Thats like saying anything to do w/ civil rights is minuscule. The right for blacks to marry whites, the rights of women. All of these are along the same lines as gay rights. So to say gay rights is minuscle is to also dismiss other civil rights issues of other groups.This is affecting our country. Poeple are also worried about outsourcing and everthing you mentioned or do you think we arent able to focus on more than one cause?

When was the last time did you see gays get hosed of beat at a "gay pride" rally? I have never seen it. When was the last time you saw a gay person get rejected a job solely because of his/her orientation? Hell, do most people even notice if someone is gay anymore?
In a way I can see where you make the correlation between "gay rights" and the civil rights movement and in another way, to be quite honest, I can'

Sometimes, I think the only way to get around this is let them have their civil unions, so the rest of us can move on with our lives. It's becoming a distraction from other pertinent issues.

You know, when we turn on the T.V, all you hear in today's culture is "so and so is this and so and so is that." If you were to make any judgments based on Hollywood, hell, you would think 80% of society was gay. :shk: Sometimes, I think the only way to get around this is let them have their civil unions, so the rest of us can move on with our lives.

In response to HERMAN they prob will still have paradeds after they are allowed to have the same rights. other groups still do and they have the same rights ie Puerto Rican day parade, st. patricks day parade (dont know if that counts).
Withregards to that site. Its just evi being cloaked by God's words. God said ''Love thy neighbor", 'He who is w/o sin cast the the first stone' and leave judgment up to him, and some some other verses about not having evil thoughts and such. But of course they choose to overlook that part and just interpret his words as hate. People like that PISS ME OFF . Because you are taking the religion that love and stigmitizing it. If you wanna follow God's words so closly how about you start following the one's above.

You know, its gotten to the point where I don't really know anymore. The Bible seems like one big hypocritical book. Sometimes it says to kill, then it says to love everyone, etc...its just hypocritical. Many Christians choose to just follow the good parts, but the Westboro Baptist church just follows the negative parts. So really, I don't know anymore.
