Gays @ MindSay

Know that someone hears your voice , who listens and understands.
Someone who does not judge you but supports your right to love whom you please.
Know that someone cries for you and hates the discrimination shown to you.
Take comfort that there are those of us willing to fight for your rights as citizen and a human being.
Those willing to stand and say "No , we will not tolerate intolerance!"
In my life I have seen hate and bigotry towards blacks and other minorities. I have seen women treated as slaves, sex objects and trash to be discarded. I have seen the poor shunned , I have seen the mentally impaired or retarded
locked away and I have seen the elderly deserted and forgotten.
If I stand not against these things, then I stand not at all but fail miserably as a decent human being. For those that sit by and watch, it is if they have partaken in the hate by their silence , neglecting to cry out to defend those being discriminated against!
Each night as I kiss my husband goodnight I am so thankful that the world allows me to love and be with this man I love so much! When I see your plight I realize how each time I hold his hand and walk down the street without judgment or stares from strangers that you do not receive this courtesy. I can not imagine the pain and loneliness you must sometimes feel!
But know that you can count on my support till the fight is over! I will march, vote, sign petitions and do what ever it takes to help you obtain the right that other humans have to marry the person you love and to adopt children!
I hope that I will live to see the day that "We wouldn't be judged for who we loved but whether we loved at all".
I asked my husband if he would watch "Milk" with me. It's stars Sean Penn and is the story of one of Americas first openly gay politicians Harvey Milk. He said "Ok" with a big sigh.
I got to thinking , you know, it might not be such a good idea to watch Milk with him. Even though he believes in total equality for everyone, he can't stand to see people of the same sex interacting intimately.Not even just holding hands or kissing.
But wait, I wonder why can he watch movies of war, indifference, killing, raping , brutalizing, chop em up,dice em and slice em up , string em up and hang em high, blood , guts and gore and never bat an eye but to see two people (of the same sex) sharing a moment of love or intimacy makes him "uneasy"?
What makes some people able to handle gore, death, pain and brutality but uncomfortable with love? Is society "totally twisted"?
One word that stirs up a whole bunch of heated debate.
I have a view point, a theory on homosexuality, that usually pisses of both sides of the debate.
From the Christian standpoint, no one is born homosexual. I disagree. I believe that the majority of homosexuals are born that way.
Fellow Christians, please read the rest of the blog before you send me your responses.
From the homosexual point of view they are born that way and there is nothing wrong with it. I disagree. While I do believe most homosexual's are born that way, that doesn't mean it's okay. People are born with all kinds of things, some that take a while to manifest. Such as diabetes, schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, cancer, cleft palate, etc., etc. The point being that not everything we are born with is a good thing.
And much like the diabetic has to choose whether or not to eat sugar or die, and the schizophrenic has to choose whether or not to take their medications or have a horrible existence, the homosexual has to choose whether or not to participate in a homosexual lifestyle that will guarantee them a one way ticket to hell.
God made Adam and Eve. Period. A man and a man or a woman and a woman simply do not fit well together. It is that simple. It is not about who can have children, or who can hire the biggest lobbyist to ram it down our throats under the guise of acceptance and tolerance.
Guess what folks? It is okay not to accept and tolerate everything. I don't have to and neither do you. Some of you will have great issue with this blog and will not accept it or tolerate it. And that is perfectly fine.
The issue is when the line is crossed. I have the right to say that I think homosexuality is wrong and here are the reasons why. I have the right to say I believe gay marriage to be wrong and here is why. What I do not have the right to do is take some one's home because they are gay, or beat them up, or take their money from them, etc, etc.
And conversely, a person that disagrees with me does not have the right to bash me or take things from me either.
That is where the line is and unfortunately people on both sides of this issue routinely cross that line.

Congratulations, tolerance mau-mauers: Your shakedown of a Christian-targeted dating website worked. Homosexuals will no longer be denied the inalienable "right" to hook up with same-sex partners on eHarmony. What a landmark triumph for social progress, eh?
New Jersey plaintiff Eric McKinley can now crown himself the new Rosa Parks -- heroically breaking down inhumane barriers to Internet matchmaking by forcing a law-abiding private company to provide services it was never created to provide. "Men seeking men" has now been enshrined with "I have a dream" as a civil rights rallying cry of the 21st century. Bully for you, Mr. McKinley. You bully.
Neil Warren, eHarmony's founder, is a gentle, grandfatherly businessman who launched his popular dating site to support heterosexual marriage. A "Focus on the Family" author with a divinity degree, Warren encourages healthy, lasting unions between men and women of all faiths, mixed faiths or no faith at all.
Don't like what eHarmony sells? Go somewhere else. There are thousands upon thousands of dating sites on the Internet that cater to gays, lesbians, Jews, Muslims, Trekkies, runners, you name it.
No matter. In the name of tolerance, McKinley refused to tolerate eHarmony's right to operate a lawful business that didn't give him what he wanted. He filed a discrimination complaint against eHarmony with the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights in 2005.
To be clear: eHarmony never, ever refused to do business with anyone. The company broke no laws. Their great "sin" was not providing a politically correct service that a publicity-seeking gay plaintiff demanded they provide. For three years, the company battled McKinley's legal shakedown artists -- and staved off other opportunists as well. The dating site had been previously sued by a lesbian looking to force the company to match her up with another woman, and by a married man who ridiculously sought to force the company to find him prospects for an adulterous relationship.
This case is akin to a meat-eater suing a vegetarian restaurant for not offering him a rib-eye, or a female patient suing a vasectomy doctor for not providing her hysterectomy services. But rather than defend the persecuted business, the New Jersey attorney general intervened on behalf of the gay plaintiff and wrangled an agreement out of eHarmony to change its entire business model.
The company agreed not only to offer same-sex dating services on a new site, but also to offer six-month subscriptions for free to 10,000 gay users, pay McKinley $5,000 and fork over $50,000 to New Jersey's Civil Rights division "to cover investigation-related administrative costs." Oh, and that's not all. Yield, yield to the grievance-mongers:
Additional terms of the settlement include:
-- eHarmony, Inc. will post photos of same-sex couples in the "Diversity" section of its website as successful relationships are created using the company's same-sex matching service. In addition, eHarmony, Inc. will include photos of same-sex couples, as well as individual same-sex users, in advertising materials used to promote its same-sex matching services;
Page 2 of 2
-- eHarmony, Inc. will revise anti-discrimination statements placed on company websites, in company handbooks and other company publications to make plain that it does not discriminate on the basis of "sexual orientation";
-- the company has committed to advertising and public relations/ marketing dedicated to its same-sex matching service, and will retain a media consultant experienced in promoting the "fair, accurate and inclusive" representation of gay and lesbian people in the media to determine the most effective way of reaching the gay and lesbian communities.
I have enormous sympathy for eHarmony, whose attorney explained that they gave in to the unfair settlement because "litigation outcomes can be unpredictable." The recent mob response to the passage of Proposition 8, the traditional marriage measure in California, must have also weighed on eHarmony management's minds. But capitulation will only yield a worse, entirely predictable outcome: more shakedowns of private businesses that hold views deemed unacceptable by the Equality-at-All-Costs Brigade.
Perhaps heterosexual men and women should start filing lawsuits against gay dating websites and undermine their businesses. Coerced tolerance and diversity-by-fiat cut both ways.
