that article you posted up was very pleasant to read and really brought tears to my eyes...
being able to marry in certain states and have it recognized...
a victory to us.
as i read the post written by some of my sorors and bruhs and greekfriends...i sense some type of personal vendetta.
why is this so serious to certain individuals???
Going to jail: read up on the stonewall riots
Being denied jobs: every single day...ever heard the phrase too butch looking or that dude sounds gay?
Being killed: Matthew Sheppard/Allen Schindler/Barry Winchell/Shaika Gunn (all these people were killed because they were gay and out, the latter killed because she rejected a man's advances)
i can go on..
i would never compare the struggle of being gay to the struggle of growing up african american, black ,negro, jewish, irish, or any other group of people, but it is a struggle in it's own right..
i can't not change my skin color and i refuse to change my sexual orientation because someone throw a few quotes out of the bible and all of a sudden i am banished to external damnation.
the idea of comparing my lifestyle to that of beastality and pedophilia is so ludicris (sp), it is sickening to hear.

MaMa, you know that you are one of my favorite people and your sexual orientation means nothing to me as far as whether I like you. However, I feel that in Gays attempts to mainstream their lifestyle/sexual activity, they want to FORCE people to accept it, whether they have legitimate reasons for not "liking" it. People do not want to be bullied into accepting things they they have reservations about. I have STATED that GAYS should be treated equally under the law. Civil Unions should suffice constitutionally as far as equal protection. I'm for that. Marriage is an institution set up by God. That is His domain, not the Constitution's, so therefore, what Gays have should not be termed "marriage". There is no "hate" in that thought, nor a vendetta.
P.S. don't hate me for this, but whether you find the comparisons ludicrous or sickening, it is the Judeo/Christian/Muslim God who has made that determination in the Book of Leviticus. I like you and I want you to like me, but I can't lie about God's Word just so I can appear "nice".
I love you though. It's only a disagreement of opinion and we can kick it any time cause you are good people.
