Hmmm, this "poll" seems starkly at odds with the NY Times/CBS NEWS/poll (April, 2007) in which 28% of Americans think gays should have the right to marry, with a further 32% saying they should have civil unions with all the rights, privileges and obligations of marriage, just not the name marriage. (That totals 60% IN FAVOR of equality!) Only 35% say they should have no legal recognition.

So now it seems to all the world that "patriot" = bigot.
Guess all that talk about religious freedom in America was just so much hot air.

Not enough "God talk"??? Criminy - America has had so much of it in the last 7 years and look where it's gotten you.
Seems you've forgotten the "there shall be no religious test" to hold public office 'promise'.

So much for the "promise" that "there shall be NO religious test" for holding public office.

Hmm, the headline reads in part "... Promote the Homosexual Agenda". Well, since gays are seeking nothing more than equality, promoting THAT does sound like a good idea.
However, it turned out not to "promote" anything, but to discuss and debate issues of concern to gay and lesbian Americans - SOME of whom are Christian too.
Do I detect a little bias, Mr. black?

Very telling that "Christian" Post would label it a "Homosexual Curriculum" instead of an Equality Curriculum.

"I really think they tried to do what was right"
That's a joke, right? Who would Jesus reject?

Since when did one's "sinfulness" determine one's civil rights in America???
I came to this board looking for Christian input into the debate and see none. How sad. I do see a lot of name calling and judgementalism, though. Sadder still, come to think of it.

"sissies as public servants"
You already have them. Have had, for ages. So what?
"hypocrites as "believers"
You already have those - in multitudes. Google Senators Allen, Vitter and Craig for but a few examples.

astorino,
"The Bible is clear on marriage and alternate lifestyles."
If only it WERE "clear", then this "debate" wouldn't be happening. It IS clear on divorce - Jesus Himself was agin it. Be that as it may, ALL of the leading Republican candidates have had at least one divorce. The same cannot be said of the Democratic candidates. Some "lifestyle" eh?

robinhound,
"If it goes on like that, one day the USA will be led by a gay president"
Why, you say that like it's a bad thing.
"One day"??? Read up on Lincoln, woodja?

Now, having got THAT off my chest, the Camp Meeting Association fought to be considered SECULAR so that it would recieve government funds. Now it wants to reclaim its 'religious' nature in order to discriminate against God's gay and lesbian children. And with nary a peep about the other secual, civil unions that have been performed there.
Hypocrisy of the utmost level.

How very, very interesting that a site calling itself "Christian Post" gets equated/conflated with this garbage: "THE KU KLUX KLAN IS THE ONLY CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION STANDING UP TO THIS HORRIFIC AND DEMONIC SOCIETY WE NOW LIVE. "
Jesus would weep.

Upon further reflection, laforte, hermaphrodites DO have the sexual organs of both male and female. Does God not love them too? (Not that they have aa thing to do with equal marriage or anything.) So we must presume you DO support equality for God's hermaphrodite children, yes?

Interesting asides...
1. I had to "lie" to register. Apparently Christian Post thinks only Americans exist, so I had to choose a "State" from which I hail.
2. You can always tell immediately whether or not a blog is pro-equality or not by when they put quote marks around the word marriage. I am married, no smar-, oooops, quote marks required.

laforte,
You seem to misunderstand the "gay agenda" (as you call it). It is nothing more, less or other than equality before the law. Why you would not support that is beyond undestanding. Doesn't the Constitution 'guarantee' it? (I mean, the Constitution you have, not the one W wants to change it to.)
On our own we are little more than bits of stone and glass. Together we are the Body of Christ. Holy Bible: Mosaic is an invitation to experience Christ in His Word and in the responses of his people. Each week, as you reflect on guided Scripture readings aligned with the church seasons, you will receive a wealth of insight from historical and contemporary writings.
