I have plenty to say against this abomination, but I would be preaching to the choir.

The Courage Campaign is working to fight it.

Lol that actually made me laugh.
Sigh...they have freewill, leave them too it and leave this up to God to sort out and forgive every last one of them I say...Theyre just misguided, in the same way that they believe we are misguided. Who is correct we will find out on the day of judgement when wisdom is proved right by her actions.
I cant help feel were on the winning side.

Gives a whole new meaning to "Pissing into the wind" I'm pretty sure those folks "got some on them".

Smile Gay Marriage

I guess anyone who does NOT conform to anything that fundamentalist Christians and the Religious Right believe is normal and acceptable behavior for a Christian (meaning fundamentalist, not liberal or mainstream ideals) is classified as subhuman, huh? Slaves, African-Americans, Jews, women, unborn children (yes, I oppose abortion, but I do NOT support the idea that women should be denied control over their own bodies), gays and lesbians, etc, are all classified as subhuman by these so-called Christians (except for unborn children) just because they are all different and don't conform to the so-called "American ideal." I admit, however, that these very same fundamentalist Christians don't seem to care much for the infant after the infant is born, because they don't support any of the social service programs that care for the poor, the needy, and the homeless. I would suggest, then, that the poor, the needy, and the homeless would also be catagorized as subhuman, too, huh? What is Christian love when you focus on groups of people you believe are threats to society because they are different and don't conform or agree with your agenda while totally ignoring the real needs and issues of society, which is to care for and seek justice for those who are oppressed? Makes you wonder, doesn't it, what these fundamentalist Christians and the Religious Right movement are really after? YIKES!!!!!

This is definitely my favorite response Daniel, thank you.

I agree with u-dog about almost feels like we should be thanking NOM, these responses are far more powerful than their original ad.

Default Washington State Moves Closer TO Equality

Just a week or so ago my state has passed legislation for same sex couples to enjoy more rights. However, PROP 71 (if it gets enough signatures) will be on the ballot in November and take away many of these rights. We move one step further to equality and they (those people) try to move us back.:disa gree:

They called is the 'everything but marriage' bill or law or whatever. I was surprised we couldn't just skip to equal marriage rights, but it's a good start.
