I haven't been sufficiently celebrating diversity.
I think one of the many, many issues with homosexuality is that it is completely divorced from the purpose of sex for the conception of children.
And logically, homosexuality just doesn’t comport with society’s custom of separating the sexes in private areas, to avoid the discomfort of having someone who is potentially sexually interested in you sharing close quarters. That’s why allowing openly gay people in the military is not the same as racial desegregation. Facilities are still “segregated” by sex - restrooms, locker rooms, barracks, etc. - which is fine with me. The same logic that would allow openly gay people in the military would also support fully co-ed facilities.
The same argument holds true for same-sex marriage, and the erroneous comparison to interracial marriage. Racial segregation is illegal; single-sex facilities are not.
News flash: men and women are different. I don’t care about people’s private lives, but don’t ask for state recognition of this.
Homosexuality has become something of a cultural barometer for the moral Right. For a society to champion such an abominable cause means that that society is at war with traditional values. That is the reason the Left is pushing the issue so hard; winning this contest means that morality is no longer a binding force in our culture, and that means that values are malleable, clay in the hands of a nefarious sculptor.
“Homosexuals are the ones transfixed on the issue and make a big deal about it, because they insist it is not a sin.”
Maybe not a sin as much as they never acknowledge my right not to agree with them. They say I have no freedom of choice not to agree with them.
i guess i’m not diverse, i only have one of those guns.
When adulterers,embezzelers,thieves,forgers,bigamists and tax frauds start demanding their sins be blessed by the churches then we can stop focusing on the sin of homosexual behavior.

I’ll take the Kimber.
Paging Senator Kennedy, please pick up the red courtesy phone...
I had to laugh during the last Dem debate when Barry Obsama was talking about “ruled through fear”. The Dems are the weight that counterbalances every bad and immoral trend in our society. They do it through intolerance and fear.
“I think the main reason sodomy is such a divisive issue is because the sodomites have been forcing it onto the rest of us.”
Exactly, and expecting the taxpayer to pay the tremendous burden on public health as they spread disease like insect vectors. More has been spent on their lethal venereal disease per capita of those infected than on heart disease and cancer in the rest of the population. The perverted behavior is like IV drug use in terms of age of morbidity and mortality only they demand the rest of us pay for it.
"Love the sinner, hate the sin".
And miss out annoying people and denying those places to people with children? Where is the fun in that?
/sarc, naturally.
For some reason, I do better with the S&W.
Me too!
But I really have a problem with the Gays who just have to bring their agenda into the schools. I liked it far better when they stayed in the closet. I will not have some gay group teaching my 8 yr old 2nd grade daughter its ok to be Gay. Its not their right. I will not have her reading books like the King and King. Or watching movies like Its Ok to Be Gay. I often wonder after these gay teachings do they even bother to tell children that being gay may kill them by AIDS? Shaking my head & wishing the Gays would get back into their closets & lock the doors.
What I was trying to say is that there are positive stories about people that have sexual sin issues. Samson is a big one but so is King David and Rahab the harlot. There are many more. There are none at all about gays.
I have to challenge that. I've read the bible lots of times and nothing comes to mind regarding changing a persons countenance.
Using religion as a reason for attacking those who oppose homos is getting old.
You don’t have to be religious to oppose un-natural acts and behavior.
Anyone bright enough to grasp the principle of the nut and bolt or hand-and-glove can understand how un-natural homosexualism truly is.
Not diverse enough. I don’t see any Luger style autos.
I don't buy this at all. Adultery and fornication have the women's clothing industry, the no-fault divorce lawyers, all advertisements that suggest you get the girl when you use . . . . Plus, they have a multi-billion dollar hard and soft pornography industry so big it drives most graphic innovation on the Internet and Oprah and other hormonal TV Mo's telling middle age women on talk shows to take control of their lives and get a divorce. Drunkenness is promoted in every commercial for beer you see on TV--glamorous people having way too much fun (and getting the girl) because they drink Bud. And then there's pride. Think car commercials for expensive cars.
In fact, most modern marketing and almost all modern television combines one or more of the seven deadly sins and wraps 'em up in an attractive, guilt-free, and slick package to sell product. It will use whatever sells. And the seven deadly sins have always sold well.
