I've been neglecting my blog, I admit it, but now that I think I finally have a layout that I like, perhaps I will more likely to post.
I have pictures from Halloween, my trip to NYC, and other musings, however, right now, I am still fixated on the fact that my fellow Californians passed Proposition 8, thereby banning gay marraige. California is supposed to be one of the more liberal states in the Union, yet here we are, a bunch of biggots.
That's honestly how I feel. There isn't any acceptable form of bigotry in today's day, unless you hate homosexuals! People with "Yes on 8" signs in their yard might as well have a sign that reads, "Hi - I'm a bigot! Yes on 8!"
In general my view on life is ... if it doesn't affect you or harm anyone else, then WHY DO YOU CARE??? You may not want to marry a member of the same sex, so don't(!), but why does it matter if your neighbor Jim does? It's not harming you, and the signifigance of your marriage isn't "cheapened" in any way. You took vows - so honor them and then the sanctity of marriage will remain so in your home. People spend so much time worrying about what other people are doing and labeling them "sinners" instead of focusing on themselves.
I believe this is an issue of civil rights because I believe that homosexuals don't have a choice - it's in their genetics. And the last time I checked, we don't leave issues of civil rights up to popular vote. It is my true hope that the legal system will overturn the vote and gay people can get married, have babies, throw parties, celebrate holidays ... and the world will be a better, more tolerant, place because of it.
It doesn’t appear the Original Poster is agreeing with the bloggers conclusion unless I’m missing something, not troll alert worthy.
You may want to check the "revised" APA statement regarding "gay gene" for starters.
Then check the Center for Disease Control, specifically the STD statistics in the MSM (men having sex w/ men) category.
The blog is from some ditzy California chick who thinks the world is fascinated by her weekend trips to Macy’s and strolls though town.
I’ll get to it tomorrow unless someone else does first!
I think his 1st and 4th posts clarified his position, saying that if CA is a “bigot” state then Jesus, et. al would be considered “bigots” by the blogger.

Many believe homosexuals are born with their same-sex attraction and for decades, gays have claimed to be born that way. The problem is, science disagrees, vehemently.
Science has always been hostile to the born that way theory. What science has told us for decades is that environment is causal. What that means is environment is a key factor in how our sexuality develops.

There's also a growing number of ex-gays:

We’ve also infiltrated the little moonbats blog with some comments, I’m sure she’ll be shocked that “bigots” are posting on her little blog. lol
I want to marry my cat. We should be able to marry because we’re not hurting anybody. I have felt this attraction to cats since I was a kid, my therapist says I was born that way.
It’s against my civil rights, and also animal rights, not to let me marry my cat. I want my cat covered on my health insurance and listed as beneficiary of my 401k. I want to be able to check into a hotel with my cat without having to feel embarrassed. Therefore we are entitled to be civilly married.
Great stuff there. I learned about this subject from an old time Ivy league Park Avenue psychiatrist friend (RIP) who treated and converted homosexuals as well as some really bizarre sexual deviants.
What a tragedy that this information is suppressed from people, there will never be an honest discussion on the subject in the U.S. Pravda.
With a screen name like baa I almost believe you ; )
Thanks for the ping.
Very well said.
Oh, but you're mistaken. Ever see treatment of a practicing Christian in San Francisco?
Not only that, but Prop 8 actually won buy a slight margin (less than a percent) in LOS ANGELES COUNTY. If you look at a map of the area that voted yes is was the eastern part of the county from East La through to the County Line, as well as South Central LA and parts of the San Fernando Valley that were a little, uh, ethnic (IE Van Nuys). It lost in the white parts of LA County (Westwood, Beverly Hills, Sherman Oaks, etc.).I noticed this too. About half of the people in my old neighborhood are Mexicans. Every precinct in my old neighborhood voted for Prop. 8.
Weve also infiltrated the little moonbats blog with some comments, Im sure shell be shocked that bigots are posting on her little blog. lolThe queers and their sympathizers have yet to get over the bitch-slapping they got November 4th.
Weve also infiltrated the little moonbats blog with some comments, Im sure shell be shocked that bigots are posting on her little blog. lolTo quote a "bigot", "But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female." Do any of the Muslim FREEpers have similar quotes from that "bigot" Mohammed?
Many believe homosexuals are born with their same-sex attraction and for decades, gays have claimed to be born that way. The problem is, science disagrees, vehemently.Even if they were born that way, that does not mean that they should have homosexual relations, just like if people were born greedy, that does not mean that they should steal.
