Although there are probably some individuals who do harbor a hatred for
gays, the majority of people who oppose the homo lifestyle and 'same-sex
marriage' legislation base their opposition on grounds of morality and
decency; not hatred. To oppose a lifestyle that leads one to an early death
complicated by illness, depression, and isolation is not the same as casting
someone as evil and deserving of violent assault. This bill should be
relegated to the trash bin of history.

Bill on 'hate crimes' ignores hatred towards traditional marriage backers,
Tony Perkins says

Washington D.C., Oct 22, 2009 / 06:15 pm (CNA).- The advance of a bill that
would create penalties to punish "hate crimes" comes at a time of increasing
intolerance towards those who support the traditional definition of marriage
and reject homosexual activism, Family Research Council President Tony
Perkins noted on Wednesday, causing him to ask, "Where's the protection for
them?"

In his e-mail newsletter, Perkins urged his readers to voice opposition to
the hate crimes bill currently under consideration in the Senate, saying it
was "not an inconsequential vote."

"Expanding hate crimes puts America in lock-step with the stated agenda of
homosexual activists," he wrote, predicting that its backers will then turn
to the Employment Non-discrimination Act, the repeal of the ban on open
homosexuality in the military and the Defense of Marriage Act.

He reported that more than 100,000 people have signed a petition opposing
the hate crimes measure as a violation of the First Amendment. The measure
is attached to a military spending bill.

Perkins noted the threats and harassment supporters of traditional marriage
face.

"We get reports almost daily from donors who have given to pro-marriage
campaigns in the states and are being awakened in the middle of the night by
harassing phone calls and death threats. Where's the protection for them?
Where are those blowing the trumpet of tolerance?"

He recounted that Family Research Council Senior Vice President Tom McClusky
recently received a threatening voicemail from someone complaining about
"homophobic comments" and saying that being an "intolerant bigot" would
cause a reaction.

"You reap what you sow and when you start spreadin' hate against other
people, that's exactly what you're gonna get back. And, you know, who knows
what effect that could have on you, or your family, or your office, you
know, on G Street?" the caller continued, naming the Washington, D.C. street
on which the Family Research Council's offices are located.

"Uh, just a bit of advice for ya. You should really learn, really-stop bein'
such a redneck piece of s**t," the caller's voicemail continued, according
to Perkins.

"While Congress is busy giving preferential treatment to homosexuals, maybe
it's time to point out the kind of calls we receive from the side of
'tolerance,'" Perkins said.

From the comments for the cited article:

"Haters of Traditional Marriage." What an ignorant and untrue
statement. I am embarrassed to be Catholic these days. I
thought that church was "Pro Life and Pro Family" What
about the teens who have killed themselves because their
family and church has rejected them. Change is coming
with or without the church. This type of article will be viewed
by history as another stain on the Church.

Tony Perkins' remarks are flat wrong in every way. Catholics
have enjoyed this kind of "hate crimes" law protection SINCE
THE 60'S, and I didn't see him arguing that it was
unconstitutional before or arguing that it should be revoked.
Indeed, while he's arguing that it's unconstitutional and that
gay people must have it, I don't see him making any plans
to give up that same protection himself. I believe that's called
a "hypocrite".

I have no sympathy for bigots and judgemental christianists
who think they have the market cornered on what is good
and right in the world. Gays need the protections afforded
by hate crimes legislation, and anyone that opposes on
religious grounds is simply using their faith as justification
for hatred. These people are not "supporters of traditional
marriage" -- they're evil people with no concept of faith or
spirituality.

"catholicnewsagency", The finest lies from the dark ages!
Hate crime laws don't protect haters, no matter how much they protest
they're really not haters. The law knows better, we all know better. The
RCC and most other churches are cesspools of hate and bigotry.
Bible, bad. Sex, good.

Your failure to understand that homosexuality is part of human
behavior for the entire time of our race's time on the planet shows
that you have no idea what the word "humanitarian" actually implies.

Your constant whining about homosexuality may actually be evidence
that you are interested in homosexuality. After all, it's been
demonstrated that most homophobes are attempting to deny their own
homosexual tendencies..

J is very interested in homosexual practices and would love to be someone's
kinky bottom but since he is so repulsively ugly and has zero fashion sense,
no gay will have him so he has set out to spread lies and propaganda to make
all of them pay for not wanting to spank his bottom with a riding crop
while he is dressed in a navy uniform with assless chinos and a tattoo on
his ass that says "All Aboard". Do you realize how many nights in a row that
he has cried himself to sleep with no penis in his asshole? He volunteered
to be an altar boy and even the priest wouldn't molest him. Cry for J, he
does.

