What were once vices are now habits. Great Ablum.

What the hell is happening in America? Every perversion and "choice" is being presented to us as "normal," as though challenging us to disagree and confess we think they're abnormal. Such a confession would earn us one of those labels meant to silence us (bigot, homophobe, redneck, intolerant, or just plain "not with it").
The Supreme Court's endorsement of sodomy was bad enough, but we should worry as much about the gradual intrusions that the gay, lesbian, bisexual, sadomasochist, transgender, transvestite, and other members of the "sexual rights" gang and their cohorts make on decent American society. The Baltimore Sun recently published an obituary that gave us another milestone on America's march toward complete decadence: "Pepper LaBeija, 53, a famed queen of Harlem drag balls died of a heart attack May 14 in New York." Ms/Mr. LaBeija's given name was William Jackson, the obit informs us. It gave her/him equal billing with the late Rachel Kempson, the matriarch of the Redgrave acting clan and a British star in her own right; and Rob Kling, "the founding father of social informatics-how computers influence social change." Newspapers such as the Sun felt her/his death deserved national coverage because William Jackson dressed in flamboyant women's clothing. Ms/Mr. LaBeija, her obit informs us, was fortunate to have outlived other transvestites such as Angie Xtravagana and Avis Pendavis.
USA Today noted, "Suddenly, without much fanfare or backlash, mainstream entertainment has fallen head over heels for gays and lesbians, as well as the occasional transgender or bisexual counterpart, with an embrace that goes beyond the passing flirtations of the past." Hollywood's pro-gay bias pervades the movies and television shows. The movie American Beauty portrayed gay "partners" as educated, handsome, clean-cut professionals, and the man who disapproved of their "partnership" as an uptight Marine redneck and a latent homosexual.
They're winning the war, and they've dug in for the long haul by going after the youth of America. We read of 14-year-olds who announce in school that they've "outed" as gay, lesbian, or transgender. The pro-gay media acts as though these adolescents have the maturity to make such decisions.
Lisa Dombrowski, assistant professor of film studies at Wesleyan University, told USA Today: "This is a generation that has grown up with more images of gays, lesbians, transgender, and bisexuals." Hollywood and our jaded media intend to provide them with even more such images. Disney gave them the movie Sweet Home Alabama, in which "Disney didn't have any concerns about the movie's gay character, the hometown friend who is 'outed' by Reese Witherspoon." Disney hosts gay days at its amusement park. The Bravo channel will feature Boy Meets Boy, a dating show. ABC will feature "It's All Relative," about a woman raised by two gay "partners."
ABC News reports: "Today, an updated version of Marvel Comics' Rawhide Kid series will hit comic book stores. The gunslinger, who first made his debut 48 years ago, comes out of the closet." ABC at least gave some time to the other side: "Some parents and conservative groups are mortified that Marvel Comics would promote a gay character. 'It is an assault on children because it is sending them the message that homosexuality is an acceptable, normal lifestyle,' said Robert Knight, director of Concerned Women for America's Culture and Family Institute. 'It is also a perversion of Westerns. All Western heroes have been portrayed as straight shooters - and that just doesn't mean hitting a target with a gun. It's a matter of character.'"
Americans object to the idea that they must accept these sweeping societal changes as normal, even when they feel deep down that they're abnormal. The Supreme Court ignored our objections and found a hitherto unknown clause in our Constitution that endorsed sodomy. The pro-sodomy media made a convoluted connection from that decision to the legalization of gay "marriage" in the United States.
Vermont already allows "civil unions" between homosexuals. Canada-whose government is riddled with the most extreme leftists on the continent-has given legal sanction to such "marriages." The Associated Press reported: "An appeals court ruled that Canada's ban on homosexual marriage was unconstitutional and hours later two Canadian men tied the knot in the country's first legal same-sex marriage." A Canadian appeals court overturned the law that defines marriage as "a union between a man and a woman." Hordes of American gays and lesbians will stream across the border to get "married," then stream back and demand that we recognize those marriages. Those of us who won't accept them, or any other such "rights," such as the right to be a homosexual Boy Scout leader, will again be labelled bigots, homophobes, rednecks, latent homosexuals in denial, or all of the above.
It gets worse. The 2003 North American Conference on Bisexuality will be held later this year in (where else?) California. One of the speakers is Joan M. Garry, executive director of "Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), the nation's gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender media advocacy organization." Another star is comedian Rob Yaeger, billed as "the Earth's only bisexual, genderqueer, trans-affectional, sex radical, frequently kinky, Catholic-raised agnostic-atheist" and on and on. The ads for the conference make it sound as normal as a convention of birdwatchers. Does anyone really believe that bisexuality is normal?
San Francisco made history in March when Theresa Sparks was named the Woman of the Year in the 13th Assembly District. Theresa Sparks was a man who had a sex change operation and is now considered a woman. Theresa had been instrumental in getting the city to pay for city workers' sex-change operations.
Is there an end to it all? Will the Supreme Court next endorse pedophilia, necrophilia, incest, and bestiality? Keep your eye on Hollywood and the media. When they start making the case that those perversions are normal, our Supreme Court won't be far behind.

Only in you overactive imagination did Jesus ever say this. Christians who do not know their religon should not be preaching it.

Ummmm...I seen the film a few times....they weren't????? I thought they were. How do you know they weren't?
Hollywood gives em what they want. If it didn't sell so much they wouldn't push it so much.

They are already hinting at it.
No He didn't. Open your eyes if you don't see what the liberals are doing. Call something they like evil and you automatically a bigot.
I guess it is possible I am confused but as I remember it the Marine father thought his son and the neighbor were having sex when all they were doing is rolling a doobie (the son was after the daughter, not the father)
Later the Marine father goes over and tries to kiss the other father who then tells him he does not swing that way. Later the Marine murders the other father (most likely because he is tormented over his latent homosexuality).
WAIT A MINUTE, you guys are talking about the gay couple that had a very very small part in the movie. OK, they were presented in a positive light – but the Marine murderer seemed to kill in response to his latent homosexuality and that is far from a positive presentation of homosexuality.
Oh Yeah!!!
Of course He did not. You obviously knew that.
So tell me, in your brand of Christianity, is it OK make up Jesus quotes as long as you are doing it for a "good" pupose?
Let me say this in Christian love... "Bite me!"
Your ignorance has perverted the word of God before an audience of thousands. Why is your pervesion of the Word of God any less sinful than humans perverting the sex act.
Here is something Jesus actually did say:
John 8:7 - "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone..."
Go. From now on sin no more.
you should take that to heart and stop casting your empty stones.
Every person here at FR judges in everything post they make. Open your eyes and think. As far as millions seeing me... they also saw I can admit when I'm wrong, unlike jerk-offs like you that just sit and judge people.
thins is my finally post to you... so don't quote what you don't understand.
Well, I guess that begs the question: Is it better to quote that which one does not understand or is it better to just make up quotes?
You are a Christian or at least you claim to be a Christian. I would think you would feel some responsibility to accurately quote the Words of Jesus. If you are so uncaring about the actual words of Chirst how can anyone give any creditability to any Christian pronouncement you may make? You should at least stand back at let the knowledgeable Christians do the talking.
