    Excuse me, but the Bible talks about gays in several places. Are they to leave those verses out? Many imam and clerics are preaching hate and jihad in their mosques. I don't hear her asking them to show their sermon before they give it.

    Thanks for firing up the social conservatives just a few days before the election, Ms, Parker.

    True, Christianity has a bad past. But Christianity has come a long way since then. Islam hasn't.

    Christianity has had many "pauses" in history, but the violence keeps coming back

    Homosexuality is not politics.

    It is definitely politics for the left.

    Not a problem. I have an easy fix. Let's dissolve the tax exemptions for churches. Then, this wouldn't be an issue, would it?

    But, of course, that isn't going to happen. So, in the meantime, obey the rules and there is still no problem.

    He's making a post on ignorance. Government facilities are considered public forums under IRC and are given the greatest of leeway for political speech.

    Are they involved in campaigning?

    Why does this surprise you?

    I've said it before and I'll say it again: "progressives" are closet Stalinists. The New Left apple didn't fall far from the Old Left tree...

    Unbelievable.

    I am in awe of this blatant disregard for our constitutional right & the blunt reality that a queer mayor is openly doing this. She should be immediately thrown out of office for even trying to do this. Amazing thing is, people will say, "what gay agenda?" with a serious face.

    We won't even look at the mosque where terrorists are coming from but somebody said something against gays and subpoenas are in order?

    Very scary, where these idiots are taking us in this country. A nation in chaos doesn't last for long before the dictators take over. Just sayin.....

    so says a hem grabber............you don't have the Right to over-throw your government. Your history is so rich with atrocities and genocide, we pale in comparison.
    Great Britain has been losing real estate since America stood up on their legs and ran them off. India, South Africa, the Congo, America, Spain, and Europe. GB is no longer regarded as a world power, just a bunch of blowhards with nothing to back it up with. And last, but not least, you history stretches back a lot further than ours and it is drenched in blood, all in the name of some obscure ruler.
    Now you want to put your nose back in our business? Have you learned nothing?

    The state can be red as all get out, but the question is who controls the cities. Like tennessee is a red state, but memphis is great majority democrat voters.

    So not really that surprising when you break it down.

    Neither is Stalinism, and the churches were one of the first places the "progressives" in the USSR went after following the Bolshevik Revolution.

    To see the "progressives" in this country following in their footsteps makes me sick, and I'm not a religious man...

    I have a hard time believing that any political administration in any American city would subpoena sermons of ministers of any faith.

    Government does not pay taxes on buildings. Government employees don't pay into SS. Hey, a tax break is a tax break.

    Free speech has nothing to do with government endorsing anything except freedom.

    The state isn't the one trampling the first amendment of the US Constitution.

    It's the gay-run city of Houston.

    I hope the gays are disappointed in her.

    She is fulfilling the "gay agenda" many people claim exists.... yet they deny.

    I have a feeling they are celebrating this instead though, not realizing how bad it makes them look.
