I agree the lawsuit is ridiculous but it's not like gay people don't have the right to be upset at us straight people.
And I didn't say they didn't have the right to be upset. But doing things like the marches where some definite bad behavior has been witnessed (and I wouldn't want to see straight people naked or making out either) and suing a Bible publisher is not the way to go about gaining acceptance. I'm all for gay people getting married and getting benefits for their spouses/partners. I'm not for stuff like this at all. All the frivolous litigation that is allowed to clog up our judicial system is the reason the real criminals don't get punished and it needs to be stopped. I don't care if those suing are gay, straight, purple, green, blue, or anything else. It's stupid and people don't deserve millions just because they think they do. Judges need to stop it and starting with this one would be good.

Hey bchris, can I get a copy of the agenda? I seem to have lost mine.

You can always count on chris to be one of the first posters on a 'gay thread'.

Angel looks over his "gay" agenda:

Pay Cable Bill
Send in tithe to St. John's Church
Drinks with Jackie
Pick up drycleaning

Hmmm..I don't see "stamp out christianity" anywhere on there?

BTW -- I've noticed a few comments on this thread directed towards or about "them" when this is ONE person filing the suit. I, and most of my gay friends, surely find such a lawsuit ludicrous.

Perfect example of liberals. Anti freedom, it's what liberals like this are all about.

That's pretty funny that you blame liberals for this. As I've seen it, there are quite a few conservatives that bring up absurd lawsuits as well.

You're pullin' our chains today, eh? You should probably check into the history of the Good Book. It's been a bit more than 'translated' for easier understanding.

Oh, kiddies...

I don't remember saying that wasn't true.

I'm a gay atheist Republican. I understand his frustration.
