Which, btw, if you can get past her songs "devoted to banging" you might enjoy. You might have some space on your IPod next to your collection of Irving Berlin standards and "Best of the Swinging 40s" soundtrack to give it a try.
no room for wanna bees on my radio. I listen to real music, good music. I also don't have a product produced by chinese slavery to store my music on.

Black vs White is a civil liberties issue with no religion involved.
But LGBT vs straight is not only a civil liberties issue but a religious one as well.

Very sticky issue here but not something new.
History can attest that people were killed for sticking with their religious beliefs over the government created laws.

Uh, wrong. Black vs. White very much had religion involved.

Yes we know that. Government laws trump religious beliefs.
In the past people were put to death for following their religious beliefs over government mandates.
We're a lot more civilized now and just sue them and throw them in jail rather than feeding them to the lions.

I find it odd that you pull the religious discrimination card, but seem to have no issue with religious conservatives discriminating against minorities.

It's a two way street and has been for thousands of years.

You have the same issue going on with regards to abortion and contraceptives.
Religion vs government

Loving v. Virginia

The Trial judge said:

Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red, and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not intend for the races to mix.


There are numerous Biblical verses about God separating the races, forbidding foreigners/other races/cultures to mix, and heavy endorsement of slavery of foreigners.


And for the record, the original scripture says nothing about LGBT people. You should stop relying on butchered Conservative English translations.

Yeah, I'm sure your life is just devoid of anything made in China.

Shouldn't you be on your way to the Wal-Mart to pick up some real 'murican made stuff.

just because you listen to something called "pink" don't hate on me. I tend to like good stuff, that's all I'm sayin. given your stance on race though, I would assume you wouldn't like much of the music I like. my life is devoid of chinese products whenever it can be. I was sure that my sunglasses were made in italy, shoes in the US, and my mountain bike was also made in the US. I also go to walmart probably twice a year, and that's when I have no other choice. typically when traveling, and I get in late. you should try a farmer's market.
