Seems to me that the only inequalities are those created by government when they tied things like tax policy and social security to marriage.

Obamacare is doing more of the exact same thing.

hypocrisy at it’s finest. The gay community has an aggressive agenda to attack religious folks as can be seen in this photo of the “sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” attacking Catholic nuns in a recent “Gay Pride” Parade in Boston.

No doubt. We must annunciate and repudiate the war against Christian values that is being led by the media complex in this country. This would be a ready made campaign cry for the right if they had the courage to actually stand for anything... The war against Christians.

The most important thing is for us to constantly point it out so that voters know it even exists.

But we can't have a country where we have both gay weddings and people who disagree with them.

The evidence is already overwhelming. But he's wrong about the Pajama Boys. If they do not like the way the people vote, they will get the courts to reverse it, and if need be, our now-gay military will enforce the decision.

Christians look to the Bible as a guide to living and salvation. We know what sin is and battle against it on a daily basis. Sometimes we fail but forgiveness is available. If we choose to embrace sin and make it our lifestyle then we are no longer asking for forgiveness but acceptance. I’m still looking for the verses that preach acceptance of sin.

“April 2, 2013 – I had a great talk yesterday with Dr. Thomas Clark, an epidemiologist and meningitis expert at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Our topic: the recent deadly meningitis outbreak among gay men in New York City.

As you may recall, we’ve been reporting on increasingly scary warnings out of New York that a particularly deadly variant of meningococcal disease (bacterial meningitis) was showing up in gay men in New York.”

Do homosexuals have to pay more for Obamacare?

You may not need a liberation movement to have sex,
But you seem need the trillions of taxes taken from the work of millions of people to keep you from infecting each other and causing horrible deaths in your community and elsewhere !!
when you start believing your own Bull s—t your in real trouble.

Realize that the left (er, “progressives”) are not honest advocates of liberty. They only advocate something in order to advance the liberal agenda.

Recall that in the 1960’s the left demanded free speech from the conservative establishment. But they didn’t want really free speech, like Phil Robertson exercised. They wanted speech that was useful to tear down social norms especially those that helped to protect sexual morality.

Now that these same leftists are in control of education, media and entertainment, notice how they act while demanding free speech. A person cannot just remain silent. GLAAAD now demands affirmation that there is nothing wrong with homosexual behavior. If this was true, why is it still a big deal when some public person “comes out of the closet”? If the debate were settled, why does GLAAAAD need to exist any longer?

The people who were upset by Phil Robertson’s honesty can say or do anything. They are really raging against God who declares that what they are doing disqualifies them from receiving the free gift of eternal life made possible by Jesus’ sacrifice. These are similar to the people to whom Jesus said were “dead in their sins”

John 8:24 MKJV Therefore I said to you that you shall die in your sins, for if you do not believe that I AM, you shall die in your sins.

This is a hard truth. A lot of liberals reject God and at best have some nebulous feeling about what happens after death. God tells us plainly in many ways that all humans will be judged for their actions. He also tells us plainly that some humans will choose to adhere to beliefs and behaviors that disqualify them from receiving eternal life.

Liberals can rage all they want, but that is the deal.

“When the left talks about tolerance, it means intolerance.”

The vociferous want not only mandated acceptance, but mandated approval and participation, no matter the cost to an individual or society.

tolerance: the act of putting up with something one disapproves of or surviving that which causes irritation or poisoning

“Gays aren’t seeking a right, they’re seeking to impose their will.”

Gay activists are Christophobes - they are afraid of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and are using this issue to attack anyone who is a Christian.

Federal law prohibits someone from being fired for their religious beliefs. Unless there was something in the contract allowing them to be fired for their religious beliefs, then I fail to see how the firing was not illegal.

As for the Christian bakers - again, they are under ATTACK for being Christian. It is a travesty for any judge to rule that religious belief is only allowed inside the home. The first amendment should have settled that issue, but it seems the courts are more interested in gay rights than the Constitution or religious freedom.

We need to be pointing out to everyone we meet that this is a religious freedom issue, and that Christophobic homosexuals are attacking people for their religious beliefs.

At a minimum, we need to push for a federal law that states the right to hold and express and live one’s religious beliefs outside the home and in the workplace. If you can be fired for being intolerant of homosexual behavior, and specifically for expressing your views on your own time, then there is no religious freedom in America and the christophobic left will have conquered America.

That right is guaranteed in the first amendment to the Constitution. If it is not sacrosanct there no lesser document will make it more viable.
We must demand absolute allegiance to the Constitution. No other course is defensible.

Just a reminder. Buggering and infanticide are not Constitutionally protected.

“...but they must tolerate my condemnation of their depravity.”

Good luck with that. They’re not very tolerant of any other view, except their own.

"They’re not very tolerant of any other view, except their own."

That's all that really needs to be said about the gay rights movement.
