		<description>No smacky770, I merely corrected you! It&#039;s my place to do so when someone is speaking misinformation about something that they clearly know so little about to begin with! 

As I said before, your aim here is clearly to HATE MONGER at any cost! At least be a proud Bigot Dude! lol  

Sin has never even been in the equation in reality where BEING homosexual is concerned, any more than sin is in the equation where BEING heterosexual is concerned!

Homosexuality has never been a sex act any more than has heterosexuality ever been! Pretending to be sexually attracted to females WOULD be sinful however. Deceiving women would be akin to baring false witness. I&#039;m not sexually attracted to females Dude! Therefore, I will not pretend to be just so you arrogant Bigots can feel more comfortable when in my presence. 

Marriage today is no longer a religious issue where the government is concerned. I don&#039;t care what prejudiced preachers do or won&#039;t do! But the court house had better extend to gays the right to marry or give us one helluva tax break or something! As it stands, we pay the very same taxes everyone else pays without the same opportunities for tax exemptions, tax credits, tax breaks etc and a whole host of other discrepancies accorded to married people under the  current laws in most states.

You are not homosexual. You are a hateful person. I don&#039;t have to guess or assume this! Anyone reading your excuses to continue to perpetuate discrimination against this specific group of people within this blog will know that you&#039;re a hateful person! You told them! Not I!</description>

		<description>Oh and sorry but I have one more question. Where does it say in the Bible that a marriage between the same sex is tolerable? Also, how am I discriminating? Please tell me how. Hey, if it&#039;s by saying what Yah said oh well then. I&#039;m just following what he said. Sorry again I just wanted know some things and could you please answer my questions? Go ahead you can have the floor now, mmmmmkay :)</description>

		<description>LOL Brandish you are a funny cat! Now you&#039;re starting to make general assumptions of me. You&#039;re putting me in a group of people that I don&#039;t that I don&#039;t belong in. How many times do I have to teeeelll yooouuu IIIII doooon&#039;t aproooooove ooooof leeeeesbiaaaan&#039;s eeeeeither. There was that slow enough for ya? LOL you truly are funny. Btw I bet you would like for me to get in bed with you but guess what it gone happen.

If memory serves me right, I was stating my opinion originally then I was attacked. Who was the culprit? I think it was Mr. Brandish calling me all sorts of names. So who started what with who? If you would&#039;ve stated your opinion without attacking then it would be much more civil now wouldn&#039;t it?

All of a sudden you know me now, huh? What kinda bullshit is that? Dude, you&#039;re making yourself look like an ass right now. Yeah you are gay simply because you chose to be and your acted upon it. Understand this, no one has to do anything but die. I&#039;ll say it for the last time, please explain this to Yah, ok. I&#039;m obviously talking to a brick wall now. Oh and preciate the luck there bruh, I wish you the same as well. So I just wanna know one thing. Is homosexuality wrong? Hm? Is it a sin? Hm? Maybe you just totally wanna ignore what you just read in Leviticus and still make excuses why it&#039;s right. Like I said I&#039;m talking to a brick wall now that has no argument against ME just generalizations of people. Btw you say I&#039;m prejudiced what are you then? You&#039;re putting me in a group of people that you may have had an experience with in the past and you don&#039;t even know me. 

I guess you&#039;re not so protected from the prejudiced bug either, huh?? It&#039;s pointless to debate with you cuz you obviously won&#039;t admit what you are DOING is wrong. Foooor the Bible tells me soooo. lol. Say what you say I&#039;ll let you have the last word. emmmkay, LOL. Just to let you know I respect everyone&#039;s opinion and for those reading this I don&#039;t attack and call people names unless it&#039;s done to me. Go ahead make your final statement. Ohhh don&#039;t forget to pick and choose what you WANT to respond to from what I said to make yourself sound more valid ok. :) have a nice night mmmmmmmkay LOL</description>

		<description>&quot;smacky007&quot;, Ignorance on the subject of homosexuality is your only real problem here! Murder, (of all things), and playing football are things that people DO! Homosexuality is NOT! Don&#039;t forget, you&#039;re talking to someone who actually knows what he is talking about, having actually LIVED IT! 

How is it that you can be so ignorant as to attempt to argue with an actual homosexual person about homosexuality?!
How is this even possible people??? LOL

The only reason I&#039;m even bothering, is more for the education of others who might be reading this interaction between us, to get a perspective from a reputable source, that being &quot;ME&quot; an actual homosexual person!!!  

