huh. Seems to me that Family Values is becoming synonymous with bigotry. However, as a homosexual, I think it's a bit much to have a GAY DAY of anything... I mean please... It would be weird to have a Straight day. If anything it would be wonderful to celebrate the differences of ALL PEOPLE.

I really think this Phillie Gay Day is just a clever PR's idea to get attention. And it worked.

Also, I find it offensive that anyone would say that homosexuality is DEFINED by the gay sex act--so said in the article. An abstinent homosexual is still a homosexual. A gay man who decides he wants to try sex with a woman is STILL a GAY MAN. So much for that definition.

Very biased source. Maybe a link to the statement/news on the Phillies' site?

Remember Seperation of Church and State? Remember that there are billions of people in the world that do not agree to the alleged "fact" of "homosexuality being a sin."

Strictly scientifically speaking, it is not a "sin," nor is it a choice. As with other animals, some of us are born homosexual, some heterosexual, some bisexual, some transsexual, some hermaphrodites, etc.

Good for the Phillies' management, team, and fans.

Truncate- I'm not real clear on some of your remarks. What does the article or argument have to do with the separation of Church & State? I do agree that, scientifically speaking, homosexuality isn't a sin. That's because science neither determines nor acknowledges sin. Sin entered the world through Adam & Eve and was clarified to man via the Word of God. Apart from God's Word man knows nothing of sin and those who remain separated from God generally refuse to acknowledge the existence of sin.

Spinto- The Bible explicitly says that the homosexual act is sinful. God ordained marriage as a union between man & woman and sex is an act designed to be shared by a married couple. Any sexual intercourse outside of marriage is sinful. Therefore, by definition homosexual activity is sin. If someone annouces that they're homosexual but never engages in homosexual activity then they are not guilty of that particular sin.

Seperation of Church and State is related to this, because no religious group can tell the government to outlaw "gay days" or celebratory days/parades for homosexuals.

About the "sin" part of your response, if "sin" is not found anywhere outside of the bible, then how is this secular "gay day" supporting or ignoring "sin"? They/we do not believe in "sin" (which was created in the bible and "solved" in the bible - solving a problem earlier writers created, basically), nor do we believe homosexuality is bad.

What about hermaphrodites, transsexuals, people born with no sex organs - are they being sinful just by being born that way?

Truncate, you must realise that the refusal to acknowledge something does not obviate its existence. You might believe the concept of gravity is nonsense, but if you leap from a roof your disbelief won't alter the inevitable result.

God created this world and He's going to judge this world. Those who sin without repentance are going to suffer a fate too horrible to contemplate. Once we stand before the Throne of Judgement there'll be no "I'm sorry", "I didn't know", "Give me another chance" or "Help me please". That's why God wants you to know now. He loves you and He doesn't want you to suffer for eternity, but He gave you free will. It's your choice. I love you too and it would break my heart to think that someone I know will miss out on Heaven.

Eternity is a long time. God bless you.

We have had Parades in tons of cities for over 30 years now, so is there anything about this one in particular that bothers you?

Fine a protest, a parade doesn't matter, they are both for the same reason, you say you don't want to see us out in public like we have no right to be there, then yea, we are going to make it a point to be there everytime you turn around.

From the above site:

"Families will take their children to Tuesday's baseball game for a good time, but instead they will be confronted with a 'Gay Community Day.' What type message is this giving the children attending?" asked Diane Gramley, director of the American Family Association of Pennsylvania”

Gee they might see that gays and lesbians look and act just like everyone else and that is the LAST thing these people would want children to see.

I mean homosexuals have pretty much proven that they have a problem not "acting out" in public

It's a protest, a peaceful one, and obviously it worked, you and several others got all riled up about it.

Riled up? Sorry to disappoint you but I'm not riled up at all. I don't let such things rile me God will take care of ALL things eventually.

Christians burn crosses in peoples yards, and hang people because of their race.

See how that blanketed statement thing can get annyoing? Just because it may apply to some doesn't mean it applies to all.

Funny I haven't seen any news stories about Christians burning crosses
or hanging people..but I sure have seen a LOT of homosexual stories in the news lately.

You missed all the Stories about the KKK? How about the 4th Street Church boming in Birmingham, AL killed four little black girls.

"A bomb ripped through the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, which had been an organizing center for the Civil Rights struggle. In the rubble of the ruined church, four young girls were found dead: Cynthia Wesley, Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, and Carole Robertson, ages 11 to 14.

Officials in the police department, the FBI, and other government agencies knew this was the bloody handiwork of the Ku Klux Klan. For decades, the KKK had carried out all kinds of terror against Black people in Birmingham."

The point once again you can't judge an entire group on people based on the actions of some.
