    Can a person be fired from their job just for being gay?

    I live in Oklahoma so yes. It happens quite often, actually. Being overtly flamboyant here or trans means you can only work in certain areas. I am biased, being gay, so I can't offer a good perspective here. My response is obviously that I don't think I should have to hide being gay at work.

    North Carolina Magistrate refuses to marry interracial couple.

    I am gay so obviously I would fight back against any force seeking my extermination.

    The bible and gays

    Interesting perspective. I see God more as a father who hides at the center of an enormous maze in the dead of winter, forcing his kids to find him and only accepting the ones who make it through the maze, leaving the rest to freeze to death in the darkness. With forty thousand different brands...

    How liberal or conservative are you relative to the U.S. voting population?

    For me it took a life shattering revelation that came with falling in love with a girly guy but your experience is so similar to mine it is scary. All the way down to blaming welfare people for being lazy and avidly reading books by right wing pundits.

    How liberal or conservative are you relative to the U.S. voting population?

    My journey has been an odd one. I once was an avid and staunch conservative like my family and a full blow Right Wing Authoritarian Follower. Then I fell in love with another guy, was forced to question all of my beliefs, and over the course of two years I drew new conclusions based on what I...

    North Carolina Magistrate refuses to marry interracial couple.

    Having grown up in Oklahoma, small town (Thank God for the Internet), I can tell you that the Ku Klux Klan is alive and well, though quiet and fringe. A woman I went to school with got booted out of her church for marrying a black man (she is white and a Southern Baptist at a small church). Now...

    The bible and gays

    Thanks for the concern. If God is jealous for His people then that means there must be something as powerful or nearly as powerful as God capable of threatening him. Is sin and darkness a greater force than God? Jealousy is still a lower emotion because it is still based in a negative mental...

    Howdy

    Thanks for the welcome, all. Hard to explain. I feel that there is an afterlife due to a near death experience but because of my issues with my birth faith I grew an eventual hatred of God, a certainty of my own damnation. For most that seems to be good enough to motivate repentance. For me it...

    What could Gay Pride teach Muslims about Extremism?

    I kind of see where you are going but I think Muslim visibility is more what would help. It will happen, slowly, but we (or the Media, rather) is still stuck in the false dichotomy of the Terrorist versus the Magical Muslim (to borrow the Magical Negro phrase and re-purpose it). Media shows...

    The bible and gays

    Research has linked several traits to greater jealousy: low self-esteem, neuroticism, insecurity and possessiveness, unhealthy dependence on a partner, feelings of being inadequate as it relates to being in a relationship, and suffering from an anxious attachment style (an orientation toward...

    I am new and forgot to post here first. Whoops. In any case, hello.

    The bible and gays

    On a slightly related note, I am a gay man and have done this very thing. My family has almost fully rejected me and I still walked away from them and my old faith for love of my LGBT brethren and an unwillingness to tolerate the lies and evil dished out against them by my old church family...