Unlike those moot points you were making, homosexuality in reality is NOT SOMETHING PEOPLE DO! Get out of bed with me Dude and learn something for a change!
 
I was homosexual long before any sexual acts were experienced by me. I&#039;ll also be homosexual long after I can no longer physically engage in sexual activities. My sexuality is not dependent upon me having sex with anyone! I am who I am regardless!
 
I&#039;ve noticed, you prejudiced types never even imply that being heterosexual is dependent upon sex acts of any kind. Your arrogance is bordering on foolishness now. I am in fact gay Dude! I am the expert here! I SIMPLY KNOW ALLOT MORE ABOUT THIS ISSUE THAN YOU DO! You&#039;re just a hate monger for heavens sake! lol You don&#039;t mean any homosexual any good!

You are clinging desperately to your personal hatred for these gay (men only) BLACK, white or otherwise that you have judged so unworthy of the things that you take for granted every day of your life! Your negative obsession about sex acts between males obviously does not extend to sexual acts between females making you even more the pathetic hypocrite I  know you to be. I ask once more, why is it that you bigots are so bleeping worried about sex acts between men?! It&#039;s becoming clear that THIS is the root of all the unnecessary discrimination that innocent homosexuals are being forced to endure!  Lucky for US though, HYPOCRITES have to answer to their maker just like everyone else! Good luck with that smacky770! You&#039;re sure gonna need it!</description>

		<description>lol, mister Brandish there go again. Just ponder for a minute and think about one of the first things you said. &quot;Sex acts with the same sex never made anyone a homosexual&quot; please explain to me how that makes any sense at all. I&#039;m sorry excuse me for a minute while I crack myself up LOLOLOLOLOLOL, ok I&#039;m done. Hmm I guess murdering someone doesn&#039;t make them a murderer or someone playing football doesn&#039;t make them a football player. You are granted a title by what your actions are, correct? So yeah it does.

&quot;The difference between other sins that people commit and homosexuality is that at least the people that do the other sins ADMIT they’re wrong.&quot; I guess you missed or somewhat avoided this part :), right. My thing is, like I said b4, there&#039;s a problem when we have all these sins amongst ourselves as commonplace amongst our society today and why add on more? At least by knowing what sin one committed allows them to have some guilt and hopefully improve themselves.

 I will admit that I have fornicated but do you see me DENYING that it&#039;s a sin and making excuses for why it SHOULD be right? The other thing that I&#039;m stating is that any action that&#039;s unproductive whether it be fornication or homosexuality should not be out in public amongst young children. For me to tell my son or daughter it&#039;s ok to have sex with anyone just make sure you use a trojan is completely wrong. I&#039;m not going to lie to them and make excuses for why it should be right.

The first step is knowing what you are doing is wrong and then improve from there. To allow homosexual marriage would just add on to more wickedness in this society. In turn the generations to come will be so used to it that it won&#039;t be anything for them to just do what they want with whoever they want. Sh.it it&#039;s almost like that now but why add on and make it worse. I totally disagree with the way many things in this society is so don&#039;t think I&#039;m just pin pointing this. Oh and btw, if you notice that in the bible does say he doesn&#039;t change and he&#039;s referring to his old laws as well. Do you want me to find that and post that for you too? Understand that the New Testament had been altered numerous times and that&#039;s why Yah let it be known that anything in contradiction to his original words, the Old Testament, is false. In other words that&#039;s a mass lie. It&#039;s a mass illusion to get people to do whatever the hell they wanna do!!! There&#039;s no longer any structure and I&#039;ll say this much our sins lay heavy upon us and for that we&#039;re going to experience something serious as a result.

I&#039;m thinking more on a long term of what this will do to future generations. Hell, just during my short lifetime I&#039;ve seen things get worse and worse even though those who have the untrained eye wouldn&#039;t notice. People have become closer to animals than the devine beings we are. Acting on whatever feels good without any fear of consequence or any guilt at all. So your point you&#039;re trying to prove has no basis with me. I never disagreed about the other sins that are committed. However, at least I know they&#039;re wrong. Could you explain to me again how committing gay acts doesn&#039;t make you GAY? I guess someone who steals from Wal-Mart isn&#039;t a thief either, right? LOL LOL I&#039;m sorry but I just got the laugh of the week from that statement. :) have a nice evening. LOL LOL LOL aight now Ima quit.</description>

		<description>&quot;smacky770&quot;...Of course, I am &quot;one&quot;, as you so sarcastically put it! lol 

First of all, your (homosexuals in prison) example is all wrong! Sex acts with the same sex never made anyone a homosexual, anymore than sex acts with the opposite sex ever made anyone a heterosexual!

