Not A Hate Crime?

[TeeDub]

Criminal acts are already illegal.

If they really want to do something about it, defend yourselves.   There is a reason our fore-fathers gave us the 2nd amendment.

Wow, you are so smart- you gots me all figured out.

You understand nothing, except whats in your feeble, bigoted, closed little mind. Therefore, there's nothing more to discuss with you.

Now that is rich.  I am the bigot becuase I don't support unequal treatment of individuals?  I suppose you think that telling people they are close minded is in some way making an argument.  I can see that you simply don't have any real response and I was on the money.  Congrats on being a internet jackass.

No, you are a bigot because you do support unequal treatment of individuals. I am not making an argument that you are closed minded- you have already proven that fact.

My responses on this issue have been numerous, if you had bothered to read anything before you started posting your ignorant, bullying replies. Like I said before, there is nothing left to discuss with you.

It's okay lockers.  

Don't worry about it, logic seems to mean nothing to azbad unless you are willing to give favorable treatment to people based on their sexual preferences.

Again, you resort to name calling.  If I don't agree that your narrow solution is the only fix to a legitimate issue, you call me an offensive adjective.  Not only does this undermine your position, it makes other, more reasonable and educated people who support your cause, look bad.  You make the rest of us progressives appear to be entitlement seeking and hypocritical.  By all means, continue to imagine that your choice of personal insult over reasoned debate is going to promote your ill-conceived crusade.

Sorry that I haven't kept up with the blog that I started.  I've been in constant meetings dealing with my Oil and Gas clients who have been affected by the SemGroup bankruptcy.  

In response to the post that Texas governor has, in essence if not in fact, told the GLBT community to find somewhere else to live, my experience has been that, in the Metroplex, the community is very accepting and, in fact, adopts a laissez faire approach.

As a matter of fact, and what will undoubtedly inspire more discussion, both my husband and I are members of Log Cabin Republicans.  We feel that it is important to attempt to change the views of the ignorant from the inside.  While we do agree with the Republican stance on most issues of government, taxes, and social programs, we certainly disagree with the official view on gays.

However, it must be understood that the attitude of most people who are "anti-gay" is based on some antiquated belief in a transliteration of the Bible.  (Specifically Leviticus).  As a Jew, I can tell you that a selective reading, by most Christians, is dead wrong.  If you're going to decry homosexuality as a mortal sin, then you must also decry people who have been divorced and remarried as mortal sinners, as well as those who eat pork and shellfish, and those that do not keep Saturday as the Sabbath.

I will stop before I go into a religious diatribe over the different interpretations of the Torah.

Shalom.

Thank you for your post, and thank you for fighting the fight for justice, as I and millions of other americans do every day. Eventually we will prevail, just like the civil rights movement in the 60's, and numerous others. I firmly believe that people who actually use their brain and know what is right, rather that following some brainwashing ideas formed by religious zealots, will get the laws changed and create an equal and just society for all of us. It really doesn't matter what the haters think- they will not win.
