People who believe homosexuality is a choice are idiots.

Do they honestly think that all the gay teenagers who have committed suicide would have chosen death instead of merely 'changing back' to straight?

Who would do that? Who would kill themselves when the answer to their problems lies in a simple 'choice?'

NO ONE'S sexual orientation is a choice and EVERYONE knows it. Just because the anti-gays can't stop thinking about our sex lives doesn't automatically mean we chose to be gay.

@anddihier What a whole lot of bluster about nothing. Listen to you, raving on about your forever unprovable, imaginary friend and how we should all live in fear of him.

We've all read or know about Sodom and Gomorrah, but it hasn't changed anything because we all know it's GARBAGE. The bible's as real as Rumplestiltskin. Only the emotionally needy and the gullible believe its judgemental hideousness.

Peddle your hellfire and brimstone somewhere else. Your raving insanity is not welcome here.

Gavin Newsom is a hottie xD

the bible used to be used to discriminate against races, genders and now sexual orientation. what's next? the color of our hair, and eyes! i mean come on! the bible will forever be used as a weapon when it is in the hands of people with hate in their hearts.

[TheZebrianna2]

@anddihier the story of Sodom n Gomorrah is about not being hospitable to guests. the town turned on the guests because they didn't want them to steal the wealth of the village. it has nothing to do with homosexuality. and if anything, in the old testament, the people that wanted to kill the guests, actually wanted to rape them. hence where we get the word sodomy from. rape and homosexuality do NOT correlate. check your facts before you spew out your opinion, from your hate filled heart.

@cdmcrazy

Do you really equate sex with love?

[BjoernarEricSven]

@anddihier

Yeah, it's common sense. Just as withholding equality from women and blacks once was considered common sense and the moral thing to to, backed up by bible quotes.

Being wrong is not a democracy!

[thecrazyone724]

out of everything i can say.. the main thing is,Separation of religion and state!Also if you're truly religious and believe in God&the wonderful things he's given us then you would believe that you need to be loving, accepting, caring& welcoming to all of his people, not just those who share the same opinions as you! whether you're a Christian, Mormon, Jew, Atheist, Muslim, Hindu, whatever you may be, the most important thing is to treat people how you would like to be treated! RESPECT&LOVE

Phil said at the end that you may be asked to vote your conscience on this issue. Our constitution is suppose to protect gays (a perscuted minority) from mob rule of the majority. A majority can not vote away a minoritys civil rights! It's only a matter of time before the supreme court defends our rights! All this BS from the religious right, anti gay haters etc... is irrelevant, will be ignored by the supreme court.

That Maggie Gallagher is a moron. She is the epitome of an american stereotype. Not once did she make a unique remark. She nodded and agreed with the other two [who made some pheasable points] and ranted garbage. I feel dumber for having listened to her [ps posting this at 1 am, i apologise for spelling and grammatical errors]
