		<description><![CDATA[Marcos, 
 Stop believing the falsehoods of the Father of Lies(Satan) which has fooled man from the beginning of time, in the Garden of Eden, by turning his back on GOD. 
 I was once part of the activities of homosexuality but I am no longer for when you bend knee in full repentance to our Creator, he will see your heart and forgive your sinful ways.  I overcame this addiction, a learned behavior, by opening my mind; being open to listening, listening to people like the National Organization for Marriage and a family christian radio here in New York City (570WMCA).    

 The Lord mentions in  his word in Proverbs 3:21, &quot;My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment , do not let them out of your sight: they will be life for you, and ornament to grace your neck.&quot;
 But that change can only come when you are willing to be obedient to what you listen. What is the difference between sound judgment and discernment, you may ask? Discernment ( or discretion) is the ability GOD gives to many people to think and make correct choices. Sound judgment, however, he gives only to those who follow him. Sound judgment includes discernment but goes beyond it. It includes the knowledge that comes from instruction, training, and discipline, and the insight that results from knowing and applying GOD&#039;s truths.
There are great teachers and pastors on the radio today that GOD uses  and his message will stir you and you will hunger for the truth, the truth that JESUS brought into this World.

That anger or revenge that you feel comes from the sin itself and as sinners we tend to accuse those who know the truth, truth that comes only through the Holy Spirit of GOD. 
 Hatred and bigotry comes from the sin itself not from GODs truths. As a follower of Jesus we are taught to show love and compassion and humility in our responses when someone disagrees.
 You were born from a woman not a man-GOD made everything perfect and 2 men and 2 women just don&#039;t equate. The evil behind this so called &#039;Gay Movement&#039; is one major factor to blame for your feelings because they purposely intend to mask sexual immorality with the words LOVE, EQUAL RIGHTS and CIVIL RIGHTS-which is not its a deplorable lie, so don&#039;t fall for it.  You were not born this way-its a sin, a learned behavior and trust me when I tell you; the day when you open your heart to Christ you will understand what it means-but the will and determination has to be in you.
  Men in sin can&#039;t help you but deceive you-the links you posted are to sympathize with a lifestyle of perversion. You can only find peace in you when you overcome your sinful lifestyle and with true repentance my brother. 
**GOD BLESS YOU from New York and I will have you in my prayers~~♥]]></description>

 &lt;blockquote&gt;   It is the intent of the legislature that for all purposes under
state law, state registered domestic partners shall be treated the
same as married spouses. Any privilege, immunity, right, benefit, or
responsibility granted or imposed by statute, administrative or court
    rule, policy, common law or any other law to an individual because
the individual is or was a spouse, or because the individual is or was
an
    in-law in a specified way to another individual, is granted on
equivalent terms, substantive and procedural, to an individual because
the individual is or was in a state registered domestic partnership or
because the individual is or was, based on a state registered domestic
partnership, related in a specified way to another individual. The
    provisions of this act shall be liberally construed to achieve
equal treatment, to the extent not in conflict with federal law, of
state registered domestic partners and married spouses. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

   Let us see.

   If the bill is not passed, same-sex couples in domestic
partnerships will still have equality under state law as married couples.

   If the bill IS passed, same-sex couples in &quot;marriages&quot; will NOT
have equality under federal law as married couples.

   What, exactly, is redefining marriage supposed to solve, again?

		<description><![CDATA[We need to get the word out to religious communities that anti-gay people are twisting God&#039;s words to condone their hate.

Homosexuality is not a sin. The Bible is constantly being taken out of context to support anti-gay views. Scholars who have studied the Bible in context of the times and in relation to other passages have shown those passages (Leviticus, Corinthians, Romans, etc) have nothing to do with homosexuality. These passages often cherry-picked while ignoring the rest of the Bible. The sins theses passages are referring to are idolatry, Greek temple sex worship, prostitution, pederasty with teen boys, and rape, not homosexuality or two loving consenting adults.
