Comments on: $1.5 Million Spent On Anti-Gay Marriage Ad

[tayon]

WOW what a waste of all that money.Everybody hates America an America hates it own self ,no wonder we are no longer leaders,and if this is freedom. then we are surely doomed.pretty soon all our enemies will have to do is sit back an watch us kill each other off with our own hateful ways toward each other

[lingski]

This is as outrageous as it gets. This money could have been spent on education, but as it is, the proponets of this ad are mired in ignorance.

Personally... I'll never get married again. From now on I'm just going to find someone I don't like and buy them a house.

Please don't group all religious people in as a bunch of unthinking nuts that blindly follow their leaders and use their religion as their shield to be bigots. There are many religious people who interpret what different texts mean on their own and are all for inclusive policies like gay marriage. There are definitely some religious groups that lend to the idea of "religion kills a thinking brain", but NOT ALL of them. Some of us do think for our selves and are not overly pious while still hating entire groups of people. We may not be nearly as vocal as the LOUD voices of religion, but we are many and hate the name that the LOUD voices give us all.

Once gay marriage becomes legal in all 50 states, we're going to have to let -anyone- marry whoever or however many humans they desire.

Don't talk stupidly.

If you're 18, you can marry any other 18 and older person you want, its none of our business.

"There's a storm gathering," one woman says as the spot opens. Says another woman: "I am afraid."

Hilarious. What's more likely? A gay person getting a gun and shooting straight people? Or one of these bigot nutbags grabbing their guns and finding themselves some gay people to hunt? And they say THEY are afraid? If I was gay, I would be very nervous about the hate these people spew.


"As evidence, Brown pointed to the fact that Catholic charities in Massachusetts stopped handling adoptions after legislation passed in the state outlawing discrimination against gays and lesbians who want to adopt."

And it's gay people's fault that these adoption agencies are fearful bigots? Sort of like saying its black peolpe's fault because a restaurant stopped offering bathroom service since black people are allowed to share the facilities with whites. Sad.

....a controversial new ad that suggests opponents of same-sex marriage are now being victimized for their beliefs.

How absurd is it that bigots don't want to be seen as such?

If the shoe fits........

OK! One last comment from me for the sake of being balanced:
There is exactly ONE point in the ad that is in some way valid.
Therefore I think gays could agree that when gay marriage is allowed, it should not be mandatory for church-bound organizations working for adoptions to perform this service for gays as well - provided there are other organizations who DO offer that service for gays.

And I agree that schools should refrain from evaluating gay marriage. This should be up to the families. However, since many of the extreme anti-gay people are on the evangelical side, I would like to make a deal: you stop demanding the Genesis being taught in biology lessons and no one will bother your children with pro-gay-marriage talk at school.

That a deal?

That money could have been better spent if it was used to feed the poor.

Talk about money being wasted? This 1.5 million is a drop in the bucket compared to what the ****-sexual Mafia has spent placing ads, buying off politicians and judges. A DROP IN THE BUCKET!

we have the right to demand that our children not be taught that same sex marriage is good.

These are the same people who demanded that people be taught that "blacks are lazy and shifty and not capable of thinking for themselves". These "Christians" are the same people who demanded that Chinese be treated as indentured slaves who "were inscrutable and evil".

y\Yes, bigotry has always been wrapped in words that sound high-minded, but amount to NO MORE than BIGOTRY, HATE, and IGNORANCE.

Crawl back into your caves (fundie churches or whatever), because the dark ages are OVER and you have to live in a world where your FEAR of "different" people cannot be used to crush their LIBERTIES.

You live your lives like you want. Hide in your backwoods and pretend that your God hates people who are different if it makes YOU feel better about the weakenss in your soul that exposes your hate and bgotry.
