These CP reporters got it wrong again! Instead of "Gay Rights Agenda Is Shutting Down Debate on Homosexuality, Says Author" the title should be "Conservative Christians loosing debate on homosexuality".

Ya mean to tell me Bell thinks God isn’t going to smite all the people we personally dislike? That’s a drag….might as well become Islamic then…

...so you now judge people on behalf of God?

...and how many gays to you know personally...?

Every year for the past 20 years I have lived in California I have watched San Francisco's annualy gay pride parade where half a million people march down the main street of SF advocating for gay rights, and certainly marriage rights. This is not as many as in NY or LA, and over the past years there are gay rights marches in smaller cities as towns across the US and the world. I have never seen...more

Every year for the past 20 years I have lived in California I have watched San Francisco's annualy gay pride parade where half a million people march down the main street of SF advocating for gay rights, and certainly marriage rights. This is not as many as in NY or LA, and over the past years there are gay rights marches in smaller cities as towns across the US and the world.

I have never seen half a million people marching anywhere for the right to marry their uncles or nephews.

Same sex couples (including myself) simply want to take part, value, and uphold civil marriage. Claiming ss marriage will lead to people marrying their uncles and newphews has long been a tactic used to discredit the idea of ss marriage, when there is no evidence anywhere that that would ever, ever be the case.less

....and misinformation, largely from the conservative christian community, is why conservative christians are becomming more and more irrelevant on this issue.

What is your evidence that "such homes deprive children of eitther a mother or a father and by so doing burden/harm those children."? All studies so far show that, to the contrary, children raised by same-sex parent are as healthy and well adjusted as kids raised in any other family configuration. This is not a SSM "achilles heel". This is misinformation.

Wow. Where do I start with this? Homosexual and heterosexual marriage don't equate. > of course they do. THat's what so threatening to conservative christians. I'm a gay man, a Christian, who is happily partnered and raising our two children together. You need to come for one dinner at our house to realize we are an American family as strong as any American family. That's the problem an...more

> of course they do. THat's what so threatening to conservative christians. I'm a gay man, a Christian, who is happily partnered and raising our two children together. You need to come for one dinner at our house to realize we are an American family as strong as any American family.

That's the problem and that's the issue at hand. Voters in 31 states have agreed that "marriage" applies to a relationship between a man and a woman.

> If we would have taken a "vote" on blacks being able to use white people's drinking fountains in the 60s, what do you think the result would have been? Would that make it right?

Homosexuals are trying to redefine marriage, spouse, partner, husband, wife, and family to include a whole array of LGBT perversions that have nothing to do with a normal natural family unit.

> Nope. As a homosexual, I am simply seeking civil recognition for my family, the way hetereosexuals have. Aint nothing "perverted" about it.

Why shouldn't we stand opposed to those who are trying to totally redefine marriage and the American family into something that fits their twisted sense of confused self identity and sexual perversion?

> What's "twisted" about having a husband and two kids? And a mortgage....and a preschool... I'm not "confused" about my self identity any more than you are....

Homosexuals are using the smoke-screen of imagined "minority rights" to impose their demands on the rest of American society. And the majority of Americans say NO.

> Actually, public opinion on this is changing vastly. And you really think that wanting to pay the same taxes as the hetero family next door is "imposing my demands"? I think it's just being fair.less

Hey Mohler- DOMA is a nasty, mean-spirited, bigoted law that deprives a very small minority the rights that the vast majority enjoy. I'm sorry your great "morals" and "values" that apparently you think we should all have to go by don't allow you the basic humanity to let people marry whom they really love in civil law. I have learned more about morals and values from Pres Obama that I will ever...more

...AND there are many reasons Christians should stay out of politics.

Hey Mohler- Are you as "committed to the biblical truth" about shellfish?
