For years, gays (except librarians, stage actors, ballet dancers, male models, some female athletes, women's clothing designers, and hair dressers) thought they needed to hide their sexual preferences. Despite their fear and self-loathing, gays are the most educated and wealthiest demographic in the country. Again, except librarians. They weren’t loud, or rich, but they were very out, proving it can be done—even in the 60s and 70s. But that's all changed now--the president finally came out in 2012 against traditional marriage and the entertainment industry particularly has been relentless for four decades in providing gay themed and gay story line and gay actors for TV and movies--far beyond their 2% representation in the population. So now they are popping out of closets like they've run out of moth balls--professional athletes, news anchors, authors, etc. The response? To demonize Christians who have a biblical view of marriage. So I guess it isn't about sexual preference or love or marriage at all, but about power and bullying, very human traits and behaviors that transcend gender, race, ethnicity and religion.

What you wrote is inaccurate and offensive at so many levels. Do you really believe this garbage or are you just trying to provoke responses? If only you would use your writing ability for good instead of spreading hate and untruths. Isn't that what Jesus calls us to do?? Some of us only demonize so-called Christians that are bullies, not those that have different views on marriage equality.
What exactly is inaccurate? What is hateful? Gay librarians? I count many as my friends. The economic success of gays? Check it. The gay themes in TV and movies? Perhaps you've missed how you've been influenced. The bullying? Have you seen the $135,000 judgment against the Christian bakers? Please, enlighten me on where I'm misspoken or been hateful or provocative. Destroying someone's livelihood is hateful; insisting Christians change their beliefs on marriage is bullying. Calling me names and attempting to shame me into writing something else is also bullying. It's apparently a universal sin.

She might change her tune when in a few years it's decided (by whom?) that having Mother's Day is homophobic because only women have that power.
There are many men and women who are denied marriage licenses--or even domestic partnerships with Ohio State's insurance. Just try to marry your brother, or your first cousin (or in Ohio even a first cousin once removed); or someone whose divorce is not yet legal; or someone under age 18 without parental consent (in Ohio, varies by state); or someone with a venereal disease (depends on the state). Marriage between a man and woman has been recognized by all cultures, religions, and political entities, but in the 21st century, people who believe this are being ridiculed and marginalized. And until 2012, those bad people included our president Obama (although he lied about his beliefs in order to get elected) and ex-president Clinton and his wife.
"Some of us only demonize so-called Christians that are bullies, not those that have different views on marriage equality." Well, that doesn't sound very Christian. 1) demonizing "some" based on personal standards 2) judging whether or not someone is a real Christian 3) making exceptions for those who think like she does. Whew. These comments are giving Christians a bad name.
"In Canada, freedoms of speech, press, religion, and association have suffered greatly due to government pressure. The debate over same-sex marriage that is taking place in the United States could not legally exist in Canada today. Because of legal restrictions on speech, if you say or write anything considered “homophobic” (including, by definition, anything questioning same-sex marriage), you could face discipline, termination of employment, or prosecution by the government."

Not worth the energy to respond, as facts don't appear to be relevant. One correction though -- I'm a "he" not a "she." A Christian, heterosexual male, in fact, who is quite conservative on a number of issues but who finds opponents to marriage equality ridiculous and generally ill informed. Entitled to their opinions, sure. But still obnoxious. I got to your blog by mistake and won't be back.
Well, being a Christian conservative hasn't taught you anything about history, culture, marriage, the constitution, or the Bible. Many Christians are like you and set in their ways and see the pope when you look in the mirror--everyone should think your way. I didn't call you names or impune your intelligence and you could cite nothing in what I said that wasn't accurate.
He seems concerned that he might be mistaken for a woman or a homosexual. Issues?