The reasonable Judeo-Christian opponents of same-sex marriage [and
that includes almost all the pastors, columists, etc. whose writings
I've read on the subject) oppose it because it is one more (and very
significant) step in the devaluation of marriage. The Judeo-Christian
ideal is clearly laid out at the end of the second chapter of Genesis,
and in the words of Jesus alluding to it.

To paraphrase what Jesus said, the erosion of Christian support for
this ideal began by reason of the hardness of people's hearts: the
Protestant reformation brought with it an acceptance of divorce; in
the 19th century some denominations allowed as to how premarital
intercourse could be moral between engaged couples who had a long wait
to get married; and then in the 1960's one denomination after another
said extramarital intercourse was acceptable as long as the two
seriously loved each other, even if there was no intention of ever
getting married.

These things were accepted by the general public (including many who
believe themselves to be Christians) long before they became tolerated
by the leaders of the various churches. All of them undermine the
marriage bond in one way or another. And now with the radical change
posed by same-sex marriage, already accepted by some denominations,
the leaders of other denominations have decided to take a firm stand
to prevent any further erosion of the meaning of marriage.

The author of "A Gay Manifesto" (the original one, not the bogus thing
that is completely unrelated to it) did oppose it, saying things like
"exclusively heterosexual sex is all fucked up," and I've never heard
of any GLBT organization repudiating it.

That's true if AND ONLY IF J has posted the kinds of bigotry that seem
to come from his personal computer. LC and I have posted seemingly
incontrovertible evidence of that, and J has never contested it.

Spartakus, you've sneered at the "and I" part when I posted a similar
statement before, but it's true: look up a post where I say, "Come on,
LC, you can do better than that!" and I proceeded to post the
strongest evidence I've ever found. LC has posted similarly strong
evidence, but he often posts much weaker evidence, perhaps to bait J
into a denial, because the really strong evidence never gets a
response from J.

No bill is law until Obama signs it. But it's a done deal: Obama
would never veto a bill like that, if past behavior is any indication.

WHINE: an inchoate concept as used on Usenet;

broadly enough to encompass the most influential

it would mean "anything that can be construed,

and hence would encompass much or all
of each of the following:
the Declaration of Independence, the Communist

in Shakespeare's _Julius Caesar_,
John the Baptist's denunciation of
Herod Antipas, and Jesus's "woe to you, scribes

Name for us any gay rights organization which is

straight people.

Massachusetts, with it's "marriage destroying" gay

The problem is coward ,that heterosexuals do not have a choice to be
homosexual, they are heterosexual. If you have a choice of being in a
homosexual relationship then you are a homosexual. So tell us pussy, when
did you choose to be heterosexual and oppress your fellow homosexuals? You
just don't get it that heterosexuals don't crave penis, they don't want a
man to penetrate their butthole, heterosexuals want women and there are no
other choices. So besides being a cowardly little bitch Osprey, you are a
cock-loving homosexual.

Osprey is a homosexual that is angry because none of them were interested in
his pimple covered butt so he takes out his anger against his fellow
homosexuals that are happy with life and would like to have equal rights. If
Osprey can't have 14 guys spray their seed all over his face then no one

Making a choice not to do something isn't anything
like the same as opposing it, you immense idiot.
Only someone looking for an excuse for his bigotry
would come up with that one.

When an opinion different than yours is expressed,
you damn near always come up with that same stale
whine. Nothing in the post you replied to
expressed a wish to oppose anyone's rights - quite
the opposite, in fact.

Your post, on the other hand, certainly expresses
a wish to oppose peoples' rights.

Your logic is rather strained. Choosing a lifestyle for your self
doesn not indicate that you are opposed to other lifestyles for
others.

It is more than a little arrogant for you to think the state has to uphold
your religious views. Whatever you may think marriage is it is also a
secular contract. People have no right to dictate to you how you wish to
look upon marriage, but you have no right to impose your purely religious
view on others.

Whatever he may or may not have said is hardly relevant to the point. The
point being that opening the civil institution of marriage to same-sex
couples does absolutely nothing to you or to your marriage.

We already have evidence that the person posting as "Peter Nyikos"
doesn't actually read the abortion newsgroups. It makes sense, then,
to note that he wouldn't dream of reading any positive writings about
same-sex marriage from pastors, columnists, etc.

> oppose it because it is one more (and very significant) step in the

Ha ha! Many of the highest profile opponents of same-sex marriage
have had multiple marriages and divorces themselves. A bit of the pot
calling the kettle black - before the kettle is taken out of the
pantry and used!

But why should secular law follow the Bible, or one interpretation of
it?

There's nothing in any same-sex marriage proposal that forces churches
to marry same-sex couples.

I'm not aware of any denomination that has ever found adultery to be
acceptable.

