- Resistance Is Futile!

An interesting side point to the 'Stonewall Riots': the gays were gathered at the time to mourn the recent death of Judy Garland who was a gay icon (of which she was quite aware). One could say her death was the impetus of the movement.

once again, nice POING !
Yep. It was also one of the only gay bars in NYC at the time that was not owned by the Mafia. The mob essentially provided "protection" from the authorities at a time when gay establishments were "illegal." The NYPD was therefore "selective" about who got shut down.
:)
Never heard of the GRID thing.
Pretty good, but I disagree with some of it. Still, not bad. For the real truth about homosexuality, go to gty.org and listen to John MacArthur's series on the subject. It's outstanding.
ping for later
I can see numerous instances when my conduct, which I thought carefully discreet, was really designed to reveal to someone, anyone, what was happening to me.
Trans: There's no way in h*ll that I'm responsible for my own actions.
Therefore, we feel compelled to silence the "voice of conscience" – not just the one inside of us, but the one in other people, which tends to revive our own conscience with which we're at war. This means we can't tolerate dissent. We simply can't stand it. It makes us want to scream.
There's another post (Culture of Vice) which is about this same fact:
Persons protecting themselves by rationalizing are interested not in finding the truth, but in maintaining the illusion that allows them to continue their behavior. For them to succeed in this, everyone must accede to their rationalization. This is why revolutionary change is required. The necessity for self-justification requires the complicity of the whole culture.
The scary part is how successful this has been. Even when the public has stood up to the homosexual onslaught, as with same-sex marriage, activist courts are undoing the people's will.
Pretty good -listened to it three times and see no errors or coflicts with my moral guide -Catholic Church teaching...
If you want on/off the ping list let me and little jeremiah know.
Good post!
Whoa momma!
LOL
"You bigot, O'Connor, you're killing us!" screamed one protester, while signs called the archbishop "Murderer!"
Then it got really ugly. Scores of protesters entered the church, resulting in what many in the packed house of parishioners described as a "nightmare."
"The radical homosexuals turned a celebration of the Holy Eucharist into a screaming babble of sacrilege by standing in the pews, shouting and waving their fists, tossing condoms into the air," recounted the New York Post. One of the invaders grabbed a consecrated wafer and threw it to the ground.
Outside, demonstrators, many of them members of ACT-UP, carried placards that summed up their sentiments toward the Catholic Church: "Keep your church out of my crotch." "Keep your rosaries off my ovaries." "Eternal life to Cardinal John O'Connor NOW!" "Curb your dogma."
In 1989, homosexual activists chained themselves to pews during a Mass at St. Patrick’s, throwing condoms at the cardinal during the consecration. Thereafter, the gays and lesbians hi-jacked the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade and hurled blasphemous insults while passing by the cathedral, where Cardinal O’Connor watched the parade year after year. Meanwhile the cardinal was opening houses for AIDS patients and making unannounced visits to Catholic hospitals where he ministered to AIDS patients, most of them homosexuals. In fact, USA Today once reported that he "washed the hair and emptied bedpans of dying AIDS patients, some too sick to know who he was."

Bump for a must read article/thread.
A good article and the author makes some interesting points, but I thing he's missing the forest for the trees.
The issue is not so much homosexuality, but the nuclear family.
