Gays: The New Blacks

posted May 29, 2008 - 4:40pm
Gays: The New Blacks

Last week gay marriage was legalized in California. Today New York's Governor has given the okay for gay marriages from other states and countries to be recognized in New York state.

Now the conservative nutcases are out in full force to deny this very important equal right to gays and lesbians in our country. The Human Rights Campaign is reporting that the right-wing lawmakers have gathered a petition of one million signatures to put a gay marriage ban on the ballot in California in November.

Isn't this the same discrimination that reminds one of the former law where a black person could not marry a white person?

If the majority of white people wanted to keep that ban would that be "right"? When will our government just say "This is it! Gays should have the right to marry like any other person and it doesn't matter what the majority says."? If the majority says it's okay to kill someone, does that make it right?

This issue is just crazy. Equal rights for everyone. That's what this country should stand for. It's time for some strong individuals to say just that. Let's not let gays be the new blacks.

Then Who Made Me? Am I Satan's Son?

Oh Bobbi.....please. I think "thou shall not judge" is also in the Bible but, you know, sinner that I am....haven't read one lately :) "It states right in the scriptures that God hates adultery, liars and homosexuals..." God hates? Hmmm....I think you might wanna do an exorcism on yourself.....I'm sure the devil made you say that one! And you still haven't updated your photo....shame shame...

God did NOT Make Homosexuals

It states right in the scriptures that God hates adultery, liars and homosexuals... To say God made homosexuals is like saying God made liars, and He made adulterers. He loves us, but He hates the act. You must remember He is Holy and hates all sin. Maybe it's time to read the 10 Commandments ~ Better yet go to http://www.biblegateway.com/keyword/ and look up some words you may be wondering about. See For Yourself what the Scriptures say. Remember that is Gods Word.

Wow

Well that one takes the cake Cracker Jack. I'm speechless. I pray to our God to forgive your sins.

God Made Man Then Man Returned the Favor

Your title confuses me in so much that a marriage is a religiously based union recognized by the state. Isn't it? What I find difficult in your statement about God and homosexuals... First I must assume you are speaking about God the father of Christ. If you are, then what I am saying about this part relates to that. If you are citing any other man made "god" then I can not relate. Yes, God made man. And God provided rules (10 commandments) These rules reflect absolute truths. 1-4 pertain to mans' relationship with God and 6-10 pertain to mans' relationship with others. God did not design and promote homosexuality. He clearly taught against it. God does not abide sin. A similar ideation might be: Man made the gun. And man made rules (laws) about the use of the gun. Man did not make men who use their guns illegally. Justice (men who enforce the laws) will not abide injustice. Homosexuals (& other sinners who do not want to repent) get mad at God in the same way criminals get mad at the law. God does not pit himself against men, in the same way that the laws of society are not pitted against men. See, God loves us all regardless of what we have done and patiently waits for us to repent of our ways and come to him. He does not force us to himself. God's laws (10 commandments) were not meant for men to be able to follow but instead to reflect the deep need for God's forgiveness as we are all sinners in that we all fall short of God's laws. That is why Christ died on the cross. To become the permanent sacrifice that covers our sins and allows us forgiveness. Flamboyancy is not necessarily the problem. Gay sexually based interactions are. Kissing, touching, etc. Especially as it starts to cross over into television and is piped into my living room. If I were at a party with an openly gay couple, showing openly gay affections for one another, I would avoid the area where they are. I would never attack them, unless of course this inappropriate behavior were at "My Party". But if I were at some party and if it were not possible to be away from them while they were "making out" or holding hands or what-ever then I would just leave. "Closed Mindedness" and "Getting Over It" are the pomp and circumstance of the New World Order. You can trumpet these calls to the masses just like Oprah and all together a one world religion shall be formed. Who will take the head of the one world religion? Satan. The end is clearly written in the bible and it has been unfolding in our world before, during and after our time. The changing climate of society does not scare me as I will seek shelter in my Lord and Savior. Nothing that happens to me will ever break my faith in Christ.

Important to point out

There is no such thing as the "homosexual lifestyle". Homosexuality is a sexual orientation, not a lifestyle. Join Xomba!

 
 

You're Full Of Crap Pub

If you believe that it's NOT about that. Of course it's about fears of the "homosexual lifestyle". You yourself brought up the homosexual "agenda" in schools, whatever that is. People need to know the gay person and realize they are no different than straights. They just do things with the same sex in the bedroom, things that straight people do too I might add. Things that are STILL illegal in some states but the same things many straight people do. A friend of mine brought up an interesting point. He brought up that is IS a choice to be gay, for those married guys who need a little oral satisfaction that apparently their wives won't give them. Interesting....which brings me back to my point that you already know gays but just don't know it. Publius, why are you so afraid of gays? I'm sure all Xombies have wondered this :)

I think you may be confused,

I think you may be confused, mrbronco. This debate is not about religion and people's "fear" or "hatred" of homosexuals or homosexual marriage. It is about law and it is about defining behaviors and historical institutions. I think you ought to read the dissenting opinions by Justices Baxter and Corrigan of the California Supreme Court in regards to the Lockyer case. Lockyer, California Supreme Court Decision These dissenting opinions are the result of logic and appropriate legal analysis. Read them thoroughly and try to understand exactly why the "rights" of homosexuals have not been violated and why the actual rights of the People have been. Maybe then you will understand why so many people oppose such ridiculous mandates by the courts and why they are angered by the false cries of homosexuals and their advocacy groups. *If you're interested in reading my articles, Click Here.

Civil Union Does Not Equal Marriage And God Made Homosexuals

And that in itself would be ok....if the benefits were the same, which they aren't. Some are but some aren't. As for the religion aspect of gay marriage, this has nothing to do with religion. I seem to notice that whenever religion is brought up as a reason it leads to issues. Hasn't just about every war fought been over religion? Let's drop the religion thing here. Everyone should be allowed to love and marry whomever they fall in love with. As for the argument that the plight of the gay person is not equal to the black person, that's true in of the actual events of each group's suffering, but each group has suffered immensely for something that God chose for them. Yes people, God made homosexuals! He made everyone in the way he wanted. I'm sure he has his reasons. Now....when will you closed minded people wake up! Maybe the problem is that some of you only see the gays that are flamboyant? So therefore all gays are that way? That's like hating all black people because you hear about all the crime rates in the inner city. So many people are gay that you probably don't even know that they are gay. This is really still a scorching hot topic. I'm actually a bit shocked at this. Last summer I went to my niece's Sweet 16 party on Long Island. There was an openly lesbian teen couple there. And guess what? Not one person there even batted an eyelash! Thank God for the youth. They will change things for the better.

All in a Name

I always figured that if they simply called it something else instead of marriage, people would be a lot less resistant to the whole idea. In any case, it's not marriage since marriage is defined as being heterosexual.
