update on "i want to KILL him"

ok so apparently deleting him from my friends list did not delete my post on his bulletin and he was actually able to read it. GOOD! he sent me an email back and this is what it said: (btw, here's his link for anyone wishing to further fuel this fire: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=30651652) "I am not against you personally, I just don't want any Corporate sanctioning of it by giving money to a political organization! I am not arrogant! Yes, I do have sins in my closet, but I don't go around asking for money from businesses to support my political beliefs or behaviors that are considered inappropriate! I believe in the Spiratual institution of Marriage between a man and a woman! Anything else(common law marriage, 2 men, 2 women, a man and a donkey, man/child, etc..) is just plain wrong and hinders mankind's survival! No traditional marriage+no next generation=extinction! That's how I see it!" so... me being the super diplomatic (and somewhat plagiaristic) super ***** that i am, i lifted ted's speech to emmett in season one's "queer as folk" and tweaked it a bit to better suit my needs. this was my response: "don't ever compare me and my lifestyle in that manner again. my partner and i are not hurting anyone and we are not sinning. and since when is MY salvation any of YOUR concern? God created me in His image. at least that's what i was always taught. and since God is love and God doesn't make mistakes, then i must be exactly the way He wants me to be. and that goes for every person, every planet, every mountain, every grain of sand, every song, every tear... and every ****** we're all his, charles. He loves us all. God is love, and since God doesn't make mistakes, i must be exactly the way He wants me to be, the way He intended me to be. you are wrong charles. plain and simple. do not ever contact me again. period."

You know they are always talking about a "cure" for gay people. I wish there was a cure for their being brainwashed!!!!!!!! It infuriates me to no end. I was brought up baptist and I was even a sunday school teacher before I came out. I am still a spiritual being. My dad is still a church deacon and my mom is the treasurer. It wasn't until this surgery that really brought us all close and I got a glimpse into what is going on in their heads. What really struck me was that a friend of mine from Canada came down while I was in recovery and stayed the entire weekend with me and my parents. They went to breakfast one day while leaving me at home and they had a grand ole chat. My dad feels bad for he and I not being closer when I was younger and my mom just wishes that I could find the right GUY to be with. I was totally blown away by this. My parents accepted me for who I am, not what I do. For many years we were under the rule of "don't ask, don't tell" and we were all ok with that. However, now there's a whole new light shone on it and I have been hesitant to do this but I really wanna send them to the PFLAG website. Anyway, your "friend" just needs to take a chill pill. I can safely say that most of us have two faced friends that are all gung ho with our rights and then stab us in the back like this. It's best to be rid of them because they are no help to us.

thats Messed up on many different levels! but ya know what.. we have enough negativity in our lives.. in General.. we dont need other people's... Hell i dont even watch the News.. because it brings me down.. its hard enough to keep an optomistic outlook on life.. without crap like this.. you dont need him OR his friendship.. I think you are well within your rights to tell him to **** OFF.. you will never change his mind.. and he will never change yours.. a True friend can over look certain things.. but i dont know if this is one of them.. Huggz..

As a gay man, I'm getting Legally married in October. It just feels right, and feels like it shouldn't be any different than any other marriage, but sadly it is. I had decided long before it was legalized here that if it wasn't legalized, then I would start a campaign to get special tax breaks. I figure if I can pay the same income tax, pay taxes to put children through school, sales taxes, property taxes, etc, then I should have the right to marry. If I didn't, then I would want to be excused from all of the other things that make me an equal member of society.

First of all HI AARON!! I am a recovering baptist too!! 2nd of all Angus.. No our marriages are NOT any different. We have to believe that ourselves whether it is or isn't. If we can't stand up and believe that it isn't any different than how can we make others see that it isn't. I am also getting legally married in my wonderful state of Califronia but not till next May. And until then I will fight, scratch, and BELIEVE no on prop 8. I won't allow all the "charles's" out there to tell me different. Charles is very confused as is a lot of our country. grouping us in the same catagory as child molesters (which are statistically straight white males) or those that practice ********ity. Until we all believe we are one and the same there will be people like him out there. I've said it before... Educate, demonstrate, and VOTE!

Hello.... Old queen sticking fingers in pie.... this is old testament bull ****point click delete... and get on with you happy gay life... on gays being married...if they want too... but if I'm going to swear to god and to my government...I want something better than what is considered being married...in the straight sense of the word... Can't we make it better

Ok, I just looked at his profile and he is creepy. Your marriages are different from a "regular" marriage. It's two people of the same sex instead of two of the opposite. That's the only difference. So basically, no difference.

On a lighter note, my dad jokes that being married to my mom has been "the best three years of my life" (they've been married almost twenty-four years )

It always amazes me that people still think this way... my own family included. Back when I had my own column I got a letter from Shirley Roper-Phelps in response to a column about protesters at a Pride event. Anyway in my original column I was commenting on an incident where these protesters had children holding the hateful signs they carry around. So this cute dancer guy in boyshorts ran over to them and asked this itty bitty little girl if she thought Jesus hated him... I can't find it archived anymore, and it has been years, but I think the girl didn't say anything or whispered no... Anyway, what she did wasn't what they teach them to do at Westboro Baptist Church. Anyway the hillarious and ironic part of it was I wasn't well known before that incident. I had been writing my online column for three years and had a lesbian following of maybe 100 people. The editor was a friend and liked my work or else I would have been let go... After this my readership jumped to over 10,000. I was contected by Larry King's people to do one segment on Larry King Live that was about the Phelps (they backed out at the last minute)... anyway, they made me pretty famous and until I chose to not write the column anymore last December, My readership was pretty high and consistant since then. If your interested I have attached the link. I think of all the things I have written this is in my top five favorites. http://www.gaywired.com/article.cfm?section=13&id=3429 Just remember that Crazy comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors. It takes all kinds and don't let this 37 year old guy who does Mall Walking (according to his myspace) get under your skin. Not that I, a once 375 lbs man) am above Mall Walking... thank god for air conditioning areas to exercize... but I sure as heck wouldn't advertise it in the same paragraph I am looking for a date. And does anyone else find it a bit creepy that this guy is looking for a woman with a kid? That is a red flag if I ever saw one... or maybe I have seen too much Law and Order SVU.... Cheers Gang!
