Thank you to Councilman Joel Burns for shedding light on this subject. To the memory of Asher Brown, Billy Lucas, Justin Aaberg, Tyler Clementi, and all victims of bullying throughout the country and the world.

Being gay isn't a choice. If I could choose to be attracted to the opposite sex, I would be... It would definitely make like a lot easier. Thanks to homophobic assholes like some of you on here, my life, my world, my family has been turned upside-down because I love people of the same sex! For any of you that believe in the bible and think homosexuality is a sin, I ask you this, have you ever eaten shellfish? Have you ever had a rounded haircut? Do you have any tattoos? Would you sell your daug

Why do xtians/believers ALWAYS TYPE IN CAPS? DO THEY ACCIDENTLY HIT THE CAPS LOCK BUTTON AND NOT RELIES IT? ONE WOULD IMAGINE THAT THEY WOULD SEE THE LETTERS GET BIGGER, OR MAYBE FIX THEIR MISTAKE BEFORE POSTING THEIR COMMENT. DOES THIS MEAN THEY ARE LAZY? ONE WOULD IMAGINE.

@xavierz71 What I am defending is the individual's right to choose their own path without hatred and ignorance plaguing them, and the basic meaning of the words of my savior. Also, did you consider the possibility that A) very few homosexuals have a fetish involving feces, and B) you are attempting to condemn me without any knowledge of who I am? Judge not lest ye be judged, for our heavenly Father is the only being with the right to judge anyone's soul. I am at peace with my Lord, are you?

[xavierz71]

@TheBlacknessAvenged YOU KNOW THE BIBLE WELL, BUT SO DOES satan BUT THAT'S NOT GOING TO SAVE HIM OR YOU! IT'S OBEDIENCE TO THE WORD OF GOD, THAT WILL SAVE!! BECAUSE YOU ARE WHITEWASHED TOMB STONES, THAT LOOK NICE AND CLEAN ON THE OUTSIDE BUT ON THE INSIDE YOU ARE FULL OF DEAD MEN'S BONES!! YOUR ARE CONDEMNED BY YOUR WORKS, NOT MY WORDS! I AM ONLY BRINGING TO LIGHT YOUR HORRIBLE DEEDS! SODOM AND GAMORRAH WITH MOCK YOU, BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE THE BIBLE!! AND YOU DID, BUT DID NOT BELIEVE !!!!!

[xavierz71]

@TheBlacknessAvenged WHAT IGNORANCE! NOW YOU ARE A BIBLE SCHOLAR TOO? FAGS ARE AN ABOMINATION TO ANY NATION! DID YOU NOT READ WHAT FISTING, RIMMING AND SCATTING IS?? WHEN A MAN AND A WOMAN COME TOGETHER THERE IS SPERM AND AN EGG AND A FORMS A HUMAN BEING! MULTIPLY THE EARTH WITH DECEDENTS, NOT PILES OF CRAP!! WHEN FAGS GET TOGETHER THEY MAKE A PILE OF RAW EXCREMENT EAT IT AND RUB THEMSELVES ALL OVER WITH IT! IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE DEFENDING????

@xavierz71 Romans 15:5 May God help you to live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus. 1 Corinthians 13:13 Three things will last forever-faith, hope, and love- and the greatest of these is love. Hosea 2:23 I will show love to those I called "Not Loved" and to those I called "Not my people" True faith is built upon love and harmony, not hate and condemnation. Unless you would rather be smitten by the Hebrew god whom condemned all for their sins?
