My sexual orientation and my positions on gay rights
CellarDweller:
As you know, there is a huge battle about to occur in California over Prop 8 which would ban gay marriage.
Following a recent spate of television and radio ads on behalf of a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, a new poll suggests a rise in support for Proposition 8, the ballot measure that would block gay men and lesbians from marrying.
If you would like to make a donation to help protect against Prop 8, you can do so here.

Muslims certainly would vote against gay marriages in California.
Any other so-called religions?
Au revoir,
hugs!

--- End quote ---
actually, Artiste, it's the Mormons that are giving millions in donations to the fight against Prop 8, not the Muslims.
Artiste:
Muslims are too cheap to hand out money to non-muslims; since it's against their religion to do so, did you know?
But of course, Mormons and other so-called religions will hand out money against gays even if their sons or daughters are gays!
I call these so-called religions and not real ones!!
Asses are always blind?
A local politicians here now said in a school that all gay should be killed; so will muslims, mormons, etc. as so-called religions say that too?
Au revoir,
hugs!

OK, I'll be the second person to repeat this --
Individual Muslim voters might be supporting Prop 8, but the organized resistance is coming from the usual suspects that American culture demands we respect whether their actions warrant it or not: to-wit, conservative Protestants, the Mormon Church and the Roman Catholic Church. They've poured a great deal of money into the anti-equality measure, money they could have been spending feeding the hungry, "clothing the naked" (as the Gospels say) and ministering to the imprisoned, the lonely and the grief stricken.
Here's an exchange that, according to the Gospels, might take place at some point:
"I didn't let gays marry."
But people starved.....
"But I didn't let gays marry. "
But homeless people froze to death ...
"But I didn't let gays marry."
But people died in wars .......
"But I didn't let gays marry."
But people were ill and you ignored them...
But enough of Matthew 25:35-46!
(can't remember where I got this -- if any BetterMost member sees it and it's their work, please let me know and I'll add an acknowledgement)
