And should I remember Kanye West is a devote Christian who even puts Jesus and stuff in his lyrics (which would be considered career suicide by most pop acts today)???? However, nobody seems to bother it....

Once again, the impartial hate campaign towards christianity on this forum only looks the bad side... They would never remember Kany West is a Christian, and so is Bono and many other popstars who give a far better role model for youth today then any of these idiotic barbie dolls who do nothing but show their uteros on MTV and worry about nothing other then their clothes and cars.

Nobody will remeber Martin Luther King was a Christian either, and a pastor.

I doubt that anyone that commits crimes against gay people or those "artists" who write lyrics inciting violence are seriously Christian, and if they are, surely they cannot feel like they have "the Church" on their side. For instance, the Catholic Church is one of the few that even protests against capital punishment in America, even concerning serial killers and stuff. I doubt they´d support killing a person for being homossexual. :unsure: They might have done it in the past, but welcome to the 21st century.

 

Would you care to respond to my previous thread on this forum? I already addressed this issue. Here's what I said:

 

The problem is that almost EVERY homophobic person justifies their homophobia with religion. Over and over and over again we hear of liars, crooks, thieves, thugs, adulterers, divorcees etc who spout homophobia, they're asked why, and they say "the Bible says..." Frankly you're right that no one who would beat up a gay guy on the street is a pious person, and all but very small minority would say they're hell-bound just like any other sinner. But the problem is religion is the perfect crutch! People feel justified to act the way they do because they feel like they have the church on their side.

 

And the churches of the world (and mosques) know very well this is true but they aren't doing anything about it. They could take proactive, progressive approaches but they don't. If 5 preachers or priests in the entire country said "Gays should be treated equally" then 5,000 of them said "Gays shouldn't be allowed to get married." But why?

 

Why did the Mormons and Catholics spend so much money to get Prop 8 passed when they know DAMN WELL there are far, far, far, far greater problems and crises and injustices going on in their churches, communities and around the world?? WHY do they care so much if two men get married when there are wars, genocide, climate change... not to mention poverty, crime, disease, etc. Imagine if the tens of millions of dollars the Mormons sent to CA to pass proposition 8 went to cancer research? Or rebuilding a local school? Or HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment in Africa? The list goes on and on...

 

So if that's the case, then why is there a G-spot up the arse of every man and woman.... :lol: :P

 

shows how much you know about the female anatomy m8! :P women dont have a prostate gland!

Barack Obama, is a black person and a christian one. LMAO. Not just a Christian, but a practicing pentecostal one... I just have to laugh my entire arse off at people like Russt putting all their hopes in a guy that is at the same time, black and christian, the 2 things that he seems to hate the most. That´s totally ironic...

 

How DARE you try to accuse me of racism, you rambling, illiterate idiot.

 

Blacks and Christians 2 of the things I hate the most? And your source for this outrageous comment is?

 

In fact, you're correct on only one point - I do hate Christians as much as anything else I can think of. And dullards like yourself strengthen my distaste.

 

Obama was the best of a bad choice - end of.... but his views on homosexuality are far, far more "21st century" than your own backyard-beliefs.... a world where you 'suffer' the repulsive homosexuals - accepting that they simply are there and there's not much you can do about it - yet they remain utterly foul and abhorrent to you. And this attuitude makes you 'liberal' and 'accepting'?

 

You're a rancid, low-life, grotesque, hillbilly homophobe.

 

And you know it.

You're a rancid, low-life, grotesque, hillbilly homophobe.

 

That basically sums up my opinion on the member as well. :heart:

Ok, so I'm not against gay marriage or anything like that AT ALL. But...

 

I know I will probably get backlash about this but I think all the protesting and everyone speaking out now about Proposition 8 being passed is annoying. I'm sure it wasn't fair but it was voted against so is there really much that can be done about it now? I think it should've just passed but jeeze... all the drama that comes with it not being passed now! :lol:

Ok, so I'm not against gay marriage or anything like that AT ALL. But...

 

I know I will probably get backlash about this but I think all the protesting and everyone speaking out now about Proposition 8 being passed is annoying.

 

Yeah, and I bet dullards like you found Martin Luther King, Huey Newton and Malcolm X "annoying" as well, eh....? -_- God, yeah, I mean how DARE they make a fuss or "annoy" people.... :rolleyes: And these bloody Native American activists like Leonard Peltier, eh...? Annoying c/unts aren't they....?

