Congrats California!!

A great start in the US today, both proposition 8 and DOMA are practically dead, re-instating Equal marriage in California!

A great stepping stone to full Equal marriage in the US :D

This man is also MY president. I would register to become a voter if we had a candidate like him --- all that he stands for and believes in. I would do it in a heartbeat. Until then, I remain an unregistered voter. It's a principle thing.

The Church’s response to the homosexual agenda, Pt 1

Louis Wade speaks at churches’ rally in front of the Belize City Courthouse

TEACHING: presented for the Belize Association of Evangelical Churches. Our response to the homosexual agenda can be summarized by the following points.

FOLLIES AID LIES

Former homosexuals have gotten free of unwanted sexual desires.

One-way street—is what the rectum is. Don’t go against your body’s design.

Loving someone does not include harming them.

Laws are always meant to discriminate against harmful behavior.

Insurance costs for health will increase as disease increases.

Employment of homosexuals may be forced on churches & businesses.

School indoctrination of children into the homosexual agenda.

  Adoption by homosexual couples deprives kids of a mom or dad.

Immune system—natural marriage protects us from disease and social costs.

Degrades the importance of marriage, and makes it seem just about coupling.

Life-span of practicing homosexuals is shortened by up to 20 years.

Infringement on freedom of speech against the homosexual agenda.

Every desire should not be acted on—that would justify stealing, violence, etc.

Statistics show that children do much better with a mom and dad.

Part Two of The Church’s Response to the Homosexual Agenda will be on biblical and constitutional grounds.

Here is the opening statement of the constitution of Belize is: “WHEREAS the People of Belize—

(a)    affirm that the Nation of Belize shall be founded upon principles which acknowledge the supremacy of God, faith in human rights and fundamental freedoms, the position of the family… and the equal and inalienable rights with which all members of the human family are endowed by their Creator”

Proposition Eight

The closed mindedness of people today makes me sick. With all the things that have been going on lately with proposition 8 makes me ashamed of being part of this horrid race of humans. I don't want to be associated with people who believe that it is okay that we withhold certain rights from certian people... in this case, people who just so happen to be the same sex and want to get married. Like seriously? They call this place "land of the free"... "everyone has their freedoms" and "everything here is great"...fucking bull shit. It makes me absolutely sick. How would the way they want to live their lives change the way you are going to live yours? Exactly it wont! Why don't we just start imprisoning afriacans while we're at it... Bc ya know that won't be that big of a deal at all. I'm not a very religious person but I pray to god that later generations won't have to deal with such prejudice and ignorance of people like we all deal with today. Well, what ever the national and state governments rule.. I hope it has some sort of positive outcome. Other than that... Fuck politics, I hate people.

Why hasn't Gay Marriage been legalized yet!?

Today Proposition 8 (A Piece of Legislation in California that defines marriage between ONLY a man and a woman is valid or recognized) still exists and I personally find this to be atrocious!  Today the supreme court will look into whether Proposition 8 is constitutional. To me it's very clear that Prop 8 needs to go and this ban on gay marriage needs to end.

For those who are against gay marriage or unsure whether it should be legalized, consider these top 10 reasons why it should be banned and this type of illogical thinking is put into perspective.

1) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester and air conditioning.

2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all like many of the principles on which this great country was founded; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of marriages like Tom and Katie would be destroyed.

6) The only valid marriages are those which produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

9) Children can never succeed without both a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy or longer life spans.

After seeing this list it's put into perspective that it's wrong and very anti equal rights to ban gay marriage.

For my readers, sorry I haven't blogged in several months! School at KU has been very busy with the Geography major/business minor this past semester. But all in all wear red today and support Gay Marriage and Equality for all Americans!

Thank you!
