Andrew Sullivan: It Gets Better—But Not Through Politics

http://bit.ly/iX1Q1R - The idea that politicians will grant gay people equality has always been a complete delusion, says the blogger. "The only thing that brings us equality is our own testimony and our own lives"—like Dan Savage's "It Gets Better Project."

Thank you for posting this, bigthink.

I think it's weird that Sullivan is a Catholic and gay. I thought the Bible was against homosexuality? I'd get if he just believed in god or something, but christianity in particular seems so weird to me. Just proves how people cherry-pick their religion, and those who are religious fanatics are really those who take their books seriously. Religion is kinda extreme in itself I think, if you read the books and take it for face value.

PLOW on!! is their a peircing somewhere?

@Pilaf1984 It is not a matter of basing one's morality on the bible. Morality is there as social [laws] to guide how we behave in society and interact with each other. ANY moral code that can bring about unity and respect and encourages harmony within a community is worthwhile to have.

@Kumtekmeon Why should anyone base their morality on the Bible?

@kcklein2075 You are correct. I did not listen closely enough. Because I LOATHE this man - and have for many years. When he begins opining, I simply shut down. I'm still hoping he'll be deported - or take his husband to England. I'm with "drawntrouble" on this one. Pity me, for I forgot that even a stopped clock is right twice per diem.

@MercedAFBrat77 This WAS a commentary on the IGB project, hence the question in the beginning: "Why has the It Gets Better Project been so effective?" The man was asked his opinion and he gave it. Instead of insulting him maybe you should sharpen your listening skills.

SCIENCE SHOWS THAT THE UNIVERSE could not have sustained itself eternally because of entropy (even in an open system). Einstein confirmed that space, matter, and time had a beginning! That beginning had to be supernatural because natural laws have no ability to bring the universe into existence from nothing. The supernatural cannot be proved by science but science points to a supernatural intelligence for the origin and order of the universe ~ HOW FORENSIC SCIENCE REFUTES ATHEISM (Article)
