BTW, if, god forbid, you do kill someone. You know that the consequences will be on you. I hope you are sentenced to prison for the rest of your sad life.
Really? I had Scripture posted to me and I posted Scripture in return. Don't be a drama queen.

Okay

Let me guess. With your quotation of a law from Leviticus, you are a Christian denying the transformation that Jesus brought about and that is revealed in the New Testament, right? :roll eyes: You might want to spend some time educating yourself with Galatians.

Hey, I'm not upset. But if you think that me not wanting you to murder me because I am gay makes me a "drama queen" then I don't know what to say. I don't believe in your scripture. Keep it to yourself and do not, I repeat, do not use it as justification to kill your fellow human being. That defense will not hod up in court. Maybe you won't but you help put the idea in others mind that it is okay to kill in the name of your god. Peace dude...

The ban is stupid. When I was in high school there were all sorts of stories in the yearbook. Students got spotlighted for many things, including outside of school activities like hunting, water skiing, etc that were considered a part of growing up. Parents could also pay for a page or half page dedicated to their graduating child and write notes gushing about their babies growing up.

No, it is the phobes who are obsessed. Almost all of the gay posts are initiated by those motivated by hatred, obsessed with provoking controversy surrounding gay issues, which put those of us that are more enlightened on the defense, forcing us to deter the onslaught of lies and misinformation spewed by the homophobes, meant to inflame the masses.

Did you ever consider, maybe this is because for decades gay men were forced to live their lives "under cover?" That the way gay men had to survive was living in the closet? That gay relationships were always severely discouraged, and gays had to be concerned constantly about how disclosure would affect their careers, and the possibility of being excommunicated by their families?

In contrast look at how straight men are encouraged to form relationships with women leading to marriage. Straight men often have peer pressure to get married. Look at how marriage, and weddings in general are celebrated with straight people. A stark contrast.

A marriage shall be considered valid only if the wife is a virgin. If the wife is not a virgin, she shall be executed, (Deuteronomy 22:13-21). So women who are not virgins upon marriage shall be put to death as well. Also, parents have the right to put their children to death for disobeying.

So, perhaps this scripture should be presented as justification as a ballot measure as well? Just like SSM was.

I would love to know where this information is coming from as we haven't seen a word about it in our papers or on the news. I do remember a couple of similar stories a few years ago, but not recently. That being said, I don't think a year book is the place for stories about sexuality. And I am gathering, from the title of your posting that is what this is about.
