I voted no on 8, BTW, after a lot of thought. I don’t have a problem with homosexuality and totally support gay rights. Initially, as far as rights given to married individuals, I thought sexual preference shouldn’t come into play. I subscribed to the “marriage is between a man and woman” camp.
Then I realized I was wrong. Why not? What’s the issue? Why shouldn’t gay couples be happy and get rights as married couples, and be able to say they are married?
Homosexuality isn’t a choice, but homophobia is.
It’s all about fear, and fear is about misunderstanding.
I used to think every gay guy wanted to sleep with every guy. Not true, just like straight guys don't want to sleep with every girl.
Gays being able to legally marry is not going to lead to mobs of queers running up and down the streets trying to corrupt and bugger your teenage sons. Those guys will go into the Catholic priesthood. It’s not going to lead to NAMBLA members vying for the right to marry underage children, or men in love with pigs wanting equal representation. It’s not going to lead to sex ed in kindergarten.
It MAY lead to those two guys living down the street who always look so stylish in that very nice house getting to be a little happier in their relationship.
It's not a sex thing, it's a basic rights issue. How does two guys living down the street being able to say they are married affect the straight couple up the street that don't like it, because they don't agree, or because the Bible says it's wrong?
What about dogs and cats living together? Now THAT'S unnatural, no matter how you spell it.
The Bible says "Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." (Colossians 3:13)
...And, shellfish is an abomination.
I might be taking that out of context though.
Thall shalt not covet another man's wife, or his ass.
But seriously folks, is all comes down to fear, fear of things that are different.
So, the argument that the Bible says homosexuality is a sin…
"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination." (Leviticus 18:22)
and . . .
"If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them." (Leviticus 20:13)
Hey, I'm fine for people living by the Bible, but you must do it all the way...
Don't forget...
Slaves are OK!
"Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property." (Leviticus 25:44-45)
Stop grooming!
"Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard." (Leviticus 19:27)
Hate lobster and shrimp (and shrimpers, they're toe suckers)
"But all in the seas or in the rivers that do not have fins and scales, all that move in the water or any living thing which is in the water, they are an abomination to you." (Leviticus 11:10)
Bacon sucks!
"...and the swine, though it divides the hoof, having cloven hooves, yet does not chew the cud, is unclean to you." (Leviticus 11:7)
Someone who will remain anonymous, and who is better versed in The Bible, pointed out to me “The old testament stuff (Leviticus) you're taking out of context. Jesus coming cancelled out a lot of 'rules' of the Old Testament. We don't have to, say, sacrifice animals to cleanse us of our sins-Christ's blood spilled was the ultimate ultimate sacrifice."
I’m taking these quotes out of context? The ones from the same book calling homosexuality an abomination?
Aren’t the right-wingers doing the same?
God may hate fags, but I guess Jesus loves them.
And, I think it's awesome that Jesus actually does like lobster and shrimp.
