I am thankful for brave LGBT black folks and their friends and families who are incredibly brave in their support of their LGBT families. Bigotry and religious hate should not be tolerated in any way whatsoever.

Actually opinionatorX you are the worst one here. Atheists can be some of the most honest, trustworthy and smart people out there. Even though I am not an atheist I know that you don't have to believe to be a decent human being. You're wasting people's time with your stupid. lame and uneducated rants on here. Most people know that the bulk of science. These are studies supported by the AMA, APA, Am A. of Pediatrics, etc.

@WarriorOfWriters Thanks for you comments.I don't have answers I honestly believe no matter where you live on this planet gay people of every color must join forces and come out of these dam closets! The percentage of gay people are underestimated. The crazies out here are getting scary by the day! Just look at these nut jobs posting here! Nut jobs are usually closet cases f**ked- up as a child! Religion being the culprit cramed down their throat so they can't think for themselves!

@JaKKeBrOwN I believe I was born gay, I've never had an attraction to women.

@JaKKeBrOwN Generalizing is not objective. I don't say Christians are hate mongers, I don't say Germans are Nazis. I don't do anyone justice by saying that. Nature is instinctive. There is no nature in believing in God, there is no nature in speaking the English language. As far as most people are concerned God is a figment of fable, a cultural identity.

@JaKKeBrOwN Thoughtless? I'm graduating philosophy and a major in journalism. It's my job to be objective, I'm a sharp intelligent gay person. I am not a deviant, a pedophile or a rapist. I don't try and convert straight people. Your lack of objective reason, the points you make having no intellectual significance and the mud you sling make your point invalid. And the now fact that you elect yourself to represent a group discredits that group to others. Justify your position.

@JaKKeBrOwN There is no gay conspiracy to destroy the family or the church. Institutes exist to pander to your superstitions so as long as they exist you're happy and I'm happy you have that institute to support whatever delusion you cling to. But is allowing gays marriage equality really going to open the flood gates? I mean, it really is the last taboo but society is beginning to accept us as normal human beings.

@JaKKeBrOwN Natural? Nature has nothing to do with the language we speak, we still use it. Nature has nothing to do with the cars we drive, the houses we live in, the taxes we pay. Nature has nothing to do with the way in which we pray, the institutions we belong to, the systems we subscribe to. If we were to live natural lives we wouldn't speak; we would be impulsive, untame, naked territorial animals.

@Hightea22 Here in Australia racism is rampant among white gay males. I'm a gay Jew from the poor suburbs (welfare dump) of Perth. My parents are fundamentalists, my neighbourhood is homophobic and the gay community in Western Australia is small and shallow. How is any person supposed to naturalize in that circumstance? It's not fair.

@pheno09 You are right! I only wish many would have the guts to step forward! O stated recently she's not gay! Then the sky isn't blue! If they all could turn purple for a day it would blow the top off the universe! Our gay white counterparts don't help the cause. If they could only rid themselves of their parent's racism the gay community would have long achieved civil in the US. On TV it appears it's just a white thing, we know that's not so, but until all colors join in it's slow going!
