This is a free country,a person has a right to associate themselves with and who they please,that is one of the reasons our troops are over there fighting.The gay rights group cannot force everyone to think their way,read your Bibles and see what the Lord has to say about the situation.

What is it with these gay rights people? They want to rob the families of what is right and then tell others what they can or cannot do or believe. I'll be relegious and tell the gays that God made them man and woman. Yes, God loves them, but abhors what they represent. It's time that they understand that they have a responsibility to live up to life's rightness and the respect of the One who gives them everything they have with the exception of their perverted behaviors. The one that gave that gift to them is who they will spend enternity with. They need to prepare now for an eternity of gnashing of their teeth and the smell of sulfur. If God made you a man, act like it. If God made you a woman, act like it. If God had intended us to be one sex, He would have stopped with Adam. Saying that you are gay is only a cowardly way of not havibg to live up to your humanly responsibilities.

Whether Tony Dungy wants to go to this banquet, or think whatever he wants to think about homosexual "marriage" is his business.

As a gay male, I agree that a person has the right to associate with any group or person they choose. I do not think less of Coach Dungy just because he is the person being honored or is the speaker. I don't agree with everything and I know others don't always agree with me on every topic. I would hate for someone to tell me what events I can and cannot attend.

Please don't group all gay people together as trying to deny someone a right.

Anyone has the right to support any organization he/she wants to at any time. Stop trying to drag a local sports figure into gay rights junk.

bigot
One entry found for bigot.

Courtesy of Merriam-Webster:

Main Entry: big·ot
Pronunciation:'bi-g&t
Function: noun
Etymology: French, hypocrite, bigot
: a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance.

So...I'm supposed to tolerate your "choice" in lifestyle? DO NOT dictate to me how I'm supposed to accept you! Back your happy @ss bus up somewhere else for sympathy!

Dear Mr. Dungy:
Please, please, please do not draw the Colts into the political hate arena that is dividing so many people these days. You appear to be a man of integrity and your leadership roll as the coach of the INDIANAPOLIS Colts calls for you to represent all the citizens of our fine city including those of various skin colors, diverse religious affiliations, ethnic origins and sexual orientations.
If you embrace this group's hateful agenda, I will be very diappointed in you.
Thank you.

Dungy, of course, has every right to speak at this gathering of right-wingers, I suppose. And I will exercise my right to criticize his actions, his beliefs, and never attend another Colts game again.

Hoping Coach Dungy not only attends but I hope he speaks out how WRONG THE BIBLE SAYS being Gay is. We don't hate the sinners but the SIN. READ your BIBLES...there is not two ways how God thinks on this topic. If you want to call that judging so be it..but you are wrong. As far as chancing heaven - I would rather be the one that errors to the side of safety!! QUIT TRYING TO FORCE YOUR GAY RIGHTS ON US!!!!!!!!!!

How about everybody grow up. If someone wants to believe being gay is wrong, so be it. If someone wants to believe being straight, is wrong so be it. If everyone would stop worrying about what everybody thinks this world would be a hell of a lot better. Gay rights, Straight rights. How about freedom of speech and deal with it.

great, that is another seat that we can buy since next season is almost sold out again. who gives any organization has the right to dictate to anyone outside of the organization what they can and cannot do. does this organization not go to church since most churches are against the gay life style. does this organization only shop at places that come straight out and defend gay lifestyle. and last who CARES what your sexual desires are, it is NO ONES business what you do behind closed doors. i am tired of people coming out why. does it prove anything. your sex life is PRIVATE.

not all people agree with the gay rights agenda..the coach has the right to appear with any organization that he wants to appear with...ALL individual differences need to be honored.

The world has turned upside down.
I would never have believed some group like this would get the attention it is getting in my 75 years of age.
Don't listen to 'em, Coach. And, don't feel you have to say anything to the press about it. It will only fuel their dribe.

Daily Horoscope for May 24

Aquarius

In complete contrast to yesterday, you have your head screwed on firmly today. Yet you won't be boringly sensible or drearily practical, so there's no danger of you having turned into a dry old stick overnight. It's a good day for keeping track of important details and processes, such as confirming a forthcoming appointment or filling in a form and then making a copy of it before sending it off.
