Well, then maybe they're ignorant about sexuality in general. That's different from simply using the word "lifestyle".

The churches are LOVING this theme. Gets the pastors to PREACH the word of God! Preach hate and scare people into not committing sins, or they will end up in HELL. You don't want to end up in hell, right? Don't worry, we will keep you on track...and you can't loose your faith! So all the preaching translates into full churches with a bunch of people looking for guidance from pastors preaching hate. But it makes for juicy controversial subject themes, which in reality keeps everyone entertained. All that talk about sex, sins and hell, pretty exciting, huh? It's better than any reality show on TV! Full churches equals $.
You've never been in church, have you?

GET IT?

That's the problem with states allowing ignorant people to vote on other citizen's rights. Voters do not have any credentials, professional training, degrees, expertise in law or any medical field or in science, to determine what rights people gay people should have. I can't believe that our country allows this.

I can bet you the majority of those same voters don't even know American History all that well.

Rights should be determine by the courts...period.
Gays brought the fight to the American people.

They should have been sure to have the overwhelming support that you claim they do.

So, how many lefties would pay for the therapy?

I think they would abort.

I'll never forget the extremely leftist liberal Cher's reaction when she was informed that her little girl was gay.

Of course, people love their children no matter what, but it is a disappointment to most when they first hear of it.

How much would the therapy cost? If it were a few hundred or few thousand dollars, I'm very sure most people would rather pay the money (if they choose to do it at all) than to abort their baby.

Of course they have brought the fight to the American people.....that is how you bring about change.

Where would blacks be today if they had just quietly sat in the back of the bus?

actually we're not supposed to need 'support' our marriage rights are NOBODY ELSE"S business but OURS>

and do you think GAYS brought GAY MARRIAGE BANS to the PUBLIC? are you INSANE?

not that it matters because even the very act of voting on the rights of others WHILE YOU GET TO KEEP THEM is unconstitutional.

so NC didn't ban gay marriage, they PRETENDED to since it's not legeal

Thank you for playing.
Your point being? are you actually ADMITTING that PEOPLE VIOLATE the FEDERAL CONSTITUTION?

you're admitting that many people are bigotted?

i don't get what your point is because there are many cities and areas that would vote down rights for BLACKS.. EVEN in this day and age.

It's a SHAMEFUL and ILLEGAL thing... OPENLY BRAGGING about it makes no sense.

IT also doesn't make it constitutional.

you DO REALIZE that we live in a constitutional republic

news flash. IT IS according to the Supreme court.

and unless everyone is voting on marriage for EVERYONE that AUTOMATICALLY makes such a vote unconstitutional.

also, i find it fully that straight people with NO RISK OF LOSING that right are claiming it's not a right.

let me guess it's a 'special right' because you were born straight.