 

Or are the protestors "annoying" you because they're "faggots"....? This is people's bloody RIGHTS we are talking about here, they wouldn't be "annoying" you if they had the same fukkin' rights as every other bloody tax-paying citizen of your country... Try thinking about that instead of coming up with ridiculous platitudes.....

I don't have anything against gay people. My best friend is gay. It should've passed so we wouldn't have had to come to this. I don't know... "annoying" really isn't the right word to what I think about it all except for the fact that it passed. I don't really hear anything about it now.

 

What could protesting really do about it now though that Prop 8 passed? :unsure: It could be ruled unconstitutional right? But I don't think that'd really do much...?

I think all the protesting and everyone speaking out now about Proposition 8 being passed is annoying.

 

So if your country passed a law that said, ok, just because you're black, we are taking away many of your legal rights, yes, the ones you only managed to get a few years ago after decades of fighting for them, we are making you effectively second-class citizens...oh, but, by the way - we still want the same taxes from you regardless of your colour.... wouldn't you be a little 'annoyed' at that if you were a black person?

 

Are gays any different? Aren't gay people entitled to exactly the same legal and emotional rights as you? And don't you think the gay people of California, who are rightfully outraged at this ruling, are well within their human rights, and far from being 'annoying', to be saying... hang on a minute..... no way - we've been descriminated against quite enough - it stops here - let the battle commence.

 

Good on them, I say - it is 2008, after all.

 

on a lighter note, NYC socialite/drag queen Jackie Beat has written a fabulous blog.... which I like a lot.... true, too...

 

I think it about sums it up:

 

 

NO GAY MARRIAGE? HOW ABOUT NO GAYS!?

That's right, Breeder -- GAYS ARE GOING ON STRIKE!

 

Yes, we Homosexuals here in sunny California -- the epicenter of not just mainstream entertainment, but the porn industry to boot, are going on permanent vacation! And you know what that means...

 

No more amazing haircutting, hairstyling and/or hair-coloring. This is especially troublesome for the many Black women who voted YES on Prop 8, because the last thing you want is some straight guy doing your weave, honey! And trust me, you ain't gonna' wanna' watch Oprah after this strike starts. Ouch.

 

No more sassy designer clothes. Sorry, but you can always wear the fashion fast forward designs of former Charlies Angel, Ms. Jaclyn Smith. She was born NORMAL and her clothing line -- in comfortable and easy-to-care-for cotton jersey -- is available at K-Mart. You must turn in all your fabulous outfits by fabulous GAY designers by the end of the business day or risk being splashed and splattered by hot pink paint by hysterical unmarried second class citizens. And your interior designs will no longer be done by naturally talented fags. Exit popular style whizzes like Nate Berkus and Thom Felicia, enter glorified handiman Ty Pennington. Hope you enjoy your new bed in the shape of a pirate ship!

 

No more entertainment. Gay writers, responsible for the funny on all your favorite TV shows, are going on hiatus (which, ironically and conveniently rhymes with WHY HATE US?). Enjoy all your favorite shows like "Ugly Betty", "Desperate Housewives" and "Grey's Anatomy" -- which you may now re-title "GAYS ARE MAD AT ME!" -- now completely free of any pesky humor, witty repartee' or intelligence. Don't worry, there will still be plenty of Ivy League white frat boy humor. Essentially, every show will become a spin-off of "According To Jim", or one of the other many fat ugly lazy husband/sexy smart in-shape wife shows that I simply refer to as "Hot & Heavy". Yep, no more Marc Cherry, Darren Star or Bruce Vilanch. But don't despair, at least you will be able to enjoy the hair and makeup and costumes and sets -- oh wait. No you won't. And let us not forget about music. Enjoy your vagina-lovin' Michael Bolton and pen*s-desirin' Jessica Simpson. All openly gay, rumored to be gay, closeted gay and gay-friendly artists are joining the strike. And say bye bye to the queens of the big-screen: John Waters, Pedro Almodovar, Alan Ball, Clive Barker, Jean Cocteau, Fassbinder, Derek Jarman, Paul Rudnick, Larry Wachowski, Kevin Williamson and if you believe the rumors (and I do!), Alfred Hitchcock.

 

No more good and/or interesting art. DiVinci, Michelangelo, Warhol, Haring, Hockney, Mapplethorpe, David LaChappelle, Pierre et Gilles, Scavullo, Gilbert and George -- GONE! And you know that Pablo Picasso let some drag queen suck his c*ck at least once and Georgia O'Keefe didn't paint those suggestive flowers for nothing, so their canvases burn to white also. Enjoy the oh-so-artistic Thomas Kincade "Painter of Light" and the Cathy comic strip, f*ck-face.

