well, i guess after years of being treated as a sub-human, denied equal rights, physically assaulted and killed for being born who we are, I guess we've decided we've had enough. Thats what happens when you suppress a group of people and deny them their equal rights. Reap what you sow.

So we should expect this behavior towards all aspects of society now? Why then are they seemingly always targeting christians? If it's just the result of decades of 'oppression', why single out one group?

Reap what who sows? Politicians, society in general? Who???

Let me see these guys target a mosque, and then I'll believe your post above has merit.

What really drives me crazy in all of this is how the Christians are being singled out in this nonsense. Even goofier is how the only churches being singled out are predominantly white.

I am not Christian and I am about as white as Barack Obama.

Does anyone realize that none of the Major Religions on earth accept the concept of homosexual behavior, especially Islam possibly the largest and fastest growing religion in the world. Some faiths are more tolerant, meaning less or no discrimination towards the activity but none accept the behavior. Its more or less seen as a taboo fetish by every major religion.

Even if for whatever reason gay marriage is accepted here, within 50 years at the current rate many places around the world may overwhelmingly be Muslim with Sharia Law. So as the United States is recognizing people with various sexual festishes as distinct minorities legally entitled to mass social acceptance, Europe by this time will probably be in the process of instituting Sharia law.

What an interesting world that will be in 50 years, I figure by that time pedophilia, incest, bestiality, sadomasochism, coprophilia, and exhibitionism will each constitute a legally "protected" minority. I absolutely guarantee that Technosexuals, people that really really like robots, will be a legal minority by that time. I would not doubt that we have this same silly marriage issue pop up then too, because someone wants to marry his Cherry 3000.

Overall my point is this, this age of tolerance in the West is like a burning candle. Eventually it is going to burn out and the experiment will end. Things will go back as they once were as the masses fundamentally seek the solace of faith, especially as resources dwindle, the environment changes, and the desperate turn to violence. America may find itself being very lonely and surrounded by those who not only find our ways unacceptable but are violently, possibly genocidally intolerant of the society in America at that time.

So enjoy all of this while it lasts, have fun with the debate over the issue but try to keep things in real context, as in global and historical context. Don't single out any religion especially current Christians of a particular race or ethnicity. If anything I would be worried about the one religion and its law that is growing exponentially throughout the world, where even in modern moderate Egypt you can be arrested, convicted, and executed for being homosexual.

Have a nice day!

all i have to say to that is it'll be a cold day in hell before sharia law is introduced in this small corner of europe, and i would guess it'll be a simular story in the rest of europe.

it's a nice change to see intolerant gays and racist black people being highlighted in the US, gives me hope for humanity. at least the MSM is finally being realistic.

i see no reason why marriage should be redefined against most peoples wishes and i haven't seen a good argument why it should, perhaps the gay people in castro should take a long hard look at the reality of the world they live in and count their blessings, get their houses in order and offer a good argument rather than whining about rights when addressing denial of a privilege.

All this talk of Christians being singled out, blah blah blah. These people singled themselves out by choosing to go into a gay neighborhood to rub salt into the open wound of Prop 8. Was anyone hurt? Where’s all this violence the OP was talking about? Yeah, they ran some unwelcome people out of their neighborhood. Not the wisest of actions, but perhaps understandable under the circumstances. Hint to the anti-gay activists, and the gay activists: leave people alone and they’ll leave you alone. If you don’t attack someone, they’ll have no reason to respond.

This is just more divide and conquer folks. The PTB are pitting the races against each other, and even the sexual orientations against each other. Don’t fall for it people. Keep your attention on our true adversary, the big money PTB that seek a new feudalism.

so 1/5th of the population are going to institute sharia law over the rest of us? utter rubbish scaremongering.

we'll deal with muslims the same way we've dealt with the integration of so many nationalities and cultures into something approaching cohesion, absorb and absolve. europes taste for accommodating extremists is quite sated at this stage, thanks.

okay, i'm done, back on topic.

Yah,the shariah law thing would still be over ruled by British law,it was just giving them so leeway like jewish folks in Britain.Anyway yes,if this recent law was *black people* couldnt get married or the like,would the same people be hailing it as a sign of democracy or would you see how this anger has justification.I dont agree with violence,but you have to see where these people are coming from.

"born who you are" - hey, when you find that "gay gene" I'll personally nominate you for the Nobel Peace Prize in Genetics (if there is one). What a riot.

"deny them equal rights" - ???

Since when was choosing what gender you want to boink late at night a "civil rights" issue worthy of legal intervention?? This has always puzzled me. Please explain

what a funny bunch!! I'm sure the next vid they will be weilding knives and shouting "get off our turf Jets" (west-side story)

Were you born straight? How did you come to the conclusion the female sex was to your desire and not the male sex?or was it automatic and biological? and yes there is alot of evidence slowly coming together to show the differences between straight and gay brains.

Maybe these Christians when they go courting danger in the 'gay areas?' take this piece of advice with you when you go.

Take some feather dusters with you, that way if the Gay mob start to advance say to them " heres a duster, go clean something."

I thought that the Gays were supposed to be tolerant , obviously I've got it wrong. It's now like if your white and you go to a black district , or black go to a white district, islamic and you go to a christian country.
Theres too much antagonism these days .
Don't rub your beliefs, choices, religeon in someone elses face, you'll only pee them off and make them hate you more.
SO
to the Christians - DONT go to the gay area and preach about gays being immoral / sinful.

Gays - DONT crash church meetings to 'protest' about being gay .

Islamics - DONT go to a Christian country / area and say we hate you because your not Islamic.

Politicians - take note, not everyone has the same ideas as you either.

Old folk - dont hate the young because they life in the now time and have a lot of energy

Young folk - dont hate the old folk because they lived in they're 'now time' but be appreciative of the experience they can give you

Notice to all - - GET OVER YOURSELVES , learn to love each other instead of perpetuating hate in whatever form simply because the person your directing it at is different to you in some way wether it's beliefs' sexual orientation, political persuasion or simply because they dress differently.

The fanatical Christians vs. the fanaical gays! Sounds like the next movie of the week. Come on people. These folks should be held accountable for their actions without the entire Christian and gay communities being blamed for the actions of a few.

The praying Christians could have held their vigil in their church. By going out into the community, they were inviting trouble. Two wrongs don't make a right, but I can sympathise with the gays. How would these Christians feel if the gays held a Gay Pride parade in their neighborhood.

Jesus said to do unto others as you would have others do unto you.
