IF BEING GAY IS SO RIGHT, WHY DO GAY PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO BROADCAST IT???
RE the headline of this thread: if being gay is so right, why do gay people feel the need to broadcast it??? My ANSWER: For many of the same reasons a "christian " declares their faith. To be noticed. To make a statement. To stand up for ourselves and our beliefs. To feel better about ourselves. To have a sense we belong. To help put an end to the hatred and lies about us. To help bring about a change for good in our society. (7 hrs ago | post #16574)
Foe of Gay Marriage in New York Says It’s Nothing Personal
Yes Senator it is personal. It's very easy to talk about ideals, but we are talking about U.S. Citizens being denied legal equal protection under the law. We are talking about people's LIVES. That IS personal. But you are OK with that as evidenced by your personal crusade against us. Whenever the issue relates to GLBT Citizens being treated as decent human beings, you oppose it. THAT IS PERSONAL. (7 hrs ago | post #3)

You have attacked other religious institutions and endorsed the religious persecution of Christians who disagree with you. Not very christ like in my eyes (Wednesday Nov 4 | post #104)

Maine's same-sex marriage vote nears
Umm it was people outside of Maine who filed the original lawsuit this round. But why should you use facts when they contradict your "truth"? (Wednesday Nov 4 | post #203)
Maine's same-sex marriage vote nears
Amendment 9. Amendment 14. Article 4 Sec 1 & 2. Oh and lets be very happy that you have even found a way around amendment 1 and religious freedom. The State of Maine (and 37 others) now legally grants protection to select church groups and religious institutions on marriage and denies equal protection to others. And the really amazing thing is many of these are Christian Churches that now have no legal standing when they perform certain marriages between two Adult U.S. Citizens. Sounds like "special rights" to me. Thought you folks opposed that. (Wednesday Nov 4 | post #202)
And Now the Good News - R-71 Wins in Washington!
Let the people decide if hundreds of churches and other religious institutions should be legally discriminated against? wow, great plan. It's working. Welcome to the slippery slope you are so afraid of. Of course this wasn't the slope you thought you'd created was it? It is now legal in Maine and many other States for the Government to grant preferential treatment to certain Churches, and DENY Religious protections from others. You must be so proud. I wonder if God and Jesus feel the same. (Wednesday Nov 4 | post #25)

Time To Boycott Maine Lobster- After All, God Says Consuming It...
Yet you are happy when you pass laws making it a right exclusive to you. Odd that you are so happy supporting religious persecution. Will you be that glad if YOUR church was told it had no legal standing in the law? Many churches and other religious institutions perform same sex marriages. You have succeeded in making religious discrimination legal. (Wednesday Nov 4 | post #72)

And yet he and his forces sure ran quick as a bunny to activist judges so they could hide from the campaign finance laws by saying, "our lives, homes and businesses are being threatened". Seems our money really matters after all. Reap what you sow. Now where did I read that? Oh yeah. Now I remember. (Wednesday Nov 4 | post #71)

Editor Statement
I do not claim to be the smartest guy around. I am also not stupid. As an editor here I value any advice from more seasoned editors. I believe in equality, being honest, and polite, God, Angels, and that people can be basically nice if they want to. I distrust most politicians and rely on my own life and personal experience in deciding on issues. For those who want to use God as an excuse to do evil to a fellow human being and U.S. Citizens, I say that is disgraceful behavior and a repulsive character flaw. The words spoken by Gandhi: "An eye for an eye leaves the world blind" are very true in my view. I also like this from the I Ching: "When two people are at one in their inmost hearts, they shatter even the strength of iron or bronze; and when two people understand each other in their inmost hearts, their words are sweet and strong like the fragrance of orchids." If it matters I am gay and HIV+.
