No way in Oklahoma. Canceling the two gay parades in Oklahoma would be taken as a sign of defeat. One bill waiting to be heard would make it legal to discriminate against LGBT's for any reason.

Link to that bill?

Does it give the employer the right to fire anyone for any reason or just gay people for any reason?

Leave consenting adults alone in their sex lives. It's really none of your business unless you are invited to join.
I'm with you on this one. I don't want to know and I'll never ask what others are doing. I'm sure gay couples are a lot like my wife and I. When you hit 50 it's few and far between

I would say Oklahoma is probably the most LGBT-hostile place in this country, with Mississippi and Alabama close behind. The fundamentalist Christians here have complete control and I don't think I am being hyperbolic by saying that if it wasn't for the U.S. constitution, homosexuality would be a punishable offense in Oklahoma. How far they would go, I can't speculate. Being gay in Oklahoma City today is a lot like it was in much of the country in the 1980s. Much better than the 1950s, but there is still a lot of progress to be made. You have to be very aware of surroundings here and not disclose it to just anyone. Gay pride parades were started because of environments like this. They provided a "safe space" where people could be themselves without the fear and discrimination they face most of the time. That's how it still is here. I am not sure San Francisco or Los Angeles still need a gay pride parade, but Oklahoma City sure does.

Is it also your business if I want to go to Burger King and stick a wiener in my mouth?

That is normal? Seems pretty stupid to me. Do you wash your hair in the toilet as well?
Why should a straight person be so deeply obsessed with homosexual sex? Or are you gay?

I'm just amazed this is still an issue. God made gay people gay. I'm not going to argue with God on that. I'll just accept His wisdom on that decision. If I turned away a gay person because they were gay, He probably wouldn't be happy with my decision.

I'm seeing more and more Christians saying the same thing. In time, it will be the majority. Slowly but surely, as they say.
Agreed!

At least in m corporate world, gays are treated like a protected class and get away with saying this most woild be fired for. There's a gay dude on my floor who I swear does nothing but gossip with the girls. Calls them "*******" and is constantly telling stories about his nights out . . .of course his manager is afraid to say anyhting

Do you know all companies though? A lot of people find being gay to be unnatural like the one person in this thread.

Getting married isn't a special right; it's an equal right.

Yeah and how do we even know that they are still going to be able to get married?

They need help, not encouragement for their deviance.
Pay attention to nature. Maybe turn on the Discovery channel once in a while.

There are other ways to be intimate even when you're gay. That's not the only way.

No I don't but when you're a female, if you get constipated enough it can hit on your urethra. Also the vagina is supposed to be for sex and the urethra is just for peeing but being that the structure is so close together you're already at risk of going against the design. It's the same general area as gross as it sounds. I personally don't believe in anal sex myself because yes I would find it gross to do but that's mainly because it wouldn't feel comfortable and considering this fact, I don't see the problem with others doing it.

They demanded such recognition, not I.
I think you should be more concerned about how many men (no matter if they're gay or straight) won't wash their hands after they go to the bathroom. Also how many people don't dispose of medicine properly and it ends up in our drinking water. These are just a few things too that would be considered gross that happen with a larger group.

There is no religious belief with regard to race. And apparently there is a 1st Amendment protection for doctors because you were the one who brought it up?
