“Human Rights Campaign” – the most closeted name for a gay organization.
Question: If it doesn’t matter whom one sleeps one, why do some feel it necessary to proclaim and celebrate and flaunt it?
Sorry, scratch that last question. I’ll save my snarkiness for another day.
I couldn’t even get half way through it.
Say what you will about the message, the presentation is effective.
Michael: That’s what I’m concerned about.
Personaly,
As I’ve said many times, I’m EXTREMELY liberal in my domestic politics.
My problem with gay marriage isn’t that I think of homosexuals as less than human, I think they are JUST as human as everyone else, they should have any of their basic right withdrawn from them simply because they are a man, who takes WAY too much time cleaning the mustard off of a hot dog, or cuz it’s a woman who only laps at the Oyster Licqeur without ever eating the meat, THATS ALL FINE!
My problem is the method with which the gay lobby forces it’s morals on those who are in the indifferent middle. the INDIFFERENT MIDDLE! Most people don’t care, until you get 5 judges to say that MOST PEOPLE are liars and bigots, which they are not.
LEGISLATE marriage, don’t invent a right.
THATS why I’m a conservative. My opinions agree with the left in more ways than they side with the right, but I’ve always believed in the opinion that method is an example of ideal, and the ideal of the left, is to oppress the middle, no matter the means, without concern of the law.
Let homosexuals marry homosexuals. If you don’t like homosexuality, then it is a guarantee that those homosexuals will not have anymore homosexual kids.
Thats middle school biology.
OH! the thing that is offensive about that film?
How the people who really ARE homosexuals, being reasonable and only asking for acknowledgement, like takei, and degeners.
But it was the Straights, like Stone, and JANET FRIGGEN JACKSON faking tears, at the plight of being gay.
They offend the very ideal they say they are allied with.
hypocritical little fucksticks.
(pardon my language.)
WP:
I also think homosexual marriage is a legislative issue, not a court issue. Besides, I believe everybody should have the right to be miserable.
Ok. I’ve been quiet/absent for awhile. But this video was painful!
I feel sad that homosexuals do what they do, because from what I read clearly in Scripture (Romans 1:26-27) it is sinful and damages them spiritually. But when they and the “hypocritical little f-sticks” try to get everyone else on the acceptance/tolerance bandwagon I get angry. Its like someone just tried to put me in a very itchy-wool turtleneck on a Texas-HOT-July day! If I approve of their acts it WILL affect my spiritual health too (Romans 1:28-32). I own that I’m not in approval and that view won’t make me popular.
But to be labeled homophobic because I have a different view on reality and Scripture?! Clarification: I’m not afraid of homosexuality. I seek to understand the pain & frustration and be compassionate, and have invested in listening (more than I speak) and caring for some I know personally. But I don’t have to approve of what they do.I’ll continue to choose intollerance of the behavior and lies, and work to keep a healty fear of God, since I have no excuse either for my own versions of sinful behavior & sick conditions.
Mrs. Michael, when you said “damages them spiritually”, it reminded me of how I feel about the “lesbian chic” that is popular nowadays.
I think that straight girls engaging in homosexual acts to get attention is not healthy.
(Sorry guys!)
Furthermore, there seems to double standards in this issue. We need to be tolerant and accepting of their lifestyle while they can remain intolerant and rejecting of our beliefs and opinions. Not gonna happen.
I honestly don’t think this would be such a problem if gay people and gay-rights activists did not try to be all in our face about it. I have my own opinions about what other people do, and I’m not going to make a big deal, but when they try and force me to think and believe the way they want me to – that is crossing a very important line.
Frankly, this almost totalitarian demand to conform is un-American. It reminds me of the Soviet Union: one will think what The Party has decreed its people to think. Our freedom to think as we will is what makes America strong. We shouldn’t be forcing anyone to think anything.
And Lipstick is right too.
What Musli said. And we should note that the “totalitarian demand to conform” is a hallmark of the left.
I personally think that homosexuals’ constant and unending insistence that we all accept and embrace their behavior is an implicit admission that they know they’re doing wrong. When I’m right about something, I’m perfectly content in the knowledge that I’m right and feel no need to force other people to agree.
Also, I am having a horrible fortnight. Absolutely beautiful day today, and I had a lovely walk along the Charles this morning, but I am really stressed, feel terrible, and would like to have just a simple, relaxing weekend curled up under a big thick blanket. Preferably with male company.
Well, maybe I can do that next weekend. Assuming I don’t have to work, that is. (Did I tell you guys I will be working 9 hr/day 7 days/week in December, and that might easily end up being over the Christmas holidays?)
Anyway, I think some FF6 is indicated, and then bed.
Over Christmas? Ouch!
oh right, I forgot to mention that’s only for about 10 days. Judging by last time, I’ll have a 12-hour day, a day off, then about ten days of that schedule.
Needless to say, I’ll be doing my holiday shopping next month.
You have to work on Christmas Peel?
That sucks. Somehow youve managed to become both Bob Cratchit and Tiny Tim.
Maybe you should just quit. I would.
Retirement Rocks!
Where are these homosexuals who are getting in everybody’s face making demands? Yeah, I know there are some. (Presumably in this video, which I can’t watch because I’m on a trip and the network is too slow.) But most real-life homosexuals would prefer to be left alone.
Consider this: just walking down the street in most cities, they have to worry about being assaulted because of who they are. This whole gay rights concept is first and foremost about ending that.
Do you have any gay friends? I do. And they’ve been beat up simply because of who they are. I’m not making this up. We don’t have to worry about that; they do.
