Saying something negative about homosexuals, doesn't automatically make you a bigot.

Yes, actually, it does,

Really..if I say that some gay guys are really aggressive and intimidating towards women (which through personal experience, some are), that makes me a bigot?

I support gay marriage, but I am welcoming the thought of less-crowded beaches this summer.

I'm glad you pulled this post back up, PP. Can you imagine someone saying outright, "Saying something negative about Jews/Blacks/Koreans doesn't automatically make you a bigot."

Sorry, first PP, but saying something negative about a gay person ("Joe is such a gossip. I can't stand that guy!") doesn't make you a bigot. Saying something negative about an entire class of people ("Homos are a bunch of nasty pervs") does make you a bigot.

Was your reservation for a group house? How many does it sleep? Was it by chance around the 4th of July week? Please post details; we're having a hard time finding something that week...

Why do we keep calling it "gay marriage" - isn't it just marriage?

And I love how we sign our names -

Signed -

A white, hetrosexual, married women, with brown hair and brown eyes, maybe 5'6 and 5-6 lbs overweight, I like rainbows and puppydogs, I wear size 7.5 shoes but sometimes lie about wearing 7 and have freckles on my nose and have a brown cockerspaniel and a 2.5 year old and I just finished eating a poptart.

Does that make my opinion on marriage more relevant then yours? I think the fact that I had a poptart for breakfast does.

OMG, you eat poptarts?

I'm sure it was a difficult decision to make, but I'm proud of you! It's wonderful when people stand up for their principles to help rid our country of inequality and bigotry.

DH and I are in the process of deciding if/where we should move. We had been looking very seriously at a few cities in North Carolina. As of yesterday, we completely crossed NC off of our list.

Could you be a little more condescending, please?

This makes no sense.

Why not move there so you can add more people who believe in marriage equality?

It's all about context people. Stop thinking in such a narrow-minded fashion.

You read condescending, I read that OP did something really cool. She put her money where her mouth is, and she deserves recognition. It's easy to sit around and bitch about things, but it takes some actual balls/ovaries to take action. I think she's awesome and I'm proud of her. If you don't like it, that's really your own problem and not mine.

That’s fine, I suppose – but are you consistent? Do you believe on the Bible’s stance on everything, with no room for negotiation? Slavery? The roles of women in society? Penalties for infidelity?

I suspect the answer to that question is no, of course you don't believe strictly with EVERYTHING the Bible says. So how do you pick and choose? Why do you support some Bible stances unconditionally and not others? Do you think homosexuality is more evil than slavery? The subjugation of women?

My point is not to attack you, but to illustrate that the reason many Christians and other religious people oppose gay marriage is NOT because the Bible says so - the Bible says a lot of things are anachronisms. That's just camouflage - a fig leaf to cover up the fact that the individuals in question, for some reason, are opposed to gay marriage and homosexuality.

If you are talking about OT laws, then no I don't follow them. Christians follow the NT.

Cuz that OT is just so outdated, huh?

Because we're not willing to give our hard-earned tax dollars to the bigots of North Carolina and we're not willing to raise our children in such an atmosphere.

Uhmm, no, but it *kinda* helps to follow the NT, if you a Christian.
