Billy Graham endorses NC gay marriage ban

“Watching the moral decline of our country causes me great concern," the 93-year-old pastor, who has prayed with every president since Dwight Eisenhower, said in a statement on the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association website. "I believe the home and marriage is the foundation of our society and must be protected.”

The statement continued to say that Graham "never thought we would have to debate the definition of marriage."

I guess that Mr. Graham was asleep during the 60's, because there was plenty of debate about its definition then, which culminated in the definition being legally changed.

I still don't see why these people think they're in the right by forcing their religious beliefs on everyone else. They're the first to protest about how evil sharia law is, but these hypocrites support a Christian version of the same damn thing.

Home and marriage may very well be the foundation of our society.

Not sure why it has to be straight marriage, though...

 

[Thundercrack85]

Do keep in mind that they see it as gays forcing their beliefs down their throat. ...Not really sure, how. But, that's their thought process.

Their opposition to Shariah isn't necessarily that it's draconian, like say secularists, it's that it's not derived from their holy book.

 

[wiegeabo]

So instead they get to force their beliefs on everyone, but the gays can't.

Yes, but they believe that they are carrying out God's will. Gays are godless, amoral *insert pejorative* to them.

You can't reason with religious fanatics.

 

[Schlosser85]

You'd think someone who's had his mouth all over as many Presidential asses as Billy Graham would be a little more open-minded about homosexuality.

...people like this love revisionist history.

There is no rhyme or reason when it comes to religious fanatics. Frankly, I've grown sick and tired of the hypocrisy, self-righteousness, and egomania. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the alleged "powerful influence" that I have being part of the "big bad gay agenda". These people act like gays are a super majority in this country that can turn you gay with one glance.

The only thing I that keeps me grounded is knowing that time is on our side...not theirs.

if anyone is interested in learning about the men who shaped the world today as well as the gay community. This site's a pretty intriguing read.

some of the info (especially on old hollywood, can be a bit provocatively written, so read at your own digress.) But everything is incredibly interesting. Especially about the Titanic Memorial in DC.

If I had to make a list of the most influential people in the "gay movement"(or whatever you want to call it) you can't tell me Liberace shouldn't be top 10

 

[spideyboy_1111]

well there's some other obvious ones he didn't put till much later.. so he's probably spaced it out so people don't get bored of unfamiliar faces

NORTH CAROLINA PASTOR ADVOCATES VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN WHO EXHIBIT "GENDER-VARIANT" BEHAVIOR?

...so christ-like.

Not much makes me cringe more than seeing hateful people who put up an image of wholesome goodness, posing for pictures with soft, pleasant smiles on their faces.

 

[Schlosser85]

They're all blasphemers.

Some good news (sorry fellas, no link, I just heard it on the local news this morning). The Pittsburgh Pirates are debuting an "It Gets Better," video at tonight's game. They are also launching an anti-bullying an initiative in the community tonight.

The Pirates may suck when it comes to baseball, but at least they're doing some good.

I like seeing sports teams getting so involved because it is one of the more machismo-driven aspects of our culture. Sports teams and athletes really pushing for accepting homosexuality will go a long way, I think.

This is just disgusting.

Some people's heads are going to explode when gays are allowed to wed and I will be laughing about it.

 

[wiegeabo]

Gays are already getting married.

And the universe hasn't imploded.

The economy is showing signs of improvement.

And most people don't care because it doesn't effect them.


Which is why I think these people are getting listened to less and less.

Absolutely hilarious

That's beautiful!!!

Dr. Laura is an idiot.

Yes, she is.

I remember having that printed out and displayed on my binder when I was in school.

Joe Biden endorses gay marriage on Meet the Press

And before the show is even over, David Gregory cleared up that the White House has specified that this is not the president's stance and like Obama, Biden is "evolving."

Obama's whole gimmick on gay marriage disgusts me. "I don't support it but I'm evolving." It is shameless pandering. Either you support it or you don't. I'd have more respect for the man if he came out and said, "I don't give a **** one way or another, I'm just saying what I think will get me the most votes." Because clearly that is his view.