Mere urges are definitely not what we&#039;re talking about either We&#039;re talking about an individuals sexual orientation, meaning their outright sexual being. And As for calling you names, the one name I actually called you was a BIGOT, sense homophobe didn&#039;t seem to suffice with you...a perfectly legitimate term, unlike the mean spirited names you bigots like to call men like me! 

Ok, lets talk &quot;actions&quot; now. Don&#039;t you for one second lie and say that you are some kind of virgin, or that you were still a virgin the day you were married for that matter. Just admit that you are very hypocritical when it comes to your interpretation of what is written in the bible when it pertains to what it says about yourself! It&#039;s clear to me that hypocrites must be doing this deliberately! I just don&#039;t know what you prejudiced types want from us! Pretending to be sexually attracted to females would be crazy, not to mention unfair to females as well as to myself!  
God already knows each true homosexual person AS AN INDIVIDUAL! God already knows the difference between someone who is engaging in some deviant sexual acts unrelated to their underlying sexual orientation, and someone like my self who was clearly born predisposed to having same sex attraction. 
And I thank God everyday, that you arrogant bigots have absolutely NO VOTE in the matter!
One more thing. I want you to go back to the bible and surgically remove all that it says in relation to you heterosexuals that you so conveniently ignore! Tell us about how fornicators, adulterers, and divorced individuals etc won&#039;t be going to be with God in the hereafter! You can&#039;t have it both ways Mister! Jesus loathed HYPOCRITES, not homosexuals! You&#039;re festering in the Old Testament anyway Dude. 1</description>

		<description>Wooow Brandish you must be one since you got sooooo offended. Actually I&#039;m pretty sure you&#039;re the idiot in here and I&#039;ll prove to you why. Btw you didn&#039;t have to be so aggressive and call me names. I try to keep debates civil by simply stating my opinion and not attacking those I&#039;m debating with.

Hmm lemme see people have urges to do things whether they&#039;re bad or good correct? Ok some people have an urge to let&#039;s say steal or murder, right? Though they are not the same thing as homosexuality they still share one thing in common. They are actions that stem from URGES! Some will say ohhhh you can&#039;t help what you like and I say maybe that&#039;s true. However, what are you judged upon? Come on say with me together kids! YOUR ACTIONS!! Let&#039;s not go and make excuses now for every ACTION that someone decides to DO whether it&#039;s driven by an urge or not. 

Ok what about those who are in the prison system and face an enormous amount of jail time? The majority of men in there are straight men until an incident happens or they just DECIDE to be with another man. Numerous individuals who are let back into the world go strictly back to women while others may do both. Hmm so I guess they were born gay right and they never had any attraction to a woman before?

Another thing I would like to point out is that those that have homosexual desires because of being molested as a child is a little more understandable for why they do what they do. I happen to know someone that had that happen to him when he was a child. He fights those urges though, at least to the best of my knowledge. The problem with me lies in the fact that people are justifying it as if there&#039;s nothing wrong with it. 

&quot;If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood [shall be] upon them&quot; (Lev. 20:13).

Oh and also for your info I don&#039;t like women and women together so you&#039;re not dealing with your average &quot;nigga&quot; here. I don&#039;t even talk to women who have done anything sexual with a woman in their past. So get your facts straight before you attack me with false accusations. When you act upon those urges that&#039;s when it becomes wrong. Honestly parenting has a lot to do with homosexuality as well. Unfortunately not having a male figure around definitely plays a huge part but that&#039;s just one factor. What I believe is that society influences more and more people to give in to their wicked crazy fantasies and it&#039;s ok. That&#039;s exactly what&#039;s going to happen on a bigger scale if these type of laws continue to pass. The difference between other sins that people commit and homosexuality is that at least the people that do the other sins ADMIT they&#039;re wrong. On other hand why do gays lie and tell everyone it&#039;s ok? Pick up the bible and read it to discover if it&#039;s right or not, ok. Ohhhh and do me a favor and tell Yah (God) that excuse of yours for your ACTIONS. Hey, I didn&#039;t say it was a sin, he did...... : ) have a nice day lol</description>

		<description>Perhaps &quot;smacky770&quot; prefers being called a BIGOT instead! He is certainly that! He is also very likely a Hypocrite as well! These days lots of fake &quot;righteous&quot; heterosexual black males are prejudiced against homosexual men, but somehow perfectly fine with homosexual women! 

