Kids' Dress-Up Day Draws Christian Ire

Almost every school has a crazy dress day at some point and a few students always do this. And now all of a sudden it's an issue? Anyone who sees it has promoting transgenderism really, really, really (I cannot stress that enough.) needs help. If anything, it's lampooning it.

The same threats applied when we legalized interracial marriages, and segregationists often used the bible to back up their positions. In addition, James Dobson is still believed to be against interracial relationships, as was the "Christian" Bob Jones University, as recently as 2000. As for public schools, obviously those books are needed with kids still hating, bullying, and in some cases murdering fellow students for being gay. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

You quote this Stanton as if he were some great orator, when in fact he is a minion of James Dobson and his Focus on the Family (or as I call it, Focus Only on the Families We Like). As for that #2, he warns that kids would view husband/wife or mother/father relationships as optional--as opposed to what, mandatory? Is that the kind of fascist state he envisions for America? (Actually, I believe so.)

Equally disgusting is your assessment that same-sex parenting amounts to "child-suffering." The most suffering a child faces in this situation is discrimination and hate from fascists or the children of fascists he/she would encounter at school--and that's not their problem, it's yours. This same kind of fear-mongering was used when interracial marriage was legalized and people didn't want to be "forced to accept it". And lies were spread that children of such marriages were doomed to miserable lives. Same lies, different people.

So in other words, Quecat, the bible contradicts itself. What I see in one passage may not be true in another. That's what we've been saying all along. It is impossible to take every single passage literally and say it's all "God's word." If you don't see that, then you're the one who's "hard-hearted and stiff-necked."

When the bible says "Slaves, obey your masters," it clearly means that to liberate oneself would be against God's word. The parts about killing non-believers and disobedient children were also written in such a way that they are not optional.

"It seems that we want to pick and choose what we like and believe what we accept. Why can we not believe the Bible when it speaks against the things that we do? "

I guess I'm guilty of that. My whole family is. My brother's kids have disobeyed their parents a few times, and he has yet kill any of them. What's up with that? Of course that would be against the law, but that's what happens when you have "activist judges" criminalizing biblical behavior.

So Kern makes her extremist remarks, then gets tons of comments in protest (from the general population, not just gay people)--but here the story is about those few crazy people whose e-mails were included with everyone else's, NOT the 6,997 other sane people who were disgusted by this supposed-Christian's words. Phan, get a grip.

Give 'em the gospel, but at the same time inform them that any sexual activity carries with it risk and responsibility. To simply say, "the bible says don't do it," and leave it at that, is Wrong. Do not hold back information or protection.

1man: "why would someone be going to a counselor to fix what is a problem in their life if it didn't bring about (depression and low self-esteem) in the first place?"

The depression and low self esteem are the RESULT of such "counseling." If they are experiencing those emotions beforehand, it is only because of outside influences making them feel they're not right as they are. Then they make it worse, and take your money in the process.

Well, Chris, I guess the difference is that most of the people have had sex changes actually get results, and they're glad they did it. I don't hear many testimonials from people who tried to change their genders and failed or regretted it. And they're actually changing because they want to, not because someone has been telling them for years if they don't have a sex change they're going to hell. Finally, you don't hear about people who have sex changes finding out years later that it didn't take and theyre still the same sex, although if there were a self-certifide sex change surgeon like "conversion therapist" Richard Cohen out there, I'm sure the lawsuits would be all over the newspapers.

People who transition take hormones for at least a year before surgery, and they live their lives as the other gender the majority of the time. So it's not a case of someone tomorrow deciding he/she is another gender. I don't know about the case cited here, but usually it's not someone "just saying" he's female, or she's male. With locker rooms, it's complicated because of the removal of clothing, but with restrooms it shouldn't matter.

Well, Chris, from what I read in this very article, the transgendered person wasn't the one looking! If anyone is going to the trouble of taking hormones and transitioning, it only makes sense to have that person use the restroom appropriate to the gender he/she presents as. Judging from news articles in the past several years, it's the transgendered person who's safety is the least secure, not the other way around.
