		<description>Brodie, I do not expect you to understand, neither to receive my comment, based on the fact that I know the diference between the nature of the human mind and the mind which has been recreated by the regeneration of God&#039;s Holy Spirit.  In other words I understand that the human mind is unable to accept the Truth, which comes from the revelation of God&#039;s Holy Spirit.  Human wisdom and philosophy will pass away, but God&#039;s Truth is genuine and stands forevermore.    

I live on the planet Earth and I am aware of the situations of 2010 and way before that, but with a much different perspective than yours.  In  other words I exist with the mind of the Spirit, with eyes, ears, and thoughts that reveals the difference between what you have chosen to term &quot;reality and fairytale&quot;

Thank you for siding me as a Christian and not putting me in Religion, as I have been reading throughout the various comments.   As a Christian, I am in a relationship with God, by faith in Jesus Christ, who teaches me to live with  Light, that shows me the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  This Principle is founded on Love.     

As I said before, Love is the State of Life--without the various conditions of human moods, desires, or affection, such as the affection or desire between two men or two women, beter known as homosexuality and lesbianism.

Whether you want to agree with me or not, I know that Jesus came to this world to assure us that we can be freed from the corruption, pain, sickness, confussion, doubts, and all the strange moods that our human senses transports to our mind for process and reproduction.   In other words, Jesus came to this world to assure us that He is our first and perfect Healer of our human condition-- to reverse our perishing state of flesh and blood, controlled by our human mind.   

Homosexuality and lesbianism  is a process of the human mind, prompting the person to perceive sexual affection or desire towards the same sex.   It is an experience of the lust of the flesh. Again I say, it is no difference from the sexual desires between man and woman.   And we all need to be healed from our fleshly condition, or else our existence is simply doomed to pass away.

The controversy of same sex marriage will not go away, until the time God has set to settle this dispute, because it is not a normal issue to the majority of society or the community.  No matter how simple, the majority of people believe and in God, and a large number of those people have a true understanding of God&#039;s Will and His Ways.   Satan is working to keep us ignorant of Life, God is working to teach us Spiritual wisdom and understanding of Love--the Light of men, in Jesus Christ.    You decide which side you are on;  the reward is yours alone, to enjoy.</description>

		<description>To reply to Elizabeth:   
Lady, what planet are you from, really??  Why don&#039;t you try stepping into the year 2010 and get a grip on reality.  First of all...god has not ONE thing to say about homosexuality....nor does Jesus for that matter.  Seriously...go back and read every page, cause it&#039;s not in there!!!  All of you &quot;cafeteria christians&quot; need a slap in the face in the hopes you will wake up to the reality that not everyone believes in that book of fairytails you call the bible.</description>

		<description>The Holy Bible is God&#039;s Words, and God says that homosexuality is a sin.  In the beginning God said that it is not right for man to be alone, and from man&#039;s ribs He formed a woman to keep company with the man.  

     There are male and female in all types of natural existence.  Just as two males plants cannot reproduce, is the same way for two male or two female human beings.  

     I believe that what we have failed to acknowledge is that, as human beings, we are all of a sinful nature in our gradual state of perish.  We can only reverse this mode if we will allow ourselves to die to the flesh, that we might enter the mode of Life--eternal transformation to live in Spirit and in Truth.  And by the way, Love belongs to Spirit and Truth, for Love is Life in us when our soul is awakened by the quickening of God&#039;s Holy Spirit through faith.

     The man who is homosexual is no different or worse than the man who is straight, but still exist under the sole control of his human mind;  for they are both under the control of their sinful self.   And that is what homosexuality is, a sinful appetite that is bound in the human mind.  Know that the mind is the processing site for both Spirit and flesh.  The mind conceives, nutures, and reproduces whatever it receives.   Homosexual exist with a carnal mind, just as anyone of us who has not experienced the New Birth, to enter the stage of mind renewal by the power of God&#039;s Holy Spirit. 

     God said through the prophet Jerimiah, I will make a new agreement with My people.   I will write my Words on their heart and I will put them in their mind.   Jesus died that those of who believe might receive this agreement.  It  is and agreement of Life, and Life is of Spirit and Truth, for God of Spirit and Truth.

     Hence, our existence of flesh and blood is nothingness which is passing away, unless we learn to surrender to God, that He might renew our minds to accept the things of the Spirit.   We must strive, not to be conformed by the things of the world, but be transformed by the renewing of our minds.   Let us therefore, walk in the Spirit and we will not fulfill the lost of the flesh.</description>

		<description>As a physician, I can tell you there is nothing farther from the truth than to say homosexuality is a mental illness.  If you really appreciate science and facts so much, you should research this for yourself.

As a person, I totally respect your personal views on any subject, gay marriage included, but do not walk around spreading lies that only promote hatred and fear towards people that have already suffered enough.  The WORST injustice in the World has come about because of poeple like you.  DO NOT FORGET that only 40 years ago, interracial marriage was banned for the same reasons you claim homosexual marriages should be: because &quot;blacks are an inferior race&quot;, they claimed.  &quot;What is next? Marry a goat?&quot; They said.  Now, please, tell me: where they right?

Thanks

		<description>I think that the best solution to this situation is for gays in the gays in the caribbean to start demanding their right as human beings and stop being discriminated against by these so called moral teachers. It is a matter of basic human rights that any man or woman deserves. I am therefore calling on the Gays and Lesbians in the caribbean to start demending their rights and stop settling for third class treatments.</description>

		<description>West indians are just backward sometimes.... too busy in other people&#039;s business.  Live and let live.  No one cares for your prejudices.  The law is for ALL, so you can sit in your hatred of what goes on in other people&#039;s lives and use the Bible to preach Leviticus yet many of the things in that same book are being committed by hetereosexual peoples.  Heterosexuals don&#039;t respect marriage.... look at the world.  Nature makes some people hetero, others gay, others bi.  Just deal with it.  One could be brought up in the strictest of ways and feel like they are being FAKE.  You force people into misery to suit your tastes... when you aren&#039;t even LIVING that other person&#039;s life.  Leave religion out of politics.  Make all marriages CIVIL UNIONS and allow people to take religion in their own church, outside of the policy-making arena.</description>

		<description>I am SO glad that you said that homosexuality is not a mental illness.  However, it appears that you have not been around many gay men if your opinion is that gay men are &quot;so feminine.&quot;  Most gay men are masculine, very masculine, and many of them are married and live a &quot;straight&quot; lifestyle because society makes them feel that they cannot be themselves.  If you only knew how many men and women are actually gay but are pretending not to be so they &quot;fit in,&quot; you would be surprised.

I don&#039;t know, also, how you would explain people that are homosexual BEFORE they lose a sexual partner?  What you are saying is that people &quot;become&quot; gay as opposed to just &quot;being&quot; gay.  

To those that are opposed to gay marriage initiatives, to 2 men or 2 women being together or anything relating to these matters, I would ask:

Wouldn&#039;t this world be much better off without all of this discrimination, hatred and judgment?  Where is it getting us?  Where has it EVER gotten us?  Can&#039;t we just live our own lives without being affected by what people do in the privacy of their own homes?</description>

		<description>How embarrassing for you to be ashamed that your home country is coming to terms with the idea that all are created equal and should have equal rights.  You are correct in that you do not have to agree with the gay lifestyle but you do not (nor does anyone) have the right to deny others their right to life, liberty and happiness.  I do believe the issue lies within the whole concept of &quot;god fearing&quot; perhaps &quot;god loving&quot; would allow people the opportunity to open their hearts.</description>