And without this desperate lie about homosexuality being a so-called choice, they know they have absolutely no &quot;justification&quot; for either their bigotry or their hypocrisy! You&#039;d have to be an idiot anyway to attempt to tell a homosexual ANYTHING about homosexuality! This situation is just one more example of the majority taking advantage of the minority just like any other oppression.

When &quot;smacky770&#039;s&quot; very own son turns out to be homosexual some day, he will have learned the hard way that it is humanly impossible to &quot;choose&quot; to be homosexual. Furthermore, this idiot needs to know that homosexuality is NOT AN ACTION!!! That&#039;s just plain stupid! Homosexuality is an involuntary sexual attraction to members of ones own sex. One never has to DO anything to be homosexual! (What is this obsession the Bigots have about homosexual so-called &quot;actions&quot;anyway?)Homosexuality is also when one actually does NOT have any sexual attraction to members of the opposite sex! For some strange reason, the Prejudiced crowd always seem to forget or not know this part of the equation. And if this idiot honestly believes that homosexuals are able to enjoy almost all the rights heterosexuals have, he is even dumber than I thought!</description>

		<description>*sigh* the term homophobe or whatever is so misleading and untrue when it comes to me. Phobia means you have an irrational fear of something. I&#039;m not afraid of gays not one bit. That&#039;s an incorrect term by far. I just don&#039;t agree with it at all and it disgusts me. I really want to know what defines it as NOT being a choice. It&#039;s an action that&#039;s decided by the human mind. It&#039;s an excuse to say &quot;I was born that way&quot;. I&#039;ll never ever believe that nor will I ever change my mind about homosexuality. As far as the so called &quot;Civil Rights&quot; is concerned for allowing them to marry, marriage is something that should occur between a man and a woman plain and simple. They are already able to enjoy almost all the benefits of every other citizen but just how they aren&#039;t able to bear children the same applies for marriage.</description>

		<description>So, the &quot;Civil Rights Movement&quot; was intended for HETEROSEXUAL BLACKS ONLY! How sickening and sad an apparent fact this is! Hypocrisy is written all over the whole thing! 

Face facts folks, the average heterosexual black male prides himself on his FORNICATING ways! He does not care even one little bit about the bible saying that &quot;fornicators won&#039;t inherit the kingdom of God&quot; the way it does! Instead, he cherry picks what he perceives the bible is saying against homosexuals because he himself is a Hater of this particular group of human beings! These HYPOCRITES refuse to just let go and let God be God because they don&#039;t trust that God will ever actually punish homosexuals at all! They are obviously convinced that they will have to do it themselves! Deep down, they already know that ACTUAL homosexuality is not a choice that people make, which means they also know that God knows this too! They simply hate us because we frighten them so! They&#039;re pathetic really! And these hypocrites are not giving up their pre-marital or extra marital sex, for the bible, God, Jesus or anyone else! Make no mistake about that folks! Most of them FORNICATE by the time they&#039;re 14 or 15 for heavens sake! lol Because they would like to see &quot;us&quot; go to Hell, THEY think that we should have to go to Hell. lol And here&#039;s the real kicker lol They think that they should still go to Heaven no matter what the bible says against their favorite sexual improprieties, biblically speaking. Marriage rights for ANYONE is more a legal matter than anything else! We want the legal protections and benefits that marriage provides! Without it, the homophobes are in the same position over us that the racists were in over heterosexual as well as  homosexual blacks not so very long ago! The difference is, us homosexual blacks are still having to fight our way through the horror and the hypocrisy of heterosexual blacks! It&#039;s an Evil thing that they&#039;re doing to us!!!</description>

		<description>Homosexuality is in fact aganist Gods law, so I find the idea of homosexual&#039;s
being able to marry throwing much (dirt ) on Gods word.  

