......

  • I agree, look what our conservatives have done in Uganda, "kill the gays bill?' There is no limit for them, they will not stop until they achieve absolute oppression. Make no mistake, we are at war with conservative Christianity.

  • Why does this video only have 3k views... This video is what started it all isn't it?

  • Best wishes from the UK. Love all your videos. We have Civil Partnerships here in the United Kingdom. The law passed without much argument but the bible bashers are not as evident here as in America.

  • You have an amazing voice and i am so glad and PROUD that youi use it. there are so o many other voices out there too, why are they falling on deaf ears?

  • Great Video! I love it!!

    I was going to say lots of things after reading some of the loser comments made by some people but no I dont want to waste my time and energy for them.....(I will deal with you later). however I do have to say one thing, GROW UP PEOPLE!! Many of your ruthless comments are so irrelevant!! ha!!

    But As I was saying, This will not end....we will be given the right to call our "union" a marriage! You go Bryan!! wooot!!

  • excellent video post!

  • Not if we burn you first.

  • Devout, faithful Anglicans should never accept same-sex marriage, because it is an affront to the traditional family values upheld by Henry VIII and his wife, Catherine of Aragon, and his wife, Anne Boleyn, and his wife, Jane Seymour,

  • Roll back your rights? I'm sorry friend but you never had any, just like many groups in American history you are going through the fight to establish them, fighting as the underdog, and winning. Many have done this before you, so a word of advice to anybody who is looking to establish gay rights, study history, there are examples, learn from their struggles, and triumphs. Best of luck, Any good soul goes to heaven, an all knowing God sees purity not sexuality, kindness, and cringes at hate.

  • Besides of course, your natural rights as human beings, I don't argue that you DO have all of these rights, its just up to you to get them written, in a book, for future generations. So there wont be any questions on it. Hey don't worry, religious fanatics still think God put all of the dinosaurs to sleep or it was a big hoax, I mean, that's the mentality your dealing with, the level of intelligence, they only hate on you and your way of life cause they're doing what they do best, following.

  • Why should you be happy ?

  • why should i be mad?

  • you cant talk clear because you dont even know what the bill is about. please dont post this stuff its misleading.

  • Don't forget to recruit breeders too. Straight people like myself are no more comfortable with other people's religious bullshit affecting our personal lives. We all need to stand up for personal freedom and rights of everybody.

  • before i really started thinking heavily about the issue, i didn't really care if it was called marriage or civil union. that was wrong. separate is not equal. not allowing it to be called marriage sends a clear message of second-class citizenship to the rest of the world, especially to all the gay kids growing up.

  • There will be a day when we will face no more problems regarding equality. ..

  • As a conservative heterosexual Christian woman I think those people who attack gay people under those banners are hypocrites. Christians are supposed to love everybody, I don't see anywhere in the bible that adds "Except homosexuals, you can hate them". Being a conservative to me should be about less gov't interference in peoples' lives, not letting people marry is pretty damn interfering. And I maintain that marriage is secular, if atheists can marry why not gay people?

  • Comment removed

  • Use your own advice. Re-read the bible yourself so that you can stop being a blatant misrepresentation of the message of the Lord.

  • Please tell me what u think different the Lord had spoke through the bible?? i am listing.

  • kskerr, your comment is from a month ago, but I wanna respond because you say 'Being a conservative to me should be about less gov't interference in peoples' lives, not letting people marry is pretty damn interfering.'

    In Holland, where I live, this is called liberal. It were the liberals who were actually most progressive (while conservative) who initiated gay marriage here and managed with a majority to legalize it. Interesting how conservative can be progressive :)

  • @kskerr1 if i remember, in Leviticus 18:22, it clearly states it to be an abomination.....

  • Don't you just love it how Christians think they own the concept of marriage? You know, despite the fact that marriage ceremonies exist for every other religion? Wouldn't it be considered even worse to blaspheme against "Yahweh" by marrying through another faith than being gay? And this is aside from the fact that marriage is purely a secular institution.

    So much inconsistency and hypocrisy. What's the big deal about the word "marriage" anyway? It's just a damn word!

  • I know...it's so sad and pathetic, what's happening in WA.

    Some people just can't seem to love or at least co-exist with people who are different from them.

