All I can say to those who hate is I forgive you. Some of these people want to preserve their right to discriminate.

2) Obviously Ignorant [by Anonymous on September 9, 2006]
I am so sick and tired of the ignorant argument comparing homosexuality to beastiality, etc. I really have no desire to date my cat!! People who cannot come up with an intelligent argument always revert back to these outright stupid & juvenile comments. I do know this. It is not a choice. Why don't you date someone of your same sex? What?? Don't want to? I guess then it is not a choice. I do know this. I am a taxpaying citizen. I should have the same rights as everyone else. I am also a Lesbian Christian. How is that one for you? My children deserve the same rights as your children. They deserve to have 2 parents that are married. My children are not 2nd class citizens. If I should not have the same rights then I should not be subject to taxation.

3) Temper temper [by Anonymous on June 9, 2006]
You can quote all the junk science that you want. People once believed that the earth was flat too; that didn't make the popular opinion correct.
No one forces an individual to commit acts of depraved sexuality- it is a personal choice. Additionally, if you choose to abuse your libido, you are playing with fire and you will suffer the consequences both temporally and eternally.
