This also shows why anti-gay bullying is different than just regular bullying. Often teachers, principals and even school board members will join in the anti-gay bullying.

What message does it send? It sends the exact same message that can be found in the Bible. It perpetuates the exact same bigoted prejudice, unfathomable ignorance, that countless fundamentalist zealots were brainwashed into believing before him.

IM A ROMAN CATHOLIC LESBIAN... and to be brutally honest ive abandoned religion for other reasons than being gay... the bible is the most controversial book ever written. i dont believe this stupid book should be the reason for rules of mankind... it contradicts itself! why follow something to a T. you would not follow someone who contradicts themselves... be youre own person and follow what you believe. no matter what it is. u wanna hate gays hate em! u wanna love gays love em. its your choice!

People can be gay and Christian. Like everything, religion will change as well. You can't stop change, nothing can. Hence why there are soo many different breakaway sections of religions. It's nice to have Christian who stick up for gay people, so any narrow minded people need to get with the times. I bet you, If you gave them the chance, they would go and hunt down witches.

@Jynx215 there is some interesting reading about the original Greek text of the new testament (where Paul supposedly condemns homosexuality) and its inability to be clearly translated and the process from which over thousands of years these phrase keep changing per bible version and translation. I will post some links for you

[DarkestMarker]

@Shelbzism the bible has been translated hundreds of times and each time secular messages are branded in with the original text. it isn't the bible's message, it is the bigots message and they are falsely using the bible as their reason why.

[Jynx215]

@DarkestMarker that's a very good argument and I agree with it. but could you explain how the bible's verses don't refer to homosexuality as its understood today? its a very good point, i just need a little clarification please.

[AnarchyJM]

@Shelbzism I totally agree with what you are saying however there is only like one smalll passage in the bible that condemns gay relationships and even that is in the old testament so who can believe that xD The point is all religions fundamentaly teach an idea of peace and love it's a humanas predoratory nature that uses it to condemn people

Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.

[Superwolf1337]

It satisfies me when rednecks(and not the good kind) like Clint McCance improperly make moonshine and drink it and go blind