 

No more good books. Sorry, no enjoying Edward Albee, Hans Christian Andersen, James Baldwin, Rita Mae Brown, Augusten Burroughs, Wiliam S. Burrows, Truman Capote, Dennis Cooper, Noel Coward, Quentin Crisp, Mart Crowley, Christopher Durang, Sumner Locke Elliot, Bret Easton Ellis, Fanny Flagg, E.M. Forster, Jean Genet, Allen Ginsberg, Langston Hughes, Christopher Isherwood, Larry Kramer, Tony Kushner, Federico Garcia Lorca, W. Somerset Maughm, Armisted Maupin, Terrance McNally, Joe Orton, Marcel Proust, Christopher Rice, John Saul, Dan Savage, David Sedaris (yeah, suck on that!), Michaelangelo Signorile, Gertrude Stein, Alice B. Toklas, Gore Vidal, Alice Walker, Tennesee Williams or Virgina Woolf. But don't freak, you can still curl up in your pirate ship bed with the macho musings of Ernest Hemingway or the downright erotic word-weavings of animal print aficionado Jackie Collins. And since most American's don't even read anymore, let me send a real shiver down your straight spine: NO MORE PEREZ HILTON!

 

No more Broadway shows. No explanation necessary.

 

No more Scientology. Let's not even go there.

 

No more funny lesbians. No more Ellen, no more Rosie, no more Sandra Bernhard, no more Jane Lynch and no more Wanda Sykes. Oops. Well, now you know.

 

And last, but by no means least: NO MORE HOT SEX! Sorry, but no more juicy, deep-throating blow jobs performed by well-trained craftsmen who -- having the same equipment -- know how to treat it properly. No more no-strings-attached mind-blowing, bone-crushing orgasms in adult bookstores, truck stops, back rooms, porno theaters or church. I guess you'll just have to buy your wife an expensive gift from Kay Jewelers or JC Penney and try to talk her into sucking your d*ck. Good luck with that. Oh, and even your straight porn is gonna' suck because the actresses are not going to have their usual hair and makeup people and if you think those bimbos wake up looking that good, you're in for a rude surprise!

 

So, enjoy your exciting new GAY-FREE California! If you voted YES on Prop 8, you brought this on yourself.

Superb..... Love it....

 

 

I don't have anything against gay people. My best friend is gay. It should've passed so we wouldn't have had to come to this. I don't know... "annoying" really isn't the right word to what I think about it all except for the fact that it passed. I don't really hear anything about it now.

 

What could protesting really do about it now though that Prop 8 passed? :unsure: It could be ruled unconstitutional right? But I don't think that'd really do much...?

 

There's a reason all this commotion is happening now, after the fact. While Prop 8 never should have been on the ballet in the first place, once it was finally approved, gays and lesbians weren't too concerned. Every opinion poll all summer long showed Prop 8 losing by 14-17 points. It looked like it was going to die a sad death at the poll. That is what spurred the Catholics and Mormons into action. In the last few weeks before the election, they dumped tens of millions of dollars into the Prop 8 campaign with disgusting, misleading, ridiculous advertisements. They started mobilizing in churches and sending thousands of Mormons over from Utah to go door-to-door with a filthy campaign. They successfully distracted everyone by changing the discussion - a trick right out of the Karl Rove handbook - so that the campaign ended up being more of an argument of exposing children to homosexuality.

 

So even though poll still showed the proposition would lose up until the day before the election, the proposition ended up winning, barely. Here are some reasons that we're f***ing mad as hell about this:

 

1. Gay marriage was already legal in California and things were going just fine. This REMOVED a basic right from millions of people.

2. The proposition's success was totally unexpected.

3. The campaign was largely funded and run by a tiny minority of out-of-state Mormons.

4. The proposition is illegal in the first place as it redefines the California Constitution.

5. Prop 8 was joined by gay marriage bans in Arizona and Florida - and an absolute ABOMINATION of a referendum in Arkansas that bans gay couples from adopting kids. This on top of bans 4 years ago.

