Looks like they are starting at number 8 and going backwards. So I guess number 7 is their next goal. From the 1972 Gay Rights Platform:

"STATE:

1. All federal legislation and programs enumerated in Demands 1, 6, 7, 8, and 9 above
should be implemented at the State level where applicable. (1972 State-1)
2. Repeal of all state laws prohibiting private sexual acts involving consenting persons;
equalization for homosexuals and heterosexuals for the enforcement of all laws. (1972
State-2)
3. Repeal all state laws prohibiting solicitation for private voluntary sexual liaisons; and
laws prohibiting prostitution, both male and female. (1972 State-3)
4. Enactment of legislation prohibiting insurance companies and any other state-regulated
enterprises from discriminating because of sexual orientation, in insurance and in
bonding or any other prerequisite to employment or control of one's personal demesne.
(1972 State-4)
5. Enactment of legislation so that child custody, adoption, visitation rights, foster
parenting, and the like shall not be denied because of sexual orientation or marital status.
(1972 State-5)
6. Repeal of all state laws prohibiting transvestism and cross-dressing. (1972 State-6)
7. Repeal of all laws governing the age of sexual consent. (1972 State-7)
8. Repeal of all legislative provisions that restrict the sex or number of persons entering into a marriage unit; and the extension of legal benefits to all persons who cohabit regardless of sex or numbers. (1972 State-8)"

I say let the gays get married, they should deserve to be just as miserable like the rest of married couples.

Here is the thing I have noticed so far considering point 7 in the submitted platform presented above. No gay activist will acknowledge it ever existed, and no gay activist will deny it ever existed.

Now ntseer. What do you think about the Independent Westboro Baptist Church which has liberal political affiliations?

JQPublix, RE:

"Now ntseer. What do you think about the Independent Westboro Baptist Church which has liberal political affiliations?"

I assume you inquire concerning the infamous group in Topeka, Kansas?

Whenever one titles an independent Baptist church, the word "independent" should properly be spelled with a lower case "I."

An independent Baptist church is just that...independent, as an autonomous body. Such should be dependent upon our Lord Jesus, and in fellowship with other churches of like-faith. But, the same assembly answers to no one but God--not to government (within the bounds of legitimate law), and not to any religious hierarchy. They are, as an autonomous body free to do anything they are convicted to do. They also must be willing to reap the consequences of their actions.

As independent Baptists, they do not speak for my local, independent Baptist church. They may cast reproach upon our testimony, if they act in disobedience to God's Word. But, to those who understand, they do not represent us in what we believe and practice, for we have no denominational relationship.

The great thing about America: A person can believe anything one desires to--on his or her way to Hell. But only Biblical faith in Jesus Christ will gain us access to Heaven.

I'm in process of moving to a new location within our community, so I'll be unable to communicate with anyone for awhile, until I re-establish my internet connection.

JQPublix...I did not think you did...just wanted to clarify for al who might read our statements. Thanks.

Funny, I equate civil unions to be equivalent to common law marriages. No one says you are married; however, let one die and the other reaps the benefits. After six months of being together, the property becomes community property to be divided equaly upon "separation". At least, that is the way I understand it.

But they ARE NOT equivalent--they do not have "equal power" because religious institutions do not recognize them. The are equvalent in legal terms ONLY.

Ref. to the "bleep-out" in my previous comment: I suppose political correctness necessitated the site administrator bleeping out the word I used. However, I want all to understand that it was not a curse word, and was not a word I intended to be profane toward those who might involve themselves in same-sex unions. I disagree with them, but I have compassion toward them, desiring they find God's power to turn from their error.
