McCall Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Fact is that most Christians are pro-gay rights. Don't let Fox News try to tell you otherwise.Plus it's Christian churches wanting to marry gay couples that put the lie to the whole "religious freedom!" nonsense.Now, the increasingly-small but vocal minority of people who want gay men and women to remain second-class citizens is almost exclusively made up of fundamentalist Christians, but that doesn't make all Christians the enemy.Don't swallow Fox's idiotic bait. Please. That's why I'm posting constantly in here. I do not like those that use the Bible as the reason to keep homosexuals and women down. They take the fun out of fundamental. The Episcopalian church of my late father is very pro same sex marriage: The priest married my cousin to her partner two summers ago. They're not here. They're not gonna read your posts. And again that was not the intent of this thread. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Lee Noire Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 From what I saw he did play well. He didn't beast anything but he did well for his first taste of the league. He, like Clowney, overran the ball carrier a couple times but he did ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Drip, drip, drip. The world marches forward. Sarafin won't make it to the NFL, but by coming out he's made it less a big deal for the next guy who does. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

We're getting to the point where people are realizing it's not a big deal, nor is it a hinderance to his team or his ability to play a game, and eventually it'll just be another trait listed in the bio like being right-handed or having brown eyes. My new boss is a gay man and I never think about it and it never gets in the way of the work we do. I don't see why a locker room would be any different. It's amazing how much sexual orientation doesn't matter. I mean that in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 We as a society should be proud of how far we've come, but it's important not to be satisfied and lose sight of how far we still have to go.

Your new mayor is gay; so too is a big chunk of the Seattle City Council. These are things you may not know, because they don't matter in Seattle. Or, that is, they matter, but in a way that people were able to accept and get over a long, long time ago. Homo/heterosexual equality is the expectation in cities like Seattle, and -- on the whole -- it's pretty awesome. You get to save your civil unrest over more important things (like, say, bike lanes and parking rates). 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
