When you start to reference “faggots” as you do on the link that you provided to us, I have to wonder if what we’re really running up against isn’t a man who is desperate for liberty, but instead, a man who hates gays.

Radley is a journalist and his job is to share these stories with us and should a story wind up being untrue as this one is, there is a responsibility to inform us (which he did).

POTUS’ website should not be sending out e-mails to millions of Americans with this story. Check it out here: http://www.blogforchange.org/?p=53

You know, Contrary to what many out there believe, “the gays” aren’t this one big giant entity with some secret deviant agenda that’s going to immediately try and sue any and all private companies and individuals who don’t recognize “the gay”. I certainly don’t agree with the particular lawsuit that you mentioned – nor do I agree with any of the lawsuits brought by gay people against private companies for not accepting “gay business”. In fact, I most gay people were really pissed off by those lawsuits. Not only did many of us think they were frivolous and should have been thrown out…but also almost immediately afterward you had all these people pointing fingers and saying “see, they’re all going to sue our a$$es and force the gay on us!” [sorry but I'm not running out and suing nobody...it's called capitalism...I'll simply take my business elsewhere]

I mean by the same logic…I could likewise name all the frivolous lawsuits brought by heterosexual people and use that to justify whatever I want, i.e.: if we condone heterosexual partnerships, pretty soon married people will all start trying to sue private match-making companies because the company did not find them a date. [And yes, a married man tried to sue e-harmony for not finding him a woman to date-because apparently they did not have a section for married people.]

Still, why should some idiot’s frivolous lawsuit justify denying every single gay adult hospital visitation rights, inheritance rights, etc? It doesn’t make sense…And you know, in 99.99999% of cases, if a church, priest, etc. doesn’t not want to marry gay people or serve, gay people likewise are not going to want to marry in said church or by said priest anyway…they will find someone else, that is how free enterprise works.

And personally, just so you know, I also agree with the person who said that government should get out of the marriage business altogether…that would actually be the best way to deal with the issue…because honestly, it’s none of my damn business what consenting adults do, whether it’s get married, smoke pot, have sex…whatever.

Yeah, it’s either that, or those dudes who live down the street from you will be able to visit each other in the hospital. But you’re probably right, gays will sue for the right to attend services at Fred Phelps church. That’s the logical conclusion here.

They’re already suing Christian photographers for turning down their business for their weddings.

But there’s no point in refuting what is obvious because you guys will believe anything that plays to your prejudices and portrays people you disagree with in a negative way.

Of course not. Because I believe women who are raped deserve to be murdered and lashed.

Sheesh. This is the weirdest comment I’ve seen in weeks. Is the implication that I’m some sort of pro-gay misogynist who cares more about government-murdered homosexuals than I do about government-murdered rape victims?

In fact, I have posted about the plight rape victims in radically Muslim countries. Do a search. And even if I hadn’t, it wouldn’t be cause to draw any sort of conclusion about how much importance I attach to the various classes of victims of those regimes. What a strange complaint.

Christians believe homo’s go to hell, muslims believe they have to send them there.

Which equates to Christians being “pleased” with the Muslims doing their dirty work. I’m not so sure it’s that black and white — you paint with a very broad brush.

And yes Dave, I am one bad influence.

Saw a bumper sticker today: “Got Hope?”

Yup, still do. Still do.

This story appears to be fabricated by a London based LGBT group. Perhaps you should put a disclaimer up that the story may or may not be true.
