The Gay Movement

What is the gender revolution? In this country, people are feeling confined by labeling their gender and want this concept removed from society.

What is the function of gender? Gender basically encampsulates a basic idea of what your genitalia look like, and how they function, and what role you play in reproduction. There shouldn't be any presumptitive ideas about what that means about your personality or sense of style. Likewise, there is a basic assumption that comes along with it, the presumption that you show romantic and sexual interests in the opposite gender. This presumption may be false, but we will start with it until the person in question corrects us.

In today's day and age, it should be noted that the notion that straight and homosexual are equal has not yet been widely accepted. This is a tricky situation. According to the established religious doctrine of some, homosexuality is a sin. This situation requires understanding and compassion from people on the left to try not to demonize the bible thumpers whose belief system is based on this religious doctrine.

And then we get the "Leviticus Also Says..." movement. This is a movement founded on ignorance, because if you know the bible, homosexuality is demonized in the New Testament as well. There is no reason to take Leviticus seriously. Why are we reading this book again? Is there a reason Leviticus is still in the bible? The "Leviticus Also Says.." movement is a movement founded on ignorance and intolerance, based on the Too Long/Didn't Read Doctrine.

What is it that the far right conservative movement believes? Well, it says in the Good Book that homosexuality happens when people are engulfed in a sin for whatever reason. In other words, it is an outer expression of an internal conflict with the devil. Therefore, the people that embrace this lifestyle as equal, are as bad as the people who practice homosexuality!

How do we resolve this disagreement? First and foremost, is the notion that when in doubt, mind your own business.

But then the far left comes at you using their lecherous tactics. You misspoke while stating your opinion, and as a result your name officially became synonomous with the frothy feces mixture that is a result of their repulsive sex act! And you say to yourself, Lord, please help them. I am trying my hardest to explain to them my opinion and be reasonable, and I wasn't aware that a simple comparison (or differentiation) between beastiality and their sex act would make me the target of a digital crap smearing. How long before we are all engulfed in this proverbial fecal matter?

And this is when we need to back off, and let the other side be. What is the gay movement asking for again? Well, first off, they want to feel safe. Fair enough. They don't want to feel like they are being judged so harshly for being themselves. Well, that's tough. In this Damned if you do, Damned if you don't world, you are inevitably a sinner no matter what you do!

And as the bible states every once in awhile, it's God who will do the judging. It's a sin to judge other people, and it also says somewhere in their book, if they judge you for your gay lifestyle/orientation/status/whatever they are also out of favor with God.

What else does the gay movement want? Well, they want to be able to marry the person they fall in love with and enjoy the same rights as straight couples. Probably none of your business, bible thumpers.

And in due time, they would also like to be able to adopt and raise children. Well, in this day and age, there is some sort of universal human right element to the practice of child rearing, unless you make a show of proving to the world that you are incapable of it.

And when it comes down it, we know that the United States of America is not a theocracy and there is no established Fundamentist Christian religion. After all, most of us have actually had regular encounters with homosexuals! In fact, most of us have close friends who are homosexual, and using our best judgment, a lot of us don't agree with the idea that there is something abhorrent about these people. In fact, some of us would even agree with the statement that some of the kindest, sweetest, strongest people we know identify as homosexual!

So what gives, says the rest of us? Have you never met any gay people in your life? Do you honestly not know any gay people who you respect and admire?

When it comes down to it, we look at these statements of the bible and our brow furrows a bit. After all, it says in your religion that the bible is the inerrant word of God.

Does your Bible still contain Leviticus?