NAACP so I thought was created for just cause,s pertaining to black issue&#039;s, but this is not a black issue this is a world wide issue and not one that can be changed within the time it takes to vote.   NAACP has let me  and everyone else down
by taking this problem on, as for me I no longer feel that the NAACP is on my side.</description>

		<description>First off, let me say this. What a person does is that person&#039;s bizness, but whats right is right and whats wrong is wrong. The NAACP is definately wrong here to the point i question their agenda. You dont reward sin with sin. Homosexuality is an abomination. Homos will not inherit the Kingdom of Yah. We should be helping our people change instead of just saying &quot;its all about equality&quot;..thats bull crap..The church leaders,politicans, and leaders of our people are blinded, sleep, and ready to be pacified. Our people are destroyed because of a lack of knowledge not because of inequality. If the angels in heaven are not equal what makes you think humans will be equal? The people talking about they dont care and trying to justify wickedness have a serious problem on their hands because Yah (Psalms 68:5)says cursed it be those who call evil good and good evil. (Isaiah 5:20)..those of you who still believe in your high-dollar pimp pastors, politicans (Obama), and these wicked leaders, you are STILL trapped in the matrix!! Come out of Babylon and keep your eyes on the one you call Jesus(Yahushua). My black people you are the true Israelites of the bible according to Deuteronomy 28 chapter. We fit all the prophecies not those gutter rats claiming to be Jewish today. Open yo eyes before its too late and you be destroyed with Babylon says Yah!!!</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First off, let me say this. What a person does is that person&#8217;s bizness, but whats right is right and whats wrong is wrong. The NAACP is definately wrong here to the point i question their agenda. You dont reward sin with sin. Homosexuality is an abomination. Homos will not inherit the Kingdom of Yah. We should be helping our people change instead of just saying &#8220;its all about equality&#8221;..thats bull crap..The church leaders,politicans, and leaders of our people are blinded, sleep, and ready to be pacified. Our people are destroyed because of a lack of knowledge not because of inequality. If the angels in heaven are not equal what makes you think humans will be equal? The people talking about they dont care and trying to justify wickedness have a serious problem on their hands because Yah (Psalms 68:5)says cursed it be those who call evil good and good evil. (Isaiah 5:20)..those of you who still believe in your high-dollar pimp pastors, politicans (Obama), and these wicked leaders, you are STILL trapped in the matrix!! Come out of Babylon and keep your eyes on the one you call Jesus(Yahushua). My black people you are the true Israelites of the bible according to Deuteronomy 28 chapter. We fit all the prophecies not those gutter rats claiming to be Jewish today. Open yo eyes before its too late and you be destroyed with Babylon says Yah!!!</p>

		<description>For those who oppose the NAACP decision look in the mirror. You are opposing a persons Civil Rights simply because they are different. This is the same mind set that enslaved million of Africans in America for 200 plus years. It is a slippery slope when you choose to turn a blind eye to bigotry and prejudice. 
&quot;Ask not for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee...&quot; .</description>

		<description>What side of Hell do these prejudiced cowards who would deny homosexuals the rights that they take for granted everyday think they are going?!

Let&#039;s be real for once people. It&#039;s not just marriage. It&#039;s the military, the boy-scouts, the clergy, inclusion within anti hate-crime legislation, adoption, etc. Blacks who are not homosexual tend to be full of hate and discrimination where all of these very important things are concerned! And the religious EXCUSE to hate and discriminate has become obsessive among these cowards! I&#039;m beginning to think that they&#039;ve convinced themselves that Hell is going to be SEGREGATED somehow! When I think about what the bible so clearly says about &quot;straight&quot; people, I am convinced that they are obviously ignoring that stuff on purpose! These blatant double standards are proof of people who hate homosexuals LONG BEFORE THEY EVER JOIN A CHURCH! lol This religious excuse to discriminate against people that they in reality hate because they are different in some fundamental way is very transparent! Now that the hypocrites are exposed, I ask again, just what side of Hell do they think they are going to?! Jesus never bothered saying one thing about homosexuals! Hypocrites, on the other hand...</description>

		<description>Homosexuality is Not a religious matter no matter how desperately Bigots need it to be for purposes of &quot;justifying&quot; the Bigotry and utter discrimination that so many of them have become so accustomed to imposing upon innocent &quot;gay&quot; men, in particular!

Regardless of what the hypocrites who regularly fornicate, commit adultery, divorce etc. say, it is still Not a religious issue! It never has been, and it in fact will never will be!

Regardless of what ancient homophobes may or may not have written in the bible, it is still Not a religious issue! It&#039;s pretty clear they had the same kinds of silly fears and misconceptions that the modern bigots have today!

