32. Jerk comments? So wanting our leaders NOT to associate with
Bigots who want to kill us makes me a jerk?


Incredible. Is this actually Freeperville?

16. "I can't let off. I didn't call myself -- God called me to do what I do,"
Straight from the "ex-gay" clown himself.

Methinks Pastor Donnie is still on the down-low.

18. I have another quote from him ..
Edited on Tue Jan-08-08 04:33 PM by ronnykmarshall
but I can't post it here.

Let's just say that it was during when La Donnie was engaged in a sexual act with another male, La D was asking the other man about the ownership of a cat.

13. Haven't you heard?
He has to reach out to people who would like to see gays psychologically abused in "reparative therapy" camps in the name of their tyrant god.

It's all very hopeful.

30. Yes, you are right - wanting equal rights and to be treated with dignity is the hallmark of a whiny
extremist.

Seriously, you only make yourself look like a fascist pig with your put down of GLBT equality.

42. Yes. Right after the Al Qaeda Terrorist Band.

And just before the Ku Klux Klan Khoir.

Oh, wait! You did quote the tag line of the National Enquirer. So I guess you already knew what you were posting was ridiculous. So no need of me to pile on.

Barack Obama and Gay Rights in Illinois: Barack Obama supported gay rights during his Illinois Senate tenure. He sponsored legislation in Illinois that would ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

Barack Obama in the United States Senate: Every two years the Human Rights Campaign, the largest national gay and lesbian organization, issues a scorecard for members of the Senate based on their sponsorship and voting on key issues of importance to gay and lesbian citizens. Barack Obama scored 89 out of 100% in the 2006 scorecard.
Here's how HRC rated Barack Obama:
-Barack Obama on Hate Crimes: Barack Obama co-sponsored legislation to expand federal hate crimes laws to include crimes perpetrated because of sexual orientation and gender identity.

-Employment Non-Discrimination: Barack Obama supports the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and believes it should be expanded to include sexual orientation and gender identity.

-Don't Ask, Don't Tell - Gays in the Military: Barack Obama believes we need to repeal the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy and allow gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military. His campaign literature says, "The key test for military service should be patriotism, a sense of duty, and a willingness to serve."

-Gay & Lesbian Adoption: Barack Obama believes gays and lesbians should have the same rights to adopt children as heterosexuals.

-Barack Obama and Gay Marriage/ Civil Unions: Although Barack Obama has said that he supports civil unions, he is against gay marriage. In an interview with the Chicago Daily Tribune, Obama said, "I'm a Christian. And so, although I try not to have my religious beliefs dominate or determine my political views on this issue, I do believe that tradition, and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman."

-Barack Obama did vote against a Federal Marriage Amendment and opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996.

-He said he would support civil unions between gay and lesbian

Obama is hipper than that, he'd probably have Jay-Z and Carrie Underwood.
