Beats me as I've never heard of a "gay agenda" and have no idea what it is.
 
Nobody ever forced their gay agenda on me, so no, I don't think there's a gay agenda.

Other agendas, on the other hand...

ETA: the gays and their agenda never came knocking on my door to tell me about their gayness and invite me to a meeting.
 
Hi,

Yes, I think there is, but its not unlike any other organized group that is trying to portray a group a certain way. Agendas can change and they do over time. First, it seems to me that groups start out with saying "I matter", and it goes from there.

Gays (male and female) want respect and put up a fuss if they see disrespect. As other groups do. This can be called an agenda.

In the 80's that word agenda was so over used, but I haven't heard it in a while.

Thats my take on it.

This is my gay agenda. I don't see what the fuss is all about. It works just the same as any other agenda :rodent:

I think there is a gay agenda.

What it is: Gay people don't want to be discriminated against and want to be accepted by society. I don't see anything wrong with this agenda, maybe I have the statistic wrong but I think 10% of all people in all societies are gay. That is a sizeable percentage of society.

I have noticed on TV shows that there have been a lot more gay characters and themes in the last 10 years or so.

As a heterosexual, I think that the more that various types of minorities are accepted, the more inclusive a large multicultural society such as the United States will be. I do want to see everybody be able to succeed and not be held back by "minority status."

I don't think there is any "gay agenda" that exists for "recruitment" and "attacks on the traditional family."
 
Dreamer, :lol:

That's not a gay agenda.
That's a happiness agenda. :wavey:
 
I'd like an Octavia, too.
 
Sky56- well said.

The only agenda I know of is: acceptance and being treated as an equal in society.

As for an Octavia- hmmm..... :love: :read: :appl: :wavey:
 
if one thinks that standing up for equal rights and treatment under the law is an "agenda" then, yes, there is an agenda and we should all be for it.
 
I have to be honest, I never heard of a "gay agenda" until Frozen came out and everyone started losing their minds about how Elsa was actually in the closet because of the way she was born. I guess a lot of the gay community identified with her character, which is great. Of course because it was attached to a Disney film, it caused stupid controversy.

In my opinion "gay agenda" has the wrong tone. Human rights and decency isn't an "agenda." It shouldn't even be an issue in 2014.

Imagine if people knocked on your door and asked if you had accepted the gay agenda as your lord and savior :rolleyes:

I'd agree!.. the guy should also receive a diamond E-ring from his GF ... ;))
 
Nope. But I think the majority of this country is sick of the hate and divisiveness that spread by people who use their religion as their excuse for it. These two men included. The goal is equal rights, and that should be EVERYONE'S agenda. Why it's not everyone's goal is a shame, but here in 'murca everyone seems to think they're better than everyone else and that means taking from others and making sure that someone is always not their equal.
 
I think the key question is, "Do laws that give equal rights to gays violate the rights to freedom of religion when a religion teaches that homosexuality is bad?"
Can such religions be forced to abandon such teachings?
That's a slippery slope, and who's rights trump whom's?

The law permits kids to die without charging parents for murder, because they belong to religions that forbid medical procedures.

IMO these are legitimate, and very messy, legal questions.
I'm a strong defender of freedom of religion.

I know we have many religious people posting here.
I'd welcome your honest thoughts on the topic, and won't start a food fight.
 
I'm a religious person, but I've always held a feeling of neutrality about gays. I don't feel threatened by gay people and gay sex is something very far from my thoughts as I am strongly heterosexual. So in a way, 'gay-ness' is something I don't think about much. But the aspect of the issue that I have deep interest in is "Justice."

It matters to me more how people are treated, that people are treated with respect and not discriminated against. That people are not unjustly shamed, harmed, bullied, etc.

Agree with Smit and Sky about their take on a gay agenda.

Ummm forgot something in that agenda...check out PS. :cheeky:

And I agree- the agenda for all should be equal rights for everybody.
That's the only "agenda" I see.
 
Hi,


The LAW is the mechanism we use to equalize. It is a powerful step. However, we will always have the freedom to think the way we want, and to even voice how we think. Attitudes change over time, not in a year. A religion teaches many things; we haven't stopped murder or theft from teachings,( not so easy to do that) and I will liken it to US Catholics and birth control. They use it as much as any other group, but still adhere to other the tenets of the Church. People pick and choose, even with their religion.

My cleaning lady has a gay son and is also very religious. She's struggled with it. First she'd pray he'd change. Then she reached a place where she was glad he knew who he was so he wouldn't get married have children and then leave his wife and children to be with a man. Now she simply says she loves her son and accepts and likes his partner very much - she can see they are good for each other. So glad that within her framework she allowed "God is Love" to prevail.

I am lesbian who happens to be married to another woman and where we live our country recognizes same sex marriages.

Both are equal where I live. No trumping anyone around here.

The law permits kids to die without charging parents for murder, because they belong to religions that forbid medical procedures. -
Pardon me? I'm confused. Have we expanded the scope of this conversation or are we still talking about a "Gay Agenda">

Me too. I'm all for freedom of religion. I am a card carrying church-goer and got married by a Minister in a church. Our rings along with our marriage was blessed.

I know we have many religious people posting here. -
indeed we do

I'd welcome your honest thoughts on the topic, and won't start a food fight.

I wouldn't dream of being unruly or rude. I'm gay, not bad…or at least not often :naughty:
 
I dream of the day when people do not define themselves & others by what they like to do in the sack. I don't care. It's what you do outside the bedroom that counts.

This is not necessarily true - for example, receiving blood transfusions is something Jehovah's Witnesses will not allow. However, various supreme courts have ruled that in life-and-death scenarios, JW parents are not legally allowed to deny their minor child a blood transfusion. Hospitals will ask for consent, and if it is not voluntarily given, they will gather the lawyers and proceed to fight. In fact, last year in Australia, a 17-year old JW boy was denied the right to refuse HIS OWN blood transfusion on religious grounds. They said he must have it (doctors estimated his likelihood of death if not given it was 80%), and when he was 18 and a legal adult, he could then refuse treatment.

Love it!
 
Nothing to add. I just wanted to say the cartoon with the gay steamroller made me laugh out loud!
 
I wish people would stop blaming religion for hate. Most religious people don't hate and lots of non religious people are prejudice. It's like the opposite of the "gay agenda". Let's bash the religious.
