“Give them a break, listen to what they have to say, respect their opinion”

Yep. And while you’re at it head over to the white supremacist Stormfront.org, listen to what they have to say, and respect their opinion too.

Hate is Hate! It does not matter if they had angels flanked on each side of their sign, the message is still the same. You are not welcomed, you are not accepted and you are surely going to hell if you don’t change your ways.

I live in one of the most backward states in our country and trust me when I say that hate still runs rampant in the south!

Joseph Grieb typed: “These people ARE NOT LIKE Fred Phelps and the hate mongers at Westboro Baptist Church. Give them a break, listen to what they have to say, respect their opinion”

Sorry, but I disagree – “these people” are EXACTLY like Phelps. In their “opinion”, girls kissing girls leads to hell. How is that not a hate message? It certainly is a lie.

We HAVE “listen[ed] to what they have to say” and find it repugnant (not to mention anti-American – you remember America don’t you? It used to be a place that ‘promised’ that ALL citizens were equal and had the right to both liberty and the pursuit of happpiness).

Their position is not an opinion WORTH ‘respecting’.

To shizz: It’s not about salvation. It’s about indoctrination. It’s about the pre-recorded tapes of indoctrination being played back in your head. Other lesbians and gays who have also “asked with a sincere heart” have been given an entirely different and positive answer about themselves. You can receive the same answer. Just stop following the path of religion paved by people who don’t like who you are.

I myself have a been a Lesbian for years. However recently I have been convicted to change. Not by what some Christian said but by what God himself has said. No he didn’t come down from heaven and literally speak to me. But I found that when I asked with a sincere heart, the answers where revealed through a)reading the Bible and b)a series of “coincidences“. It was then up to me to choose who I wanted to follow. My desires of the flesh which I know is only temporary…or obedience to God knowing that I will receive my reward in the end. Once you realize the body is naturally going to yearn for things that isn’t necessarily good or right for you. Then you’ll learn the importance of God in your life. This isn’t about religion. It’s about salvation.

There has to be a gay philanthropist or two out there, right? Some rainbow equivalent of the Ford Foundation? For some reason, the words “rent” and “billboard” keep popping into my mind…
