Second of all, there was no discrimination, just a lot of whining by Christian activists.
Discrimination is reserved for the gay community - everyone else just whines!

I think we've got your message!

Directly, nothing. I'm just saying I could see such a thing happening. Often, the left and right are more peas in a pod then they'll ever admit.

The articles quoted (so far as I saw) were about heterosexual sex. AFA seems to disapprove of any kind of enjoyable sex.

That could be. Maybe that's why they scowl so much.

I bet you will not find a website that is promoting stealing anti-gay literature from waiting rooms. You may think what you want but I have seen no evidence to back up your premise.
It was hypothetical. I COULD see something similar happening. Maybe not the exact same M.O., but certianly in the same spirit.

Porn actually spices up some marriages.

It's amazing how fragile they think marriage is, and how they encourage married people to trust each other as little as possible.

Well, I've not read much of their stuff, but I'll take your word for it. And if that's the advice they're giving, that is seriously fuckered up.

For example, if your spouse isn't willing to show you his date book, cell phone records, emails, etc., the moment you ask, you should consider it evidence that he is cheating on you. Who even asks to see that stuff? People who don't trust each other, that's who.
Hmmm... I was with a woman like that. Big part of the reason I'm not with her anymore. Oh, and btw, guess who ended up actualy cheating in that relationship? Ironic, eh?

Genesis 38:8-10



8 Then Judah said to Onan, "Lie with your brother's wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to produce offspring for your brother." 9 But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so whenever he lay with his brother's wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from producing offspring for his brother. 10 What he did was wicked in the LORD's sight; so he put him to death also.

The Message in 2007
Truth and individual freedom. Freedom of expression. Creativity, love and respect for all things. Freedom for an individual to make a choice - sexually, spiritually and socially. The right to be different and still belong. Honor in refusing to fight without judging those who did. Our right to make a difference. Our right to think independently. Our willingness to share with others.
Summer of Love 40th Anniversary - 1967 -- 2007

See ya or be square!
Live the Light, Give the Light,
Bring Heaven to Earth Every Day!


I am not a human being having a spiritual experience, I am a spiritual being having a human experience.

The ancient Greeks used to say, "You shall know a man by the friends that he keeps." Given the nature of their friends and advisers, what are we to conclude about the Republican party:
Stop the madness before us it stops!

Which they have every right to do, if that's how they chose to express themselves.

I think some gay rights activists have at times held pretty effective witch hunts and campaigns of character assasination -- not at all dis-similar to book burning parties.

"Dr. Laura" is a prime example of this, IMO. (And no, I'm no fan of Dr. Laura.)

From Wikipedia:

"In her book, The New Thought Police: Inside the Left's Assault on Free Speech and Free Minds (Prima, 2001), lesbian author Tammy Bruce discussed Dr. Laura's relationship with the gay community at length, and criticized some gay activists' treatment of Dr. Laura. Bruce said Dr. Laura has not only unfairly been accused of hate speech, but also has had her freedom of speech suppressed. Schlessinger wrote the foreward to Bruce's book."