Men like me and oh so many others don&#039;t deserve your hatred, your patronizing attitudes, or your hypocrisy! From now on, let it be us, who are in fact homosexual ourselves, tell you the facts about who we are!

Arrogant bigots have allot of nerve thinking they can tell us even one thing about homosexuality! 
Hypocritical heterosexual blacks oppose marriage rights for homosexuals despite what they themselves have 
experienced historically where marriage rights are concerned. HYPOCRISY IS A STRANGE AND BITTER ENEMY!</description>

		<description>What Gay couples are not fighting for is approval. We&#039;re fighting for all the &quot;next of kin&quot; rights you enjoy without knowing. They aren&#039;t covered in domestic partnerships. Educating yourself on what gay people are really fighting for is the key. We&#039;re not anti God at all. All I can say is you can&#039;t survive mentally or physically in a world who hates you and feels justified in that hate via the Bible if it weren&#039;t for God. If my job has domestic partnership as part of my benefits, they take it out of my check every week. Not out of yours. Still trying to understand the thinking. But until the unfairness that Gay people live everyday happens to you or someone you truly love, you can&#039;t quite understand. &quot;Putting things in a Will&quot; doesn&#039;t give the protection needed while still living. Like being denied to see a lover in Intensive care that only allows family members is one. We&#039;re not just fighting for after we die. There are also Gay and Lesbian people who have biological children they&#039;re raising with a partner. We really need to looked pass our own little worlds. Maybe you should have real dialogue with a gay person and their families.</description>

		<description>I would like to respond to one comment in which the writer stated that s/he could not understand how protecting his/her partner legally is jeopardizing the heterosexual family (strange description for a family, but ok). The problem that I see in it is that since the marriage is not legal in the eyes of the Lord then there is no basis for what you are trying to do. We are strange people, we truly are because we go to church once or twice a week but we do not hear the words. This is why I am so against these new clergy people who preach and minister on prosperity and money and not on what the Bible is teaching. 

To me, gay marriages is the same as if you are trying to protect a boyfriend or a girlfriend. Even common law marriages don&#039;t get these types of benefits. If we allow for partnerships of gay couples then why not boyfriend / girlfriend? We all want to protect someone and if we start down this road then it will just continue with the next group that wants to sue. My dismay with this is not how you chose to live your life, it is about others having to pick up expenses because you may be a government employee or to offset the new laws companies push the cost back off to its customers. Why should I as a taxpayer have to pick up that cost? You want to protect your love one? Then put them in your will.</description>

		<description>At first, I didn&#039;t support gay marriage nor gay relations but I had to give up all assumptions and propositional faculties in order to abide by gay folk. Yes, God did make Adam and Eve but Adam and Eve did sin. That is to say, God didn&#039;t damn Adam and Eve. Nonetheless, they disobeyed God. Of course, it goes much deeper but that&#039;s in a broad sense. However, what God does damn is the hatred among our lesbian and gay brothers and sisters. God is a loving God. What this nation has been drunk with is this notion of heterosexism. 3 out of 50 states support gay marriage. I still wrestle with some homophobic notions that I have yet to overcome but I respect them as long as they respect me. I don&#039;t want to bring the constitution argument in either because the 1st amendment does in fact protect their rights of &quot;freedom of speech&quot; but at the same extent, our constitutional rights are violated everyday. Gay folk are suffering because it&#039;s safe to say that America, home of the free, can&#039;t forget that before the constitution was ratified in 1778, a document called the Declaration of Independence signed in 1776 says that, &quot;We hold these truths to be self-evident, that ALL MEN are created EQUAL&quot;. Our history is a vital part of what is current in our present day. But what is truth? Truth is allowing the suffer to speak. That suffering is our lesbian and gay brothers and sisters. We all know black and white folk were and still are being oppressed today with that cynical, dehumanizing term called racism followed by discrimination. It&#039;s moral to only conclude that two wrongs don&#039;t make a right. That is to say, just because they have a sexual preference doesn&#039;t mean we have to treat them any different, just like black and white folk were treated. Yes, race and sexual preference are different but in fact similar, because the end result is what matters and that is being discriminated against.</description>

		<description>Furthermore, I hope ALL who have negatively spoke against homosexuality and this issue of marriage is married and raising their families as they are &quot;supposed&quot; to. So that means you who are married should have ONE wife and ONE husband and NOT lusting after another man&#039;s wife or another woman&#039;s husband. This is called ADULTERY. Remember, Jesus said that if a man LOOKS on a woman with lust in his heart he has ALREADY sinned. Also, if you are NOT married you should NOT be having sex seeing as though you are not married which is called FORNICATION. 
Don&#039;t believe some of it believe ALL of it.</description>

