Not sure if anyone heard about this. Its sad AND pisses me off at the same time. This is 2010 people! It upsets me that people are still so intolerant of gay/transpeople. I recently had a friend loose his job because he was gay. I hear remarks from people in the glbt community here in Bama that they don't understand trans people. I thought society was changing and growing :sigh:

I can see why you say that. This is some of our local DJ's here in Bama.

there is no such thing as sola scriptura.
I get real tired of folks who don't even understand scripture to use it soley as their benchmark for hate.

I am shocked and saddened that this happened. I used to live and savannah. I know the city has a high crime rate...but I never encountered any problems for being gay...and I was very much out and open about my homosexuality when I lived there.

The sad thing is or I should say ANOTHER sad thing is, people can accept women being gay more so then men *shrug*
