the United States is not a country that is run on religious grounds. PERIOD. "separation of church and state" negates ANY argument that gay marriage should be banned because the Bible says it's bad.
also, the argument that "gays are icky" is just childish and dumb, but I see it thrown around every day.
Lisa, I never disrespected you or tried to. You were the one that said things about your past. I NEVER brought up your past or anyone else's because I was NOT aiming this at anyone at all. I was simply stating my viewpoint. If you want to defriend me...that's entirely your choice and I can't stop you. Best of luck you to always.
Honestly Lisa, I expected a more mature attitude about this from you especially. You were the one preaching about being completely honest and not holding back in our personal journals and yet you're the first one to complain when someone has a different opinion than yours. I can't control people anymore than you can. Neither of us are God. God gave everyone free will and we make our own choices. I haven't got the slightest clue why you are getting so bent out of shape over this. I did NOT point out anyone at all, I simply wrote MY opinion and YOU were the one saying that everyone should be free to express themselves in their own journal. As far as people staying out of your email, you can make the mature choice to ignore it. I haven't been reading your comments to her or her comments to you because this is MY journal, NOT a babysitting club. I said quite clearly in my entry in my journal that if anyone has a comment, feel free to comment but be prepared for debates. I'm sorry you can't handle a mature discussion and debate

Lisa, I have always valued your friendship and have always been there for you if you ever needed anything. However, YOU are the one making threats and calling names and continuing the drama. You're making threats when YOU are the one that continues the drama by continuing to comment. Just stop and that will be the end of it. As for anyone else commenting...that's NOT my control. She can comment, just like YOU continue to. I can't stop her anymore than I can stop you.
OMG! Just got a good chance to sit down and read this...LOVED IT! I have to tell you that i 100% agree with everything that you wrote! I also have really good friends that are gay and guess what......It's all good! I have a friend that used to tease me and tell me one night with her and i would never go back to men...although this never was said in front of any children mine or others out of respect...only adult present. I had/have no problem with this EVER

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I figured since it's my journal, I should be allowed to share my opinions and hopefully others can be open-minded enough to share theirs as well.
I can completely understand how you feel about your son. Unfortunately, we can't keep them little kids forever. The sad truth is, they are going to learn a lot of horrible things that we don't want them to from school and friends and peer pressure. I learned this the hard way when I got a lesson in sex from my then 5 year old child during dinner one night. THe best we can do is be the best positive influence we can be and try to teach them the values we hope will lead them far in life.
Holy Shit..took sooo many words out of my mouth. Though you seem to be able to say them alot easier than. Wondering what got you up and ready to do battle? But all i know i am right beside you girl..hell your fighting for my rights and every human beings rights..can't argue with that.
I wish you could see all of the comments. My friend is piecing the whole thing back together so that you'll be able to see everything that happened and understand where all of the comments you can see came from.