There’s a pretty big double-standard, all right.
To clarify, I don’t have a problem with your opposition to gay marriage. But you are speaking in plurals as if gays collectively are being unfair to straights collectively. And that is an inversion of reality.
Sorry to sound so snippy. I’m a little bit sick, and it’s put me in a bad mood. I think I got the dengue fever or something.
Oh, December is a bitch. You might have to work weeks in a row without a day off.
Hm. What’s that like, exactly? Wow, bet that sucks.
Do you have to do a LOT OF HEAVY LIFTING AND STAY ON YOUR FEET ALL FUCKING DAY,
SO THAT YOU HURT WHEN YOU GO TO BED, AND YOU STILL HURT WHEN YOU WAKE UP,
AND IT GOES ON AND ON FOR FUCKING THREE WEEKS STRAIGHT AND THEN WHEN ITS ALL FINALLY OVER AND YOU THINK YOU CAN DIE NOW,
EVERY PERSON YOU LOVE IN THE WORLD WANTS YOU TO COME OVER AND MAKE CAKES AND BE MERRY?
Is it like that? IS IT LIKE THAT.
IS IT LIIIIIIIIIIKE THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT??!?!?
Sorry.
I get really excited about the Holiday Season.
So, Laura, we were thinking about having the Innocent Bystanders Christmas Party at your place. Is that a problem?
It’s OK if you use paper plates and napkins.
I just don’t like plastic cups. I’m sure your egg nog deserves something better.
I’ve heard the gas expelled from popped bubble wrap causes aggression and humpedbackedness.
That was not helpful, Pupster. I’m trying to charm Laura into hosting the Christmas party.
Laura, sweetie, we’ll all chip in. I personally am planning to bring the Swedish Meat Balls.
(Pssst, HayZeus, can I get a deal on Swedish Meat Balls at Costco?)
Can we play Jenga?
I love Jenga.
(Pssst, Michael, yes you can!)
*GAAAAAHHHH*
Imagine a re-enactment of Godzilla taking down Tokyo, but in lauraw’s computer room, with a tiny stuffed bunny as Godzilla, and the people are carpet-nits*
tiny stuffed bunny
Awwwww, so cute!
Be careful ‘hoon – that rabbit’s got a vicious streak a mile wide!
With nasty big pointy teeth?
At least it won’t say “Ni!”
Muslihoon -are you saying Ni to that old hunchback?
Oh, what sad times are these when passing Pakistanis can say Ni at will to old hunchbacks. There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress in this period in history.
I hate it when I have to use google to figure out a Monty Pithon joke.
It might have been easier if you spelled it “Python.”
You know, Musli, I can walk up to virtually anyone on the planet tomorrow and ask them, “Has a South Asian Mormon ever corrected your English spelling?” They are going to say, “No. There is no such thing as a South Asian Mormon that can spell in English.”
Finally, there is something unique about me.
hee hee
You got him Musli. hehe
You totally made my weekend.
Just out of curiosity – does it piss you off when people refer to you as South Asian Muslihoon? Cause It really seems to tick off Tushar.
Bart doesnt care for it either.
Laura, I want the 4 course Christmas Dinner with appropriate wines on your best China. Musli will be joining me, while Michael sulks with his paper plate in the kitchen. Hope that’s not too much trouble sweetie.
Musli is a South Asian?
Next thing you know Amish will tell me he’s a blond religious guy who wears a lot of black.
I actually prefer South Asian. I’m not really Pakistani, nor am I really Indian – I have ancestors who’ve lived all over the place. So if anything, South Asian is the best.
Unless you want to call me Aryan.
(Many South Asians take great pride in their Indo-European (they call it “Aryan” for linguistic reasons) descent – which isn’t really all that spectacular considering Indo-Europeans span from England to Bhutan.)
“…take great pride in their Indo-European (they call it “Aryan”
eh…you might want to stick with South Asian.
p.s. Ok. Now which is the better song – Donny and Maries “Little Bit Country” or Led Zeppelins “Kashmir?”
Laura, I want the 4 course Christmas Dinner with appropriate wines on your best China.
Dammit, John, you have no tact at all. And your “sweetie” did not sound half as sincere as mine.
Do you have to do a LOT OF HEAVY LIFTING AND STAY ON YOUR FEET ALL FUCKING DAY,
Laura?
I worked in the sequence end of an assembly line.
VERY heavy work, VERY rapid work, and VERY responsible, though we were treated like just one more assemblyman.
I can relate.
Though it wasn’t at all difficult for me, to tell the truth.
OK. As we get closer and closer, the words ‘Christmas’ and ‘December’ are pretty reliable ways to put me in freakout mode. My customers do this to me, but they think they’re just being nice and making conversation;
“Hey Laura, you’re busy season’s coming up, eh!”
Yes, yes it is. Thanks for that burst of stomach acid. I was having a hard time digesting the raw, beating heart of the last guy to do that to me today.
And read a cute joke in the comments section at Hog On Ice this morning:
Never take a Mormon fishing.
Take two.
(If you take one, he’ll drink all your beer.)
Silver bells, silver bells,
Its time to flaaaame
Dave in Texas,
He’s so witty,
Oh so clever,
Has a brand new nice pool,
It cost him a kneecap and some blood loss
Lucy: I’ll give you five good reasons to stop talking about Christmas.
one-two-three-four-five *balling her fist*
Charlie Brown: Those are good reasons.
Not to mention $25K, his yard, and all his spare time maintaining it.
Mus, you are SOOOO snarky. Ugly.
How’s the rash?
