danielost Posted April 23, 2009 #76 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Or how bout, if your a discriminatory piece of sh!t then your evil. Stop livin' in the past its a new generation. I know many religious people that love gay people and actively support gay marriage. <-- These are people that think for themselves Ive seen many religious people that are just sheep to their faith and blindly support the "seperate but equal" old-school beliefs, and of course you have those that are still saying "god hates fags" <-- these are religious people that live off hate and discrimination because they are brainwashed by fear of people that are different or not their defenition of " normal" Your right so stop discriminating against those who believe in God.

Great way to get your point across. This isn't about gay marriage or gay rights being right or wrong. It's really about a person expressing their opinion, when they were specifically asked, "What do you think?" And then being vilified for it. Sure, that opinion is similar to the majority of Americans opinions, but sure, she should be vilified because a small segment of society feels differently about it... Face it, there is debate about the propriety of "gay marriage", and all of the pro's and con's do NOT revolve around religion. There are an assortment of social, economic, and even constitutional issues at hand, but as long as people keep on screaming "God hates fags" or "Christians are discriminatory pieces of sh!t", no one is going to get anywhere. And that's what I see here. Actually, what I see is even worse. No one can say "God hates fags" here, but it's OK to say Christians are discriminatory pieces of sh!t. That's the political climate out there right now, even here on UM. You can hate a Christian, and the media cheers you on, but dislike an AGENDA pushed by SOME homosexuals, and you are instantly VILIFIED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it strange if you do not hold the PC view than you are branded as religious zealot and are therefore an intolerant bigot. Same sex marriage is social issues not necessary a religious issue, as there are as many Christians divided by the issue as there are non religious people divided. For evidence of this I recommend advocates of such stop by their local truck stop or biker bar and find out how receptive they are to the issue. I guarantee at least you will not be preached at.

No. This is the USA. Christians, muslims, and other religious people that still support seperate but equal beliefs in my opinion, are living in the past. Would I go as far as call them evil?

Plainbob13 Posted April 23, 2009 #82 Share Posted April 23, 2009 It shouldn't matter if most of the men who work the pageants are gay. Bottom line is this, she has the right to her opinion and if "Perez" didn't want to hear the truth, he never should have asked her such a RIDICULOUS question in the first place. Geez! I remember when freedom of speech was a right. Now it's an act of bravery if you speak at all. Pfft! The beauty pageants are hardly a forum where such politics should even be brought up, in my opinion. Should I go duck now because I've expressed it? WELL SAID! :clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rastaman Posted April 23, 2009 #83 Share Posted April 23, 2009 (edited) So for 50+ years it was okay to shun and belittle people who supported gays for BASIC civil rights, and now that the tables have turned a full 360, people are whining and crying that christians are getting unfair treatment by the media. You can dish it out for 50+ years but you cant fkin' take it. Atleast the media is finally on the right side.

The latest one is including all religions. I have never heard a christian ask some one what they believe and then tell them to shut up you b----- becouse they didn't like the answer said person gave.

Rastaman Posted April 23, 2009 #88 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Look at it this way, If anyone on public T.V. says something slightly racist against blacks, the nation is up in arms. Its still sort of sensitive. With the whole gay thing being very new compared to black civil rights, you can only expect it to be highly sensitive aswell. Do you get what im saying?

Siara Posted April 23, 2009 #89 Share Posted April 23, 2009 If they didn't want her honest opinion they shouldn't have asked. I have seen this over and over again over the last few years, the loud minority is going to force everyone else to see and think their way The only majority that disapproves of gay marriage is the over 65 crowd. Younger people approve of it by a huge margin. So reconcile yourself to the fact that it's going to happen. And stop thinking of yourself as part of the great silent moral majority. You aren't. Right now it's about 50%/50% and the percentage of "nay's" is dropping with every day someone dies of old age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleomenes Posted April 23, 2009 #90 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Can you be any more dramatic? The media is calling her answer controversial and thats exactly what it is. Controversial. Did I mention anything about "the media"? Perez Hilton, the judge who asked her the question, is calling her a "b****". Several Hollywood figures have condemned her answer, yet these same people are silent when other Hollywood figures cuddle-up with characters like Hugo Chavez or other people who are actually bad. If you can show me similar outrage from the Hollywood crowd to Chavez's numerous anti-democratic actions or Castro's imprisonment of dissidents, I may concede that they're deserving of a modicum of respect. Good hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my mother was a teenager, her grandmother was FURIOUS that her sister married an italian. Its just so stupid & silly. It was a transitional period when young italians & irish people began to get married and their grandparent's generation was absolutely FURIOUS. The same thing is going on here with Gay Marriage, older generation clinging onto their beliefs (because you know people dont change), and the younger generation paving the way for the next transition in the right direction.

Even faster me thinks. When I was a teen and yes into my mid 20's I was a huge bigot towards the gay community and I spewed hate all the time about them. Then I grew up and my ways changed dramaticly. The acceptance of the gay community will only gain more momentum as people like me wake up and grow up. I think in 10-15 years acceptance won't even be questioned as it will be an accepted norm.

__Kratos__ Posted April 23, 2009 #99 Share Posted April 23, 2009 By your logic any one that eats a clam is sinning. It's boorish and absurd. None of it is based on any logic or tid-bit of reality. Your obsession with other peoples sins via hypocrisy are, as I said, old and tired. If they didn't use those parts of the bible to justify their bigotry, I wouldn't bring it up... It would seem that if you use it to form your opinions, it would be reverent to bring up to question... I was watching the news last night and was too lazy to go over and get the remote during the interview to turn off her friend on Greta and she was saying that the part of the contest this came up in wasn't suppose they were to be judged on their opinion but on their speech abilities and how they could phrase a question, is that true anybody? Because if it is, that puts this into a whole different ball game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times has a gay marriage vote or anti-gay marriage vote of some sort been floated by various states? And how many have been passed or blocked in FAVOR of gay marriage? Hell, even California couldn't do it! Massachusetts, an absolute bastion of left wing progressive liberalism can't do it (right). It may very well be just a matter of time. And that's fine. Just quit blaming it on religion. I wish all voters had to write a one paragraph sentence on WHY they voted the way they did... Good post ST. I bet it was more than growing up too.
