    Don't...get me STARTED on this! This is my number one civil rights issue, and has been for years.

    Civil registry MY ASS. If my (black) self, lol, and my white (Jewish) husband were required to enlist on a civil registry instead of get married, no one in this day and age would think that was okay. (Well, I can only hope.) Why? It's obvious. To make people register means that they are different than you, less human. Why not make them wear a scarlet letter? We are talking about CIVIL marriage. In your small-minded church, you can deny anyone you want. But a justice of the peace/ civil magistrate should be able to marry any two people who understand what "marriage" is and who intend to fufill the committments of it.

    The last state over-turned their miscegenation statute in 1967! FOR THE EVER LOVE OF CHRIST! It would be a crime for me to have married my husband back then?!

    History will frown upon the freaks who are overly obsessed with what goes on in bedrooms other than theirs just like it frowns on Japanese internment camps, just like it frowns now on Jim Crow.

    Indeed it's very sad. But it's also part of the fabric of humanity in the current conditions: bigotry lives on, it's going strong.

    Anyone who cares about justice, fairness, human rights, and personal integrity is required by the mechanics of those values to keep standing up against bigotry.

    This will probably take generations to finally be erased from the planet.

    Actually, yes I do. It seems sad that although most people want to be accepted for who and what they are also criticize and are usually the ones to be most prejudice. How can some who say they have an open mind so cruelly and maliciously go after those who are themsleves and are willing to put up with the bad press. Kudos to those who are out there being themselves and doing as they please. Good question, it's about time someone noticed.

    Yes, i agree with you. If you want to be gay go ahead. I hate when people talk shit about homosexuality. It's none of their fucken business what they do. Just worry about what you do.

    Many would like you to believe that it is a psychological disease or genetic defect, the fact of the matter is that it is niether. Every humanbeing, and I know im going to catch flak for this one, has bi-sexual tendencies, some more greater than others which blossoms into homosexuality. Everyone on the planet, including every AB member, you and me included, has a bi-sexual genome embedded within our chemical makeup.

    That's right YOU, like me, are either, borderline bi-sexual, or gay. Of course we deny it,... our moral programming prevents us from exploring that which is natural in nature, our moral influences tell us that it is a durogatory habit which they feel empowered to cure or cleanse the human species of. It matters not what they do, to eradicate homosexuality they would need to rewrite the genetic code and correct that error which God or whatever creator had made... contradictating and editing everything the perfectness of the creator to fit their own ideal. Insane isn't it?

    Yes, I thought we'd be over that by now. Naive, huh? Why it's anyone else's business what someone's sexual orientation is, is way beyond me. Even more, why would anyone else care?
    I remember in 1964, when the Civil Rights Act passed in the US, I was a very excited little kid thinking we'd wake up in the morning and everyone would be treated equally and would love each other. Let's see, it's 43 years later....

    Oh yeah.
    But i think that sometime in the future that no one will even give that a second thought. since we have come a lot further in that departement through the years.
    and i didn't know this before recently, but that some say: a marrige is a union beetween a man and a wmoan, it's always been that way, and should always stay that way, if two of the same sex can marry, what will be the next, somone could marry an animal. That's just a bunsh of bullshit. how can anyone compear 2 humans with an animal.
    I am all for gay rights, and think it is so sad that some people are so small minded that they consider this a problem.

    (i'm problably gonna get rated down for this, but i'll say it anyway)
    And for all the small minded christians out there: If god didn't want ''me'' to be gay, ''i'' woulden't be. and that thing when god said, that we should be many or somthing, that indicates that a woman should be with a man, and a man with a woman, well go figure, it was like only adam and eve then, No it is not.
    Homosexuality is good. It's all love, and what can be so wrong about that.

    I for one, think that homosexuality is nature's way of solving the population problem on the earth. If more people could be openly homosexual, there would be fewer babies born, and the earth could sustain the population. Unfortunately, there are a lot of stereotypes about gays that create fear in others. It's a fear thing. Whether someone is a decent person or not depends on where their heart and how they treat their fellow man, and not what they do in the bedroom.

    yeah i know..i think homosexuality is not a problem.its a normal thing..i kind of like it that its not the woman and man ideal it can also be woman 2 woman and man 2 man..it shouldnt be a problem..i believe if a man and a man love ishoulder then we should not get in theire way with sayng there is not aloud for homos. to get married ore adopte a child..homos. are just as normal as us..its just humans that cant understand and afraid of new things, so they just see it as "a problem"..i mean iven way back in history the man kind have been afraid of the unknown..we ourself are destroyng our self, with our beliefe and rules..we should have an open mind on things rather than to see it as a problem and try to find a solution like that will work..it may..but its just wrong...and sometimes what we think is right it just may be wrong=)

    It's more than sad. It's a concerted effort to control the dialogue by people who have less than honorable intentions. Whomever controls the debate ends up winning. Right now, the folks who have much to gain by using GLBT folks as pawns in their political and power games are winning.

