Chance would be a fine thing.

Why is it that no-one has a problem with rampant heterosexuality going on in the open in our culture, but as soon as a same sex couple hold hands in public, we're living in Sodom and Gemorrah?

Some are born homosexual, some acquire homosexuality and some have homosexuality thrust upon them?

Um, not join the club?

Not even the same thing. The GSA is not pushing their morality on anyone. They just want to be able to meet freely. I think the consensus on this board would be that an "I love Jesus" club at this school would be just fine.

Public school students are a pretty captive audience for having secular morality pushed on them.
Secular morality? Can I get a definition of that please?

Focus on the Family, American Family Association, Fred Phelps, etc.......

Explanation please. Does someone come in and make you watch Will & Grace? Do your tax dollars go to GLAAD? How is this forced on anyone?

Sounds like the same argument heard in Mississippi in the 50s and 60s about Civil Rights for black people. Equal rights do not mean special rights.

Do I take it to understand that you think it is wrong for Christians to force their views on others?

Sigh .

Y'know, my wife is a good Christian woman, and she almost became the *advisor* for a Gay and Straight alliance club! What, exactly, is it these fundies aren't getting?

I must say, I was extremely disgusted by the rampant heterosexuality exhibited on national television. What is this country coming to? Men and women, kissing each other? On TV, where children can see?

We definately need more rampant homosexuality - all this breeding makes me sick.

Hmmmmm....is that so? Tell me, is it your faith that is too weak to resist, or is it your God him/her self?

If you really, really have full faith and trust in your alledged deity, what are you worried about? Before too long, you'll be in heaven, all them "queers" will be in hell and all will be right with the world, eh?

Random House Dictionary says: homosexuality – sexual desire or behavior directed toward a person or persons of one’s own sex

Ergo, a schizophrenic masturbator is a homosexual, right?

Hmmmmmm....that covers pretty big group.
