The Secret Gay Agenda - Exposed - Yup It is all here.

The secret gay agenda - CNN.com

Grand Rapids, Michigan (CNN) -- I wonder if black people would be still in the fields picking cotton today if the 13th Amendment -- the one abolishing slavery -- was placed on the ballot back in 1865.

I wonder if Hillary Clinton would be at home baking cookies instead of serving as secretary of state if women's suffrage was put to a vote back in 1919.

In other words, I wonder just how far along we would be as a society if the oppressive majority held all of the legislative and judicial power over the oppressed minority, essentially yanking the teeth out of Congress and the Supreme Court.

I'm sure you've heard a lot about the gay agenda, but may not know what's in it. Here's what you do: Download a copy of the United States Constitution, read it. Everything the LGBT community wants is in there.
Sounds like an oversimplification?

It's not.

There's not a single issue regarding the LGBT community that has been covered in the media or deliberated in courts that is counter to the articles of the Constitution. On the other hand, the fact that in 29 states it is legal to fire someone just because they're gay flies in the face of the 14th amendment, particularly the passage that says "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States."

That may not be consistent with one's religion, and that's fine. But the Bible and the Constitution are not the same thing.

I can't think of a single major civil rights victory that came by way of a general election and so I am not surprised that all 32 states that have voted on marriage equality, voted against marriage equality.

It is human nature to resist change, especially change that may bring significant inconvenience to the vast majority of the people, those who are enjoying the spoils of the status quo. "If it's not broke, don't fix it," was never said by the community that was demanding their rights.

TED.com: Will our kids be a different species?

It was always the mantra of those who liked their slaves; who liked their women barefoot and pregnant; who felt uncomfortable working next to someone with cerebral palsy; who get squeamish at the thought of two men falling in love.

We elect members of Congress to lead us, not appease us. This is why our history has so many civil rights victories come by way of Congress or the courts and so few if any civil rights victories by election. When it gets right down to it, culturally we're like children who have to be forced to eat our vegetables.

We like the Constitution when it can be used to endorse life the way we think it ought to be and we ignore it, or vote against it when the Bill of Rights or the various amendments challenge our world view or force us to make accommodations -- however big or small -- for others.

This week election officials in the state of Washington announced that a referendum seeking to nullify the recently passed law legalizing same-sex marriage has qualified for the November ballot.

Washington joins Maryland, Maine and Minnesota as the next round of states that will put the civil rights of some of their citizens to a vote. Early polls indicate that at least one of them will indeed vote in favor of marriage equality, which is a victory for the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.

Though it's a bit of a shame that the Constitution needs such victories and that history has taught us nothing.

Good post Goober!

Like I've always said, it's not 'gay rights' it's just 'rights'. Sadly some are still too thick to see that.

Yes. All the laws apply to all the people. Sound like an over simplification? Duh.
All groups who experience discrimination of any sort expect society as a whole to make it up to them by elevating them to special status.
If the laws state you can't discriminate against gays or crippled people then it should also state you can't discriminate against 50 year old white males.
The gays should go on strike. It would make as much sense as students paying tuition then going on 'strike'.

No special status - Just the same rights as everyone else has.

Exactly. It's never been about raising any group above the rest, it's about bringing them up to be equal with everyone else.

Well people discriminate - hate- use others that are different from themselves to make them feel superior. I figured out a long time ago as to who was a better person.

First of all the idea of a democracy says the majority rules however the will
of the minority must also be respected. The problem is that in many of our
so called enlightened societies, Ignorance still reigns supreme. We have a
special interest group dominating the whole life agenda. That collective
group is the religious crowd. No, no particular religion, Christians, Muslims.
Jews and others. They bring their faith, superstitions, and narrow minds to
the collective table on a wide range of subjects.
Oh I agree there are all kinds of religious people who don't agree with the
fundamentalist conservative agenda but that agenda crosses belief lines in
a major way. Fundamentalism, regardless of label is pretty much the same.
We are right and the rest are wrong, god wins goodbye. That is the attitude.
Ever noticed, the Bible thumping fundamentalist Christians and the fundamentalist
Muslims are pretty much the same. Unmoving, unthinking, Gods compassion
has been squeezed right out of them.
After all if we thought for ourselves and changed anything we would score a point
for the Devil. Its all nonsense in my view. Do Gays have an agenda? I suppose
they want to be treated like any other taxpayers group in America. Now that just
is no right is it that everyone should be treated the same under the law. What are
they thinking?
