I’ve never had a problem with anyone in the GLBT community who claimed that marriage wasn’t “their thing” or even a “good thing”… different strokes et al… and that attitude was quite prevelant in the 60’s from the youth movements who embraced free love and communal life, etc…

HOWEVER, I have never understood why someone within our own community would feel the need to deny marriage to those who seek it just because he didn’t personally believe it to be right for himself.

So good for you for changing your mind on that… but it’s a bit late and I’m tired of dealing with midnight converts. Maybe you might want to rethink your choices with respect to your role as an “opinion-maker”. You don’t seem to be very good at it. Maybe WalMart is hiring.

I have lost all respect for you, David. I never agreed with you, but I thought you had integrity. You had no problem spewing homophobic messages on this blog, but now you shirk your responsibility to undo as much of the damage you’ve done as possible.

Shame on you. You are not a righteous man.

I hope there are legitimate reasons for not elaborating. How you could have had respect for this movement from the beginning is beyond me? I don’t care if we call it marriage, civil unions or honky tonk, I just want to make sure my partner and I are protected and provided equal rights. However, to be so evasive about qutting the blog is truly bizarre and irresponsible. Oh well, I’ll consider the source.

Nobody is free of sin: true. homosexuality is a sin: hhighly open to quesiton.

People feel they are fighting for the lives of the next generation: for gay people, yes. For heteros: since 95% of the population on the planet is straight, or allegedly so, and overbreeding is their m.o., I think that is just another way of saying “I hate queers.’

Thank you for finally seeing the light of day. I have to say many of us saw this coming. Not to rub it in…but had you come to me first I surely would have warned you that this little flirtation of yours with the anti-Gay crowd would come to no good end. How could it not?

Anyway, good luck to you…and take care.

I hope you remain blogging in some form on culture issues … It is not right that homosexuality and religion are at odds. Nobody in the church has the right to throw rocks, nobody is free of sin. The issue of marriage is a decisive issue; people feel they are fighting for the lives of the next generation. I hope your existence has rebuked people who may have in their passion forgotten they are no better than anyone else.

It’s good to see that you have finally come to realize that nobody knows how to lie and bear false witness like a Southern Baptist, or an SB clone. Their unholy trinity:
1) slavery
2) women voting
3) sexual orientation

Two down. One to go.

Theological mythology is the strongest and most powerful addictive drug yet invented by humans. How many different versions of Christianity are there? The vast majority of them are a mockery of Jesus Christ.

All I can say is I’m not totally shocked. Mr. Benkof may have some strong views, but twisted and ignored what posters who disagreed with him were trying to say.
