“Across America and around the world, diverse communities such as ours are wrestling with complex social and moral questions,” Michael R. Otterson, a church spokesman, said in a statement to the City Council. “The issues before you tonight are the right of people to have a roof over their heads and the right to work without being discriminated against.”


They are stopping short of supporting gay marriage, but this is a step forward

This is par for the course.  They were late on accepting racial integration, and they're late on gay rights too.

Ohio will be accepting Gay Marriages before Utah will. Hell, we recently accepted Casinos!

Here in Massachusetts we were the first, and, counter to what some would have you believe, life still goes on.

True.

Like I would mention, I don't like the art of Sodomy, but I like the gay person. (God loves them too, but he despises the art of Sodomy).

You lie!  I know you're being held at gun point by the gayz to say that!

Wow, I never saw it as an art.  ;D

By the way, does anybody know if Sodom and Gomorrah still exist as cities in israel?  If so, what are their inhabitants referred to as?

I suppose if it's done properly..

I always thought of it as a bit of a pain in th.. no, not going to crack that one

No, Sodom and Gomorrah don't exist - there are archaeologists who claim to have found them (can't help but wonder if they found a Sodom haul), but I'm not aware of any proof that they ever existed or were as bad as made out... or even indulged in sodomy.

Probably just as well.  I mean, just think if there was a Sodom High School.  Would the neighboring schools really want to send their wrestling team to match up with The Fighting Sodomites?  ;D ;D

I'd hate to see what the team mascot would be!  ;D

Despite same-sex marriage being legal throughout the country (Canada), I have only met one married same-sex couple. Seriously, as Danoota said, life really does go on. The only thing that stops is all the hub-hub (no pun intended).

No, the Bible says God wrecked 'em!
:D

If they ever existed, and there's some question as to whether these cities ever did, scholars believe they were near the north end of the Dead Sea.  Not exactly prime real estate nowadays.

Last year at Christman I gave each of my employees a small square block of marble and then told them the story of how nobody thought the statue of David could be produced from the block of marble that the church had obtained for it; that even Leonardo da Vinci said it could not be done.

But then Michelangelo looked at the stone and said "I already see the statue, I just have to remove the marble that is around it".

I then asked my employees to look at their careers like Michelangelo looked at that block of marble... remove the unwanted bits so that the true statue will appear.

Heck, in Massachusetts we have gay marriage and Barney Frank, who came out to his constituents in the 70s with barely a bat of they eye.