  • Stand up for freedom on 9-11-09! Google Rock the Planet! Spread the word!

  • Cool vid, not gay but supportive.

  • The concept of marriage is basically

    F--Ked. I don't like it at all. I'm not religious and i don't believe in god but i would want to get married anyways because of the legal benefits that come with it, even though i don't believe in the premisis that marriage is founded on. so really, i would want "domestic partnership" with my girlfriend someday, as a legal union, instead of religious.

  • I do not support Gay and Lesbian activities and agenda, but I will not block someone from uniting with the person they love either.

    I believe good parents either straight or gay should be allowed to adopt children to give that child a better future.

  • do you masturbate ?

  • Comment removed

  • all I have to say, is I posted this comment because I know that God is the only way. Homosexuality is a perversion, it is a sin and you will spend eternity in a not so pleasant place if you don't repent for that. I would love to save people from that, I don't want that to happen to anyone, I couldn't wish that on anyone. I only want other people to discover the love of God. That is all.

  • Look, its people like you that turn me away and prove there is not a god. I deleted my comments because I felt they were to harsh, I'm sorry, i should have been a bit more gental. Normally I am much better at controlling my anger. And you have your views just as much as i have mine.

  • I understand.

    I'll be praying for you.

  • As for the fact that I "pick and choose what I want to follow" WOW. You've got to be kidding me.. If you claim I'm judging people.. that just brings judging people to a new level.

  • Jesus said treat the least of these my family as you would treat me. I am a gay christian and I feel very comfortable being gay and look forward to the day I can meet God. We all will have our day infront of God. I dont need you judging my family because you refuse to use your heart.

  • All I can say is that the Bible says that being gay is wrong.

  • Does the bible also tell you to search out gay themed videos and atack the people in them?

  • I am saved I have accepted jesus as my savior so you can pretend like your work is done here. I dont understand how you can possible belive that you are doing our lords work by making life harder here on earth for people who love and take care of each other. Think about how you would feel if your loved one was dying in a hospital and you were told that you had to wait in a waiting room while your loved one died. I dont pretend to understand gods plan. But I bet that isnt it.

  • I apologize, I only wanted to say that the Bible says that being gay is a sin. We are all sinners. I will leave you alone now, I only wanted to share the Lord's word. I appreciate and respect your opinion.

  • There are lot of sins thank you for apologizing. I understand we dont agree but we have to understand that when we treat each other as "less then" that not only hurts each other but also hurts God.

  • I support the right of gays to marry because

    1) I'm a libertarian

    2) It might finally shut them fuck up.

  • ask what the Obama government thinks about you! Look at what the czars have said. With them in charge forget rights you'll be lucky not to be killed!

  • Comment removed

  • I will not be replying to that because

    a) you called me a "retard"

    totally immature and uncalled for,

    that defiantly made me discredit anything

    you would say.

    b) you called me a "religious nut bag"

    yet again, uncalled for..

    c) more than 80% of you are liers and you are so wrapped up in your fear you being righteous nut bags you don't get it and never will"

  • I wonder how Marsha Blackburn feel if she read this.

  • Our country was not founded on the bible. We left england to have freedom of religon and from religion.

  • Wrong! "In God We Trust" replaced the original, secular phrase "E Pluribus Unum" ("Out of many, one") as the national motto. It was because of the McCarthian Red Scare that caused this. It was later added again. Moreover, an increase of religious sentiment during the Civil War added that phrase in coins.

    Plz research Thomas Paine before you spew BS. BTW, there are some universal principles that distinct religions agree upon and even in non-deistic beliefs.

  • I agree with you 100% our founding fathers where very wise for that time in the worlds history. People like savanna im sure would love to rewrite history.

  • See depfox, we all new that the religious conservatives didn't really care about the word 'marriage' when it came to our rights. They simply don't want gays to be anywhere equal with the almighty heterosexual. But since marriage isn't in the question in Washington state, and only secular rights are involved, what legal evidence backs up the fanatics' attempt to get discriminate against gays?They can't say anything about religious freedom, so how can a court allow secular rights to be taken away?

  • That was added to our money in the 50s, just as "Under God" was added to The Pledge in the 50s.

