Homosexual Outrage, Free Speech, Quit Bitching

I saw the single greatest and boldest t-shirt in the history of man yesterday. No, Richard, it was not the "Jesus is a C***" shirt that the disgusting black metal fags from Cradle of Filth sell, it was much more eye catching. Plain and simple, a red shirt with big bold yellow letters.

ALL HOMOS GO TO HELL

When I first saw it I cringed, that's the natural reaction. It was genius though. A very small band of traveling black preachers called "The Soulwinners" had come to PSU. And boy did attract a crowd. Single-handedly, those shirts caused more outrage and led more people to the crowd than anything else. People were actually asking the Willard Preacher for advice! And they hate him!

While I don't agree with the statement "All homos go to hell," it does have a certain ring to it. The catholic church teaches this:

1994 The Catechism of the Catholic Church
-homosexuality refers to men and women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction towards the same sex
-homosexuality has taken various historical and cultural forms and its cause remains largely unexplained
-homosexual people must be treated with respect, compassion and sensitivity
-all unjust discrimination toward them should be avoided
-the homosexual inclination is "objectively disordered"
-homosexual acts are portrayed in Scripture as a "grave depravity;" Tradition has always declared them "intrinsically disordered" and contrary to the natural law because they (1) are closed to the gift of life and (2) do not proceed from genuine male/female complementarily. They can never be approved.

1997 Always Our Children
(National Conference of [US] Catholic Bishops)
-Sexuality is a gift of God. Everyone should acknowledge and accept [his] sexual identity which helps us define the unique persons we are. One component, sexual orientation, is a deep-seated, relatively stable dimension of one's personality experienced as a given and not something freely chosen
-homosexual people of God, "gifted and called" for a purpose in God's design
-nothing in the Bible or Catholic teaching can be used to justify prejudicial or discriminatory attitudes and behaviors towards homosexual people
-the fundamental rights of homosexual persons must be defended and all must strive to eliminate injustice, oppression or violence
-homosexual persons have a right to be welcomed into the community, to hear the word of God and to receive pastoral care; homosexual people should have an active role in the Christian community; those who are leading a chaste life should have opportunities to lead and serve the community
-it is God's plan that every act of sexual intercourse occur only in marriage between a man and a woman and be open to new life


I agree with it, almost in its entirety. If that is something you don't like, then toooooo bad for you.

Now, the reason that I was writing this is because of some opinion columns over at the Daily If I agree with it, I'll print it in its entirety. Apparently people have not yet been able to decipher the cryptic and mystical rune-filled document known only as "The Constitution of The United States of America". Seriously, WTF.

I have to go and work. I'll finish this later.
