Maine Bishop Fights Marriage Equality

I think Marriage Equality is bringing the LGBT population to a healthy state mind and well-being, where it belongs. I think in truth and soon more significantly by research we are going to find that the general population is more LGBT as a whole, than not. I say this from being a bartender, priest, pastor, psychologist and now an activist of the LGBTI people. My life has always been surrounded by a diversity of people. Researchers show us that components of human sexuality are on continuums. This means that nearly everyone is a mixture of LGBT components to some degree. And the harsh ignorant antiLGBTI social and religious norms just keeps us separated from one another because of what we cannot accept in our themselves. Educating people about the complexities that make up human sexuality that each person is a unique mixture of components of LGBTI, it will, for one, increase the human potential in the world by leaps and bounds, finding cures of all kinds of diseases and much more.

That's an enourmous amount of press for such a teensy weensy little mind.

Burn the church down!

Anyone that defines themself a Christian and discriminates against gays, is a lair. They are not a Christian, for Jesus Christ did not discriminate against anyone.

GOD is GAY!

Joe writes: "I'm not a tax lawyer, but as I understand it, religious organizations are not allowed to endorse particular political candidates. They can, however, advocate particular issues." UNFORTUNATELY, Joe, I think this goes far beyond just advocating for one issue or another. Churches are TAKING UP COLLECTIONS to fight marriage equality. They are using this as a FUNDRAISING TOOL. How is it possible that they are managing to retain their tax-exempt status? I certainly wouldn't be permitted to use a contribution for such a political cause as a tax write-off come April!

Same-sex marriage will not increase the number of children living without their biological mother and father. Same-sex marriage will not decrease the number of children living with their biological mother and father. There are millions of children being raised by homosexual parents in the US today. There is no law against it. These children should be granted the opportunity to benefit from the unique stabilizing effect that marriage can have on a family. The best interests of our society's children is an argument FOR same-sex marriage.

"Children need the love of a mother and a father " " and the penis of a priest in their mouth/anus /or vaginal cavities" Of course if any one gets pregnant the church will provide for an abortion as they have done with many of it's victims, or accuse the child of lying ,or paying off of hush money from tax free donations. This is the way of the Catholic Church/Cult. Why does anyone follow these depraved sexual predators?

Ah. . . and 'tis certainly a holy blessin' to see the love of God shinin' through the face of one his special envoys here on earth. It's always so nice to see one of God's own who so obviously loves what he is doin'.

...Same-sex marriage is a dangerous sociological experiment that many of us believe will have negative consequences for society as a whole,” said [Bishop] Malone in the message, according to the Bangor Daily News. “Children need the love of a mother and a father.”
 This statement is cruel and untrue. People against Marriage Equality do not base their public statements on facts either from science or the bible. It is a repeat of the time the Vatican was condemning Galileo, because they insisted that Galileo was going against the bible that it is the sun that revolves around the earth. Children need people who are honest and truthful. Children are not safe around people who publicly speak out against Marriage Equality, because in truth these people have had no formal study in human sexuality or the bible and yet they without any intellectual thought speak out and harm innocent people. This is irresponsible adult behavior, which is harmful for children to witness. This has been proven to have “negative consequences” for children, consult developmental psychology. With all due respect, it is without a question that Bishop Malone would not be able to pass graduate course exams on human sexuality, sexual orientation, and gender identity or biblical studies. Prove me wrong!!! And if Bishop Malone cannot pass these exams today, than before God he needs to publically retract what he said against Marriage Equality. If not, then Bishop Malone needs to go back to the seminary to study moral theology. The best for well-being and safety of all children would be if people against Marriage Equality spent their money to academically study human sexuality, sexual orientation, gender identity and the bible. This is what children need the truth. People speaking out on such life and death issues should not speak out of ignorance and fear, thus spreading hatred and violence that indiscriminately is severely harmful to all children. The truth will set you free - not ignorance and fear. Fr. Marty Kurylowicz http://fathermartykurylowicz.blogspot.com/2009/09/maine-bishop-fights-marriage-equality.html
