  • This is NOT an Anti-Lesbian Law this is an Anti-Homosexual law. Not all homosexuals are female, thier are also males, therefore, this law applies to both men and women. So it’s illegal to participate in homosexual intercourse (gay and/or lesbian) in Texas.

  • Texans politicans are homophoic and need to be shoot. Look at what bush did to the gay community

    [Reply]

    Sure. Reply:

    Though I strongly disagree with many of his policies, Bush didn’t do anything to the gay community, he just stood in the way of the gay community doing anything. Sure, some Texan politicians are homophobic, but many are not. Any that may be homophobic do not need to “be shoot”, as Texas continually exceeds the rest of the nation in awesomeness.

    Actually the old testament didn’t say anywhere in it that being gay was against god. The new testament does but that was in the middle ages when the churches were battling for political power; there for, many many paragraphs from the bible are wrongly translated since the first bibles were in latin. It’s merely a translation error.

  • Get your fucking facts straight. First of all, this is a law against Homosexuality, not just Lesbians. Second of all, this no longer applies due to Lawrence v. Texas, a lawsuit in which the Supreme Court overturned sodomy laws in Texas. Don’t post facts from 6 years ago, moron.

    hoss is a bigoted bastard.

  • God doesn’t make mistakes. There for a homosexual is not an afront to God but a natural form of humanity.

    The Bible does not forbid homosexuality, that was man when the King James Version of the Bible was printed.

    Don’t believe me have some one translate the orginal Greek and Hebrew Versions for you.

    another example, thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. The word translates to evil spell caster not witch………

    According to your logic sociopaths and murderers are not sinners because they are not “mistakes.” Homosexuality is a sin which God allows through free will.

  • ACTUALLY Amityny.. um the Bible clearly states :
    “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither be sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,” ~1 Corinthians 6:9
    therefore.. there shall not be homos around here.. enough said.

    [Reply]

    WTF! Reply:

    I dont realy believe in god but i think wat amityny says is true. if there is a god why would he create gays then tell ppl to hate them. love for someone is a natural human feeling. THEYRE HERE, THEYRE QUEER, DEAL WITH IT! lol

    god also wants us to accept and love all of our brothers and sisters. we all are images of god, the creater of everything. so god created homosexuality, at which god is not wrong, so homosexuality is not wrong.
