There is a solution to all this blurring the lines between church and state. A whole bunch of Christian Gay and Lesbian people need to attend this church…in mass. Take up the front pews and go right up for the Eucharist. When confronted with proselytizing, just be sure to emphatically tell your proselytizer that you are already saved and believe that Jesus Christ is your personal savior and that you have been born again and talk to Jesus everyday. Keep attending and keep testifying as to your salvation and keep being Gay.

Seriously, Gay and Lesbian people are welcome to come to my church in Socorro.

As for the Gay agenda
1. Non-discrimination in employment
2. Non-discrimination in housing
3. Right to adopt and raise children
4. Right to marry
5. No more stigmatizing gender identity or orientation in the culture and creed of this nation

Well, I for one support it. If a Gay or Lesbian person is elected or is appointed to a prestigious office, it should be held up as an example to others as to the normalization of diverse people in our society. We did it for women and we did it for the races. This is the well worn path to acquire civil rights.

JusticeP:

My apologies; I was under the impression that all the regulars were aware that “EW-aif” is Ms. Wedum’s new username.

Skeptic:

If by “dispassionate” you mean “scientifically unsupportable”, then yes; However, since believing that anyone whose specialty is climatology would actually agree that it isn’t a problem itself requires a severe suspension of disbelief, having a rational conversation on those terms would be rather too much to hope for.

JusticeP:

You actually seem to have missed the whole point of Ms. Wedum’s comment; The fact that Mr. Smotherman objects to someone based on any criteria other than their qualifications for the job is exactly the problem. For that matter, could someone please explain to be how biology constitutes an “agenda” and what on Earth the “gay movement” even is?

Welcome to New Mexico…

http://www.krqe.com/dpp/news/crime/charges-dropped-against-alfred-lovato

…where time cures prosecutorial attempts, connection trumps justice, investigation means carpet sweeping, and the value of life (especially gay life) is questionable.

Every week same story, different politician.

It is now time for Legacy Church to be taxed. It is clear to me and others that Steve Smothermon crossed the line and now this group no longer deserves tax exemption.

Are hate crimes illegal in New Mexico? Are they prosecuted? Having read about Judge Murphy’s conduct I am not sure. The archives of http://www.nmpolitics.net may be accessed by those who would like to know about New Mexico’s prosecutorial deficiencies, Judge Murphy’s conduct, and other related injustices.

Great Job Heath Haussamen, perhaps you will single handedly cure some of the State’s grave ills with your fearless and truthful reporting.

And Ma Barker, what a queer comment to make.

Can a a dispassionate conversation about climate change include the position that it’s real but not a problem
and that we don’t need to -do- anything about it?

to JusticeP, a few corrections to your use of certain terms.

“Every person has the ability to choose his sexual preference.” First, the proper term is sexual orientation not preference, which implies the individual has made an informed choice to like something. A mountain of scientific evidence supports the fact that sexual orientation is not a choice.

It is not a lifestyle to be gay, a lifestyle is the car you drive, the clothes you wear, the job you have and the house you live in. All of these can be changed with a change in income, location or job. Middle class is a lifestyle being gay is my life. I can’t change it by getting a new job or moving to a new town.

Incredibly wonderful news for “sustainability” and “climate change” and the dispassionate conversations thereto, right Dr. Pitcaithley?
