| How The Ignorant Religions Fail, Epically At That, To Accept, Or Even Try To Understand, Gay Couples. |
| Though we may say we've come a long way, having tried to get past racial and sexual discrimination, we have yet to actually conquer any of these. But when I read of a young gay man being shot, a teenager like me, an elderly man like a grandpa, for the mere fact that they like men? It makes me want to disown humanity, who wants to be a member of a race that destroys itself? |

I think it's appalling how gays are rejected by some churches - who are supposed to be full of good
people! Gay people do not choose to be gay and are often to afraid to tell people they are. 1/10 of
people are gay, but I bet you can't name the 1/10 of people that you know to be gay. It is so cruel
to them, they shouldn't be scared of letting people know who they are, and imagine their guilt when
they hear the church say that they are wrong and evil - it's not even their fault! |

I agree that there are people in the world, especially the religious who will never even attempt to
except gay people. People will do terrible wrongs to people who are different and claim they
disagree with their lifestyle or differences. Me and my boyfriend are still sometimes subject to
funny looks or verbal abuse. But to add that is the select few who are ignorant or overly
religious.
While we can't ignore the evil of humanity don't disown it yet there are people in the world who do
so much good, not just fighting for the rights of gay couples but the equal rights of everyone. |

You don't kill people because they are gay that is unacceptable. The church I belong to does not
accept homosexuality because the bible condemns it along with many other things. However a religion
has to have standards or else you should call it a country club. My churches standards are set by
the bible not by ignorance, and by the way i am not a holy roller I will be the first to tell you
there are a lot of standards in the bible that I fall short on. I am also on our local planning com.
With a gay woman, I do not agree with her lifestyle and she knows it, however we get along really
well and she is someone whose opinion I have come to respect very much. I don't know if you are
including Christianity in the ignorance part of this or not. |

It is always wrong to kill anyone because of the colour of their skin, or for the gender they are
sexually attracted to.
Period.
But, it is coming to the point that when a straight person turns down a gay person who hits on them,
the straight person is taking flak for it.
That, is also wrong.
There is nothing wrong with being straight, not at all gay.
No one should have to put up with sexual harrassment. |

I guess they are 'ignorant" because they do not fit with your world view.
By the way- What is really achieved if someone 'understands" you? Understanding does not mean
someone will change their views. |

Accusing "religion" of being ignorant, because they "fail" to accept or even try to "understand" gay
couples reveals a certain amount of ignorance in its own right. I am assuming that you are
referring to the more monotheistic religions, such as Muslim, Christian, and Judaism? If you are,
then please mention that in your statement, because you are lumping all religions into the same
category. There are way too many differences among them to treat them as one.
And why should those, whom I am assuming you are referring, religions be forced to accept something
they are totally against? It's the same ole' song and dance! Claiming someone or some group is
intolerant by expressing against them the characteristic of intolerance, while demanding the other
be tolerant. Going around in circles. As long as man has existed, no person has ever gladly
accepted something they are totally against without the use of force against them. Would I be off
base if I said that you would be in favor of forcing acceptance for something?
And to tie in the act of murder by murderous persons of gay people with the so-called failure of
religion just isn't fitting the puzzle. If you wish to disown humanity then that is your choice,
but why disown what and who you are? Mankind has always been at war with itself. It is an
unavoidable fact. If a problem exists, then come up with a logical and reasonable solution to fix
it. |

Why would a religion, that is against homosexuals, ever accept gays? The Bible isn't some flexible
guideline that can be changed to suit one's lifestyle. I personally think it is wrong to hate on
people that are different, but religion does not have to accept or understand what it deems as
wrong. Would a far-left Liberal Democrat try to accept or understand a far-right Conservative
Republican? Nope. |
