yes, you're right, I am a man of color. Same as yours. However, my statement I made was from the town's side of view, not necessarily my own. And this situation is far different from racial ones. When towns tried to keep blacks and other minorities out, that was purely racial. This is different, They don't want gays in their town. Totally different circumstance. probably what we're dealing with here is a town with religious beliefs or principles they don't want violated. Simply put, they don't want gays in their town and will stop at nothing to make it a reality. Kis, I know some towns could even try to bring Jim Crow laws back, but I believe that we've come a long way from those days. We have a long way to go sure, before being equal, but we're making strides. I don't like gay people either, because to me that is wrong, (religious beliefs aside) but this wave of homosexuality is running rampant, and something has to be done. I hope this clears it up, if not, oh well, such is life😀

NT,

These are the same types of people who use the Bible to justify their garbage. The bible was used to say we were the cursed children of Ham, which isn't true (the cursed part, anyway)and to justify slavery. The bible gets used a lot of times in order to justify cruel and unjust behavior on others in the name of god. But that's another thread.

I don't believe in homosexuality, but it does exist. It is not right for anyone to be discriminated against. I can say this as a woman, an African-American woman, and an overweight woman. I have three perspectives to view from and what I see in that view is very ugly.

Once again, you cannot legislate the behavior of others. Having people jailed because of their sexual orientation is very similar to being jailed because of race or religion at that matter. I guess this is the topic where we just simply agree to disagree.
