I find it cute that you think you can actually intimidate me, such brave words from such a little man. You should be careful because you really don't know who you are dealing with now do you? I'm at Ft Riley/Junction City at least once a week, what's your pleasure?  (29 min ago | post #75)

IF BEING GAY IS SO RIGHT, WHY DO GAY PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO BROADCAST IT???

Damn, you lie even about going away. You can't even be honest about not annoying us any further, but given your track record, should we expect anything more? Go live your life in your willful ignorance and with your choice to be a flaming bigot, I can take comfort in the reality that in Canada, one of these days you're going to pipe up in hatred where someone can hear you and you will run afoul of those rather strict anti-discrimination/hate speech laws you all have up there. Good-bye gain, please don't come back...  (1 hr ago | post #10802)

You do realize that you and your fellow imaginary friends in Newville aren't really all that good at convincing anyone to believe as you do, don't you? Your semi-coherent ramblings, calling out Bible verses as if you were conducting the bingo game in the basement, name calling and childish repetitiveness only tell us that the only "god" you know is not worth believing in let alone worthy of our worship. All you've shown in your multitude of posts is that you are a gibbering idiot without a clue.  (1 hr ago | post #886)

Florida gay couple allowed to adopt

The Attorney General is going try to do the legal equivalent of an end run around the precedent set in this case by appealling the findings of another case that also overturned the statute. I haven't been able to find the decision in the Miami case mentioned in the article, but I have found the decision here and whatever the findings were by that judge would have to be a heck of a lot easier to argue against than Judge Audlin's ruling. He invalidated the ban on two rather interesting grounds that had not been used in the Lofton challenge. The first is that the ban is an unlawful bill of attainder (punishment by legislative act), the extensive historical record of the measure's enactment that was admitted into evidence clearly showed that there was no consideration of what would be in the best interest of children going into this, merely an attempt to act punitatively against gay people. The second invalidation was that the statute is in violation of the separation of powers, the legislature improperly intruding on the role of the judiciary in its role of determining what is in the best interest of an adoptive child. This decision makes some pretty powerful reading for those of you into reading court rulings: http://lawprofesso rs.typepad.com/fam ily_law/files/doe_ adoption.pdf  (1 hr ago | post #6)

The preceding post was plagiarized directly from the website of the anti-gay hate group, the Family Research Council. http://www.frc.org /get.cfm?i=IF04G01 The actual conclusion of this study, which can be read in its entirety at: http://www.soc.ias tate.edu/soc522a/P DF%20readings/Stac ey.pdf Both the findings and nofindings discussed above may be influenced by the measures of sexual orientation employed. All of the studies measure sexual orientation as a dichotomy rather than a continuum. We have no data on children whose parents identify their sexual orientation neatly as one of two dichotomus choices, and we can only speculate about how a more nuanced conceptualization might alter the findings reported... As can be expected, the good folks at the FRC are more than willing to cherry pick the facrts in an effort to spin the findings in their direction...  (9 hrs ago | post #7)

Florida gay couple allowed to adopt

What is particularly interesting about this story is that the adoption will be permitted to stand as the state has no intentions of appealling the findings of the judge in this case, however they are appealling another ruling that has invalidated the adoption ban in Florida as being unconstitutional. Something tells me that the state would lose badly if they tried to defend the bigotry of the law based on what is on the record in this case, but the AG believes that they can somehow defend against what was found in Miami...Hypocrisy in action, gotta love it.  (10 hrs ago | post #1)

Mobilizing against gay marriage

I really don't mind breaking this to you, but it is you who are wrong, again. That freedom of religion that you hold so dear also equates to a freedom from religion. Atheists do have the right to sue on the basis of religious discrimination and over the years have been rather successful at it. What you refuse to acknowledge in all the examples provided to you is that people of faith who have been granted permission to sign off on marriage licenses and the places of worship where they perform such ceremonies are protected by their freedom of religion from all manner of intrusions into their religious beliefs. Catholic Priests and churches cannot be sued for denying someone who is divorced from marrying just as any Priest, Reverend, etc. and their places of worship cannot be sued by atheists, same-sex couples or anyone else who is excluded by religious doctrine from being married there or by the officiant. All you would need to do is site even one successful lawsuit in this area to prove your point, but despite all of your protestations that there are going to be lawsuits, there are going to be lawsuits, you haven't given us one  (11 hrs ago | post #310)

Trial opens against minister over same-sex marriage

What lie would that be Wil? Does it really matter? There are Christian denominations that support and bless same sex marriages, I attended my first more than twenty-five years ago and they are still happily married in the eyes of God. The original texts of the the books of what is now the Bible places those alleged "condemnation s" into serious question. I've presented you with repeated postings of the works of prominent and highly credentialed theologians and biblical scholars that have refuted your choice to torture scripture in an effort to get it to agree with what you say it says without any attempt at refutation by you.

Gay group sues Tennessee police department | 365 Gay News

In order to properly bash trolls, an honest to goodness troll needs to make themself available for the bashing. While I may vehemently disagree with "fuzi's" points of view, those views do not rise to the level of irrationality, ignorance and intolerance required to qualify for troll status. But now that you've piped in however, there is now a troll in the room that needs to be put in his place. Thanks for demonstrating the hazards of your mommy and daddy permitting you unsupervised internet access and how proud they should be of their other parenting skills in allowing you to become an irrational, rabid little monster too cowardly to express his sickness in real life, but all too brave when hiding behind the anonymity of the internet...  (11 hrs ago | post #55)

Canadian Independent Federal Candidate - "Kill Gays"

Although I'm not a big fan of these kinds of hate speech laws, this is a case where if there going too be used they should be used to their fullest extent. This bozo just got his biggest headline he has in the last 5 years of his attempts to run for office, the only other story I found on him was when I posted another version this story last week, was where he was convicted of assaulting his own mother back in '03. Mr Popescu is the ultimate in fringe candidates, the last two times he ran for office, he finished dead last and has yet to manage even 1% of the vote, I really doubt statements like this are only going to make him any more popular than he already isn't....  (11 hrs ago | post #10)
