Long live Randy Phillips! What a kind and thoughtful young man, and how wonderfully and perfectly his loving father responded.

There could be no more perfect illustration of the idiocy, waste, and injustice of discrimination and the denial of civil rights to anyone.

Thank you Randy, best to you always.

We hate In others what we hate In our selves,.... All I have to say Is that The Bible was writen by men many different men, you see all the nasty shit that has came to light with the childmolestors In the church or GOP congressmen and pastors that arent what they claim to be, and are so vocal against gay rights when they are out there cheating with hookers and doing crazzy shit.........Just because you dont like It doesnt mean your Right.

We are born this way and have to accept who we are.... i have gay friends and co-workers that are gay but i accept them because they are fun to be with and they were true to themselves... some people just cant accept them, for me BI gay or lesbi etc as long as they were open minded person and doing the right thing ^^... LOL peace!!

The difference is that the Randy Phillips seems nice, most things in the bible don't... end of convo, surely?

Love my gay friends and everyone else, so glad more people are coming out and are in military:) sets the bar for gay haters everywhere, being gay isn't wrong, everyone is different, and just because you aren't gay, it shouldn't make you feel better than people who are, it generally makes you weaker because you don't have to go through everything they did, and weaker because you can't accept something as small as sexuality different from yours.

@RandolphAgarn1 The bible is God inspired, which means the Holy Spirit Himself convicted these "men" on what to write. Don't give me that fear and money crap, you have no idea about what you're talking about. Jesus said to take heed that no man deceive you, this included pastors in pulpits. Jesus and Jesus alone is the only way, and this same Jesus will judge all sexual immorality. Just read Romans chap 1.

@daxnomen I agree. i did 5 years and couldnt take the pressure anymore. would have loved to stay for 20. oh well. I got out in 83, way before DADT.

@canibus26177 so you admit you are a criminal and a shithead and a fuck up . 

[RandolphAgarn1]

@Ezekielthirtyeight god has said nothing about it. men wrote the bible, to put fear into people so they will cough up money.

Airmen Philips was my neighbor in the dorms and a stand up guy. He received a lot of flak for his courageous decision but he truly is one of the best among us out here in Ramstein.
