What is it about the gays?..

[Larry Gude]

I've always attributed the "special attention" to an old idiom "the squeaky wheel gets the grease."

I get that but, if it ain't your wheel, what would one care???

Again, this is simple for me; born and raised in the flower biz, been around gay folks my whole life and don't understand ANY of the over heated negative reactions to gay folks. Don't understand how anyone claiming to be a conservative could support using the US Constitution to ban gay marriage and will never understand how on earth baking a cake, what I do for a living, for some gays folks would be an assault on MY faith. That speaks either to some shaky faith or some extreme views that, again, harm the faith rather than support it. In my view.

Naw... I've heard Larry's playing. He can play.

The only song I'm aware of by Michael is 'Faith' where he appears to be faking playing the guitar. And my recollect of Michael is that he swings both ways. So he's a faux gay as well as a faux guitar player.

Guys like him ALSO play guitar. Prince, Freddy, etc. But, they're not guitar players by trade.

Wow and are you not judging Christians right now by your very sweeping generalizations of all Christians, Dakota?

I agree that there are a LOT of Christians out there who are judgemental BUT they're disobeying God by doing so.

There are also a LOT of Christians who aren't judgemental. Please don't judge us all for the bad behavior of some.

I meant the Christians acting in the capacity to redeem the world with spewing hate, as in the Christians Christy mentions in her 1st posting... I meant no generalizations to all what-so-ever just some.

I don't think Prince is gay. But Freddie and Prince are about as close to real musicians as you can get. They wrote some great music and could play. Freddie was multi-instrumental, which is always an impressive thing to me.

Prince is not gay.

Give him a hug and see if you catch the "gheybug"



I have to say, there have been some redeeming posts in here. That being said, the people who say they "love" their gay friends and family but tell those people that they don't support their lifestyles and offer to "pray" for them are the people directly contributing to their suicides. How would you feel if your parents, siblings, and close friends all said your life is filled with sin and you're going to hell, even though you can't control who you are? For shame.

So the laws were not abolished, just that we are not the judges and should not be casting the stones....


A Painstaking But Concise Exposition of Matthew 5:17-19

Its interesting, but I was just doing a personal study on Leviticus, which is where God's laws regarding sexual morality/immorality are largely contained. In it, God lists all kinds of sexual prohibitions that are part of His covenant with Israel. Among these is a prohibition against homosexuality. Now, many say that Levitical laws no longer apply to anybody, since they were for Israel, but I disagree on classifying the entire book that way. In the section on sexual morality, God tells Moses that because of these sins (including the "abomination" of homosexuality), He abhorred those who practice them (Gentile pagans). If He abhorred them and considered them unholy for everybody then, and God does not change regarding His nature and holiness, it follows that He feels the same way now as well.

It might not be my wheel, but as citizens of the US, its our cart too.

Bunch of religious zealot hypocrites.

That’s just nonsense. I don’t have to agree with every living thing in this world simply out of fear that not doing so might contribute to someone’s suicide.

Nah. You are just fake. Rock on with your fake self!

You don't have to agree with them, but you also don't have to call them damn dirty apes that are going to hell. Where do you get off thinking you have a say in everyone's life? What happened to simply loving your neighbor? If someone chooses to smoke, whatever (just don't blow smoke in people's faces). If someone is gay, whatever (just don't pass the "gheybug"). What's the difference? You don't tell smokers that they're immoral and going to hell and that you'll pray for them. Why do people have to spout hatred? Just be nice to people...it's easier than you'd think.

The classic part is that he is nice to their face, but then talks crap about how immoral they are behind their back. Gotta love fake people!

Wait, so either a person is "hateful" for telling a person that homosexuality is immoral to their face (Beta's position), or they are "fake" for not saying anything to their face, but only "behind their back" as you put it (Your position). These are contradictory positions.

Oh wait, I get it, nobody's allowed to say anything at all negative about homosexuality. Ever. Gotcha.

Its my bad, I forgot this is Canada.

If you are nice to someone to their face and talk chit behind their back, yes, that's fake..... You're doing good!

Good 'un!!! I think I meant deal but, that works!

OK, but, if you are gay and I am a devout Christian and you are not seeking to join my church nor even claim to be a Christian, what business or care is it of mine unless I don't believe in religious and individual freedom including the religious and individual freedom that allows me to choose to be a devout Christian?

It might be more honest for me to say "I am not for religious freedom. I want everyone to believe as I do" and be done with it. Yes?
