‘Invisible And Overlooked’

Judas kissed Jesus on the cheek, not the mouth. And he hanged himself. It is different.

I find it so interesting that there are so many points of view on this topic and just how divided we are. It actually makes me smile to see debate like this going back and forth. I'm enjoying reading this.

Leave the Bible out of it? No Thanks! It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God. Those who don't obey him are going to be like the folks in Noah's day who did not believe the flood was coming and when the waters rose up, they perished, outside of protection, beyond hope, crying out when it was too late. Woe unto those who have been warned, you won't feel so smart when the end comes. Yes, it matters!

gay lifestyle causes death? I hope the writer knows that lesbians have the lowest AIDS risk of anybody else.

Thank you for this insightful article. Members of the LGBT community are entitled to the same protections as those in the heterosexual community. Um...the last time that I checked, there is a little thing known as separation of church and state. You cannot justify discriminating against gays using religious rhetoric--they are purely straw arguments. I really wish that america would educate her citizens much better--maybe a mandatory conlaw class (let's talk about equal protection and Loving). Oh, I forgot, education is for elitists. I am disgusted by all of the cowards and hate-mongers lurking on this board. Judgment will come for them too. Stupidity will not save you.

Without God, everything is possible. The gays are only too willing to speak that homosexuality is a "normal" natural part of life. They do this because it is the easiest way to hide their shame. By making a wrong a right and either denying there is a God or construing that he is 'all merciful', it frees them to satisfy their own disgusting pleasures.

What kind of country do you people live in? The United States of America was a country founded on SECULAR principles. It was a country for the FREE. It was a country to escape religious PERSECUTION. How dare you become what the founding father's tried to escape? The English were escaping a country that prohibited their religious choice. And by their religious choice, they were forbidding many other rights, including homosexuality. All of your opinions against gay marriage are clearly heard. But, legally, God and the Bible have no more right to be a part of the government than Muhammad and the Quran.
Don't believe me?
Look up the word secular. Maybe you've seen it on your money, if you pay that close of attention to the "country you love."

OLD PERVERTS. I GUESS WITH AGE SOME PEOPLE NEVER LEARN.

Good thought, Start One. So very true.

There is a genetic AND social aspect to being gay, anyone who thinks otherwise is simply being obstinate.

For what it is worth, I think skirting the issue will not solve it. The whole point of the article seems to be that those "couples" that are not traditionally married, are not afforded the same rights, and this causes issues with the elderly that are in that position. I don't see why giving them the same rights would harm anyone or anything.
As for the "gay" thing, I am not sure about taking sides on this issue directly. But I do have a question of all that posted here referring to the Bible in their posts. Have you ever actually researched the Bible, to see what the original Scrolls said, as compared to the version given to us by the European monks? I, in my humble opinion, believe our religious leaders need to go back and retranslate the original Scrolls so that all could see how we have been being misled over the years. It is amazing to find out how much of what we see in the current versions of the Bible is not a direct translation of what was actually written on the Dead Sea Scrolls. And, for those that wonder, I was raised Catholic, and do consider myself a Christian. Part of being Catholic is verifying your belief in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. In so doing I am verifying that I will hold to the New Testament. And as Jesus said in the New Testament, "Put away the old, and I give you two new commandments, Love your God above all else, and love your neighbor as yourself." Yes, this may have also been mistranslated, but even so, these are definitely words to live by.

Why should it matter what sexual orientation you are? I believe that as long as you are happy in life with whoever it may make you happy, then it shouldn't matter if you're homosexual or heterosexual. This just goes to show you the ignorance in this country.
