Baltimore's Catholic head uses atrocious "blacks vs. gays" argument against marriage rights

Full story: www.metroweekly.com

Edwin O'Brien, Baltimore 's soon-to-be Cardinal, used a speech this week to denouce marriage rights for Maryland 's gay and lesbian couples. He angrily attacked the pending passage of marriage bills in the House and Senate. Maryland's Governor, Martin O'Malley, is a strong supporter of marriage equality and he helped to introduce the bills this past Tuesday.

On Wednesday, O'Brien put his own spin on one of the most heinous arguments put forth by social and religious conservatives -- that gay people's civil rights are an affront to black people and the rights of black people.

Not according to the AMA or APA. However, HOMOPHOBIA is a treatable disorder.

Homosexuality is a mental disorder. Even the homos know that - just from what they do to each other.
Speaking of mental disorders? And apparently with a total loss of a grip on reality. Gotta say these comments do have some humor value due to their absurdity! Also these comments are great proof of the need for laws that protect gay people against the looney fringe.

You’re obviously too much of an idiot to appreciate the irony in spending so much of your time among people you accuse of “deviance” and “aberration.” Maybe by the time you turn 14, you’ll look back in embarrassment at your stupidity. But probably not.

The Cardinal-To-Be is a bigot of the worst sort. He chose to be Catholic, and a bigot. I chose nothing insofar as my sexual orientation. As Popeye said, "I yam what I yam, and that's all what I yam (toot, toot)". And for him to claim that gays and lesbians getting Marriage Equality would diminish the civil rights of blacks is total, utter bigotry in action. I diminish no civil rights of any African American if I wed my spouse of almost 40 years. If anything, Marriage Equality will EXPAND the civil rights of every U.S. citizen, gay or straight, or any orientation between.

Gay people have it hard, there's no denying that. At the same time I get tired of them trying to compare what they're going through, to what black people have went through for 100's of years.

The truth is if gays were excepted they would be marching up and down the street with the kkk, holding signs saying go home mexicans,and we hate nixxers.

So they can stop all of this black people we feel your pain b.s.....

And I am getting tired of those black people (and they are certainly not the whole) who think they have a monopoly on oppression. Remember everyone's history is different and oppression is not something you can quantify. It's like comparing apples and oranges. How can one compare being kidnapped from one's land and sold into slavery with having ones land stolen and culture wiped out, for example

Please share your sentiments with the homosexuals who were killed in German ovens during WW II. Or those who were forcefully institutionalized or lobotomized to get rid of their homosexual tendencies. Or the kids who are beat up, even killed, because they are gay. I'm sure they would appreciate all the pain you have gone through. <Oh, wait, I guess it will be hard to share since these people are dead.>

I am not trying to belittle or demean the evil, horrible things done to Africans and then to black Americans, but homosexuals throughout western history have not exactly been living in a land of milk and honey either. Discrimination, prejudice and bigotry are just that, regardless of the group to whom they are applied. Our society will be better as we gradually reduce these evils for all groups.

There was a study done at the University of Georgia in 2006 that demonstrated that the more rabidly homophobic a man was, thte more strongly he responded to gay porn. You're giving yourself away, sweetie.

I never said gays were not discriminated against. Its wrong for any group of people to have to go through what they have and still are going through.

I said they need to stop using black peoples hard ships as any example to there own, to help draw attention to themselves. If people were ok with gay marriage...ect...ect. 90% of them wouldn't give a fk about black peoples struggles.

You better check your facts. About a year ago the APA put a brochure
out questioning their decision that homosexuality is not a choice.
They are now leaning towards it being a choice and mental disorder.

Good post !

And let's not forget that while it is certainly true that black people in the U.S. were victims of slavery, one of the MOST EVIL practices there is, it is equally true that WHITE PEOPLE FROM EUROPE were also held as slaves here at the same time. But they were called "indentured servants". There lot was oftentimes no better than the black slaves, and they certainly had no legal rights as an indentured servant, just as black slaves did not.

So for black people to say that their experience was unique and exclusively their own is A LIE.

That's only because they couldn't stand on the side lines and yell with the rest of the whites. We hate nixxers. If white racist were cool with them being gay. They would have been throwing rocks and spitting at blacks with the rest of them.

Now not all white people are racist, but I'm sure there are some gay racist out there too.

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Libra

It's one of those difficult days when anything can and will happen. Someone you were relying on might let you down, plans could be changed at the eleventh hour or a machine could go on the blink. To make matters worse, your energy levels are very erratic, so you feel full of beans one minute and ready to go to sleep the next. Don't make the situation worse by eating foods that give you a high followed by a slump.
