According to the mayor, yes.
But don't you? I'm guessing you voted for the defense of marriage Oklahoma constitutional amendment that would forbid gay marriage.
Totally agree that if you find it repulsive then you do. That's totally okay with me as long as they have the freedom you do to live their lives as they see fit. Today if someone comes out as gay or transgender then they can be fired from their job or be denied housing - legally. That's just unacceptable to me.
I've asked many times this question. Why the focus on homosexual activity as opposed to lying, cheating, stealing, coveting, etc. Since we are all sinners and come short of the glory of God, then we shouldn't focus on any one sin over another. If people showed the same level of outrage for those actions as they do for homosexuality then I'd at least find them constant and not hypocrites on the seductiveness of what sins they focus on.
What if your thing is getting pegged by your wife? Is that a sin? >things that make you go hummmm?<
I find over taxation immoral. It is tantamount to theft. How is that different than putting a rainbow flag on a building? Is it something I'm personally endorsing. If you take that stance then you empower anyone who's offended by anything. You don't want that.
They are simply two things that we would disagree with the government on. That's the comparison.
I agree that there are pushy gays; just as there are pushy Christians, and Mormons, and Greeks (vs GDI), and every other subsection of society.
So what about those folks who are offended by the US flag? Should we remove it? What about statues? Should we remove them because someone is offended?
Having a military is a power given to the federal government in the Constitution. It isn't a requirement.
I don't get it. So what is my reply. I would bet that there is more lying and adultry going on in your church than homosexual behavior. Yet church going folks seem to focus on homosexuality.
I did not mean to imply that you were outraged.
I love Chickfila. It's tasty. I've never apologized for that and I never will.
I think most people would agree with this. No one wants anyone fired because of their lifestyle.
They don't have this right presently? Please tell me where it has been infringed upon.
Good lord. Who? Tell me who's apologized. This has to be the most teenage girl, alarmist, snowflake, "I'm-a-Christian-so-treat-me-special" statement ever.
Why must Christians constantly demand conformity? Actually have to SUE to keep them from making everyone sit and listen to their incantations to ghosts. Actually have to SUE them to keep them from making everyone look at their statues. They scream and dominate politics.
Christians passed a law here in Oklahoma -- turned out in droves --- to keep gay people from marrying each other. Like that would hurt a Christian somehow.
Maybe if a spirit or ghost says, "Be pushy" then it's ok.
Why do Chrisitians have to have their symbolism on everything? Cross necklaces. On churches everywhere. On the Edmond city seal. They have to put it on coins, begin legislative sessions with it....
Anyone who says it is has an ulterior agenda. That's not generally the message I get from the gay community.
Yet, you expect him to read your replies to his posts.
I can actually get on board w this train of thought to a degree. I think the main stream push is mainly aimed to lessen the persecution and harassment that homosexuals face, and in that way it’s good. There is a section of that push, and I don’t think it’s coming mainly from gay people themselves but certain media outlets and celebrities, that are taking it to the level you are talking about. Where treating them like any other citizen isn’t enough, you have to fully accept and embrace their lifestyle or you’re a bigot. I think that’s unfortunate and ultimately results in the opposite effect where people start pushing back, which you are obviously starting to see. Just stick to pushing for equal rights and opportunities.
One plaintiff does not a “gay mafia” make.
