I’d like to apologize for the people that stray from the true meaning of christianity. I know most of them are ignorant or cruel but some have truly just forgotten God’s message and have made it into whatever fits them at the time. Maybe one day they’ll remember what christianity is supposed to be.

How can:

Because people used the Bible to justify the housewife position, women only existed to serve their husbands and procreate. They could not do ‘a man’s job’. Perhaps that is why our country was founded on the principle of women not being allowed to vote for their own president, they didn’t have as much going on up in their heads as men. Then the Bible was used to defend slavery. There are extensive topics regarding the subject, all pointing to the absolute obedience of a slave to his master. White supremacy ruled over our nation and churches did nothing to stop the vast injustice.

happen to people that are truly godly. Well first of all they’re not truly godly and it’s kind of like what happened to David when he slept with another man’s wife. He forgot about God for a moment and everything fell apart

I thank you for not being predjudiced against christians as i hear a lot about how terrible of a thing christianity is now a days. Maybe the world that God imagined will happen someday.

That’ll be when everyone loves their neighbor as their self. Its not the golden rule for nothing XD

Mayor and Public Library Commission
Going on the Homo-Hating Warpath?

by James Nimmo

(OKLAHOMA CITY) The anti-gay forces of the Oklahoma GOPer Party and their religious fundie faction are making plans to further suppress the civil rights of Oklahoma’s gay and lesbian taxpayers.

Having knocked out our marriage options with State Question 711 in 2004, that outlaws same gender marriage as well as straight common law marriages, next on their revenge agenda is taking over the Oklahoma County Metro Public Library System (www.metrolibrary.org) by packing the 28-member board (http://tinyurl.com/5ozooo) with religious extremists who, caring nothing for the Constitution, believe that their private religious practices should be followed in selecting and maintaining the public library system’s collection of books.

This is not the first time Oklahoma County library services have been targeted as easy pickings for the politically challenged. Remember the Tin Drum video seizure (http://tinyurl.com/6ges4j) and Rep Sally Kern’s first foray into the public light of day (http://tinyurl.com/675xs9)?

An Oklahoma City-based gay/lesbian news website (www.Gossip-boy.com) has made public that Mayor Mick Cornett of Oklahoma City is planning to pack the public library Commission of Oklahoma County with more of his favorite fundie friends in order to prove to ultra conservative Oklahoma voters and out-of-state contributors that the Ten Commandments is his Constitution, and not the one on display in the National Archives, when he announces his run for governor of Oklahoma in the near future.

The civil rights of gay and lesbian taxpayers as well as the tax money of all the County’s citizens must be subverted to further the political shenanigans of a repressive, regressive snake-oil salesman.

Let me suggest that the word “public” has a different meaning to religious fundies than it does to you and me. As we’ve seen in the eight years of the Bush Administration, words are given a facade of meaning which disguises the true purpose the words will effect. Words for them are wolves in sheep’s clothing, a shell game of meaning.

The article at (http://tinyurl.com/6dcsaz) on the Gossip Boy website has just been posted and reveals much that I’ve suspected was going on behind the cloak of righteousness that deeply deranged religious people like to wear.

Among some of the blockbuster revelations in the article are Steve Kern’s remarks, husband of infamous YouTube Queen and gun slinger Rep.Sally Kern (http://tinyurl.com/yr63qo), that have been transcribed from a phone call wherein he uses derogatory language about gay men, thinking he’s talking to one of his brothers-in-Christ. Steve Kern says gay men should be forced by law to go to “education programs”.

As you recover from that breath-taking idea don’t even think of using the “Nazi” word; instead use a new comparison–Pol Pot of Cambodia.

Just what would the syllabus of this “education program” contain? Anatomical drawings of humans in various states of arousal used for stimulus in shock therapy and aversion demonstrations?

Would Ted Haggard be brought in for a power point presentation?

What would be the final “exam” (final solution?) to this “education program”? Doses of Viagra administered to the “students” with naked, supine, voluptuous women brought in to make sure the men have learned their “lessons”?

Who would do the “grading”? Steve Kern? Sally Kern? Would there be a grading curve? Would re-testing be allowed? Just what would be considered failure?

The Gossip Boy (www.gossip-boy.com) article is excellent and reviews the background people will need to know who have either forgotten, are new to the situation, or are just now getting involved in the issues of religiously propelled suppression of civil rights. I’ve been a 16-year observer of the Oklahoma County Library Commission and this is exactly the article I wish I could have written. Though I had no hand in its writing I will vouch for the accuracy of the background material provided.

This year the Oklahoma Legislature is dominated by a GOPer majority in both Houses for the first time in state history. There is now no parliamentary way for bills injurious to civil equality to be killed in committee by a friendly Democratic chair.

I don’t see any assistance on the horizon; it’s going to be all our fight, sink or swim.

We gays and lesbians are in for a tough ride in Oklahoma that will test the resolve of our commitment and the strength of our character to ensure our birth right as American citizens.
