You had me at hello.

"skittles!"

good for new york.

i just think it's a shame, that all these years after 1776 people still have to have laws passed in this country to have rights that are already conferred on some citizens.

I think it's a shame that some people (gay and straight) bend over and pay almost 50% of their income to taxes while others pay nothing. And to think those wise people still around in 1776 had protested to a 8.3% tea tax a few years before. LOL

You always turn every thread into an anti-liberal/Democratic rant. Back to the topic...this could be a huge advancement for gay rights, depending on the outcome of the court case in California.

nice segue. :rolleyes:

That unfortunately is the nature of politics, no politician...right or left...is ever in a hurry to take a stand on a controversial issue. Before we blame the politicians however we need to understand that the fact that equal rights is ever a controversial issue says much about society, folks are slow to accept those that they perceive as "different" and old fears lead to hatred and intolerance...the good news is that America is on the right path as uphill as it may be at times.

Good for New York.

Or put them BEHIND!!!!:eek:

Before we beat ourselves up too much consider


Homosexuality is illegal in most African countries. Those who show their gay orientation openly often face violence as well as discrimination.????

How ironic is that? :zz::zz::wf

Dell. Seriously - please go google:

C Street Kenya Homosexual Congressman Chris Smith

And get back to us about what you find. The irony regarding intolerance towards homosexuality in certain African countries, and it's relationship to "christian" American government officials, will astound you, I'm sure.

When Chris Smith starts calling for gays to be killed then I'll put him in the same league. Until then he's just an ignorant fossil.

And once again, you've proven that you haven't got a clue what you are talking about.

i've read this post twice and still don't quite grasp what your point was in posting this. what has kenya to do with the u.s. or with new york and it's recent move forward?

and by the way, i think we should be a leader in pushing rights for all. i'm embarrassed that other countries are further along than we are regarding rights for some individuals.

Show me!

Where did Chris Smith ever call for gays to be killed?

Ever?

Or is disagreeing with the right for gays to marry equal to murder in your mind?

You can't justify intolerance by pointing to greater intolerance by others, what ignorant folks in other countries do has nothing to do with what ignorant folks in this country do. Westboro homophobia isn't as "bad" as radical Muslim homophobia...obviously but so what?

It's the self-loathing I can't stand. A few decades ago we were a proud, great country and now after we've progressed even further we're a bunch a racists and bigots? We are arguably the most diverse, tolerant country in the world and of course we have Westboro fools but overall we're doing just fine especially considering how young a country we are.

We need to stop self-analyzing in search of guilt and get back to work. We need a President who understands private business and citizens come ahead of government programs, who puts residents of Joplin MO ahead of Taliban leaders’ bribes, and who understands we are part of the people of the world, not their provider. And considering the money that has been plundered the last 2 1/2 years the last thing we need now is to raise the debt ceiling. Time to start answering those debt collectors' calls and get straight. We've done enough and should be loved not hated for it.
