About time  the black community started bitching about this...

For a long time now, we've been hearing the heterophobes bitch, moan and whine about their quest  for "civil rights" being exactly like the campaign carried out by Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, etc.

Of course, nothing could be further from the truth.  As anyone who doesn't have shit-for-brains knows, that civil-rights campaign was waged for people possessing a characteristic that they were born with, and that cannot be changed, despite Michael Jackson's best efforts.

Contrast that with the flaming whinefest carried out by the limp-wristed pansy-asses who are, by the very nature of the concept, defined by what they do.  The simple fact of the matter is that all humans are created with a natural inclination towards those of the opposite sex.  The question, therefore, is not  whether someone is either heterosexual or homosexual - the question is whether or not the heterosuxual is going to give in to perverted lusts and take up with others of his or her own gender.  That's why the question always rhetorically asked by heterophobes - "Do you think I'd choose  to be this way?" - has to be answered:  "Well, in fact - you did."

And, speaking of the clergy (you did  realize Dr. King was a minister, right?), they're finally realizing what I've been saying all along.  At least, the ones in Georgia are:

From the cradle of the civil rights movement, several dozen black pastors are voicing their opposition to the gay marriage movement and rhetoric that equates it with the struggle for racial equality.

The pastors rallied late Monday at an Atlanta-area church where they signed a declaration outlining their beliefs on marriage and religion. They are pressing for a state constitutional ban on gay marriages, which will be considered again by the Georgia House as soon as this week.

And about time, too.  My question is:  What the bloody hell took  them so long...?

Many black clergy say they are offended by the gay rights movement's claim that their struggle is the same as the effort for equal racial rights.

As they should be.  Again - all smart-assed references on my part to the One-Gloved Wonder (?) aside, skin color is not chosen, and not changeable.  This so-called "sexual orientation" is.

"This is neither a hate nor a fear issue,'' the statement said. "People are free in our nation to pursue relationships as they choose. To redefine marriage, however, to suit the preference of those choosing alternative lifestyles is wrong.''

I don't know about hate  - I've never been very fond of what homosexuals do.  The fact is that hate is not illegal.  We are commanded by God to "hate what is evil; cling to what is good" (Romans 12:9).  That doesn't mean I'm supposed to hate the person, but what he or she does is absolutely fair game.

But as far as fear  goes?  Sorry, guys, but I don't fear homosexuals in the slightest.  The very word homophobe  is an absolute misnomer - sodomites don't for a second  engender a spirit of fear in me.  Disgust, maybe.  But not fear.

Of course, you have the angst-filled limp-wrists wringing their hands forlornly:

"How do they figure that it's not a civil rights issue?'' said the Rev. Paul Turner, a gay pastor from Atlanta who helped organize last month's rally.

Simple, Paula.  We are free to discriminate against people based on their activity.  We take our murderers, rapists, robbers and throw their skanky asses in prison.  We take child molesters and...well, if the police don't get to them first, it gets ugly.  We used  to do something similar to heterophobes, too, before you limp-wrists deliberately obfuscated the issue.

"This is just a way for those conservative leadership in the black community to say, 'Look, this isn't a matter of civil rights because we're black and we didn't have a choice in being black.' And they think gays do, and that's not true,'' Turner said.

And to that I say:  Bullshit.  Show me the gene, Paula.  Take your time trying to locate it.  I'll wait. (whistles)

Same-sex marriage is already illegal in Georgia, but supporters of the ban say the constitution needs to be changed to make sure a judge does not direct Georgia to recognize gay marriages performed in other states.

Welcome to the party, guys.  A little late, but we right-thinkers are glad to have you.
