I FULLY support gay marriage. I am straight and a VERY devout Christian and believe in EQUALITY

And what is wrong with the fact that he has faced his demons and done the right thing? Give the man a break-he did a very brave thing. Probably thought like a dad instead of a politician-good for him

Don't lump me in as, as a Bible-believing Christian, and adhrent to Christ's Holy Catholic Church, with those who would make apologies for the Bible's admonitions against homosexuality, along with a host of other deviations, equally condemned. I make no apologies whatsoever for the Holy Bible, Holy Mother Church, or the efforts of medieval Christendom to preserve their society from the scourge of sodomy, though regrettably, with limited success. What we need is another "Auto-da-Fe" in America.

Republicans or Democrats, they're all cock-sucking douchebags. So what's the difference? This is just another corrupt lying scumbag politician, which proves my point. Politics and integrity just don't mix. Jerry Sanders is an unprincipled pile of human excrement.

Being that the parts with God in it are pretty much horse shit, I obviously don't care for those parts nor do I base opinions on those parts. I base my opinions on the parts that aren't hogwash and say things like "love thy neighbor"

"apologizing for the bible" Wtf? You don't know me at all. Do you know how much crap has happened because of this rambling, deluded, work? The only parts that are sane are the parts about peaceful stances...not that Christians today follow those...

@Jarethenator Stop apologizing for the bible. it makes its position on homosexuality clear: God is opposed to it. Dont try and reconcile antiquated belief systems with modern struggles for freedom, they simply do not align.

@Dinjin1963 and the right to marry

[Jarethenator]

*claps*

This man is proof that there are good people in the world that make mistakes...

Shame on the people who can look at a loving, caring couple of homosexuals or lesbians who have been together for a long time harbouring a great relationship and say,"you are scum, you can't get married"...and why? because you don't "believe in it"?...NEWS FLASH...people didn't believe the Earth was round, but does that make it flat?

[Jarethenator]

@canyonwlkr GREAT!

I'm glad that you feel that way

I hate how people don't get that the bible is based on equality, not racism and homophobic..ism...is that even a word?...anyway...I might be agnostic but I grew up with Christianity...so I know a thing or two...apparently more than most homophobes...

Cuz (Cause) I spell you as in u? Grow up.

Guess what? I found an article that conclusively proves that the grand canyon was formed in an ancient battle between Narwhals and Unicorns, but I can't be bothered to say where the article is from, or check to see if it is reliable.

Sources, or it isn't legitimate.

1. I'm not going to waste time with it, but explain to me how homosexuality is harmful like cancer (and if you are thinking, "It's not procreative." then I have news for you: WE ARE OVERPOPULATED.)

You need a lesson in sociology.

And no, it's not an anomaly, it is common among animal species.

2. Alright, random-guy-on-the-internet, if there are "plenty of examples," name a few solid ones. Otherwise, you are just talking shit.

3. Clearly, you haven't read much. Your intelligence shows it.
