Religious strong arming is rearing its ugly head in D.C. The Catholic church is threatening to abandon social services because of the city’s intent to extend civil marriage to gay couples, despite language which gives religious organizations a pass on performing services for them. The threat is based out of a fear of being forced to extend employee benefits to same-sex married couples, because of the city law prohibiting discrimination against gays. Fearful that they could be forced, am... Read Full Story

“This idea that gay people are coming to eat your children is a long-standing tactic of the right wing,” she said. “The response to those ads that not only has more truth, but more integrity, is that we live in a diverse world and our kids know that and it’s irresponsible for us not to talk about the world we live in in age-appropriate ways. Dismissing them as lies actually does a disservice not only to the people in our community, but to the public that knows better.&... Read Full Story

Good for them!  Protest, protest, protest!  Religion has ABSOLUTELY no Right to be involved in the general public’s life!  Especially when, many are not of the religion which is being pushed out into the civil world. The more one particular religion pursues discrimination and in its actions pursues the abuse of many American citizens, the less I feel sorry for them when people turn and leave thier flock or stand in protest outside their doors.

I am quiet sure the honeymoon is over, but that the marriage won’t end in divorce.  However, what sucks is, people in this country are so filled with negativity, it is amazing anything positive ever gets done. And though I believe what some say when they blame extremism, it is impossible to be without extremes, because in reality without them to show us were not to step, we might not be able to define where to go (Philosophically Speaking). Obama has been our leader for 10 Months.  T.E.... Read Full Story

Spinning it straight to all the peacemakers and the ‘let’s negotiate’ state to state try to elucidate naysayers: This is our life you try to dictate me-diate desecrate and overstate in propagandic pamphlets of lies while children watch how to live their lives on Gossip girl and Desperate housewives. We interrupt this program With violence at 5. It’s all hypocrisy apostasy dressed in black and swinging bats of reli-gi-osity defending a notion of superiority over mediocrity and casting lots for...

There is a light at the end of the tunnel!!  “Washington voters have approved the state’s new “everything but marriage” law, expanding rights for domestic partners and marking the first time any state’s voters have approved a gay equality measure at the ballot box. With about 72 percent of the expected vote counted Thursday in unofficial returns, Referendum 71 was leading 52 percent to 48 percent, with a margin of about 60,000 votes.” The Detroit News...

One reason given for discriminating against gays and denying their right to marry is because of behavior.  By behavior I mean sex.  Yep, S.E.X.  The act. The joining of two (though not always) bodies in intimacy. But is that all marriage for anyone is? Is it just about sex? I should hope not. Many couples, and for the moment I speak only of heterosexuals, the act of marrying is about commitment.  It is about choosing a partner to spend the rest of their lives with.  It is about forsaking all ...

Again, it seems when I respond to a post in disagreement, a decent reply does not come.  Soooo I am posting a small excerpt from Cornell at thinkpoint.wordpress.com with my response. …The flawed logic serving the battle for gay rights works off of the assumption that one is born gay and cannot change. Ask those who once practiced the homosexual lifestyle but are now free from it what they think of this argument? Although some people might be biologically inclined toward homosexual behav...
