Storm-Over-Krynn,
As Christians we typically subscribe to the doctrines of the New Testament. These say that we are all sinners- and that we all have a place with God. All we need do to claim that place before our Lord is to accept His savation, REPENT of our sins, and live Christian lives.
Individuals who live an active homosexual lifestyle do NOT live a repentant, Christian existence.
[13] Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. [14] Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.
Source: Romans 13:13-14. New International Version.
[12] "Everything is permissible for me"--but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible for me"--but I will not be mastered by anything. [13] "Food for the stomach and the stomach for food"--but God will destroy them both. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. [14] By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also. [15] Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! [16] Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh." [17] But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit. [18] Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. 19Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; [20] you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.
Source: 1 Corinthians 6: 12-20. New International Version.
[3] But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. [4] Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.
Source: Ephesians 5: 3-4. New International Version.
[3] It is God's will that you should be sanctified: [4] that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, [5] not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God;

I'm no fan of this type of music, but it this story shows a clear and blatant hypocrisy within the gay community. Apparently people are only allowed to have a voice- if they are PRO homosexual...
Are you kidding me?!? Are you saying that cancelling the show because they didn't want a riot to break out from the hate messages of the artists in question is "pro-homosexual"?!?! Maybe you should read what these songs are saying....
Beenie Man and T.O.K. have released songs that deride gays through slang terms. One Beenie Man song calls for a lesbian hanging, and a T.O.K tune suggests gay men be burned.
Is that the message you want proclaimed at an event promoting AIDS/HIV awareness?!?
With attitudes like that it's no wonder gays will have nothing to do with the so-called "church" and so many of the unchurched consider christians homophobes and bigots!!!

Nope. I'm just stating the obvious. Homosexual groups want to protest and march for what they consider their "civil" rights...
then they want to protest another groups freedom of speech.
Like I said, I don't agree with that type of music... but I'm no fan of the homosexual, either.
Scripture I quoted above serves nicely:
[3] But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. [4] Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.

With freedom also comes responsibility. Would you consider it hypocritical for a church to call the police or kick a bunch of gay activists out of their revival meeting because they came in in with banners saying "Christians are homophobes" or "Gay is o.k." or "God is dead"? Or should the activist be allowed their "free speech"?

I guess if the rappers were performing at a gay event you'd have a point....

Anti-gay group coming to protest at military funeral
quote:
Anti-gay protesters from a Topeka, Kan., church will picket a U.S. Navy Seabee's funeral in Galesburg[, IL] Saturday -- the third time the group will descend on the city.
Westboro Baptist Church members will be outside the funeral of Petty Officer 1st Class Jerry Allen Tharp, a Naval Reservist from rural Aledo, protest organizer and church member Shirley Phelps-Roper said in a telephone interview Wednesday.
The group believes soldiers are being killed in Iraq because God is punishing the United States, especially its military, for tolerating homosexuality, she said.

Interestingly this is now banned (or limited) by state and federal law; but may not be for long thanks to our friends at the ACLU.

I'll have to admit I was a bit surprised by the Washington state decision. I thought this might go the other way.
It appears advocates of same-sex "marriage" aren't having a good summer. They've struck out in the courts several times recently.

WELL SAID!
"Our civil rights struggle to engage in protest against the excesses of the gay 'civil rights' movement is about more than the freedom to petition our government for a redress of grievances. It is also about our deeply held religious conviction that expressing opposition to homosexuality is love speech, not 'hate speech.' The Word of God to Ezekiel (33:8,9) is illustrative: 'If I announce that some wicked people are sure to die and you fail to tell them to change their ways, then they will die in their sins, and I will hold you responsible for their deaths. But if you warn them to repent and they don't repent, they will die in their sins, but you will have saved yourself.' So, as one can clearly see—if one simply opens his eyes and his heart—the true Christian views the phrase 'it's OK to be gay' to be a form of hate speech. In the view of those who are true followers of Christ, it is a refrain no more hostile than the suggestion that the homosexual simply 'go to hell.' And, so, I submit that those of us who criticize the excesses of the false gay 'civil rights' struggle are the ones involved in the true civil rights struggle on America's campuses." —Mike Adams

From the article;
quote:
Sacramento, California – Campaign for Children and Families is shocked and dismayed that California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed SB 1441 (Kuehl). Today’s disastrous action by Schwarzenegger means Christian and other faith-based colleges in California will be forced to promote transsexuality, bisexuality, and homosexuality if they accept students with Cal Grants.
So schools that have strong convictions concerning this should not take government money.
When you deal with the government, you gotta play by thier rules.
Thanks

The hysteria that the religious right exhibits is almost embarassing. Here's the wording of the bill....
SB 1441, Kuehl Discrimination: state programs and activities:
sexual orientation.
Existing law prohibits discrimination on the basis of, among other
things, race, national origin, ethnic group identification,
religion, age, sex, color, or disability, against any person in any
program or activity conducted, operated, or administered by the state
or by any state agency, or that is funded directly by the state, or
that receives any financial assistance from the state. Existing law
also requires, with respect to disability, that these programs and
activities meet the protections and prohibitions contained in certain
provisions of the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990,
and the federal rules and regulations implementing that act, or state
law if the state protections and prohibitions are stronger.
This bill would add sexual orientation to these provisions and
define for these purposes "sex" and "sexual orientation."
The bill would also expand the definition of discrimination under
these provisions to include a perception that a person has any of
these enumerated characteristics or that the person is associated
with a person who has, or is perceived to have, any of these
characteristics.
SECTION 1. Section 11135 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
(a) No person in the State of California shall, on the
basis of race, national origin, ethnic group identification,
religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, color, or disability, be
unlawfully denied full and equal access to the benefits of, or be
unlawfully subjected to discrimination under, any program or activity
that is conducted, operated, or administered by the state or by any
state agency, is funded directly by the state, or receives any
financial assistance from the state.....
(f) As used in this section, "race, national origin, ethnic group
identification, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, color, or
disability" includes a perception that a person has any of those
characteristics or that the person is associated with a person who
has, or is perceived to have, any of those characteristics.
This bill protects minorities, the disabled and those who identify themselves as gay against DISCRIMINATION or access to state funded benefits. It does NOT force schools to teach or promote homosexuality any more that schools are forced to teach heterosexuality now. Children are more endangered by smokers than they are by this bill.
SB 1441
