I don't need or want to know your business. In my hood I see groups of
lesbians and gay men taking walks in good weather. They are free to do what they
want - BUT they are not free to reform all of society...The are free to be
themselves...just as I am free to be me. Politics - religion and
sexuality should never be mixed. When some extremists insist on posting
pictures of gay man in schools having oral sex....then you will get a quiet back
lash....People will not openly challenge gay activists but they will privately
loath them for the intrusion.
Oh, how magnanimous of you! They're allowed to go out for a walk, but not get married.

Isn't Leviticus out of the Old Testament? So Leviticus is just a bunch of
old Jewish history? Those who don't appreciate gay marriage are not all bible
thumping twits...some just don't like the idea of men and woman suddenly
switching identities. Why suddenly to people have to be told that up is down
and down is up...that man are now woman and woman are now men....I liked it
better the old way...When people had roles based on biology not sociology.
Oh, boo hoo! You don't like it. Suck it up, buttercup. It's not up to you.

Reported it? For what? I see two attractive human beings showing affection towards one another.
I'm sorry it made you clutch your pearls and collapse on the fainting couch like a distressed southern belle in need of smelling salts.

Why do they call these things progress? You would think that progress means something good for all of society....I mean all of society not just a small portion.
Couple of points:

- I am not gay but can tell when a woman or a man takes care of themselves. Yea, I guess you can over due a good thing and become so involved with going to the gym and so full of yourself it becomes unhealthy. The point is I think most people who complain about people who take pride in their fitness are the people who are unfit and therefore jealous.

-What backlash? See I just don't get this. Why does allowing these people to get equal treatment and rights from the government make you people so mad?

How lovely that you condone violence against others though. It speaks so highly of your character.
You'd be surprised on these threads.

It was a breath of fresh air to me. Both the pictures. If statements could be as visual as pictures I'd view this thread as more vulgar.


It's the land of the free not the home of the uptight.



It's only a matter of time.

If you want me to accept your make believe rights, perhaps you should start by respecting other citizen's genuine rights.


This past Sunday, during a Worship Service at the Church, a group of loud and intentionally disruptive homosexual activists stood outside of the sanctuary of Mount Hope dressed in strange pink attire. Using megaphones for amplification, they shouted epithets at those entering the service such as “Jesus is a homoâ€.They also mockingly carried an upside down pink cross.

Reports filed with the Eaton County Sheriff’s office indicate that other demonstrators had staged a further action intended to disrupt the Sunday Worship at Mount Hope. Dressed in clothing which would not have indicated their intention, they entered into the sanctuary and were seated with the community. Then, in an orchestrated manner, they left their seats, pulled fire alarms, distributed anti-Christian literature and stormed the Pastor’s pulpit waving a rainbow colored flag and shouting “It’s Okay To Be Gay! Bash Backâ€.

You mean like Westboro Baptist Church?

In case you haven't realized this yet, nature gave men penises and women vaginas so men and women could copulate with one another and even create children together.

Homosexual men don't have vaginas and homosexual women don't have penises.

That's why gay men use their anus for a vagina, but it is not the same thing.

It's a poop shoot and should never be used for anything else.

Gay women use plastic penises produced by the Yamaha Corporation.

These plastic penises are also not the same as the real thing.

Is it starting to sink in yet?
Homosexuality is no more perverted than heterosexuality. If you think straight couples do not have anal sex or use dildos then you are mistaken. In the end this is not about sex it is about love and companionship, is it starting to sink in yet?

So, we should look to the Republic of Georgia for our social mores? Should we also look to Afghanistan for a lesson in religious tolerance?

Yep. Another Big Government, nanny-state neocon.

That is one of the main "reasons" many people use to oppose same sex marriage. But of course, the fact is there is not one single reason to oppose same sex marriage that doesn't arise from fear, hate, bigotry, ignorance, or some combination of those things. Not a single one.

What a bunch of baseless, paranoiac nonsense. Homosexuality has always been with us. Why would ceasing discriminating against gay couples and affording them the same rights as everyone else suddenly cause the downfall of civilization?

Agreed. You should probably mind your own, then, right?

Just more baseless crapola. So your assertion is that homosexuals "suddenly switch identities?" Do you realize homosexuality is nothing new? Do you realize it isn't a choice but biological?

As mentioned above, the only reasons to get mad over the issue are based in fear, hate, ignorance, bigotry or some combination of those things. I have been stating this fact for years in discussions/arguments like this and never ONCE has anyone even really attempted to give a "reason" to be against same sex marriage that is based on anything else.

Other than being a buzz word used when liberals are stuck for a reply, what does Westborough have to do with anything I posted?