    The GLBT cannot afford to feel victimized, ever! The GLBT community simply must always control the debate. At every turn, the special interest anti-gay organizations, clergy and politicos must be challenged and successfully countered when they broadcast and publish their non-truths.

    GLBT folks are not the problem. Discrimination and anti-gay slurs are the problems.

    Don't feel sad, feel empowered and feel in control.

    swabby!

    I think it is ridiculous. Especially when I hear it from someone close to my age, or younger. You think this generation would be a little less close-minded and more accepting.

    I don't have a problem with homosexuals, but I also don't think it's sad that people have the right to talk about behavior however they want. Everybody is part of one group or another that somebody doesn't like. You may not agree with their assumptions, but most people will give you a reason for the way they think, that includes people who don't like gays. Also I don't see why people should think a certain way just because it's 'okay' now. It's a personal choice - some people will agree with it, some people won't. What's so sad about that?

    Taken from Raptureready.com

    The Bible begins with God's outline for marriage and family. He starts that way because it is very important to Him. It is through a proper understanding of the marriage covenant and family unity that we have a glimpse of God's love for us and the covenant He made with us.

    The Bible very clearly defines what is allowed between a man and a woman and also what is disallowed between members of the same sex. "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable" (Lev. 18:22 and 20:13). First Corinthians 6:9-11 says that people practicing homosexuality will not inherit the kingdom of God unless they are cleansed through Christ. You can read further about this issue in Genesis 19; Romans 1:18-32; 1 Timothy 1:8-11; and Jude, verse 7.

    Remember, it is the homosexual act, not the homosexual person that God detests. Even Jesus was tempted by the devil in the wilderness and He overcame that temptation. That is what God is calling every person struggling with homosexual desires to do. First Corinthians 10:13 says, "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."

    So, yes, I think it is a problem.

    I was brought up believing being gay was a sin. When I was a teenager I was homophobic. Then when I got into the work force I had a girl get mad at me because I wouldn't go out with her. She started spreading rumors around at work that I was a homosexual. At first I didn't think too much about it, I thought people knew better. I was wrong, her friends also believed her and they started spreading the rumor. With half a dozen women spreading the same rumor I guess it became easy to believe and a lot of people started believing. I experienced the stigmatism that a lot of gay people have to put up with. How I use to treat gay people when I was a homophobic bigot.


    I'm not sure if this girl set a self fulfilling prophesy in motion or if it was just something she saw in me, in my character, that I didn't realize. Some women, like she claimed, have a knack for spotting gay guys just by watching them for a short while. As time went on I started thinking about it a lot and eventually it became engrained into fibers. It's now part of me, part of my makeup, my character.


    I started experiencing homosexual tendencies. I tried to suppress them but they only got stronger. I figured they were just thoughts which would pass and I'd never act on them. I'll just keep my thoughts to myself. I was wrong about that. As time went on these thoughts turned into fantasies, suppressing them was the last thing I wanted to do. I started surfing the web, looking at gay (transsexual) porn sites. Now I'm hooked, I'm in love with T-Girls.


    These tendencies got so stronger they started to control my thoughts. At times I couldn't focus on anything else. Now I search the web for dating sites. I'm ready to start dialoging and going out on dates. Once I start dating transsexuals it’s just one small step to gravitate towards dating homosexuals. So this self fulfilling prophecy is what will finally bring me peace and contentment. I can take joy in knowing I've found myself and now know who/what
    I’ am. Those girls spreading that rumor about me have changed me forever. I understand why gay people say it's impossible to change and even if they could they never would.


    So was I born straight? Yes


    Am I a homosexual now? What do you think? I'd love to hear your replies.


    Tell me if this sounds like poetic justice ;)

    Of course it's a problem! Up until recent Libral times, Homosexuality was considered a Mental Illness and you would be arrested or confined to a Mental Institution if you acted on your bizzare anti-social impulses. Now they want to flunt it in your face and get legally married to boot! Imagine if your son or daughter wanted to have sex with a donkey or dog or a tree for that matter! You'd ship them off to the nut house! And rightly so! It's as nutty and wrong as killing or stealing. God help us!
