when looking at religions Catholicism believes that gays are born that way which puts it firmly in the moderate category of religions. it says gay sex, like straight sex (almost every every time), is just self indulgence. so i think that putting Catholicism as the chief villain (evil catholic schoolgirls in film) against homosexuals in this country is wrong, when we live in an evangelical protestant country where people believe it is a "choice" and that "the gays" need to be (and can be) cured.
Here is a quick way to shoot down the argument that being gay is a choice: When did you choose to be straight? Who helped you in that choice? Did you talk to your parents before you decided which gender to love? Here is another thought: Why would you choose to be someone who is constantly taunted, tormented, and threatened? LGBT people are far more likely to runaway or commit suicide, why would you choose to suffer like that?
winterfootsteps: What compels me to be how I am? I would say a desire for truth, a need to be creative, a need to seek knowledge and understanding of this life and a relationship with Jesus. Coincidentally, these are all things you already stay away from.
As for you: to lean on your own understanding to get through this life, how scary is that? If this is all there is, ???????????????????????
winterfootsteps: No, I think you've shown yourself to be so "real" and open to differernt perspectives, and have shown yourself to be entirely loveable despite your "differences" with all your lovely friends. Why, who can top that? You greatly overstate who and what I'm about, but then you know that. How can you be more like me? First, don't pretend to be wittier or smarter than you are. And seek help for your problems.
Everyone doesn't want to be like me, they want to be like *you*. You clearly have all the answers. You know who is right, who is wrong, who is good, who is bad, who stole candybars from convenience stores as children, who will burn in Hell and who will live in Heaven forever.
Tell me, tonestar, what is your life story? How can I be more like you? What is it that compels you to be how you are? That way I can stay away from it.
winterfootsteps: Oh, thanks for portraying yourself as so cosmopolitan, and urbane; you can actually have friends that love you despite disagreeing on so many things. Wow, your so chill. I never met anybody like you! So hip and progressive. And tolerant too. Everybody wants to be like you. Look at her, there she goes, it's winterfootsteps!
GREAT :))) Love John and Jack's pretty cool too.

I love to see actors/entertainers getting involved in current world topics. It makes them seem more human and we can relate.
Keep this comming!

tonestar,
What would I do without your insight and answers to life's most sought-after questions?
Now run along now and go talk to someone who gives a shit. I'm done.

You are ever so welcome, tonestar.
