Re: FAMOUS COGIC Member Rallying for Gay Marraige!

I need to hear this from the President elect's mouth.

I know what I have heard him say before.

Marriage is different from "civil union", which Obama has said he is for.


Say it aint so, St. Mark! You're killin' me!!!

Re: FAMOUS COGIC Member Rallying for Gay Marraige!

This was Magic Johnson's words in his Advertisement to Calif voters:



“This is Magic Johnson calling to ask you to join me and Barack Obama in opposing Proposition 8. Prop 8 singles out one group of Californians to be treated differently - including members of our family, our friends, and our coworkers”…. “That is not what California is about. So this Tuesday, vote no on Proposition 8. It is unfair and wrong. Thanks.

Re: FAMOUS COGIC Member Rallying for Gay Marraige!

~ OBAMA'S SPEECH TO A GAY ACTIVIST GROUP~!




“I want to congratulate all of you who have shown your love for each other by getting married these last few weeks,” Obama said. “I support extending fully equal rights and benefits to same sex couples under both state and federal law. That is why I support repealing the Defense of Marriage Act and the ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’ policy, and the passage of laws to protect LGBT Americans from hate crimes and employment discrimination. And that is why I oppose the divisive and discriminatory efforts to amend the California Constitution, and similar efforts to amend the U.S. Constitution or those of other states.”

Better get use to that.

It's pretty well known amongst COGIC circles that Bishop Blake is a liberal.

KEYES: Marriage is based upon heterosexual relations because they are connected to procreation. Where procreation is impossible, marriage is irrelevant. And that is the civic explanation against homosexual marriage. It is irrelevant. And the idea that one should have legislation that is regulating private friendships for no reason is a degrading of those friendships.

OBAMA: Well, to answer the original question, I would love that child and seek to support them. I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman but I detest the bashing and vilifying of gays and lesbians. Most gays and lesbians are seeking basic recognition of their rights so they're not discriminated against in employment or renting a house, so they can see their partner in a hospital. These are rights for everybody, not just some people.

And that's why he's a liar - says one thing to get a vote but tells the gay groups another thing.

Re: FAMOUS COGIC Member Rallying for Gay Marraige!

I suspect that he will hold true to the language of "civil unions" for homosexuals, granting them legal protection and such, but not really all the same benefits that a traditional married couple would have.


However, I am willing to admit that I may be wrong in this case.
