Yes = NOM is listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty law center. They accepted 2,3 million $$ from the catholic church in NY

and re Bishop Dolan , who ranted against equality for gays– he presided over the church’s hiding hte molestation of children. His former diocese of Milwaukee went bankrupt in January due to successful lawsuits.

Also, Maggie Gallagher of NOM , who supports str8 only marriage – she does that by having not one but 2 illegitimate childdren.

No wonder they are putting her behind the curtain,

And since nom is now on the hate group list, they are giving it a new name.

which should really be bigotry incorporated.

while we’re at it, let’s just exterminate the elderly and babies, since they don’t cotnribute to our consumer society, right?

why not?

BTW I’m glad all my children have friends with two mommies or two daddies

Let the ranting begin. the more the anti equality people say, the more they make fools of themselves.

Why? Because of something called MORALS. Why would WJZ jeopardize losing viewers to support an immoral minority? Frankly, NORMAL people are getting sick of the gay agenda being shoved down our throats in the media.

Huh? I’m ashamed how narrow minded and sheltered you are, Cathy. Get a clue.

lewts talk about morals. Hitelr had his own morals. He often spoke of christian values.

which included throwing gays, Jews and others into the ovens.

He has yet to be excommunciated.

its obvious why – it would expose his connection to his church.

Cathy. You asked “what if young children see that or even teens, what kind of message does it bring them?” I will first say that you probably should’ve paid more attention in school. Your grammar is atrocious. Secondly, and more more importantly, people like you lose track of the fact that gay, marriage-seeking adults started off as gay kids and teens. Exactly what message do you think it sends THEM when they constantly see and hear from people such as yourself how immoral, wrong, and perverted they are? Exactly what message do you think it sends them when they constantly see and hear people like you invalidate their feelings? In case you don’t realize it, and I’m pretty sure you don’t, there’s an epidemic hitting this country right now. It’s called teen suicide. And, gay teens are leading that group, sadly enough. And, just why would you think that is? I will tell you. When you take the fact that the teen years are already inherently brutal emotionally, add to it the bullying that goes on at schools (and, apparently, in homes), and top that off with intolerant, hate-filled, unaccepting adults, PARENTS!!!!!!, you have a recipe for disaster. The child’s self-esteem is shot right out the window! Where does the bullies at school come from, Cathy? Any idea? I will tell you. That come from households where the adults think and SPEAK just like you. Here’s a sobering number for you, Cathy: every 18 minutes, EVERY 18 MINUTES!, another teen commits suicide somewhere on this planet. Let that number marinate in your head for a while, and get back to me.

I had a thought, Cathy, why don’t you stop letting your TV raise your children and start talking WITH them about the reality of life and show them how to live with other human beings with whom we disagree in a healthy way. You know, kids learn a lot from their parents behavior…more from their behavior than from their instructions. Best to be a good example of the kind of life you want for your child rather than hoping against hope that the world will conform to your ideal.

Hi sweets, I am a female survivor of childhood sexual abuse at the hands of a man. Pedophelia is not a “gay” thing, babe, it ‘s a sick thing.

Are you married? Have a significant other? Are you intimate with that person? Is that of my business? Would you like the government to disallow your relationship because a group of people with a lot of pull thinks your spouse is too ugly? or blind? or black? or handicapped? and, therefore, not right for you? I’m sorry, sir, your wife cannot bare children and is therefor not appropriate or legal for you to marry. Yeah, I see that going over very well.

Wow, really. You people acts if this whole “gay thing” is something new. Gays have been around since your biblical days! It’s just that like-minded people such as yourself have spent so much of their lives and energies marginalizing gays. Gays have been part of the very fiber of this country for as long as it’s been a country. You hear and see more about us to because of this thing that Al Gore invented called the Internet. The information highway. See, no longer can you sit in your little rose-colored living room in your snug little homes and pretend not only that gays don’t really matter or that life is Ward Clever. Instantaneously, you have access to the world…right from you hate-filled living room. And, in the real world, gays do exist and have existed forever.

I think what you are seeing is 95% of Americans making a concious decision NOT to stand in the way of human rights and fairness. Most people go about their lives and not try to force their views on others. Unfortunately there are people who will spend all of their time and energy trying to deny others basic rights. Some are on these boards.

Excuse me, 95%, but if I may…. I am one of the 95% of the public (an arbitrary statistic on your part by the way) who are not gay. I find that most of the gay-geared TV to be aimed at adults (home and garden, weddings, design, that sort of programming), where I find most of the really offensive stuff aimed at children: oversexualizing little girls with make up and scant cloathing, twisty little hips, lairs and murder…and this from a “family” channel.

So, instead of aiming your energy at people who are trying to encourage a lifelong partnership, perhaps your energies would be better spent trying to counteract the damage tv really is aiming at our kids….maybe take the TV out of the equation, entirely. Wouldn’t that be a start for people like us who want our children to grow up with our morals and not the morals of Hollywood?

For the record, I am all for committed relationships of any kind as long as they are comprised of consenting adults.

Susan, they just don’t understand that. Their smallmindedness, and programming, makes them hold on to the rhetoric that we are in search of “special” rights, or that we’re always “shoving” our “lifestyle” down their throats. In reality, it is they who shove their immoral “morality” down OUR throats. I didn’t give a rat’s a## when any of them married. Why are they so bent out of shape about what I do with my life? Oh, and understand, this isn’t a new battle. It’s just wearing a different banner. Some of the previous banners were Civil Rights and Women’s Rights. Do you see a connection? Can you get a better picture of who the true “enemy” is? We really ARE no different than they. And, I can say that twice!
