I would really like to know where all these outspoken “moral majority” supporters are on REAL issues. Like AIDS in Africa, genocide in Darfur, the homeless in America, and the abuse of animals and children!

Wait… like Global Warming, they think these are all the fault of homosexuals!

Maybe someone needs to remind these people that Jesus came for ALL people. He is INCLUSIVE, not exclusive.

Ignorance abounds in a sea of small minds.

Even as a Christian I don’t agree with this guy…his words and actions are soooooooooo not cool. We may not agree with some people’s beliefs, but that doesn’t give us a right to be all in their business…if being homosexual is a sin, he needs to remember so is adultury, stealing, cheating, lying, etc etc….*sigh*

I went to high school with this slimeball. He was anything but a “Christian,” until he fell for his “born again” future wife. Then he “supposedly” cleaned up his act but soon went over the deep end. He was a more decent person when he was drunk and stoned. A most heinous, vile & despicable excuse for a human being.

Well said, Michael. The fight for human rights is everybody’s fight.

Well said, Michael. As a straight, married man who is unlikely to procreate I have to agree with your stance.

I strongly believe that every straight atheist in the U.S. should strongly support our gay and lesbian neighbors in their pursuit of marriage rights.

I have yet to find a compelling and intellectually rigorous defense of “traditional” marriage that doesn’t rely on holy books. If we walk away, as straight atheists, because this isn’t “our” fight, we cede the entire concept of marriage to the religious.

Which means that we can happily roll over and allow the religious to deny us atheists our rights, as well.

My wife and I haven’t decided whether we’ll have a child. If the “traditionalists” are right and one reason for marriage is procreation, they can nullify my marriage in the same breath that they nullify some gay marriages. (And this doesn’t even address the fact that many gay and lesbian couples do raise children.)

This is our fight. This is my fight. I am a straight man in a happy, stable marriage to a beautiful woman. But this is my fight. I’m fighting on the principles I set out before, sure, but I’m also fighting for my many gay and lesbian friends, who deserve the same rights I do.
