Suffer the Children...

The demonization of gay parents in this country is out of all proportion to who regularly endangers and harms children; Christian fanatics.
* Last week in Plano Texas, A mom and dad showed up at their church telling the priest that God wanted them to sacrifice some of their children. They're getting closer to God in jail this week.
* Two days ago a woman down here cut off her baby's arms. The baby died, but mom has a great excuse: She quoted Bible scripture and told her hubby she wanted to "give her children to God."
Ever heard of a gay parent slicing their kid up because the big gay leader telepathically ordered them to? Can you imagine the rain of political horseshit that would follow just one gay parent hurting or killing their child like this?

No public outrage or reactionary legislation for Christians though.

"Ever heard of a gay parent slicing their kid up because the big gay leader telepathically ordered them to?"

No, but I have heard of a gay single guy bludgeoning boys, killing them, having sex with the corpse, then cutting them up and eating the remains: Jeffery Dahmer. Maybe marriage and a couple of kids would have mellowed him out.

pegboy, each of these are isolated incidents - it's one thing to say that "christians" should ease up on gay parents, but to try to draw a parallel to the lack of public uproar over these gruesome acts when there is so much animosity towards gays is a push.

the parents you mention are freaks, whose problems extend way beyond their "faith." Dahmer, well, I won't touch that one with a twenty foot battle lance.

I'm willing to bet that the more normal church-going types are all praying for those kids in churches across the country, and it's being mentioned as one of the "let us pray for..." invocations.

The larger problem that you mention extends way beyond gay parents - I was amazed to hear the stats for hate crimes against minorities this week. We take for granted that minorities - belonging to racial or sexual minority groups - still face discrimination each day in this country.

I was even more surprised to watch the Larry Elders show last night, where he interviewed a few black women who mistrusted whites so much that it sounded like pure racism...

sadly, this country has a long way to go - so don't hold your breath while waiting for ANY group to gain acceptance. Good thing we have such a uniter in charge, eh?