  • our founding fathers were mostly Deists. Sure a lot of principles could be said to be Christian but that can be true for about every religion. "In God we trust" wasn't put on our money until the late 1800s our founders did not coin that phrase.

  • @savannahsmiles92

    They aren't SPECIAL rights.. They're the rights that everyone was born in America with. Go prepare for the rapture. Several things that are 'right' in the eye of the public, doesn't make them 'good'. I don't know how much your god would like all the hate that people are spreading around.

  • @savannahsmiles92 country was not founded on the bible. Get your facts straight before attempting to spew nonsense. You and your like-minded ilk have no right to deny any couple its constitutional rights. I don't believe in your superstitions and I don't believe in your god.

  • I just say you have to, you really have to check what

    country you're living in because the freedom that

    allows you to practice religion is the same freedom

    you're stepping on. That's not right.

  • Its not about freedom its trying to make something up that does not exist.

  • It is in fact abut freedom. And the right to pursue happiness. Whether you think thats made up or not.

  • If its not based on reality its not obtainable.

  • To YOU! The only thing we need here that doesn't exist is an opening in minds.

  • Definition of marriage the social institution under which a man and woman establish their decision to live as husband and wife by legal commitments, religious ceremonies, etc. IE two guys or girls is not a marriage

  • Thats funny because me and my husband are married in CA. Oh and so are 36000 other people. I think you need to rethink your definition of "Does Not Exist"

  • exactly! well said.

  • Push come to shove there is one problem in all of this, and i dont give a rats ass about this being a christian nation blah blah blah. RELIGION HAS NO PLACE IN LAW. Fine you dont want to call it marriage, you cant have it done in a church, ok go the the courthouse end of story.and If you go to the courthouse RELIGION DOSE NOT MATTER AND SHOULDN'T . You religion nut jobs need to stay out of politics and all you elected officials should keep your religious views to yourself and do your job.

  • religionists are liars and insane.

    fuckem.

    they are losing in the long run.

  • your welcome

  • These Hardcore Conservative Also believe this country was founded on the Morals, Values and Principals of The Christian Faith and The Bible which it never was that is the problem they use the Bible & God to justify their hate and stupidity

  • anyway, unless you call it marriage it wont be recognised on a fed level, so keep it up guys

  • Christian Reconstructionists stealth agenda advocates the replacement of the US Constitution with Theonomy, that is to say, Leviticus. They won't be happy until we're all stoned to death!!!!

  • then they will never EVER be happy because I am bigger and badder and tougher then they. PLUS I have given myself the permission to think..which is always going to outsmart and out maneuver the blind masses. This genie is way out of the bottle and what you are hearing now is the dieing cries of the REAL "left behinds". Dun worry a bit.

  • From the thumbnail pic I thought this was the bearded guy from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" !

  • Uggg....Queerty is a horrible blog to represent the LGBT community. Poorly written and promotes hate and intolerance.

  • LOL what are some good ones?

  • I'm a fan of Good As You.

    It's not as prolific or broad as Queerty, but it has good coverage of LGBT issues, especially marriage equality. And it makes me laugh sometimes, so that's a bonus.

  • That was supposed to be a reply to Depfox asking about decent LGBT blogs. Apparently, I fail at the whole replying thing.

  • Ill check it out

  • People call me conservative (of course during Bush years they called me a liberal, go figure), but the reason that they do isn't because of my social and personal beliefs, it's because of my view of the proper role and scope of government (limited, and explicitly stated [rule of law and not men]).

    To get to the point, you are doing our enemies a favor by lumping people like me (politically conservative) in with them (politically liberal/socially conservative). Divide and conquer as they say.

  • God I love the way he's wearing his hair in this video.

  • :O)

  • You missed Pride in Vancouver! It would have been great to see more families marching in the parade this year.

  • that would have been nice

  • Well thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Here's one more question for you: Were you recently in Vancouver, Canada, or Vancouver, Washington?

  • Vancouver Canada you didnt watch out vacation video? HEHE well if you get a chance do they are really good. We did a big road trip so we drove thru oregon wash state and canada and took a cuise to Alaska wa a big trip

  • I know this is unrelated but what is that sound bite at the end of your videos?

