Wow. Video. Watch.
AH!!!
How can I respond to that without exploding? There is too much to say! Do I attack the misuse of religion? Sure.
God is Love. Love cannot hate. Therefore, God cannot hate gays.
That was quick. Next.
Using extremists that took that cross or ripped pages out of the Bible to promote this homophobia is just like me using people like the Christian who killed that abortionist to promote atheism. You cannot generalize like that.
***EDIT*** I found a great article written by a very religious gay man. Click here for What the Bible Says - And Doesn't Say - About Homosexuality.

I don't like Perez either.

Homosexuality is not a choice. You cannot be an "ex-homosexual". You don't choose to be heterosexual. You don't choose to be bisexual or asexual either. Whether or not there is actually a gene, I don't know. I have no clue about the science behind it. I just know it isn't a choice from experience.
And this video:
Denying someone a right others have because of the way they were born or because of something they cannot change is now unconstitutional. We went through this already with women and African Americans. That's why civil unions WON'T WORK. Equal rights but separate names? Sounds like segregation to me. (Quickly I want to say that I am merely drawing a parallel on rights that are deserved. I am not saying gays are suffering more than blacks did. I don't want to see a comment about that.)

The five-year-old kid thing is both understandable and sad. It is good to know about and be accepting of others. Young children, however, might not be ready to handle this for one reason only: their parents can't. Only once we progress as a society to the point where we can accept those for who they are can we teach children about it. Parents in this day and age are going to confuse their children merely because they are biased towards anti-gay actions. When children are presented with this material in school, parents will refute it at home, making the young child question everything taught at school because, to them, parents are the know-all be-all of information. "What else is the school teaching me wrong? Mathematics? Science?" the child might think. So, first all adults must reach this acceptance point. Until then, students can't really be taught this in school until they are at an age where they know parents can be wrong too.
Let me first point out one thing: This book doesn't seem to go into sex or anything immoral for a young child to know about. It seems to treat teaching kids about gay couples the same as teaching them how Mommy and Daddy love each other. I feel like I have to state this because we I say "homosexual couple" you might immediately think about sex, unlike when I say "straight couple" you think about the whole process from close friends to married.
The fact that the husband was sent to jail for refusing to leave seems excessive. I think the procedure there should have been to talk it out, and, if he is still stubborn, escort him off of the premises. Maybe there is more to the story?
Either way, if they disagree--home-school the kids.

If you refuse to answer a question on the Bar exam, you fail. Dumbshit. Massachusetts has legalized gay marriage. If you disagree with a law and can't remain unbiased in those cases, you are not fit to be a judge. And I think refusing to answer a question on the Bar exam constitutes as being unable to remain unbiased.

In case you haven't noticed, it is a bit hard for gay people to have kids of their own, so adoption is the only route. I was trying not to use this word, but the people who shut down an adoption sector of Catholic Charities are downright bigots for refusing to let gay people adopt children.
This is from adopting.org, a website dedicated to adoption from all directions--looking for kids, kid looking for biological parents, biological parents looking for info on kids, foster parents, etc.:
"During the court finalization hearing, the judge reviews information about the child, the biological parent(s), and the adopting parent(s). This information can include:
the homestudy and/or other evaluation of the adopting parent(s) and their suitability for the child,
..."
Adopting parents, heterosexual or homosexual, must be deemed fit parents by a court. If a couple is deemed fit, then they should be able to adopt!
This video wasn't really about the consequences of gay marriage. In fact, some "problems" (like rallies) would be ended with the nationwide legalization of gay marriage. This video was mostly just anti-gay stuff.
I can't wait until my children (adopted, bitch!) are learning about all this stuff in history class.
