Your point is completely invalid. You are saying that comparing exclusion of one type of person to another is not any more relevant than comparing animals, martians and inanimate objects. I would argue that comparing one type of person with another is VERY relevant and comparing people to animals/martians/inanimate objects is NOT. Your argument is invalid. Mine is. You are a hothead that resorts to calling people trolls when your arguments fall flat...

Now, in other news, the boy scouts don't allow female people or homosexual people in their club. It's either fair or unfair depending on how you look at it.

so you are comparing cars, llamas, martians, and pets to girls. classy.

I think that's very relevant to the topic. If you are allowed to "discriminate" against gender, why is it a big deal to "discriminate" against orientation? Aren't they similar situations? I'm not saying one is right or one is wrong, I'm just wondering what the difference is?

So, I work with a guy and I don't know if he's dating someone or if he's even straight or gay. We talk and we talk about all kinds of things but I don't know what his sexual orientation or whether he's in a relationship. Does that make him a liar?

BTW, how do you feel about girls in the boy scouts?

Dan Savage hates bullying and thinks it's terrible to make fun of people. Unless you are a Christian, Republican, deaf or blind.

so it's lying to keep your sexual preference to yourself? I didn't realize that that was lying.

when I was two years old, my dad was sure I was inside with my mom. My mom was sure I was outside with my dad. I was down the road several blocks following a kid on a bike. Anyone with a toddler knows that they get around. Anyone that has teenagers around knows that your kid gets passed around a lot of times out of your sight. Anyone with any sense knows that no matter how hard you try, it's never enough. Anytime a child passes I read these comment boards and they are full of blame. Sometimes we can't blame anything. We just have to mourn with the people that are mourning. I'm sure they already have enough blame on their backs.

We can either be helicopter parents or we can take the risks that will teach our children to be productive members of society. Part of that is trusting the community around us. That's a huge risk and sometimes it goes horribly wrong. We'll be praying for the family as they struggle to heal from this loss.

and a wide receiver.

Jesus came to fulfill the law, not abolish the law. The law was there to try (unsuccessfully, I might add) to bring people to holiness through their works. Jesus came to place the final piece of the puzzle in. He basically said all of these things could make you holy if you COULD do all of them but instead you just have to come to him. He was the final sacrifice. Doing things doesn't make you holy...however, holiness that comes from the transformation through Jesus inspires us to move in a certain way. It's certainly not going to be something that is understood through an internet debate but the Old Testament is just a part of the whole picture. It points to Jesus and the reconciliation HE brings...

Then I guess Dan Savage's comments should be regarded as harassment, which is bullying. So we agree, Dan Savage is bullying people. He's taking the microphone to bully people that have a different viewpoint than him...and teenagers none the less. It's an outrage. Telling a student that their beliefs and their lifestyle and who they believe they are is BS and then regarding them as cowards because they won't just sit and take it from a stage when you are there to talk about bullying is about as hypocritical as you can get...it's also confusing, minimizing and flat out ruining the subject at hand.

I may not agree with a homosexual lifestyle but I know that the struggle is very real. I know that bullying is an epidemic and becoming worse and harder to stop...whether it's being called homo, slut, fatty or whatever. Dan Savage's words have pushed us backwards in the fight to bring love into the discussion. His persistence in bringing his anti-Christian agenda to the forefront is going to do more to destroy his voice (and frankly anyone's voice) than anything else the "Christian anti-gay movement", or whatever you want to call it, has done. His verbal abuse on MINORS that were there to learn about JOURNALISM exposes the hypocrisy of what's happening.

As I've said before, bullying isn't a homosexual thing, it's an everyone thing.
