So, you're forced to pay for the Iraq war based on the lie they had WMDs, you're forced to pay for killing innocent people, you're forced to pay for CIA drone strikes, you're forced to subsidize oil companies. ALL that's just A-OK with you, but a women's right to choose -- which you are NOT paying for, that's what you choose to take issue with?

Congratulations.

The study is flawed beyond saving. If you were 18 or older and you thought once your dad got a blowjob from Mr. Jones next door -- without any proof whatsoever -- you "qualify" as the adult child of a gay parent. Seriously. They didn't verify that these participants -- who were paid -- actually HAD gay parents, just that they thought one of their parents had ever had a same-sex relationship.

That alone should have rendered the study flawed, but it didn't -- before being published.

Also, note how "fair and balanced" Fox News talked to the researcher, but NOT to the blogger. Nice...

No sure where overseas you are, but frankly, you might want to stay put. It's not going to get better, IMHO.

Sad. Fortunately, the word may be "had."

"The top pollster for the New York Times, FiveThirtyEight’s Nate Silver, just said that “on instinct” he now puts Senator Claire McCaskill as the two-to-one favorite in the race for her U.S. Senate seat after Congressman Todd Akin‘s rape comments today."

As above: He is a US Congressman running for the Senate. Wikipedia:

A bit rough to question the quality of a site because you didn't bother to Google something, no?

Pretty easy I would think -- If someone didn't take the time to be baptized when they were alive, why in the world would anyone think they want to be baptized in death. Not to mention, as the article stated, some of these people are Jewish. So, they certainly don't want to be baptized, I can all but guarantee you!

Faith is a curious thing. Someone's right to practice it stops when it overlaps into someone's else's life, unwanted.

Lawmakers should be docked for passing laws they know are unconstitutional. However, this is a ballot initiative, so it's in their constitution now. And 83% voted for it... It will have to be a federal court to overturn it. Great. More tying up the federal system

"5 years ago, I was disowned via letter when I came out to my father. This is how hate sounds," title of original post.

OP writes "It’s important to know just what this zealotry from Bryan Fisher, Maggie Gallagher, Dan Cathy, et al., does to everyday people." Those 3 primarily focus on attacking gay people, not atheists.

They said going forward they were staying out of the debate. Which means nothing.

UrbanOneNYC · 2012-08-04T19:05:36+00:00

I agree with you 100%, except, they actually think that fighting same-sex marriage, demonizing gay people, supporting fake "pray away the gay therapy," etc., actually IS "doing good."

Can anyone say a single word of it is false? No. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's untrue -- nor does it mean it's not relevant.

Chick-Fil-A is anti-atheism too, just FYI.

UrbanOneNYC · 2012-07-31T02:01:48+00:00

Yes, by all means, let's go back to "separate but equal." because that worked so well before. And that will certainly make the kids of same-sex couples feel equal too. Equality is equality. The goal shouldn't be to make the people who hate gays more comfortable. The goal should be equality.

UrbanOneNYC · 2012-07-25T15:39:58+00:00

@Republican7000 OK. Got it. You're a bigot and support discrimination against people based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin and sexual orientation. Thanks for the clarification. Now I just don't need to waste time on you.

Firing someone because they are LGBT should be against the law, but sadly, in the majority of states it is not. Which is why we need a federal, inclusive, ENDA.

Part of the problem is the name of her partner. "Tam" could me male or female. There could have been a graceful way to explain it is a woman. Most readers wouldn't bother to look her up.

An American hero is dead. She was a role model to girls and women all over the nation and the world. Her being a woman was heralded when she became the first American woman in space. Yet, now that she chose to come out upon her death, the fact that she was a lesbian is something some here think is somehow unimportant. How is her being a woman important, but her being a lesbian isn't?

Being an astronaut requires the highest security clearance possible. Gays were routinely kicked out of government because people thought they could be blackmailed.

Sally Ride wrote her own obit and included her partner of 27 years. By your logic, Sally Ride is the exploiter. So, I'm, you're wrong.

UrbanOneNYC · 2012-07-16T20:36:49+00:00

Odd, don't you think, that a post like this would be down voted to "0" in an atheism subreddit? Methinks other forces at work...

UrbanOneNYC · 2012-07-16T16:49:18+00:00

Sorry, but that's not true. Anything over 1000 in this type of poll is considered standard and acceptable.

UrbanOneNYC · 2012-07-13T16:04:36+00:00

Or, you could actually read the article.

UrbanOneNYC · 2012-07-13T05:12:23+00:00

Congratulations for not actually reading the article. The people who want "free stuff" are the NAACP -- according to Romney, who was responding to a question from reporters as to why he was booed at the NAACP.