So your expectation here is that members of the GLBT community should
deny/demur/repudiate/condemn every offensive/inflammatory/stupid/silly
thing ever said or done by any GLBT people. This is like when racists
like Rush Limbaugh or Mike Savage demand that African-Americans *must*
*publicly* deny/demur/repudiate/condemn every offensive/inflammatory/
stupid/silly thing ever said or done by any African-American (like
"Hymietown", "black power salutes", or whatever Kayne West did at that
awards show).

At the same time, most anti-same-sex-marriage folks like you almost
never deny/demur/repudiate/condemn every offensive/inflammatory/stupid/
silly thing ever said or done by other anti-same-sex-marriage folks.

Sounds like someone knows that he proved to everyone that he is in fact a
homosexual because he talked about his "choice". Silly faggot, there is no
choice but to be who you are or to lie, you chose to lie and take out your
pain against your fellow homosexuals that happen to be brave enough to be
who they are. Cry like a bitch little man and be glad that you are too much

By whom? People claiming to be Christian, yet trampling on what

Can you name even one denomination whose leaders made such

To the extent that this hate crime bill restricts the right of
people's freedom of speech, and various other freedoms we have taken
for granted, it is an example of restriction of rights--never mind
whether we are talking straight or whatever. I have in mind
particularly future claims that this or that pastor's saying that
homosexual behavior is sin "inciting" someone to commit a hate crime.

The hate crimes bill does not restrict any speech that is protected by
the 1st Amendment. Unless you think that whatever a perpetrator says
while he is beating the shit out of a member of a class protected by
this hate crimes bill should be protected.

Some pastors say that gambling is a sin. Others say that dancing is a
sin. A few say that any sexual activity besides coitus (like oral
sex) is a sin. What's your point?

CDC Report Shows Massachusetts has Lowest Divorce Rate

A recently released study of divorce in the United States
shows that same-sex marriage has not ruined the institution
of marriage in Massachusetts as some opponents had claimed
it would back in 2004 when the state began issuing same-sex
marriage licenses following the Supreme Court decision in
the case of Goodridge vs. the Department of Public Health.

Looking at the total number of divorces in Massachusetts reveals
that the state had the lowest divorce rate in the nation for the
year 2007 according to a recent study released by the Division
of Vital Statistics at the Centers for Disease Control. In 2007,
Massachusetts had a divorce rate of 2.3 per 1000 people and a
marriage rate of 5.9 per 1000. Early reports indicate the divorce
rate has continued to fall in 2008 as well, with just 2 divorces
per 1000 people indicated in initial accounts for the year.

In fact, all five states in the U.S. that allow legalized same-sex
marriage have low divorce rates. According to the CDC, Connecticut,
Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts and Vermont all have an average divorce
rate that is nearly 20% lower than the average of the rest of the
country. The average divorce rate for the five same-sex marriage
states is just 3 per 1000 people. The average rate for all the
other states that reported data is nearly 4% (3.95%).

op⋅pose  [uh-pohz] -posed, -pos⋅ing.

–verb (used with object)
1. to act against or provide resistance to; combat.
2. to stand in the way of; hinder; obstruct.
3. to set as an opponent or adversary.
4. to be hostile or adverse to, as in opinion: to oppose a resolution in
a debate.
5. to set as an obstacle or hindrance.

You're free to hold whatever stupid, insane opinion you want. The
opposition comes when you try to use that stupid, insane opinion to
dictate the actions of other people.

Good idea. The most common definitions are to be hostile to something or to

It does mean that one is against something. I do not care for bicycle
races. I am not against them. I do not oppose them. I merely choose to
not watch or participate in them, because I find them boring. In other
words I do not oppose them.

There is no "argument" to have, Bipolar Bob. You
DO support laws that deny gay couples equality.

For some reason you also keep trying to bring god

Ah, and here we see the hypocricy.
On one hand if a person says they should keep their homosexual
behavior in their own bedroom and out of the public eye, they are
called bigots and hateful.

On the other hand, we see IAAH (Adam) telling people to keep their
beliefs in God "at home".

Ironic isn't it? Adam can call someone a bigot on one hand but on the

Or if you want him to stick his penis in your anus, go for it. Again,
I don't care. If that is what gets you satisfaction, only you have to
deal with it. You're just not going to be sucking any guys penis or
having any guy stick his penis in your anus in my back yard. That's
all. Do what you got to do Adam, I really don't care.

couples?

I might have at one time, but that doesn't mean I changed my position.
I don't care if they change the laws Adam. I'm satisfied with my own
life.
It's a shame you can't be satisfied with yours. I have no objection
to them passing the laws to support SSM.
It's not an issue for me.

You claimed that not hiring such companies as

not? You opposed the Franken Amendment.
The reward for a successful bid is the contract,
and you certainly believe in hiring companies that
require mandatory arbitration.
