It's not staring us in the face, slapping us with the hand of disapproval, while we're just trying to live our lives every day. Doing nothing about this is not an option. We just can't sit back and say, 'okay, I guess that's over.' Morally, that just doesn't seem right. There just must be more that we can do about this."<BR/><BR/>I don't know WHAT to do, but I feel like we need to do something.<BR/><BR/>(Like me, my husband is also FOR gay rights, but he is very non-confrontational.)barbrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09918903739834969992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271931822987740572.post-52224929869526108902008-11-13T06:32:00.000-08:002008-11-13T06:32:00.000-08:00Very well said.

I spent 12 years in that sort of bigoted religious (I won't dignify it with the word Christian - more un-Christ-like people I never met) interpretation of the Bible. The indoctrination backfired though, because all that time they were making me read the Bible, I was actually PAYING ATTENTION TO IT. They definitely chose the passages they wanted to highlight. I'm sure all those people are reeling about President-Elect Obama (did I mention they're racists, too?).Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190489990653412687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271931822987740572.post-17862736446853950752008-11-13T05:21:00.000-08:002008-11-13T05:21:00.000-08:00What gets me is how they think if homosexuals can ...What gets me is how they think if homosexuals can marry, that their marriages are threatened somehow.
