[QUOTE=MendozaMan;36206724]If mormons can do this, why can't some of the "christians" do it. Instead they revert to pages from books written by inbreds thousands of years ago as an excuse for their blatant near-racist homophobia.[/QUOTE] Yes because there's no liberal or moderate Christians at all. Or gay Christians. Nope. Urban myth.
A lot, probably even the majority of Mormons are really nice, friendly people. I know many and they're some of the coolest guys - I was on the school football team's film crew and the captain was a Mormon. I'm an atheist, one of us was gay, and the other was black, and we got along fine with him and his parents and the rest of his family too.

[QUOTE=Nick Nack;36205933]This is why religion needs to be destroyed and why we must all convert to atheism. All religion is a cesspool for hate, intolerance, and war.[/QUOTE] If there was a God, there would be no atheism. But if there was no God, there shouldn't even be atheism.

Wait, what?? But... aren't these some of the same people who illegally dumped boatloads of cash to help Prop 8 get passed here in California??? The INFAMOUS law that prevented marriage of same-sex couples? Is this just some isolated schism between the Mormons, split-off to their own sect of the religion? If not, this is a pretty dramatic change of heart.

I don't see why it's so difficult to comprehend that religious people have different viewpoints like any human being does.

[QUOTE=zakedodead;36212012]quotes[/QUOTE] I suppose you could interpret when someone says "Mormons" they usually mean the followers Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and maybe that's what he meant.
[QUOTE=znk666;36193745]Someone should tell them they're the ones against the movement because it seems they forgot.[/QUOTE] Some one should tell you how much of a fucking idiot you are and how every post you make proves it more.

itt ignorant "lolreligion" bandwagoners
well, i'm happy for this my boyfriend's asshole parents are punishing him and keep saying "the devil is trying to bring you to hell, making you gay" they're christians, and they think god hates gays. is it seriously such a problem? it's making me sad :c
[QUOTE=znk666;36193745]Someone should tell them they're the ones against the movement because it seems they forgot.[/QUOTE]Surprise: Not all religious people are idiots.
Mormons that have gay sex in or outside marriage are excommunicated and aren't even allowed to marry the same sex. [B]They are specifically trying to prevent gay sex.[/B]
[QUOTE=Bryanrocks0;36193744]Not all Mormons are batshit insane. That's like saying every Facepuncher is a lonely, fat virgin.[/QUOTE] True. I am not fat.
[QUOTE=mikerocks;36203788]I was there for this, thongs, traps, trannies, Drag queens, everything! There were some protesters as well but people just hold up signs next to them saying stuff like gay sex is best sex. Mormons are still crazy as fuck though, and living in a Mormon state sucks.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I don't understand that. If there was a heterosexual pride parade with a bunch of people dressing as sleazy as possible/humping each other and screaming about sex people would be all up in arms. Not against gays, but its still a bunch of shit that they act like that shit is okay in public.
[QUOTE=Jetblack357;36226225]Not against gays, but its still a bunch of shit that they act like that shit is okay in public.[/QUOTE] what's exactly wrong with it? it's just sexuality. I find half the shit republicans say in public much more horrible.

That kind of behavior is unacceptable.

[QUOTE=zakedodead;36228393]It's only unacceptable because we pretend it's unacceptable.[/QUOTE] Haha. No, that kind of behavior is unacceptable in any public situation. They can have all the parades they want, but they should at least keep themselves decent. When the core of the whole thing revolves around fucking each other, it really weakens any argument they present as to why they need special rights in the first place. I understand that they have attractions to each other, but relationships are not explicitly about sex. Though they seem to disregard that at the parades i've seen.
Sexuality is not inherently bad, your only argument for why this is unacceptable is: BECAUSE SEX.
[QUOTE=zakedodead;36230186]Sexuality is not inherently bad, your only argument for why this is unacceptable is: BECAUSE SEX.[/QUOTE] So if I go around screaming about how I love pussy and pretend to jack off its perfectly ok? Im not saying sex is bad, I am saying that it should be kept private.
[QUOTE=Jetblack357;36233510]So if I go around screaming about how I love pussy and pretend to jack off its perfectly ok?

Anybody saying that this makes you think better of Mormons, that's great. I'm glad. However, what you should have realized in the first place is that just like Christians, Mormons aren't a giant hive mind that acts the exact same. Living in Utah, I know this first hand. There's some great Mormons, and some really shitty ones. Just like people. While that doesn't change that their religion and religious leaders actively preach against homosexuality (horrible teachings and religious belief in my opinion), it shows that many members are able to look past what they're taught from birth and go against the norm. In my opinion, this makes them all the more admirable.
[QUOTE=zakedodead;36236106]I'm fine with it. It might make you look like a moron but go do it all you want and I wont be stopping you.[/QUOTE] A lot of other people would, and I would be inclined to agree with them. Though if that's your opinion that's fine, though strange.
Funny thing is Mormons moved west because people hated them and now a lot of them protest and hate against homosexuals.

[editline]7th June 2012[/editline] and it's not special rights, it's rights that have been granted to straight white christian males for hundreds of years.
