That's so sad. Makes me wonder though..how many other families are engaged in so-called "immoral" behavior such as drinking, adultery, gambling...etc Is the school prepared to kick them out as well?
Of course not. Ignoring for the moment the fact that there's nothing wrong with marrying someone of the same gender as yourself, is the school prepared to pass judgment on whether it's okay to ask your child, "Why can't you be more like your brother?", or to inform them that your love is contingent upon good grades? Those are horrible, horrible things to do, but they're not regulable, because they're privately done.
Gender is just a little more publicly obvious. That's all.
While I completely concur with you regarding the hypocrisy and judgmental attitude of certain "Christians" like The Chosen, you DO realize that many lesbians identify as Christian, don't you?
"...if you are in our world then you must abide by our rules." I can't imagine a much less Christian attitude. Nor a more ignorant one.
There's still so many civil rights battle to fight...so much hatred in the world. It makes me weary at times. Let he is without sin cast the first stone.
I *knew* when I saw "27 comments" I didn't want to look, but I did.
Wow, you really got the fire going on this one, and all with one little link!
We talked about critical thinking in my class today, and pretty much everyone of my 18 year old students concurred that dogmatic black & white beliefs or a failure to see nuances in any situation indicate a pretty low level of critical thinking on an issues.
Aren't we fortunate the chosen is sharing his thoughts.
Two sides to every coin. Except when it's not a coin at all. It's a pink lucite twenty-sided die and no matter which number it lands on, thirty frothing orcs will fill the room intent on separating you from your gold.
We can all co-exist. If we'd all just respect each other.

This world is in such a sorry place right now, it overwhelms me. It feels almost apocolyptic. And damned sorrowful.
OH MY FREAK'N GOD!!!!!!!
WTF?
Who the hell are these sinless bastards (yeah right) to be judging others?
Absolutely a sick sign of our times. Since the Bush administration this country has gone back a CENTURY!!
Just know that I would stand beside you and fight until I was raw with blood. I believe in equal rights for EVERYONE!
Hugs.
"There's still time to change."
Yeah, good luck with that. Where do these people come from?
I wonder why I just don't stick my head in the sand and pretend I am the only person in the world. This is getting to be too much. It just hurts.
That Girl,

I vote for facetious on the chosen.
Doesn't change the initial point of sharing this article: Christianity has many faces. Which one is the real one?

According to his/her blogger profile, one of the chosen's favorite books is Price of Salt.
Um, you do know that's a lesbian novel, don't you, chosen?
Wait . . . I think I missed the part about the shoe . . .