		<description>This is a shame!  While the NAACP should fight for the rights of everyone, particularly Black people, to support gay marriage is going to far.  Love is not just Love.  The Bible says God is Love.  If God is Love and Love produces Life, homosexuality is anti-Life and therefore anti-God, because NO Life can come from a gay marriage - NONE!  The NAACP is lost in time.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a shame!  While the NAACP should fight for the rights of everyone, particularly Black people, to support gay marriage is going to far.  Love is not just Love.  The Bible says God is Love.  If God is Love and Love produces Life, homosexuality is anti-Life and therefore anti-God, because NO Life can come from a gay marriage &#8211; NONE!  The NAACP is lost in time.</p>

		<description>I see alot of people in here who do not agree with &quot;homsexuality&quot; however they agree with fornication, adultery and having children out of wedlock. wow, hoe hypocritical and inconsistent are we!!!
So, its not okay to be homosexual but it is okay to have sex unmarried, have sex with another man&#039;s wife or another woman&#039;s husband and to have children outside of the confines of this &quot;perfect&quot; marriage that people love to scream about- which by the way sees an over 50% divorce rate because of infidelity and finances. What will homosexual marriage do for your household? What will homosexual marriage do to your paycheck at the end of the week? What will homosexual marriage do to your faith? Or are you afraid homosexual marriage will PROVE something to this world that you could not prove? No matter what laws they pass in this world it is MY personal responsibility to live as I should. Jesus died for ALL people just just a certain group. It is not our job to demean, belittle nor negatively impact the lives of anyone. It is our job to show love, justice and peace to all- irregardless of who and what they are.</description>

		<description>I am against same sex marriages and relationships but I do not judge individuals on the decisions they make. I will, however, trash my membership application for the NAACP because as an organization it cannot speak for its members on something like this. Organizations should always take a neutral stance unless it is one created for the purpose it is supporting. I am a believer of The Bible and we cannot pick and chose which passages of the spoken word we follow. The NAACP has lost my support.</description>

		<description>YaY! In the end they are people, human beings, and I support their rights. I&#039;m glad the NAACP are reaching out in their support as well.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m still trying to understand how protecting my partner legally would jeopardize a heterosexuals family. The California bill was mostly sponsored by the Mormon church. Everyone might want to research what the Mormon church REALLY thinks about black people. If you want to quote the Bible, you might want to read Ezekiel where he writes why Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed (Not adhering to the Law of Hospitality -  you might want to find out what the hospitality law requirements were for the treatment of strangers). Remember the same book was twisted to justify slavery of us. Sexual choice - Many of you believe that sexuality is a choice. But if that were true, everyone would be attracted to both sexes and then make a choice of which one they wanted to be with. If you were never attracted to the same sex or vice versa, you didn&#039;t have a choice. You are who you are. And the idea of changing someone&#039;s sexuality is a myth. Some people are Bisexual but most will not admit it. Those who do give straight people the perception that their sexuality has changed but it didn&#039;t. They were just Bisexual and acted on it. We need to ignore what the media portrays of ANY minority. Look how blacks overall are portrayed. This all sounds like the &quot;Tyranny of the Majority&quot; we lived under in the past. Now we&#039;re on the other side of the fence and have taken the same stance as our oppressors who also used the Bible to oppress us. Overall, I see we still have hatred for each other in the black community. I wonder has anyone looked up Bayard Rustin and what he did for the Civil Rights movement. Oh yes, he was a flamboyantly gay black man who was a major organizer for Civil Rights. And now you want to deny people like us the right to be equal in this nation. I know we all need to educate ourselves on this matter so when you possibly have Gay,Lesbian,Bisexual, or Transgendered child, you won&#039;t beat yourself up or your child mentally after all the praying for it to not be so is over. The real reason why our families aren&#039;t staying together is most often because of the sexual conduct of hetero men and women.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t support the whole gay idea. I don&#039;t think it&#039;s right to be quite honest. But I will respect gay people. In fact, I&#039;ve got a few friends who are gay. In the end, it doesn&#039;t matter that the Naacp supports gay marriage. It won&#039;t effect me and my life. I&#039;m still gonna be straight!</description>
