Politicians haven't allowed gay marriage coz they do not think it is OK !! How about protesting to put them out of a job .. EXACTLY !! u want to start with the ghetto black people

@HongreeHype

Are you nuts or just ignorant? There have been hundreds and hundreds of gay marriage protests and an incredible amount of activist work on the issue. We just won an extremely hard-fought battle in New York State that finally led to the legalization of gay marriage.

No one is focusing on "ghetto black people" - we are focusing on anyone who hates us, especially if they call for our murder.

You do not even understand the music. They speak out against hetrosexuals who do nasty stuff to. They do not hate they just do not believe in what you do.

Hmm...let's see..."Shoot batty boys in the back of the head" - yeah, I guess that's not hate. I must have been mistaken.

@kellyannabama

Exactly - you're an ignorant bigot if you think all those things are the same.

[kellyannabama]

@lostvocals6 pervsion is the same all those things are pervsion and i dont support either one of them so call me what you want

[lostvocals6]

@kellyannabama

Disgusting to equate homosexuality with bestiality. You are an ignorant bigot.

[lostvocals6]

@kellyannabama

You're either a liar or stupid. The exact quote is "Bob Marely sang about one love, he never sang about shooting gay men in the head." In case you can't hear, that doesn't mean Marley supported gay rights. It means that he never addressed the issue, and certainly never called for our murder. And how dare you equate being gay with pedophilia? Bigot.

[kellyannabama]

@lostvocals6 im also against pervsion as well i dont support murder, pedophila, homosexuality, beastility and etc....

[kellyannabama]

@lostvocals6 that gay dude in the video said that bull shit and i was stating the truth.. bob marley was not down with that bs and i was making it clear.. One love dose not support pedophila, homosexuality are other pervsions..

[lostvocals6]

@kellyannabama

No one said Marley supported gay rights - just that he sang about peace and love, not about shooting people in the back of the head.

[kellyannabama]

bob marley never supported gay rights so get out of here with that... Bob marley was extermly relgious btw... He believed in the word

[kellyannabama]

i agree with the brother with the flag he speaks the truth

[marcpedraza]

I'm a homosexual.
