God's children

[realFedUp]

Most Americans have friends, family, neighbors
who are gay and lesbian, whether they know it
or not.

The difference between those who see gays and
lesbians as God's children and those who think of them
as people who act shamefully and should be hidden
is one of the big differences in this election.

Some people have real compassion for fellow
human beings and some just don't follow Jesus
message for loving your neighbor as you love
youself.

1. I completely agree....

and am tired of listening to the hypocrisy of right wing born again's who preach love and forgiveness yet condemn gays. First of all even if you agreed it's a sin why does the sin of homosexuality eclipse the sin of murder or theft. You would be safer as a rapist/murderer in certain congregations than you would if you were gay. How can joke about killing gays? (Jimmy Swaggert a few weeks ago). I would love to joke about killing Jimmy to a congregation and see how amusing they find that. Of course I would not be joking........... Oops I am being just like them... Sorry!

Threats to the Rights of Gays and Lesbians

This week in 1979, over 500,000 people converged in Washington D.C. for the first major gay and lesbian civil rights march on the capital. The Court remains vitally important in the fight for equal rights. Your vote for President in November will help decide the rights of lesbians and gay men for the next 40 years or more.

One or two more justices like Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas on the Court would revive the infamous Bowers v. Hardwick ruling allowing states to treat gay men and lesbians as criminals. They would also likely reverse the landmark holding in Lawrence v. Texas that all adults, including gay men and lesbians, are entitled to privacy with respect to private sexual conduct by consenting adults.

More right-wing justices on the Court would further threaten the First Amendment rights of gay artists and performers against anti-gay censorship. Also, after a federal employee was fired after revealing he was gay, Justice Scalia argued that the employee should not even be able to have a court consider his constitutional claims.

Whatever your views on these specific issues, it's clear that the next President will help determine gay rights for decades. Urge your friends and neighbors to think carefully about the Supreme Court when they vote in November.

Vote Like Your Rights Depend on It. They do

6. I know my eyes were opened when I found out...

my wife is bisexual.

I had previously had some right-wing opinions regarding gays, lesbians and bisexuals. But knowing that someone you love is in one of those categories changes things a bit.

And if it doesn't then what the hell kind of morality do you really have anyway?
