It's not discrimination or Homophobia...

This is in response to a news story "Lesbian Kiss Sparks Controversy at Seattle Mariners' Ballpark" as reported on Fox News.

I'm really sick of hearing pro-gay-anything people painting anti-gay-everything people as homophobic or discriminatory. What's so hard about understanding that some people believe, as taught by their religion, that it's simply wrong? These same people claim that the church is commanded by Christ to love everyone equally, but completely ignore the lessons of Sodom and Gomorrah - both of which were cities in the Old Testament that were destroyed by the wrath of God for their immorality - in particular homosexual acts.

And by the way, the lesson of Christ was to forgive people their sins, not to endorse those sins as acceptable, alternative lifestyles. Love the sinner, abhor the sin.

Trust me, I am about as far from being a religious man an one can be. To be perfectly honest, I really couldn't care less that people do in their own bedrooms. What really cranks me up in this arena is the dishonest manner in which people of faith are portrayed as hate-filled freaks. What baffles me is why you never see any anti-gay person being interviewed on television making this point. They all cave to the pressure of leaving their faith out of the conversation when that is exactly the reason that they have the opinions for which they are being interviewed.

And somebody please answer this for me: Why is it that the Left, for all their rhetoric about  tolerance, acceptance and peace, is always the group most willing to stop at nothing - including violence and murder - to force everyone to accept their way of thinking?

When children are present I don't really want to see any couple heavily making out. It's called class.

My only experience as a parent w/a gay couple was at Disneyworld. My daughter was about four and still low to the ground. As we were approaching a bridge, taller me saw a gay couple holding hands as they too approached the bridge from the other side. When they saw we had a wee one w/us, they casually dropped hands and any 'situation' avoided. Had she noticed two guys holding hands and questioned why, I would probably tell her that this is Disneyland and every one is happy to be here to share the magic w/their friends. No biggie.

I don't have a problem w/"Gay" people. They should be allowed to commit & be able to adopt children just like "Straight" people. It is the 21st Century. There are far too many children in need of loving homes.

Any couple should have the good sense not to practically make it in front of kids at family events. Didn't your parents raise you properly?

I agree with MO you just don't make out in public period.

If I believe what I was taught in my religon we are in our last days...(I can't believe I'm saying this :o) It will become like Sodom and Gomorrah again. It makes me think when I hear of teacher after teacher having sex with our kids. Pretty sick, just not right, not sex with children and not sex with the same sex. Just not right and that is my opinion.

About me is a computer, printer, shelf, chest of drawers and a bed. About that are more rooms with more stuff, and about that, a cacophony of apartments, businesses, houses, vehicles, plants, and enough sand to make a sandbox for every child in the Midwest - with plenty leftover. Amongst all this aboutness are dozens, hundreds, thousands - even millions of nameless, faceless people, quietly milling about their lilliputian lives. OK, some aren't all that quiet. In the midst of it all we find me. Of no more significance than the others, perhaps, except that by electing to share my consciousness with you, I am bigger than my self.
