A Megachurch's Leader Says Microsoft Is No Match

"African-American homophobia is just another form of discrimination," he said.

Looks like liberals have taken the black vote for granted and are now cozying up to gays.

". . . officials at Microsoft vehemently deny that the minister had anything to do with their decision not to support the bill this year . . ."

Yeah, . . .
that's what happened . . .
We didn't even hear about the minister . . .
We didn't even know there was a minister . . .
Yeah, that's the ticket!

I searched on "Microsoft" and found nothing. Thanks.

O.K. can someone please help? Heterosexuals make up, what, 90 percent of the populous and homosexuals make up approximately 3% (are these numbers correct and if so, what are the rest?) why is this marriage right being shoved down the majority's throat? I'm no homophobe, (some of my best friends are gay) ;D! but why are their rights or anything for that matter being discussed because they choose an alternative sexual lifestyle that I do not? I'm befuddled..... and be nice, it's still early.

I am still trying to figure out what they don't like about this guy. Is it:

A)He is a black man that broke the shackles of democrat slavery.

B)Hes a Christian.

C)He likes Rush.

D) All the above.


Note that this is another story that really has no purpose being written by the MSM because it can connect Republicans and Christians. Being able to label them all homophobes is just a bonus.

This guy came to our church in Memphis with Dr. Dobson, and I was very impressed!

"....and we are committed to diversity at every level of our company."

I thought they had more sense than that. Can anyone point to a single shred of evidence that suggest that "diversity" is anything more than a steaming pile?

To hell with gays. Any group of people whose identity is based upon a sexual act doesn't deserve respect. Do you ever hear anything out of the "missionary position" people?

OMG, lol I knew I should not have taken a sip of coffee before I read your post, I about choked to death laughing so hard.

According to Kinsey, homosexuals may represent around 10% of the population but this is not (no pun intended) a hard and fast number. There has been some recent indication that general acceptance (and perhaps even the practice thereof) is dramatically on the increase among the young.

To answer your question more directly, homosexuals tend to be more activist than the general population at large, starting with the Stonewall riots on Christopher Street in Manhattan in 1969. Additionally, as the black population has tended to become more conservative over time and drifted away from the shore, gays represented a natural alliance for the Liberal Democrats who needed a replacement constituency.

But then, Kinsey was a sick, twisted, masochistic, zoologist who promulgated fraudulent data.

poo, I covered this here:

-A Gay ( or not! ) Old Time- GM links--

My estimate- based on 56 years of living, a gay first brother-in-law, gay employees in my former businesses, and the gay couple next door ( 18 years of pleasant co-existence, they are nice folks ) is 3 percent.

Yep, 3%, most of whom are not remotely interested in some "right" to get married anyway, dictating to everyone else a fundamental uprooting of society, thousands of years of convention... it's nuts.

It's even nuttier that it is taken seriously, let alone being considered as law, anywhere.

Perhaps this is a case of attacking the messenger when the message itself proves uncomfortable. As far as I am aware (and I'm certainly no expert), Kinsey was a well respected sex researcher and sociologist.

Imo gays are more politically active because they don't have families to look after. Plus many have huge disposable incomes to donate to things like political efforts. If so many hadn't died from aids, they would be nearly unstoppable in our democracy.

I think it would largely be dependant upon the nature of the business. While gays can be found in all walks of life, they gravitate toward the arts and more creative aspects of society.

Well, I suppose if sexually torturing infants to get Table 34 results could be considered "respected" methodology.

Here is an excellent document/book on the perv that liberals love to love.

Great point!

Ed Murray, an openly gay state legislator from Seattle, a practicing Roman Catholic and a sponsor of the antidiscrimination bill.

An individual who publicly advertises himself as a homosexual and advocates for homosexual marriage is not a "practicing Roman Catholic" and I really wish apostates like this would stop pretending that they are still Catholics.

Heterosexuals make up, what, 90 percent of the populous and homosexuals make up approximately 3% (are these numbers correct and if so, what are the rest?)

According to NORC (the most authoritative and scientific study done to date) 2.5% of men and 1.3% of women actively choose sodomy as their "lifestyle".

That's about 1.9% of the population.

98% of the population is heterosexual and the remaining .1% consist of ambiguous individuals.
