Just as a church is within it's rights to post anti-gay propeganda (read as lies), the gays are well within their rights to "harrasse" (read as picket) churches.
and I believe people, read churches should be able to shoot people on their property!

While I am not comfortable with a (tongue down throat) public kiss by any sex.....the bottom line is: Who cares: Don't like it; Don't look....Case Closed!!!!

Agreed. It's also probably also an unconstitutional law to boot. I hope they take this to the courts, because I think they have a very strong case based on what little facts I have.

No one is permitted to picket on private property without the property owners express permission.

Do youself, and everyone else, a favor and do a bit of basic research before commenting.

Thanks.

You can urinate all you want. You can even wear drag in Texas. Just don't wear a dress while urinating on the Alamo.

"While on tour in the US in the early 1980s, Black Sabbath's frontman Ozzy Osbourne found himself with a full bladder and nowhere near a lavatory. Relieving himself against a nearby building, he was arrested by an irate cop, who told him he had been urinating on The Alamo, the icon of Texan independence. "Son, when you p**s on The Alamo, you p**s on the state of Texas," he was apparently told.

The two obviously chose the location of their kiss so as to offend as many Mormons as possible. They succeeded, but they were on private property when they did so.

Biologically, they are in their prime between 15 and about 20 for reproduction. They are also at their most eager. Yet, our culture is structured in such a way that we tell them to stop. We then create reproductive health problems by forcing people to wait later and later simply because they are expected to raise the children they bear in our society.

It's pretty stupid when you think about it.
Next time you're in the Detriot area, I'll take you on a tour of the inner city and show you the 20 yr old welfare moms with three kids, another on the way and four daddies who aint around.

They were on private church property,were told to get their asses off the property and did not, what's the problem!

If they know they were on the property prior to their display of man love then I believe they were trying to start some trouble.

If they did not know where they were and church security told them and asked them to move along and they refused, again they were trying to start trouble.

Ah yes, if gays don't get equality, it's their own fault because they misbehaved, huh? Tell me: What mistakes has the "straight community" made that have led to gays being able to dictate which rights heterosexuals are able to have or not have?

Your mindset seems to be: You gays better behave the way I want you to behave or else I'll vote to take away your rights.

And so, once again, we have someone who believes that straight people deserve special rights because they were born heterosexual. If you're heterosexual, it's okay to kiss in public and it's seen as natural and good; if you're homosexual and you kiss in public, you're labeled deviant, disgusting, and you deserve to be condemned.

Quote:
A kiss-in is very minor compared their anual gay parades that always involve guys in g-strings shaking it and frolicking for the whole world. It is widely understood that men in their undies generally do NOT look good. Changing their sexual orientation does not change their attractiveness.
I think a lot of people would disagree with you on that.

Quote:
Why can' t the gay community bring attention to their cause by doing something good for the world? They can do fundraisers for cancer research or feed the hungry or something besides trying to shock people. They might find more acceptance that way.
The ignorance in your statement is incredible. Do you realize how much money gay organizations have raised for HIV research? A lot more than "straight" organizations - I can tell you that.

Your homophobia is almost palpable. It sounds like you see gays in a negative light, no matter what they do.
