Whoa, wait, wow, what's going on? Where did all this come from? *confused* I feel like I missed something pretty major here, haha...
It's okay. Just rage fest.

I would think otherwise.You think I was harassing you? Sure, the tone may have been rude, but I wasn't harassing you. I was stating the facts. Now I am going to harass you a bit. Do you think that you have the right to talk to us about ignorance? After all the scorn and hate we've been through? Do you really think we are the only ones at fault? Because it seems like that's the way you think. Before you butt your head in on the matter of how ALL gay people are ignorant, you should brush up on your history and maybe watch or read the news.
No way. When something so horribly wrong is happening, the worst possible thing you can do is ignore it. If you ignore it, it will continue to happen. What we should be doing (and have been) is shedding as much light on just how evil it is. Keep it fully out in the open, talk about it as much as possible, and make sure people understand just how wrong it is and why.This is what I am talking about.
Who cares about that? Who needs to know? The important thing is to understand that those people are wrong, and those people are to be ignored.
I would think otherwise.
What have I been saying? I feel like I have been disrespected for trying to respect you. I say that I try to understand all of you. My expectations were not met, and they were simple. Mutual understanding. It seems like you want none of that, and thus I will have none of your "equality" bs if that's how we're rolling.
I have the right to talk about ignorance.
Just because of Hitler, do Germans not have the right to speak out against genocide?
Just because of John Wayne Gacy, do Iowans not have the right to speak out against murders?
No. They do have the right, the same rights as everyone else.
And just because of the Westboro Baptist Church and such, do Christians not have the right to speak out against ignorance?
And did I say all you gay people are bigots? And did I say that all gay people are ignorant? I didn't. I only said that, in my experience, I have seen many people, mostly gay people, reject my attempts to explain to them that Christians are not allowed to discriminate.
No. I simply said that whenever I have tried in the past. Maybe there will be one or more in the future that do accept my views, and I am sure that there is one. Maybe you can become the first one. Maybe it's somebody else. But I am sure there is at least one. Your hate on me is Sodom and Gomorrah, and there will be somebody (or multiple somebodies) that is Lot and his family.
I am beginning to think you are simply trying to find excuses to take out your prejudice on Christians. Read through and think it through. Maybe you are the prejudiced one. Maybe you discriminate against people. But maybe you aren't. But keep in mind, you could be. Never forget that possibility.
All human beings are capable of prejudice. Just because you are gay doesn't exempt you from that rule. In fact, because you're fighting for your equality at this moment, you are more subscribed to this rule than the average person.
But if we were to ignore the prejudiced Congressmen, that is what will help us correct this.No way. When something so horribly wrong is happening, the worst possible thing you can do is ignore it. If you ignore it, it will continue to happen. What we should be doing (and have been) is shedding as much light on just how evil it is. Keep it fully out in the open, talk about it as much as possible, and make sure people understand just how wrong it is and why.
Had we just ignored injustices like that we'd still have slavery, and women wouldn't be able to vote, and Gays wouldn't be able to marry. (Well, still working on that last one.)
Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough, and I apologize.I am going to commit myself to this being the last post I ever reply to you to. Did I ever say that we were exempt from prejudice? I know very well that everyone is prejudice. I know I am prejudice. Did you not read the part where I said I have zero respect for the bible?
The problem I have is that you expect us to drop our prejudice about religion. It's not going to happen for a very, very long time. Centuries of hate and scorn doesn't go away so easily. It doesn't go away with a push of a button. SO STOP ASSUMING IT IS.
I've also heard that prop 8 was dismissed due to lack of foundation. Not sure if that's true, but that's what I've been reading about on the internet.
droomph said:I'm sorry. But is this a gay people thing, to hate on religious people blindly? Because if that's how it is, I then revoke my support of gay marriage. If you won't treat everyone with equality, then you don't deserve equality.
But tell me, is this a gay people thing to hate on religion? That's ironic, how you guys would accuse others of doing something but doing the same thing to the people you accuse.bye.

This is just frustrating, the amount of "blah blah blah I can't hear you" I'm getting.
But couldn't I be treated as the beginning of a new trend? A new beginning.I'd like to believe that a good portion of this can be attributed to the deep hatred a lot of religious people have for anyone who doesn't abide by their Gods "rules".
One hatred can cause an innocent person so much pain and suffering. As a result a new hatred is born.
We were already getting along in here, until you came in and started asking if it was "a gay people thing to hate on religion".Let's try treat each other like we get along, and discuss where we don't get along in a manner in which we try to understand why we don't get along. This has nothing to do with ideologies, or religion, but rather because I want a better world and this is where I want to start.
Secretary of Defense Statement:
"The Department of Defense welcomes the Supreme Court's decision today on the Defense of Marriage Act. The Department will immediately begin the process of implementing the Supreme Court's decision in consultation with the Department of Justice and other executive branch agencies. The Department of Defense intends to make the same benefits available to all military spouses - regardless of sexual orientation - as soon as possible. That is now the law, and it is the right thing to do.
"Every person who serves our nation in uniform stepped forward with courage and commitment. All that matters is their patriotism, their willingness to serve their country and their qualifications to do so. Today's ruling helps ensure that all men and women who serve this country can be treated fairly and equally, with the full dignity and respect they so richly deserve."
I just ran into a huge Pride parade in London. I didn't realize theirs was the same weekend as the one in San Francisco. And since I fly into SF tomorrow I'm going to get to see two huge parades back to back. And people in both places have a lot to be happy about this year. I feel like we're in the middle of history right now and it's kind of exciting and humbling.
It would be interesting to compare Pride in London to SF's XD ours will look tiny in comparison!
I kind of wonder when the expiry date on Pride will be... I mean, if more equality laws get passed then many countries/states will be majority pro-gay.
Will we need Pride then?
Will we just pick one day for the year?
I suppose one advantage of Pride is that it brings in a lot of money, and awareness. Could be a great fund raiser for countries where LBGT rights are being chipped away even further.
