Thank you. These so-called "Christians" need to stop pointing fingers, STFU and worry about themselves. And who says being gay is wrong? Some book? Please. | |

Anyway, my father also does not like that. It's the way he grew up. He shakes his head in sadness and says, "IS THIS REALLY ON TV!?". I can't stand up 4 myself cuz he is my father, but I understand where he is coming from. In a way I understand Ja Rule's rant too. Total...we had this conversation so Im not suprised. I just feel you and your God should love all people equally. are you talking to me and yes God does love everyone.. that doesn't mean he approves of sin... he made Adam and Eve.. NOT Adam and Steve you guys know that was funny... but thats one of the jokes my grandma told me... Where u got that line from "Philadelphia"? (A Good movie by the way u should watch it). What's so funny? Who made you the spokesperson for my God in my eyes? No one does that but me. If God wanted me 2 be anything else than I am I would have been. My Creator wants to change YOU and open your closed mind. LETS GET BACK TO THE real subject....Ja has the right to say what he did people, but as an older man, he just has to get used to the growing world. Things are much different than 1996.

And what of your sins? i didn't say i was perfect... hey im not pointing the finger at anyone... that was Ja rule... Im not even angry with gay people... i respect and love them... do i approve of that NO... there are things that i do approve of.. but that doesnt mean.. that i will dislike the person... or treat them mean... actually I don't believe that homosexuals should be bullied .. if saw that going on.. I would stand up for them being a human... and deserve respect.... but the thing is.. does a homosexual person... repent.. and ask god for forgivenes.. and to be cleansed... I know that I do... most people who live their life a certain way... do NOT ask god for forgivnes.. or even think what they are doing is wrong... so don't bring up the fact that we all sin.. thats true.. but we don't all repent/ask for forgiveness.. and thats a big difference... And please, stop reducing gay people to just sex. I do not think of heterosexual people in that context. | |

You can accept a person for who they are whether gay or straight but that does not mean you have to accept a person's alternate lifestyle. A persons "alternative lifestyle is none of your or anybody elses business to accept (unless it is your own son/daughter). You only need to worry about who you are laying up with, and I will do the same. live and let live I don't ever recall trying to make someone's gay lifestyle my business. I could care less. You are right what a person does behind closed doors is there business. I'm not on a crusade to ban gays or any of that nonsense. Sticking with the topic, ja rule simply defended hip hop when critics bashed it as the only negative media outlet. Yes you do have negative images in other media outlets besides just hip hop. Again i am not a ja rule fan but there is some substance to some of the statements he made in the article whether people want to acknowledge it or not. GEEZ! I am so ready to move on from this topic. The judge has spoken! Don't laugh at my funk

So, I reacted to some homophobe remarks on this thread and found out, later on in the thread that Lothan said everything I want to say, but without the namecalling that was in my initial posts.
I love you, woman. And to me YOU seem the president this country needs. Your posts took the sting out of all the anger of my initial posting. I should not fight ignorance with bad mouthing. But jeez, sometimes the sheer ignorance of people astound me. [Edited 9/15/07 15:13pm] | |

KKK shirts...oh yeah, they're here in SC too. We were at Waffle House in Charleston and my cousin saw this man with one on. That's just as bad as the T-shirts that were out when I was younger. I remember hearing my parents and relatives talk about their disgust over these t-shirts with the slogan "100 % cotton and your mama picked it". looking for you in the woods tonight Switch FC SW-2874-2863-4789 (Rum&Coke) | |
