Is anyone seriously debating whether or not JEWS believe in equal rights and protection of those rights by our government, really.... c'mon.  I am a Jewish, straight, female -and happy to have marched (strolled really) beside my brothers and sisters in Seattle last Saturday.

[EricKNSeattle]

Hehehe...Good point. But then those who are arguing the point were not alive some 60 yrs. ago. They were not standing in line for the incinerator. But then I guess if it's not them who's rights are being restricted, then who cares.

Hmmmmm.

E!

I would have been there if a) I didn't live 2 hours away (I'm in Mason Co.) and b) I weren't so sick. :(

My heart and spirit were marching alongside everyone - this is FANTASTIC! We need to make the message strong and clear that hate and discrimination of ALL KINDS need to die.

We Felt it... Thanks for the Energy!

Take Care,

E!

That was a good time, glad to see all the people that made it and the weather was good! I wonder how many people were estimated to of showed up.

[EricKNSeattle]

Not sure, But that was a lot of people.  And many were not gay, that's what made the day.

Take Care,

E!

The relationship between a man and a woman is called marriage. At its most basic level, it was nature that promoted that relationship, not any government. If the gays are not happy with the words "civil union" to describe their relationships, then maybe they should coin another word. Sorry, the word marriage is already taken. Marriage, the relationship between a man and a woman is a natural act and occurrence. A gay relationship IS NOT NATURAL and should not be confused with marriage.

[GenXorcist1976]

Well... yes. It seems there aren't many folks who understand the concept of a Jesus who does not HATE. This is what I was taught as a Presbyterian growing up. There are even some gay ministers in the Presbytery, which (of course) is a big bone of contention for some. I say live and let love... if it isn't bothering me, why should I care? What business is it of mine? The LAST THING I want is for my Gay and Lesbian brothers and sisters to go running for the hills because I wear a cross.

THANK YOU, SEATTLE! Thank you for standing united with us here in California and all across our country. We WILL overcome. With lots of LOVE from your brothers and sisters in San Francsico.

Please cite the pending litigation in Massachusetts. Churches are protected under the U.S. Constitution. Churches can, will and do refuse marriage to couples gay and straight for a myriad of reasons. This is another of the lies perpetuated by the religious right.

Some of which have accepted Yeshuah Ha Meshiach. You might read the prophet Jeremiah's comments about God's judgment on Israel in chapter 16:13-16. God did just what He said he would do to the Jews. He restored Israel just as He promised and yet much of world still hates them. You need the Messiah which Isaiah chapter 53 speaks of. Don't take my word. Look it up. The next judgment will not be sweet.

Your Jewish friends and relatives? How many do you know, five? If you had read the exit polls, you'd know that an overwhelming majority of Jews voted against prop 8. By the way, don't you dare talk to me about the holocaust like that. I had family that died in concentration camps, and comments like that just show how ignorant you are. You talk as if you know G-D, but G-D is something too complex for either one of us to understand.

[apologiamixer]

Rather odd that my Jewish friends and relatives do not support the queer community. Most with any knowledge of their scripture and history know that it was sin that landed them in Babylon for 70 years, and it was Yahweh that judged them and let the Romans destroy their temple in 70 CE, near where they pray at the remaining wall in Jerusalem. Have it your way. God will judge you and your rebellious friends. Does the Holocaust mean nothing to you?
