When Blasphemous Gays Rip into Christians the MSM says Diddly Squat.

Poll
Will Congress pass Obamacare by the end of the year?

Can you imagine if a group of Christians got together and made a photograph advertising their upcoming rally, and in that photo they deliberately went out of their way to tick off homosexuals?

What do you think would happen? Do you think the mainstream media would cover it? Do you think Katie Couric, Chris Matthews, Swill Maher and the other liberal curmudgeons would wade in and condemn the Christians and call ‘em haters…meanies…or…or…something?

You and I both know these darling duplicitous Christophobic thugs would be on their TV shows screaming anathemas at Christians louder than Yoko Ono would yell if she accidentally knelt on her own breast. They would be on the church like a dog on a June bug. Like Rosie on a case of Twinkies. Like Bill Clinton on Hustler’s 2007 Chunky Intern Issue. We would never hear the end of it.

However, what does the Main Stream Media do when the tables are turned and the queer crowd spits on the Christian community by showing a bunch of S&M/B&D mooks as Christ and his disciples in an advertisement for the foul end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it Folsom Street Fair this weekend? Probably nothing.

Yep, the MSM will, most likely, defend Folsom’s unwholesome flotsam as freedom of expression, artistic creativity and a progressive step away from the puritanical social mores that have for too, too long frowned upon their dream of an annual Tommy and Timmy Testicle Pageant.

For the uninitiated, what exactly did the way-too-creepy gay crew at Folsom do? Here’s the poop (literally).

You remember Da Vinci’s painting of Christ, The Last Supper, don’t cha? Well the Wizards of Odd, yes the marketing crew at Freaks-R-Us, decided it would be cool to market their “Street Fair” by replacing Jesus with some black/gay/S&M dude and then…then…swap the disciples out for a bunch of randy bondage boys and…and…(they weren’t finished)…switch the bread and wine—which represents Christ’s sacrificial body and blood given as a ransom for man’s sin—with a bunch of rubber-fisted dildos, together with a broad selection of other fetish crap made only for the fetid critter.

Unreal stuff, right here folks. Continued...

I'm not wriggling off the hook at all
No, Rich D. it's is YOU who want to wriggle off the hook.
You cannot name any good and justifiable reason, other than the old 'the way it's always been' excuse. Well, it hasn't 'always been' that way.
You cannot name any society that has legally married gay couples that have been negatively impacted, nor their respective communities that have in MA, nor the countries where it is legal countrywide.

You cannot name, nor prove children raised by gay parents that are negatively impacted by their gay parents marrying. Nor can you recall that any ADULT human being in our country is banned on the basis of their characteristics or physical differences that would compromise their ability to bear, or raise children or choose not to. THAT is also a serious reality.
And I told you again, if you truly believed that the institution of marriage was a maturing, securing and opportunity for happiness that a loving couple should have, why NOT include gay couples?
I'ts unfair, stupid and painfully spiteful to say that about marriage, but a gay teen has no hope of it.
Indeed, isolating gay people from the very things and hope that would make a human being happy, then pointing fingers at gay people and remarking on what sick, sad people they are, is the utmost of casting stones. ALL human beings without hope would act that way. It's just that gay young people are particular targets for hopelessness and scapegoating.
I don't use religion to hide behind as an excuse to treat gay people this way. And if you thought about it, what good has come from doing so? Nothing. However, treating gay people with equal respect has garnered greater reward for everyone. Evidence of that is everywhere.

bought and sold God
Rich D...
In the eyes of civil law, that is the definition of marriage. You can pretend that everyone is obligated to be religious, engage the government in YOUR CHOICE of religion to isolate other citizens from their ability to function fully as such and as responsible human beings, but the fact remains that our civil government accords freedom to choose that ability.
We allow the divorced and adulterers to marry and remarry repeatedly, none are banned on the basis of their human characteristics, but status.
You are speaking in terms of what marriage has always been on some level, but it's never been static, except for opposite sex couples.
Expanding it to GAY PEOPLE, not simply same sex couples won't change the definition I mentioned. Which, if our laws are to be consistent about the security of children, remains that way also. Gay couples by the millions are raising children.
God isn't concept necessary to retain self determination and civil rights as a citizen. Including marrying the person of one's choice.
