The Gay Thread - Page 125

I'm not knowledgeable enough to know either way, but in the discussion over at ScotusBlog there seemed to be reasonable arguments that there scenarios that would kick all the way back to trial.

But I like your outcomes so I'll take those as a given until the Supreme Court decides to go all Citizens United on our asses again.

I failed to mention that the LDS church has launched a new website that teaches compassion for those afflicted with teh gay, but is really (to me) a stepping stone for just another change in doctrine, despite the "God doesn't change" outlook they're speaking of now. They've radically changed their opinion before; why not now?

I call shenanigans on that. They want to urge teh fags to stay in the fold, as long as they don't fold in half and take it up the a$$. In other words, homo is ok as long as no homo really happens. Suppress your sexual urges forever and remain celibate, and you can remain a Mormon. Oh, yeah, ignore all that stuff about how Mormons can only have that after-life planetary existence if they marry and have kids. But you're all good for this lesser, earthly life of suppressing your sexuality and living loveless. Enjoy!

That and continue to tithe lots of money. Color me cynical.

I'm assuming that Mormon, Sand, Gays is a all-inclusive Caribbean resort?

As for the tone, it is of course shenanigans but a pretty standard "hate the sin, not the sinner" religious position.

Or as I like to say, it's okay to be a Mormon, as long as you don't practice Mormonism.

Any Aussie Friendly links there? (I'm not allowed to watch it because I'm from the wrong hemisphere. I Effen hate that.

Try catching it from the Conan web site (It is from George's appearance on Conan's show)

Good on George. But how about she didn't come out and say "I am a Lesbian" because there's not a living soul on earth with a pulse who didn't already know that? She came out ages ago. When someone that public is gay, they don't have to make some announcement; it becomes - as it did in her case - common knowledge.

Instead, she did what I think is a much classier way to acknowledge her gayness publicly - she thanked her long-time partner of the same gender on national television. To me, THAT's how to come out - not to make some bold pronouncement - but rather to casually mention your boyfriend or girlfriend when appropriate, in the same manner any straight person would.

I just KNEW Minnie was a lesbian. But who's that chick Mickey just married?
