If you don't see it, you are either blind or have your head buried so deep in the sand that you probably can't see the sunshine, either.
you need to listen to the news, did you know that native american youths have the HIGHEST rate of teen suicide in the country? The suicide rates for native American youth are 1.5 to 3 times higher than that of other ethnicities in the United States and suicide is the second leading cause of death for Indian youth between the ages of 15 and 24. yet nobody says anything about it?? nobody is doing anything, nobody is bringing it up no one is giving any national attention to this and this aint nothin new its been this way for years what i am saying is what about the other kids who have killed themselves they dont deserve any attention especially when its been a huge problem for years?????

Which is exactly why we have to put a stop to ALL bullying! There is no excuse for anyone to treat another human being as if they are 'less' - NO REASON AT ALL!

We don't give pedophiles a pass, do we? Immoral is immoral.

People get married at the city council then at the church (does that are not religious remain just with the civil union made by the state). The marriage at the church is not official!
Actually I think that just in US the marriage made by the church is recognized by state!
Before you go shooting your mouth off about something you are completely ignorant of, (or are you just pretending to be disingenuous?) I would suggest reading up on laws in the US.
One has to get a marriage license from the STATE to be married here.

Or they're afraid they will burn in Hell or anger God if they associate with gays because of their beliefs. Doesn't matter the reasoning, it ultimately leads back to fear. People hate and avoid what they fear.
but i have to disagree still might not be fear so to speak could be just plain disgust, i dont know the person who said it needs to respond to explain it

Pedophiles touch unwilling, defensless underaged children.

Further, who says it's immoral?

It's still a sexual immorality, regardless of if there is an underage victim or not.

And who says it's NOT immoral?

The only time it is immoral is if it is an underage person, end of story.
