so laws against a rape should be illegal because it discriminates against men?

Since when does anyone have "special rights?" For the millionth time, ANYONE can be victim of a hate crime, and there are no special provisions for minorities/gays. Where did you get the idea this was true?

And don't tell me "they're the ones who always claim hate crimes," because that still doesn't change the fact that hate crime legislation & anti-discrimination laws apply to every single human being in the US. And if they are charging people with hate crimes more often, that's only because such incidents occur more commonly. When was the last time you heard of somebody being attacked for their heterosexuality?

I have every right to fire the law or no law. I don't think the gay movement will want the negative publicity they will get from that case.

because when they're done everyone will know that they are bigots of the worst order.
Actually you have it all backwards...The gay movement is simply DEFENDING itself against bigots such as yourself.

By the way, you have claimed that you have never had a gay employee. How do you know that, because if you have had 10 employees or more chances are you are wrong about that...Judging from your posts any of your workers that happened to be gay would have to be insane to admit it to you.

Yeah, we went backwards there. Oops.

Yup. And they're going against you now. A trend that I predict will continue. And will, once it's all said and done, never reverse.

My pastor simply stated at the end of his sermon (which WAS NOT about gay marriage) that while President Obama is entitled to his opinion and beliefs, and rightly so, he (my pastor) also has his right to disagree with the President on this issue. He also said that you can't re-define what has already been defined.

His sermon, while NOT about gay marriage, did touch on several points on how there has been "a massive turning away from God" by so many and how there are so many people who want to suit their own passions rather than hear and adhere to sound doctrine.

First we would need to see some logic.

Interesting how the anti-gay camp always seems to forget that there are female homosexuals, too.

Things that make you go hmmm.
