Homosexuality vs. America & Religion

HELLO WORLD. Welcome to a special edition blog #1 in light of the repeal for Proposition 8 the same sex marriage ban that had been placed upon the state of California. It was repealed on August 4, 2010 because it was deemed unconstitutional, "a violation of federal constitutional guarantees of equal protection and due process."

WELL DAMN. Glad they figured it out. Lets start with Kristin's opinion and work our way to fact.

Opinion: WHY DA HELL is everyone SO CONCERNED with what homosexual couples are doing? Whether they are allowed to get married or not these people are still going to be gay at the end of the day. Its who they are. And America, you my friend are denying a basic human right. Why can everyone else up and get married? You got dumb young couples getting married only to divorce in a couple years but you won't let someone whose had a lifelong partner tie the knot? WHO ARE YOU AMERICA?!!! No one's stopping your interracial marriage! That’s not seen favorable in too many eyes... No one's stripping you of all your rights because you had an affair on your husband or wife are they? But that’s wrong too I thought...

So now what’s the argument? That homosexuality is wrong? That’s it goes against the Bible?

PAUSE.

Since the founding of the United States of America it has been understood that there is a separation of church and state. SO again why aren't same sex couples allowed to marry? Because that’s not what "marriage is?" who came up with what marriage is again? Why must we have an ordained priest or pastor make marriages official? Because they're an oath taken in front of God correct? So did God say what "marriage is"? Logically that would conclude that marriage is a division of church...and therefore STATE shouldn't have a say in who you're allowed to marry.

Next apparently homosexuality is an abomination in the bible. Let’s see what else is. 


Unclean things Lev. 7:21

Cheating (Mic. 6:10)

A forward Man (perverse; one who turns aside (Pro. 3:32; 11:20)

A proud look (Pro. 6:16-17)

A lying tongue (Pro. 6:17; 12:22)

Homosexuality (Lev. 18:22; 20:13, Dt. 23:18)

Wearing clothes of the opposite sex (Dt. 22:5)

Bringing the hire of a harlot or sodomite into God's house (Dt 23:18)

Re-marriage of former companions (Dt. 24:1-4)

Making images/idols (Dt. 27:15)

Adultery (Ezek. 18:6-13)

Violence (Ezek. 18:6-13)

Breaking Vows (Ezek. 18:6-13)

Injustice (Ezek. 18:6-13)

Things highly esteemed by man (Lk. 16:1)

Leviticus 11:10-19 - (6) "But anything in the seas or the rivers that has not fins and scales, of the swarming creatures in the waters and of the living creatures that are in the waters, is an abomination to you. They shall remain an abomination to you; of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall have in abomination. Everything in the waters that has not fins and scales is an abomination to you."

Eating shrimp and clams..is an abomination but I see ya'll LOVE Red Lobster though. So is it alright to pick and choose which abomination you'll commit today? "Today I think I'll eat some shrimp, get in a fight, cheat on my significant other AND lie to my boss about why im late". OH but you,, you homosexuals over there you're committing and abomination and you can't get married. Think I'll strip you of your rights while I go on abominating all over the place.

Interesting Research:

Research done by both D.F Swabb and Laura Allen in 1990 Compared gay and straight brains, finding differences in the hypothalamus. Simon Levay in 1991 discovered that the hypothalamus in gay men is twice as large as a straight man's YET the same size as a straight woman's. That’s #foodforthought.

It is also speculated that something scientifically goes wrong with which pheromones men or women are attracted to resulting in homosexuality. Also Psychology states that during the psychosexual stages of development, the Oedipal/Elektra complex is flipped therefore resulting in homosexual development (i.e the male child does not "desire his mother" as he is expected to and desires instead his father")

With these explanations of homosexual and many more biological ones (Dean Hamer's studies in 1993 showed that Genes in men may predispose them to homosexuality on the X chromosome) I am left to question how many believe that homosexuals CHOOSE to be the way they are. People don't normally CHOOSE to be ridiculed, discriminated against and targeted for hate crimes and language. 

With that said we can assume that homosexuals are indeed gonna be gay, its who they are. Now...It is an abomination to cross dress (this includes women wearing pants!) hmm.. therefore its an abomination to pretend to be someone you are not. So American society forcing homosexual's to feign straightness, and remain in the closet sounds like pretending to be someone you aren’t. The injustice that is served upon homosexuals=abomination as well. 

Or how about the Love of Money? Since America is a capitalist society it is safe to assume we all love money. Everything that is done is done with intent to gain profit. America, a country all for the separation of church and state, built on abominations yet still trying to pass legislation in accordance to religion makes them the biggest hypocrite to date. 

Of course the repeal of Prop 8 is only one small step towards true equality. But all movements must start somewhere small...before they can make their long lasting impact.
