The following against homosexuality is just a small part of the 2010 State Republican Party Platform in Texas.
Read the following:
Homosexuality – We believe that the practice of homosexuality tears at the fabric of society, contributes to the breakdown of the family unit, and leads to the spread of dangerous, communicable diseases. Homosexual behavior is contrary to the fundamental, unchanging truths that have been ordained by God, recognized by our country’s founders, and shared by the majority of Texans. Homosexuality must not be presented as an acceptable “alternative” lifestyle in our public education and policy, nor should “family” be redefined to include homosexual “couples.” We are opposed to any granting of special legal entitlements, refuse to recognize, or grant special privileges including, but not limited to: marriage between persons of the same sex (regardless of state of origin), custody of children by homosexuals, homosexual partner insurance or retirement benefits. We oppose any criminal or civil penalties against those who oppose homosexuality out of faith, conviction, or belief in traditional values.
Malawi’s president, Bingu wa Mutharika, pardoned a Gay couple who had been sentenced to 14 years in prison after their conviction on charges of unnatural acts and gross indecency.
President wa Mutharika does not support rights for the homosexual community and neither does his country. However, as a humanitarian, he released them with no conditions.
We hope this injustice and international attention to Malawi will enlighten the closed minded citizens of Malawi and other countries that find us’ unnatural.’ We wish the couple Steven Monjeza and Tiwonge Chimbalanga a future with no fear and love.
With very surprising words, Maggie Gallagher has stepped down from her post as president.
“I have some very good news to announce for you today: NOM has a new president. Today, the board of NOM announced that we are promoting Brian Brown, who you all know as NOM’s capable and charismatic executive director, to the position of President of NOM.”
These are the following statements that we do take personally because his words are hurtful, and weighted with a heavy punch only an person of absolute hate could have. This person we are talking about is Mike Huckabee, former Governor of Arkansas and potential US President candidate in 2012 (Yikes).
“I feel homosexuality is an aberrant, unnatural, and sinful lifestyle,” he wrote, in response to a question about gays in the military. He also advocated isolating AIDS patients from the public, saying it was necessary to confine “carriers of this plague.”
“Marriage has historically never meant anything other than a man and a woman. It has never meant two men, two women, a man and his pet, or a man and a whole herd of pets.”
“That would be like saying, well there’s there are a lot of people who like to use drugs so let’s go ahead and accommodate those who want to use drugs. There are some people who believe in incest, so we should accommodate them. There are people who believe in polygamy, should we accommodate them?”
So with all his vomiting of stupidity, he likened same-sex marriage to drug abuse, incest, bestiality, and polygamy. These statements have no place; and most likely he is Gay bashing for ultra-conservative $$$’s. We may take it personal, but we must just brush them off our shoulder, however, what is frightening is that he is the top contender for Republican nominee for 2012.
Did you know that the Badlands National Park in South Dakota contains the world’s richest Oligocene epoch fossil beds, dating 23 to 35 million years old?
Also, did you know that HB 1144, the Anti-Discrimination bill failed in committee today? A sad day for both South Dakota and Virginia.
HB 1144 is the bill to amend current South Dakota law to add sexual orientation and gender identity to the state’s anti-discrimination laws. The passing of this bill would have been so important because it would have protected LGBT workers in South Dakota. Unfortunately, South Dakota’s House Health & Human Services Committee tabled HB 1144. The vote was 8-4.

PrayerforNewark (a group composed of church members walks door-to-door praying for businesses and residents) has a hidden agenda. On the surface, it seems like a peaceful movement, however there is a direct tie to an international movement that inspires and supports politicians of Uganda who are supporting the ‘Anti-Homosexuality Bill.”
Nothing like waking up early in the morning on a freezing winter day, then grabbing a coffee or tea, then right before you board your public transit, you spot an ad that hurts you and your family. GOOD MORNING…survey says X (cue buzzer sound)
Washington DC’s transit ads have been attacked by the anti-gay group Stand for Marriage. You know the group that thinks they can get to vote on other people’s marriage and claim a selfish victory that hurts many.
Monday morning, after many DC workers have returned from holiday break, they will receive a rude awakening when they view anti-Gay ads on the metro. Think of it this way-this act is the same as if the ads were anti-woman, anti-Hispanic, anti-African-American, etc. How did this happen?
Couldn’t these groups invest their advertising $’s in education, charities, churches, something that would be a positive impact on our society or is this act in DC another barrier they want to build in the path to equality?
