Every time one of his kind speaks, I always feel my mind needs a good airing. He makes my skin crawl. His mind must be a catch all for obscenities of all kinds. Hurry, hurry folks get your first look at the mind of a born again dump heap. Right this way. You don’t need a ticket, just open your eyes and ears and listen.

Sorry, I guess I didn’t get the memo that all entries had to have your prior approval.

This is about Robertson intimidating, with hate and lies, on a minority that he does not want to see approved in our society. He isn’t saying his “peace”; he’s attacking. He isn’t giving a “simple perspective” to a simple disagreement. Robertson is prophesying the future of which he knows nothing. He is making statements that have been proven untrue because the facts bare the truth that most of the “issues” he states are committed by heterosexuals, not homosexuals. There is no simple perspective or disagreement in his mind; he’s judge others on behavior using false statements and condemns the entire society to a future he can’t predict.

Yeah, he should go in “time out” until he can act like a human being, discontinuing his “bad behavior” of telling lies and bullying minorities.

He was the kindest, gentlest, most loving person I have ever known. All who knew him loved and respected him for who and what he was. As for me, my life is a thing of greater beauty and purpose simply because he was a part of it. In all our years together I was truly able to say every day, “I love him more today than I did yesterday.”

He was one of that rapidly diminishing group of veterans of World War II. He served in the U.S. Navy for four years. Fortunately, he never had to kill anyone. He was a great lover of all life. And, oh, how he loved animals and generously supported those organizations whose purpose was their protection!

He supported the community in many ways both culturally and socially. He supported organizations that were developed to advocate for the disenfranchised, the minority, and the poor. He never was in trouble with the law and never shunned his responsibility as a tax-paying citizen nor did he ever shirk any other responsibility expected of the citizens of our country.

A truly model citizen you might say? Indeed! Yet, many who never met him nor ever came in contact with him – mostly people who identified as Christian — demanded that he be both condemned socially and be denied equality of citizenship. Some even clamored for his death! Why? It was simply because he was gay.

He was not raised in a home where he was exposed to any religion. But I will tell you one thing: I saw in him a person much more like Jesus than many, many of those who sought to condemn him in the name of Jesus.

We were life partners for decades and there is a great void in my life because he is gone. Although known as a loving person, I never knew I could either love or be loved as deeply and completely as I experienced with him. As we prepared for his death, we talked about many things. One that broke his heart more than any other was the “Christian” attitude toward us. He never hurt one of them — ever! So he could not understand why those “godly” people so despised us and demanded that we be relegated to no better than second-class status in the country of our births. He never could grasp how our being married would have harmed another’s marriage in the slightest, especially since many of those who condemned us experienced three or more spouses during the time we were a loving, monogamous couple. And so we were separated without our loving relationship ever having been recognized legally as a family.

A democracy is defined as the “practice or principles of social equality.” That he, who loved, was loyal to and served his country — allegedly a democracy — was not granted equality during his lifetime, is an indictment against that claim. I will never forgive my country for that!

Shame on you, America! More than that; shame on you Pat Robertson.

I say: give them marriage. They can have it. No religious ritual should carry legal weight with the state, though. Marriage should begin and end inside the Church. For the rest of us, let’s put all those legal benefits of marriage in a place where they belong: with the family. You can bring anyone you want into your family, man woman, child adoptions. It’s not about who gets to screw who anyway. Last I heard, it wasn’t illegal to have sex with a different partner every night or with men AND women at the same time (oaky.. maybe in some states), so who really gives a sh*t? I mean besides the RR?