  • not sure you have to ask nationforbigots he made the intro for us

  • You know, the opening kinda reminds me a scene in Zorro-like western movies: a good guy with a hand tickles in the way to the revolver, versus a bad guy ready to shoot.

    Dramatic ain´t it?

  • :O)

  • I want to put out there. I know they have been rewriting our history. So it like their is no separation of church and state. I'm debating a lawsuit. God exist or not. The church is trying to over throw the U.S. Government from with in. they hope to take our rights. No free speech.They will dictate.Just like Italy in the 16th century.

  • if your thoughts are true then don't worry, the obama administration will beat them to it and soon you will be waving a red communist flag. it's not the right you should fear,,,it's the left---you know the ones who pretend they are the caring,gentle,freedom lovers. NOT, the left wants nothing more than complete control of your life and dependence on massive government.

  • I'm so tired of this. Every day my faith in this country is damaged because of religious zealots. I understand, fine, it's in your belief structure that you feel a man shouldn't lay with another man, but the bible doesn't say to interfere with other people's lives, just to live your own life as you feel God would want it. I'm so tired of these self-righteous conquests. Every overenthusiastic christian thinks they're leading others away from Sodom and Gomorrah, but they're just hurting themselves

  • Well said, LGBT people need to stand up more.

  • you also forget there are the nutjobs who want to rewrite the constitution and make it so we are a racist, seist and homophobic country who attacks all countries to be the superior ones

    and pshycotic ann coulter who says we should force chrtistianity i gave her the finger once when she was doing this signing hey i got thrown out but giving her the finger was worth it al 12 seconds i just dropped it there and flipped her off

  • You are like my hero for doing that to Ann Coulter!

  • like i said i may have gotten thrown out but it was worth it

  • it was also hard to decide what to do at first i planned throwing a carten of eggs but then thought it's be to hard to hide then i thought of using a squirt gun but then i just went the simple way

  • This is your comment:

    ""

    Don't amend the constitution in a discriminatory way.

    By the way, ain't I so awesome because I made a rude gesture to someone who disagrees with me?

    ""

    Good doublethink!

  • And it was worth the 12 seconds of interruption for all of the other attendants to see an impotent, petulant child escorted from the area.

  • I'll say it now and i'll say it again if i had to I REGRETED NOTHING

  • And I'll say it now if it never was said: it ACCOMPLISHED NOTHING.

  • To you maybe not to me it made me feel warm inside

  • And as stated, it was probably nice to see a feckless cretin thrown from the gathering.

    Balance preserved, and other Taoist such and such.

  • Finally, look at history. If people followed the New Testament where you should return slaves to their owners, would the underground railroad have happened?

    Now it most certainly was people NOT following the New Testamend nor the old, that fought for freedom of slavery. They went AGAINST religion to do so.

    You would think that religious black americans would follow this example. Did they? DID THEY? NO only thirty years later, we are in the same repeated boat with religion.

  • Christianity was once used as a tool of the slave trade. Later the black civil rights movement would emerge from the liberation theology of Protestant Christianity, and borrow heavily from the example of a devout Hindu named Gandhi. But MLK and Gandhi were both just superstitious propagandists, right?

    Why should we expect you to tolerate people with different religious views when you are so obviously intolerant of other gay people?

  • Your last paragraph makes no sense.

    Can you tell me if MLK ever met Gandhi? Can you tell me if Gandhi was ever photographed with a black person?

    Although MLK quoted Gandhi, I hardly think he was influenced heavily by him. Indeed MLK had atheist friends who influenced him far more greatly than Gandhi.

    Just so you know, I do not condone teaching children to believe in demons, satan, hell, that the end of the world is coming, the imminent rapture, or the Abraham saga.

    CHILD ABUSE

  • and i don't condone teaching little kids that Godzilla is gonna return and attack North Korea because they have what he wants ATOMIC WEAPONS well acctually he feeds off the energy but you get my point

    BTW This comment was meant to be sarcastic

  • So please show me my intolerance for gay people.

    Here again, you profess goodness in religion yet bear false witness against another person.

    Is this what your religion teaches you?

    Look around your world. Millions today are negatively affected by religion. 9/11 was because of religion.

    Honestly look at your own religion. Is it a peaceful one? Really? Have I lied about the contents of the bible you cherish?

