Thank you irondork and Quendi, I just LOVED your post. Want to give you a big ol hug, cuz I hear ya, babe. Very eloquent to me.
The following is a rant..if you don't want to hear it, don't read it, but I just had to say what was on my mind after reading some of the comments from here and elsewhere.
I have to say, that I am a little perturbed by some who feel because gays have ONE DAY OUT OF THE YEAR to hang with other gays and feel SAFE and proud of who they are, it annoys them. So, gays now don't even have a right to assemble together and have fun? Curious to know why people don't seem to have a problem with Mardi' Gra..which is a total free for all.
You know what annoys me? Someone getting the shit beat out of them because they are gay. What the hell did this person do to you?
Someone who gets CONSTANTLY harrassed at school, gets me annoyed. Oh really, it is NOT bullying?
A person who feels there is no way out of the miserable life they have because they feel they CANNOT come out of the closet, and so they have to LIE to please everyone around them. So if you want to throw the bible around, then actually, by a GLBT person denying who they are, they are living a lie. That too is a sin. And per Jehovah, a sin is a sin, is a sin.
Someone who tells another person to just keep praying and your feelings will eventually stop. Is it that easy? Well hot damn! That's the cure, then! Why didn't millions of other people try that. Uh, cuz I'm sure like me, THEY HAVE! Do your feelings for the opposite sex stop? Have you tried praying about it? Maybe Jehovah will hear your prayer and turn you into a big ol gay stud or a lipstick lesbian. mmm
How about the good ol, well, if you have feelings, just don't act on them. Ok then. You start. And bioflex, you quote about immorality with gays, but I LOVE how your post TOTALLY IGNORED any comment about heterosexual people sleeping withe others who are not married. Genius!
And what I absolutey fucking detest above all other "gay" matters is when a person or persons bully someone so much they actually end up killing them (Boys Don't Cry, Matthew Shepperd, etc.) or push them so far a person KILLS HIMSELF because they feel it is better to have a non-existant life, than the life they have to endure.
Last I checked, it is wrong to murder, and is even in the 10 commandments, is it not? Must trump being gay, cuz there's not one commandment in all the 10 about it. I've never seen: AND THOU SHALT NOT BE A LIPSTICK LESBIAN, BUTCH DYKE, BEAR, OR FLAMER OF ANY KIND, have you?
So, who's the worst person? ALL OF US! We were born into sin and we will die sinful. So stop thinking you are soo much better because you are a JW and/or Christian hetero. Gays love God and Jesus, too. Just ask us! And if you think God loves you more because you're straight...uh oh, better refer back to those scriptures that state Jesus died for ALL mankind. Don't think I ever read he died only for straight people, or JW's or...that's right ALL PEOPLE! Just deal with it as Jesus would deal with you in your imperfections.
