My heart BLEEDS at the thought of a “church” in turmoil (yeah right) I hope the bastards sue each other into the poorhouse.

@Don Roberts–You don’t see how the Church of the Holy Wackjob is a gay news story? Then maybe you need to learn a little more about Coral Ridge. That church seems to think it can dictate public policy in Ft Lauderdale and Broward County, things like doing everything it can to keep government in gay bedrooms. Is that enough of a gay news story for you? Or how about the former CEO of AOL, Steve Case (this is back when AOL mattered), leaving the impression that his family’s involvement with that church could also have an impact on content policy at a (then-)primary internet provider? Does that make the cut? How about when there was a scandal about local politicians–some involved with the church–getting caught on camera with a cop, whose husband was a voyeur with a video camera. When those same politicians ramble on about morality, including gays being immoral, does that meet your threshold of gay content?

…“They spelled out some vague complaints… but they didn’t ask for any modification of anything. They just asked to sign a petition to sever this…relationship…,” Ashcraft said. “It’s hard to negotiate with people like that.”

Gosh! sure sounds like something that we have been saying about their entire attack on the GLBT community!
Funny, that small, closed minds will even fight among themselves, even when they can’t tell you why they are fighting. 4000 years of religious fighting in the middle east and no one has yet to figure out the problem with religion? We have a microcosm of the problem and it is right down in Ft. Lauderdale! I say let them fight and splinter! At least then the GLBT community can laugh at them as the self destructive hateful idiots that they are showing themselves to be.

Okay, now maybe we can move on, culturally and in all other ways and rank and rate and judge these people on what they’re on these shows for in the first place–they’re talent. It would be/will be nice if/when we can be post-everything–post-racial, everything. We need to just look at the individual and/or their work and not judge what color they are or what sexual preference they have or how tall they are or whatever.

“Post-everything.”

I like it.

This can be a good opportunity for the Coral Ridge church to examine their attitudes toward LGBT people. Churches have two choices. They can respond to the call of Christ to bring ALL people unto Him, or they can follow the sad story of the church in America and some other parts of the world by continuing to exclude people and separate people from Christ through racism, sexism and homophobia/transphobia. For this reason, this event IS important for many of us who are Gay and Christian.

The last time I looked this was a gay website for news and information relating to our lives. How does a conservative right wing Christian church’s issues affect us? Are they too busy with internal politics to bash us? I think not….just give them an issue or a scapegoat and we’ll still be in their bullseye.

I wonder if these dissenters are getting thier orders from the Republican party and the way they are disrupting the townhall meetings? It just goes to show that people like this only want one way, thiers and all others be damned. I guess they are as far as they are concerned.