    Word "Enemy" over 300 times; "hate" over 150 times in the bible

  • Post to the posters:

    Just on this site we see examples of the dangers of religion.

    One poster is all for gay rights, yet condemns science because of his religion.

    Another fears great reprisal if you question another's religion or point out fallacies of it.

    None of this is good. It belongs in the dark ages of time.

    The truth shall set you free. The most atheistic states & countries support gay marriage. They have less crime, less domestic violence, etc...

    Research

  • Translation: my prejudices against religious people are good, religious people's prejudice against me are bad.

    If irony were a religion, I think we've found the high priest.

  • lol what a fag. oh wait. XD

  • I just wanna add to this discussion, that the 5 countries that legalized gay marriage in Europe through parliament (NL, Belgium, Norway, Sweden and Spain) that it was only possible because there were NO Christian/religious parties running in government. It were the Christian parties in those 5 countries who wanted to block it and voted no to gay marriage.

  • thank you for this info

  • I myself happen to hold religious beliefs of my own and i can assure you any attack of peoples beliefs will result in a need to defend those beliefs to extreme measures. I would not like to be cut off from what i considered the source of my being.

    we need to point out the humanty in religion and the tenets of christianity that include all.

    I hope to get my head together about this and do a video on it at some point as i was raised ..and still consider myself christian.

    bryan

  • I appreciate all that you are doing to help make this Earth a kinder place.

    WIth all due respect, however, it behooves all of us to question what we were taught from the crib. When I first had a lightbulb go off in my head, it was difficult to face the fact that I could be believing myth, but for the sake of future generations, I could do nothing but learn and ask more questions.

    Truth is the only way for all of us to win. This IS a lonely planet and we are the only ones who can tend it

  • I didn't use extreme measures to defend my beliefs. Comments like that only prompt me more to understand the dangers of religion.

    I see no humanity in the judeo-christian religion whatsoever. Also behind the pleasantries of ceremony, song & tradition lie hungry tigers waiting for the brains of the followers to gain their power.

    Then there also must be the preachers & priests to lead the flock by lying. The comfort of their supporting flock enables the deception to continue dangerously.

  • As a christian, I really thought I understood my religion. After daring to face the tough possibilities that I could be wrong about it all, it didn't take me long to begin to realize that to call myself christian simply couldn't sit well with me any longer.

    The faces we put on during religious years and the foundations we build are the hardest things to realize we must let go of for the good sake of others.

    Can you tell your children you were wrong? Can you redo your entire foundation?

  • im happy that your family guys gets a prize and stay same,strong and loving your kids,each other and your relatives :) dont give up!

    xxx

  • THANK YOU for this wonderful video. I think you and your family is AWESOME! You guys are so rad!

    I campaigned hard and voted for Obama because he promised Gay marriage and equal protection for all LGBT Americans. Now that he is President of the United States, I expect him to fulfill those promises and keep his word, otherwise I feel like my vote had been wasted. Obama needs to keep his word and deliver the rights for all Gay people. He promised!

  • what is the difference between the christian right and the taliban and the ayatollahs of iran.........THAT'S RIGHT, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

  • This is totally and completely blatant discrimination. Disgusting.

    Oh I thought you couldn't use the word marriage

    and now its everything. Yeah, they want to take your rights away and keep you hidden and make sure that you don't get to live the way the constitution was written.

    Shame on them and they will eventually get their karma paid back ten fold.

    Glad to see you again Bryan! Kiss Jay

    and the kiddos.

  • That's ridiculous! What baffles me is how Albania, a predominately MUSLIM country (that has stricter religious views against Homosexuality than Christianity) is starting to allow gay Marriage. Why is our country so narrow minded and falling behind? I can't wrap my mind around it.

  • Is that true? I thought I heard it was that they were decriminalizing homosexual acts.... although I might be thinking of Afghanistan.

  • yes its true the news broke today about Albania

  • OutsideTheFox, isnt that just totally baffling, Albania wanting to legalize gay marriage as anounced by it's Democratic Party, who has a majority on it (74 seats out of 140). And for becoming a European Union member they arent even required to legalize it, but to 'only' make decent anti-discrimination laws for minority groups. There IS protest coming from its muslims and orhodox catholics, ofcourse, but politically, the cards are in the Democratic party's hands.

