Comments on: Maine Pediatricians Urge Voters to Reject Question 1 http://www.365gay.com/news/maine-pediatricians-urge-voters-to-reject-question-1/ The daily news source for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:11:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: Draigh Lunara http://www.365gay.com/news/maine-pediatricians-urge-voters-to-reject-question-1/comment-page-1/#comment-73446 Draigh Lunara Wed, 23 Sep 2009 16:13:32 +0000 http://www.365gay.com/?p=9748#comment-73446 This is wonderful news indeed! Of course there are some who would say that the science and reasoning behind this doesn't change what their Bible says about the subject. This is a weak arguement considering they have changed thier stance on subjects such as: eating pork and shellfish, stoning children for disobedience, women wearing long hair and skirts, men being clean shaven, etc, etc, etc. All becuase the science and reasoning have changed over the centuries. BUT they cannot change their perspective on homosexuality for the same reasons. Talk about being hypocritical and narrow minded. May Goddess Bless Those Who Learn and Grow! Blessed Be, Rev.

Please don't compare our side telling facts, even if hard hitting, with the lies from the christianistas. Yes they say things that are not true and stir up the innocent and ignorant. We can be hard hitting, incite fear (where warranted) and maintain the high ground. How about an ad where a girl comes home from school and instead of saying "today I learned I can marry a princess" saying "today I was told by the school nurse that your signature isn't good enough as you are not a parent of mine. I thought you were my mommy, do I have to move out?" They should run ads where a child is on a gurney being rushed to the emergency room and have the door slam shut in front of the parent. Have a nurse come out with a big cross around her neck and coldly tell the parent that she cannot see her child and its too late anyway, already died. We should not be timid as we always are. We should publish names of bigots, we should scare good people by these scenarios. GOOD PEOPLE are being told we don't need to marry....show them why that is untrue.

Congratulations for Pediatricians for standing up to be counted. They will catch a lot of flack for doing so, but this cannot change the fact that they are experts who know what is good for the welfare and lives of children.

Will someone PLEASE make this ad? I have no desire to be as putrescently deceitful as the right, but I have no problems using their guilt tactics in the context of actual fact. I mean it works for them why the hell aren't we doing it?
