OOOOOoooooo I will dye my long, gray hair lavender.. It will have plenty of time to fade before Halloween.

We need sparklers, and fireworks, too.

Defending their Christian faith? Really?

Bigotry and hatred are not part of the Christian faith. They are just being mean.

It is exactly the opposite, the evangelicals are terrified of US because people are finally realizing that living under tyranny and FEAR is no way to live when God is all about LOVE and FORGIVENESS.

Keeping count of our sins all the while praying that repentance will be enough to avoid a hell that God has nothing to do with..We have and are showing the world that Heaven is NOT an exclusive club that is more difficult to access than a winning lottery ticket.

Remember, Jesus is pulling all the people over the wall that Peter has turned away..

I'm sorry...as an Evanglical, I'm not terrified of you. You have not demonstrated love and forgiveness. You're side is the one shouting down anyone that is religious, and calling them bigots.

I'm not sure you really understand what "tolerance" is.

I tolerate your Fundamentalist lifestyle.

I think you should be able to marry another consenting adult.
I do not want you fired, or harmed in any way.
I want you to have children, and adopt children.

I do not even know your sexuality either. It is unimportant.

Not very well, apparently. You sure seem to post a lot of insulting things about us.

Why is your opinion any more important that what anyone else thinks, or more important than thousands of years of human history? Or even 200+ years of American History?

You're right. It is irrelevant. So why is your side making it an issue?

lol the gays seem to have "flamed" her with questionably raised monetary donations. Good thing they didn't "blow up" her abortion clinic or tax collector's office with monetary support. Instead of hiding she should work to legally prosecute and educate the imbeciles who might be threatening her for her "horrendous" two-faced hypocrisy.

I like the way you talk, couldn't really understand it all but I like how the words are placed, a regular poet.

That's a little cold. If you are not willing to support people like her in any way shape or form, then what kind of church family are you a member of? Church is supposed to be like family, not a place where people tell each other to "deal with their own problems". Why do you go to church?

I have been a life long advocate for Civil Rights in this country. You wish to discriminate? I will engage. You do not think the LGBT community should get married. I will engage. It is that simple.

We have evolved. Or ,some of us have evolved. We used to believe owning another person was dandy. We used to think women should not own property or vote, and black men had to jump through hoops to vote.
I remember black men, and women being killed, because they wanted a seat at the table. Black children were denied a good education with their peers.

I was pretty insulting to the opposition, their racism and bigotry, too. I make no apologies for my behavior, and own every word I say. Fundamentalist ideologues hide behind the words of others to justify their behavior. God likes my way better. Much better.

Move over. The LGBT community is taking a place at the table. They will marry and have children as they see fit. They will not be fired for being LGBT. The ideologues are losing their power, and ability to marginalize, and disenfranchise other members of the community.

I am delighted to be a witness to history.
