    Sly,

    I dont care what people do in privacy. I really dont. Conservatives though are denying homosexuals the right to marry their own kind (other homosexuals) and this is as wrong as denying a black person the right to marry a white person. It is discrimination.

    It comes into the public eye when you list a same sex spouse or significant other. If I walk down the street holding my wife's hand as heterosexual couples do it becomes visible. So it comes out in so many different ways. It is public who we are with. I won't hide my lesbianism to keep from offending the ignorant and bigoted people. I do not go overboard I act as anyone should. No tonsil hockey on the street corner.

    You dont need to hide who you are. If the bigots dont have negro's to abuse they abuse homosexuals. Bigots will always find someone to taunt, tease, and abuse. They are very sick people and many are dangerous.

    Yes they are.
    I don't hide it but act within the rules of decorum in public. I think anyone should do as much. I just do not hide the fact that I love my wife. I will kiss her or put my arm around her and that is part of life.
    It is not some radical agenda it is what people do.
    Thanks for being supportive!

    Carrying a firearm could be a good idea, I imagine if I were homosexual I would carry more often in certain areas (I mean carrying a firearm more often than I already do). lol

    You have my support Smiley and I know that in time, and very soon, you will be treated with full equality under the law in the USA. In Canada we treat all men and women equally regardless of race, creed, colour, age, or sexual orientation.

    Probably you have forgotten the Commandment of God:

    "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."

    KJV Mark 16:15

    It is charge of any true Christian to point towards the wrong behavior.

    Now you stoop to blasphemy? This is not a Commandment of God.

    LOL,

    for the true Christians is the entirely Bible a Commandment.


    "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:"
    2 Ti 3:16 KJV

    I have been able to marry and that was important. It required a temporary residence change but now it's a done deal and we are very happy. We did consider a trip to Canada at the time as well. But we stayed Massachusetts as they were the first state to strike down the bigoted law.

    It is also the a Christian duty to not be judgmental.

    Homosexual Marriage = Un-Normal, Man-Made, Defient to God, Pervert, Un-Reconized and not legit in the normal world.

    you're missing one very important point here. you don't have a constitutional right to not be offended.

    Then don't argue the point that we are making a big deal that only happens in the privacy of someones house. I'm sick of hearing it and will bring up "then don't bring it out in public," every time someone does say it.

    Unfortunately any same-sex couple will be denied due process of the law if they move to a state that prohibits same-sex marriage under the "mini-DOMA" laws enacted by the States.

    Fortunately "God" is not a US citizen and the Bible has no legal standing in the United States.

    Some of the states that were denying rights have made some changes. I was pleasantly surprised when Illinois in June of this year moved toward a level playing ground with the advent of Civil Union. Wisconsin has recognized partner status rights. Laws and trends are moving in the direction of acceptance. It will be a slow process. Considering the movement only began in earnest in 1969 with the riots at Stonewall Inn in NY we have gained much ground.

    Until the Supreme Court addresses this issue, which it likely related to DOMA and California's Prop 8 (which has a hearing on Monday) the violations of same-sex couple's Constitutional Rights to equal protection and due process of the law will not be resolved. Similiar to Loving v Virginia there is no question that the discrimination against gays and lesbians is unconstitutional but it will take the Supreme Court to enforce the protection of these rights.

    The word "judgmental" is an invention of leftists who want to silence Christians. We have the Holy Bible and follow the God's Commandments. Period.

    As far as living one's personal life I see no one objecting but when Christians attempt to impose their religious beliefs upon others in the United States then there is a serious problem especially when it violates the US Constitution.

    Americans endorse freedom of religion but oppose establishment of religion.

    I have always thought, incorrectly, that the USA was "one nation under God". Seems that iust more American propaganda for in the area of justice it seems the US is really 50 different countries. Perhaps Rick Perry is right and Texas should leave - Texas could be # 1 in the world for executing people even ahead of Communist China.

    that is why i hate the arming of jews to establish what is now known as israel. (to address the claim above)

    The error of this debate is now, an arming of the ignorant from legal teams trying to render and literally suggesting that homosexual marriage is a legal right when the terms of both homosexual and marriage not only violate common sense but is literally opposing nature.

    ie.... homosexual intercourse is not 'normal' to life that procreates (to live into the following generations) and marriage is about that very concept of lineage protection upon procreation.

    reality stands and idiots fight using legal methodology to impose a morality of equality but are simply lying to themselves at the forefront of the terminology to begin with.


    it is like trying to suggest that homosexuality (a choice of the conscious) is a genetic issue, which is a bonafide lie. The ONLY genetic HOMOSeXUAL accountability within the human species (consciously capable of choice) that could genetically exist is of the hemorphradite in which both sexual parts are found upon birth (genetically)

    The rest of the BS is just crap and lies.

    it is why the issue is perfect within a religious section!

    Bishadi, you've taken aim at homosexuals and Jews so how about posting some bigotted hatred about the negros and chinese.

    Im sure if you 'think' about it, and I use the 'think' process in your case with reservations, you really will come up with a brilliant thesis. Come on buddy give it your best shot...............
