We Gays Have Rights

And there's a passage in Leviticus in the Bible where gay men have to be stoned to death, but so do cows that won't give milk and other discrediting things... I blame xenophobia, ignorance, and intolerance.
We've been over this in a couple of religious threads, but I'll browse for pertinent links.

Yeah, right-wing nuts are so anti-gay marriage that it's pretty much impossible to mention Christianity without the subject of gay marriage comng up. 2000 years of history, war, and theological debates, and the entire culture, in North America at least, has been reduced to "those guys that don't like fags."
And yeah, you should read some of the other threads to see where the board stands.

Don't want a gay bishop to upset my Episcopal church, thank you. If you want to be a gay priest, pick another denomination.

"Reverend Jockstrap Manthrust says that today God wants all the men here to strip naked and jump up and down while he takes pictures.... for Jesus!"
Yeah, I have no problem with a gay guy in my school, in my family, in my work place, and I definately wouldn't have a problem with a gay guy saving my soul, if I were into the whole saving my soul thing, which I guess is why I'm going to hell.
This isn't in response to your ideas Despondent, but from some people I've even heard the idea that gays are constantly looking to queerify straight folks and turn them to the sparkle side. I think it's this idea that really excludes gays from a lot of jobs, the priesthood among them. It's not the gays that bring their alignment into it, it's the biggots sitting their trying to find the complex subliminal homobutt humping messages the preacher is putting into the book of Ronald the Apycroph.

It was a great no holds barred, shoot from Left and Right hips episode. Homer began his ceremony "Queerly beloved..."
got a problem with that?
I have gay friends, I try to understand gays, but I'm not crazy about the "look at MEEEEE" approach they (some) exude. I've argued my points before. Just wanted to chime in for Don.

wait... if priests aren't allowed to have sex anyway... what difference does it make.
if you've taken a vow of celebacy and devoted yourself to god and the church, then you don't really classify as straight or gay for all intents and purposes...
interesting thought.

Priests (male and female) in the Episcopal (Anglican) church ARE allowed to marry. (Marriage defined as blessed union between male and female.) Of course, over the issue of an openly gay bishop, the Anglicans are disassociating with their Episcopal church. I'm almost fed up enough to do so myself.

childmolestation is paedophilia not homosexuality...
guy's who but rape in prison generally aren't gay, they are making do with what they have...
the catholic church is lame for making that shit up about not having sex, because the bible make no such requests...

there are gay guy's who like to talk about being gay like it's important.
just like there alot of women who like to talk alout about being women.
issues...
sometimes i think the stereo type of heterosexual men being the loudest group on earth is fading into the realms of myth.
