Comments on: NC anti-bully bill goes to House http://www.365gay.com/news/nc-anti-bully-bill-goes-to-house/ 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: vanndean http://www.365gay.com/news/nc-anti-bully-bill-goes-to-house/comment-page-1/#comment-55994 vanndean Fri, 08 May 2009 23:21:46 +0000 http://www.365gay.com/?p=7197#comment-55994 *North Carolina’s two Roman Catholic bishops denounced the bill as a prelude to legalizing same-sex marriage. The Christian Action League of North Carolina urged its members to call or send e-mail to their senators telling them to vote against the measure. And the Family Policy Council of North Carolina said that if the bill passed it would lead to the expansion of the state’s hate crime law and anti-discrimination laws to cover gays.* So let me if I understand this. The reason for not passing legislation to prevent bullying in schools, especially for gay kids, is because if they are protected by the law when they are young, they may grow up and realize that it is possible for the law to protect them from adult bullies and they will ask the legislature to "do what is right" as adults and pass anti-discrimination legislation. That sounds, to me, like a good reason to let kids be bullied. So if we let them kill themselves because we don't do anything to help them today, then we will not have to do anything to prevent discrimination against them is the future. Sure seems like a viable way to solve both problems. Mentally unbalanced Idiots! *North Carolina’s two Roman Catholic bishops denounced the bill as a prelude to legalizing same-sex marriage.

Cross your fingers this gets passed. We need less hatred, and more of a better enovirment for ALL of our children, be them gay or straight.

What the hell? I am an atheist, but I know enough to know that *real* Christians would never act this way. Being opposed to marriage is one thing, I can understand that, but this is children we’re talking about. We HAVE to protect our children. Your last statement, I think expresses the crux of the problem. The people who can do this are the same ones that jump to their feet and throw their hands over their hearts when the flag is presented and loudly proclaim "one nation under God" but sort of lose force before they can get to the "liberty and JUSTICE for all" part of the pledge. They have no problem with seeing legislation passed which will protect "our kids" but they don't want to protect gay kids because everyone knows that "christians don't have gay kids". Those gay kids all belong to other people and should not be allowed to associate with "normal" kids. They still have not realized that there are gay kids, and kids with gay parents sitting next to their kids in schools all over this nation. #

They care not for anyone, adult or child, they care only for their cloaked evilness. Because they wave their fantasy book at you doesn't mean they walk the LIGHT. Blessed Be!