  • I hadn't heard all the details, so thanks for sharing! It's crazy how one of the most powerful country in the world is so behind everyone else in terms of social progress.

  • As a Mormon, I am disappointed by our church's support of discrimination.

  • Thank you for being against descrimination. How I wish people such as yourself would do as I did. I researched my own religion and found out that it is something I simply cannot as a caring human be a part of.

    We can be just ourselves and although we might be part of a group we choose to be a part of, we can always reserve the right to simply be the birth name we were given. Our own selves.

    The bible promotes rape, torture, genocide, ripping pregnant women open killing them and cont..

  • cont... their babies, smashing babies heads against rocks, denigration of women, sexual repression, genital mutilation, cannibalism and a host of other horrors. We do not need to be a part of this.

    It is important that we support what science tells us about our natural world aroundus. It is important that we care about what happens if we do not face the reality of how religious poison's everything (Christopher Hitchens Quote). We OWE this to future generations to come. Thank you .

  • Isnt it sad that i have to grow up in the world facing this. A 15 year old has enough pressures on him, and then this. Geesus.

  • yes very sad i would think we would have moved forward on these issues by now

  • Hi Bro's, news on the block for you will make you feel really proud as I am of one person I meet on the tube just yesterday.

    She is 13 years old and very Brave for going agenst her familys wishs to get to know gafoy people and is secretly helping to give us the rights to have Equality for all.

    I know her religen is very strict and does not allow her to talk to us, but if she stays the path! - im very proud of her to do what she has for us already.

    Signed Bro dave.

  • *My name is godonlyknows and I want to recruit you!* (Joke. lol)

    But yeah! Gay Americans (Myself being a Canadian "Ally") need to stand up for their rights, because if the religious right had their way you'd all be sent off to special little "work camps" where you'd never be seen from again.

    Funny story, every time I get notified that u've made a new vid, I think "Who the hell is 'depfox'? When did I sub 2 him? Oh ya! youtubes fav. gay family!" lol.

  • Welcome back!  Great video.

  • Thanks Bryan. It makes me angry too! What are we doing in Washington State to prevent this from happening? We can't have another proposition 8 situation!

  • Well put Bryan. You are so right, about these religious hypocrites. Most of them want all gay people back in the closet or burned at the stake. Their bigotry astounds me. Shame on them and their hatred.

  • I know you are too polite to say this, they actually would like to see you dead. (death penalty). They think of you as vile. As long as churches have followers, (no matter what church) and they teach there is a supernatural good and opposing supernatural evil... they will find one. Perhaps this year they accept gays, but will need to have an opposing foe they can put into the ovens one day.

    The answer is to tell the truth about religion. It is bogus, manmade, and kills

  • I'm not religious, nor do I claim to defend the likes of those zealots who use faith to justify prejudice, but all religious people are not the same.

    Among those who filed suit against the passage of prop 8 were religious organizations and liberal churches who saw love as the ultimate family value. True, conservative Christianity is an obstacle to equal rights, but they do not represent all Christians. The nations and regions of the world which allow gay marriage are all majority Christian.

  • I agree slowly religious groups are starting to change the way they look at gay & lesbians

  • Case in point on religious groups changing: the UK's Quakers have just officially started lobbying for full marriage equality as a denomination. Many Quakers had been lobbying individually long before this - including all of my Meeting - but this is the first time a major UK denomination has come out in active support of gay marriage; most are either vehemently opposed (Catholics, NFI, Pentecostals, etc.) or deeply divided (CofE, URC, Methodists, etc.).

  • What does not religious mean? I appreciate the statement and know many christians myself who support. gay marriage. I also know "knowthyneighbor" and have found many christians who claim they care about gay people, who signed the petition!

    But that's beside the point.  No person who is condemned in a religious book is safe if the religious have a right to vote against them at the polls. We MUST tell the truth about religion REGARDLESS of the fact it will make others uncomfortable.

  • This is the problem I have with state democracy. The majority can simply take away your freedom by a tiny margin. This is also frightening when the majority are idiots or superstitious, gullible people. It's very difficult to educate those who are dogmatic sheep. What system do you think allowed Hitler into power?
