From Grant Park in Chicago.

Tonight, we saw two exceptional and patriotic speeches from two exceptional and patriotic men.

And, while I’m proud of the progress our country has made and I’m proud that we elected a Black President, I think that the results of some of the ballot measures across the nations — particularly those dealing with gay rights — make it painfully clear that we have not reached the dream of equal rights on which this country was founded. We still have pockets of senseless hate oozing their way into legislation. I’m hopeful in the sense that the votes in favor of Prop 8 are coming more from old people than from young people. Hurry up and die, you hateful old buffoons, so that my children can be raised in a country free of legislated hate and senseless discrimination.

   Lynn– how is homosexuality a “huge offense to God”?

   I mean… he made them. In his image, even. Why would he be mad at someone he made gay… for being gay?

   I don’t think gay marriage for our whole country will happen soon, but gay marriage is not a ” longgggggggg way off,” as you put it. THEY WERE JUST ABLE TO MARRY HERE IN CALIFORNIA. that’s what the prop was. taking AWAY that right. And what about MASS and CONNECT– gay people are allowed to marry in some states RIGHT NOW.

   And with Allan… and others…. I just cannot get behind people using the Bible as an excuse. Going to Catholic school for 12 years, I was talk that the Bible was to be of reference– like it was a book of stories, showing us morals… like it wasn’t all supposed to be 100% fact. I mean.. it talks about the creation of time… but not dinosaurs… there’s a lot of stuff. And the Bible talks about A LOT OF THINGS no one is encouraging. Like owning wives. I just feel that it’s wrong to use the Bible, but only cut out little itty bitty parts that you can twist any way you would like.

   I could bring up hundreds of times in the Bible that have to do with LOVING one another…. and not judging…. those without sin casting the first stone… Jesus being drawn to the most destitute and discriminated against people… But I just feel like people never listen. They get their one little bible quote that says one thing… and repeat it and repeat it and repeat it.

   How dare anyone claim that they know how God FEELS. You should not be playing God. I believe, personally, that we ned to be the best person we can, we means accepting others for their differences. You do not need to agree with other people’s views, but it is not your right to judge them. God is supposed to be the only judge. Would he want people passing laws against the civil rights of some of his children? Do you really think so? You do not need to fight in God’s name. He does not want us to fight.

   That’s at least what I took away from my religious upbringing.

   sigh…… prop 8

   Just because something feels good does not mean it is right. If god intended for gay marriage why is it that only a woman can give birth? A man should be able to give birth too right? The bible is true how else would you explain, me before I accepted JESUS I was having an affair and did not care much about who I hurt in the process. After I let him in my heart and became a christian at 27 years old I stopped cheating and turn my life around. Everybody is not going to believe in God but who created this universe, definitely not evolution!!! God loves gays like he loves everybodyelse but he hates their lifestyle, because he is holy and he says in his word that lifestyle is an abomination to him.

   In romans:3 verse 23: says For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of god. Bottom line if you don’t accept JESUS as your personal saviour WHETHER GAY OR STRAIGHT YOU ARE LOST! GOD made everyone that they should know right from wrong! When you are gay you no deep inside it is wrong. Just like when you are a prostitute u no the difference. God loves you . Do you want to test and see if he is real. Just call out the name jesus and pray and let him reveal himself to you. Are watch CBN on channel 49

   I think people need light and truth to guide them.You know the world of today is facing a great problem; What people, great nations, big organization call “human right”. I think there is something behing this with devil’s purpose wich has never changed: destoying and kill the people of God. John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.

   This is last days it is the end when people confuse what is true and what what is wrong according to what God has said
