Couldn't have said it better myself.

I say,"LET THEM GET MARRIED!!"
Up here in Canada the Pope is urging the catholic politicians to vote against same sex marriages,he says "it's their moral OBLIGATION to prevent this from happening."
That's trouble if you ask me,the religious folks getting together with the politicians.
He reffers to some age old rule/law that according to them,it's not moral to have a child raised by two person of the same sex.
I have gay friends that are EXAMPLORY PARENTS(spelling?) and they are far better at parenting then some other friends that are considered "normal"(because they are of different sex )
When the politicians and the religious folks get involved into other people's domistic ways of living,I say that's when we get into trouble...
What's next???The pope does not like oral sex,therefore it will be banned????
When these people "IN POWER" start thinking for other folks I say " it's time for them to take a long walk on a short pier!!!"
I think you all know what I really mean,but some people might get offended by it!

My 2 cents.

What the fuck does the pope know?

 

[naturaltan]

I'll agree with Dero, nicely stated!

 

[ponyboy]

That could be a good t-shirt slogan...kind of like Bo Knows from back in the eighties...

"Pope knows...bigotry"

"Pope knows...intolerance"

"Pope knows...manipulation"

Any ideas? I think it's a marketing dream!

Don't get me started on dat 'boon!!!

I may not understand it, but I think we should have the freedom to live our own lives, and trying to make laws in the bedroom seems ridiculous.

Some of the gay people I work with are 'better' people that most of the straight folks here.

Only ONE law for the bedroom,"ENJOY IT."

I think being "gay" is genetic, not some decision, thats another thing I think is ridiculous. Who wakes up one day and decides they want to get beat down in the streets and bang guys on purpose? Its genetic IMO, I think its funny to think anyone would just decide out of the blue.

Just so my "I dont understand it" thing wasn't misinterpreted

I view myself as somewhat conservative on many issues, but is not conservatism not sticking your finger in someone elses eye socket? Letting them live thier own lives? Its funny how liberals dont liberate and conservatives want to shove their dong down your throat these days.

You don't have to say anything. Let people read for themselves.

Catholic church supporting intolerance and non-acceptance of gays.

 

[ponyboy]

That is a prime example of why I think organized religion is a crock.

IMO that is just an excuse to do it.

 

[Mudge]

Religion is not a crock, the people that run it, and distort it - is what makes it a crock.

Otherwise we would have perhaps one religion for each peoples yes? Instead people re-write laws, formulate opinions, and split off and create thier own sect of the previous religion they came from. Some of it is simply different interpretation of the bible, but ultimately I view it as mankind muddying the waters because we are emotional, dimwitted, thoughtless creatures.

Huh? This is not murder were talking about, if you are attracted to a man, you are - if you are attracted to a woman with a certain look, then thats just the way it is.

Are we not here to live of our own free will? To do as we see fit, and be judged in the afterlife? Should I be slaughtered for my beliefs? Is there seperation of church and state, or is this a myth?

If I am not hurting anyone because I prefer dark haired women, then what is the big deal?

Then genetics is just your excuse for being straight.

Do you honestly think homosexuality is one's choice?

I'm interested to hear the opinions of those who voted against it.

I am guessing they all consider themselves "religious." Every argument I have heard against gay marriage centers around what is "moral", and those ideas are religion-based.

You guys know what really gets me, is men who want to beat and kill "faggots," but being a lesbian is OK and in fact do it in front of me please! Unless they are butch dikes then we can kill them too

Hypocrites.

 

[Jenny]

I'm all for it. Love is love in whatever form. They should have the same rights as anyone else.

And dg, please explain what you mean by that comment. Excuse? Er, I think you got it all wrong..

Exactly! I think men doing that and some men who are really homophobic might have some kind of feelings that they don't want to explore.. So, they pretend it doesn't exist and tries to destroy it by abusing people belonging to that "community".

Not calling anyone gay here, so don't even go there..

 

[brennan]

oh God, religion discussions never go anywhere...but i'll throw in my 2 cents...i do also believe bein gay is genetic...who would choose to be? especially wit all the shit that gay people seem to have to go thru...and its not "natural" (not tryin to be rude on this point) but its not...but i have no problem wit it and if they want to be married then all the power to them...i dont know why other people feel threatened by it...thats my take

Exactly why I voted against gay marriage. I'm totally conservative, and southern baptist. The bible states that gay marriages are forbidden so that's what I think and believe.

Absolutely!
Or should I say learned lifestyle?

Careful, it seems the crowd is tolerant of just about everything EXCEPT someone who believes homosexuality is not genetic or has a belief in the Bible.

DUCK ... it's starting all over again.

That's the way to take words and shove them into people's mouths!
