‘Invisible And Overlooked’

I don't have a problem with the gay/lesbian community, But what i do have a problem with is that they, or muslim or atheists, etc, are asking for, and receiving recognition. But how come as a believer and lover of Jesus Christ, we have to "shut up" on the job or it is grounds for being fired or disciplined? Yet a muslim is allowed to leave work for prayer sessions throughout the day. Yet my employer won't let a handful of us have a Bible study in the breakroom OFF the clock. You want us to be open minded, yet those of us who live as Christians, don't get to "come out of the closet" without being persecuted. GLBTs are way more accepted today than that of a believer. Is this being open minded?

What in the world are you talking about. Rights of gays and moral judgement? I have rights because i am a human being so do they. I dont have specials rights for any other reason. Thats what you are all asking for.
It's not going to happen you know why? YOUR WRONG...

Keep your sick religious views (homosexuality is a sin) out of public policy; I know separation of church and state has been violated like never before in the last 8 years, but it is still part of the constituion. I feel sorry for people who are so provincial and dull-minded that they can't use their own common sense and intelligence to sort out issues. They can't think for themselves so they turn into moonies following an archaic set of rules about what is right and wrong; religions created in ancient times to control the masses. If there was a god, he would want you to use the brain he gave you...use it.

well,in this day and age of enlightment it sure is disturbing to read people posting such hatred against their fellow man or woman

hey love this stuff......the only thing my breath smells like is your wife or girlfriends vagina....I'm sure someone else is nailing her since your weiner is so small

hey higgy....have fun sticking some dude's weiner in your butt....gross

This comment is in response to gettthepoint. First of all, I hope you have intelligence enough to know that HIV and Aids are just as prominent in heterosexual relationships and can be spread by other means such as blood transfusions and through open wounds that come in contact with a carrier. The point of the article is simply the fact that gays and lesbians who lose a partner are left in a less secure situation than those in
heterosexual relationships. The question to ask is why should a loving couple who have built their life together
for 10, 15 or 20 years have to be left with less security than anyone else simply because society wants to put
labels on their relationship? That is absolutely obsured. No one judges you because you may have fallen in
love with a black man or woman or because she is blonde, brunette, Jewish etc... We do not choose the person our hearts draw us to. Why should you or Geoerge W. be concerned with the morality of what I am doing with my life? Everyone that walks the earth is a sinner and if you disagree you are a hypercrite. If loving someone is a sin, so be it, but it is between MY GOD and ME, not anyone else. I believe if you read the Bible judging others is not your job and hatred is not a very Christian thing either.

The issue here is the same for every American, not just the gay and lesbian population, Every US citizen has the right to employment where they are qualified to work without unfair working conditions, to live in any neighborhood or walk any street without fear, and to have the same rights and access to the same pubic services. But you do not have to be homosexual to know that this isn't the case. Nor do you have to be to have known what disrespect, unfair and unjust treatment and lack of 'public recognition' is. Every person knows what it is like to be left by the wayside while it seems everyone else gets 'theirs'. Grow up and see that it is happening everywhere and quit whining about it as if the gay community are the only poor souls that know what bad is.

The bible was created to control the masses by the church. Which really meant the church controlled the wealth and power. Whoever believes in the bible can not at the same time believe in logic and science and independent thought. The bible is in direct opposition to logic, not to mention full of it's own contradictions. Demeaning homosexuality with biblical passages is like denying the existence of volcanoes by quoting mashed potatoes.

I was wondering if anyone who has commented on this article has ever met God? Have you talked to him recently? I'm going to go ahead and answer for you, NO! Heres a thought, maybe God isn't the bigot and hateful thing that some of you make him or her out to be. If you're a bigot, be a bigot but don't hide behind this false idea that God agrees with you. And don't use a comeback like "it's in the bible, so I'm right". Ignorant.

There are other factors involved other than those stated in the Bible. It has been well documented and research has shown that children of same sex parents do not have the same positive/normal traits as that of opposite sex parents. A boy needs a father figure and a girl needs a mom. Not two moms and two dads. The whole concept of sam sex marriage is not good. Personally I can care less of what two people do in the private life but please do not go around pretending that you dillusional lifestyle is good for your children. It's not and there is plenty non-biased documentation to prove this.

If I had my head as far up my ass as you bible beating churchies I bet all I would see is *** too.
this is a very depressing world as it is you can't be happy for two people who have found love.
you're probably just pissed because your own lovelife sux. I'm sorry you bigots have nothing better to do than ridicule others. I'm sorry the world has to be so F'ed up as to hate someone because of theyre love. you should get a life.
