Why just gays get the rights and deny single hetereosexual these rights at the same time?
No gay is denying single heterosexuals any rights.

That is the function of school. To learn kids things.

It's not to talk about sexual deviants.
Wow, sexual deviants. Show this to your Black, lesbian friend. See what she thinks...

This is the problem. You are not following God's word, you're following what some preacher told you it means. If you want to actually educate yourself on the true meaning of the Bible's "gay clobber passages" join the thread in the Religion forum about gays. I posted a good article that explains Romans 1 quite well and why it doesn't refer to gays.

The Bible says nothing about gays Andrea. I don't know why you continue to pretend like you actually understand what it means, because it seems like you haven't actually read it or studied it.

Why should we offer you any respect when you refuse to research the issue from an unbiased perspective and admit your views may be wrong?

Funny, you are now saying what we conservatives have been saying this whole time...it is not we who have politicized the gay issue, it is liberals.
Well, that's not true here in Pennsylvania. There is a conservative group out in northwestern PA called the American Family Association of Pennsylvania that is out to overturn every local law and statute that includes gay folks in protection from employment discrimination, or equal rights to housing, health care, education, etc. It's run by this hideously bigoted woman named Diane Gramley. They seem obsessed with Gays and Lesbians.

They are to politics what the Westboro Baptist Church is to religion.

1. The Stonewall Uprising of 1969 was a result of gays and lesbians being arrested and taken to jail when a gay bar was raided because it was not paying bribes to the local police precinct.

2. EQUAL RIGHTS are not "special protections." Gay people are asking for equality and justice ... not special privileges.

Good point. It's like saying, "I think Asian people are all stupid, but I had a conversation with one the other day and didn't even mention my bigotry to him. I deserve a cookie!"

Does that mean your Bible doesn't have Leviticus 20:13 in it? Seems fairly clear to me that God doesn't tolerate that lifestyle.

Male temple prostitution? Yes you are right.

But what does that have to do with gays and lesbians?

It gets kinda boring. You all should come up with a new routine.

All I ever said on here was I don't think the schools should be teaching about sex. And look at all the names I have been called. And you all have the termerity to talk about tolerance. LOLS.
Yawn. Same, tired old rebuttal. Someone points out that your view is bigoted and now you're a victim of intolerance from people who support tolerance.

Yawn. Yawn. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnn.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. You can have all the opinions you want. No one's stopping you. No one's infringing on your rights (despite your claims to the contrary). There are no institutional barriers restricting you from equal opportunity. Many people thought blacks should remain property, but that didn't make their opinion right or those who disagreed "intolerant".