6. Barack Obama's election gave us hope, inspired people, made us believe that we can achieve something and we can make government represent us and serve us if we try. It was such an incredible achievement. But Prop 8 is just so 2004, so Karl Rove, so pathetic, so divisive, so corrupt, so WRONG, so UNDEMOCRATIC and UNAMERICAN. It passed because of lying, cheating, stealing, BUYING votes, and using vulnerabilities to misinform people and frighten them.

im not interested in fashion, films, books, us 'comedy' shows, or even art.... im not saying that some of these things arnt important, but by and large that list doesnt impact on my life at all... 'ugly betty', 'desperate housewives' alone are enough ... cant abide the shows.

I think America voted in the wrong President... LOVE this guy's speech - fantastic!

That is a great piece of oratory.

 

It reminds me of a few weeks ago watching Question Time when Brian Eno was on it. I agreed with virtually all his points as at different times he cut through the c**p of the Labour, Tory, Liberal representatives, the moron from the Sun newspaper & the female US Afro-Caribbean politically correct do-gooder.

 

 

Prince: Gay marriage isn't right

The Artist Formerly Known As Open-Minded has said that God doesn't approve of people 'sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever'

Sean Michaels guardian.co.uk, Thursday November 20 2008 09.42 GMT

 

Prince ... the Purple One says he was misquoted as an opponent of gay marriage.

 

Prince has again come under fire this week, and not from perfume manufacturers. The Purple One is being slammed after he criticised gay marriage in a recent New Yorker interview, saying it isn't "right".

 

"God came to earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out," Prince told the New Yorker's Clare Hoffman. "He was, like, 'Enough.'"

 

The interview paints an illuminating picture of The Artist Formerly Known As Open-Minded. As a practising Jehovah's Witness, he not only proselytises door-to-door – "Sometimes people act surprised, but mostly they're really cool about it," – but he also subscribes to some of the religion's more socially conservative precepts. "It's all about religion," he said.

 

"You've got the Republicans, and basically they want to live according to [the Bible]. But there's the problem of interpretation, and you've got some churches, some people, basically doing things and saying it comes from here, but it doesn't. And then on the opposite end of the spectrum you've got blue, you've got the Democrats, and they're, like, 'You can do whatever you want.' Gay marriage, whatever. But neither of them is right."

 

These would be jarring comments from any slinking, flamboyant singer – but particularly from a man whose music seemed to exemplify a kind of hedonistic pansexuality.

 

Then again, maybe Prince was misquoted. The Perez Hilton blog has weighed in with an anonymous source "close to the rocker", alleging that the singer was "grossly misquoted and misinterpreted".

 

"What His Purpleness actually did was gesture to the Bible and said he follows what it teaches, referring mainly to the parts about loving everyone and refraining from judgment," Perez Hilton reported. "'We're very angry he was misquoted,' says our Prince insider."

 

The New Yorker has confirmed that they are standing behind the story.

assuming the quote is accurate... the blokes an idiot! it doesnt take much brain power to pull his statement to bits, but then again most religious types dont seem to want to question what they are told and blindly swallow it... after all...its the word of god so it MUST be true <_<

"You've got the Republicans, and basically they want to live according to [the Bible]. But there's the problem of interpretation, and you've got some churches, some people, basically doing things and saying it comes from here, but it doesn't. And then on the opposite end of the spectrum you've got blue, you've got the Democrats, and they're, like, 'You can do whatever you want.' Gay marriage, whatever. But neither of them is right."

 

These would be jarring comments from any slinking, flamboyant singer – but particularly from a man whose music seemed to exemplify a kind of hedonistic pansexuality.

 

Then again, maybe Prince was misquoted. The Perez Hilton blog has weighed in with an anonymous source "close to the rocker", alleging that the singer was "grossly misquoted and misinterpreted".

 

"What His Purpleness actually did was gesture to the Bible and said he follows what it teaches, referring mainly to the parts about loving everyone and refraining from judgment," Perez Hilton reported. "'We're very angry he was misquoted,' says our Prince insider."

 

The New Yorker has confirmed that they are standing behind the story.

 

If this is correct, then it's the height of extreme hypocrisy coming from someone like him who's built a career out of ambiguous sexuality (ie, has made plenty of MONEY out of it...) and has led a very openly libertine lifestyle... What a prat....

 

There really is nothing worse nor more hypocritical than a "born again...."

 

Let's hope the toothpick-in-a-doily goes the same way as Donna Summer when she famously told the world that AIDs was God's revenge on gays... which, like Prince, she denied saying when she realised the damage it was causing her career.

 

Unlike Summer, though, Prince has no career any more... and is, at best, viewed as a lunatic.
