"How to stop the fag agenda"

Had to repost this because I think it's important to stamp out ignorance and hate for that matter.


So you want to know "How to stop the fag agenda?"

Here's the supposed agenda.

First of all, you need to understand that I never had an agenda until assholes like you gave me one! I have always been a pretty private, live and let live sort of guy. If you don't bother me, then I won't bother you.

Problem is that you bothered me! Your President bothered me on national TV during a State of the Union Address. You bothered me when you started speaking our of both sides of you mouth, laughing at Will & Grace and condemning love in the same breath. You bothered me when you started to whine about queers pushing their liberal agenda on you with "Broke Back Mountain." If you don't like something, then don't pay the money to see it.

You bothered me with all your infernal whining.

Whining about the sanctity of marriage as you go for number 4 yourself.

Hypocritical, utterly useless whining for the sake of hearing your own shiny voice.

Grow up already!

Try googling "what it means to be an American citizen."

Frankly, from my perspective and in my opinion you attacked me and my relationship first. I was just minding my own business when you put your agenda upon me; not vice-versa. Do you realize I would never have thought of marriage if it hadn't been made into the ultimate political ploy? Until the religious right, President Dumbya, and GOP made it a central issue in this nation, I had never even considered it. It wasn't until the RIGHT & RED agenda started threatening my relationship; not marriage, but me...That is when I got an agenda. My agenda is the same as yours, and that is to protect what is rightfully mine.

You see, until the President launched a national agenda to outlaw fags; I had no agenda. I had no real understanding of marriage and the civil rights it confers on two loving people. But when my 14 year, monogamous, 100% committed relationship was defamed in the most public of ways, I made it my mission to learn about marriage. To learn about why it was important. To learn it's historical context.

I doubt you have done any of that? You know what they say about "assumptions?"

What I know you have done, particularly by the choice of the word "fag" instead of the more common "gay agenda" is hate people with a prejudice you don't fully understand yourself. What you have shown me with that word; in that very pointed question you asked google, is that you know little of what marriage is about, and even less about what being an American really means.

Ultimately your word choice tells me to have pity on an ignorant, sheltered, repressed little hay-seed like yourself.

You see, my googling friend you are the one with the agenda; not the fags.

The so-called "Gay-Agenda" is really an American Agenda.

In America all citizens are to be treated with the same respect and considerations under the law. There are no qualifiers that say one is allowed this right, and another isn't. Equal under the law is our greatest achievement. This founding principle of equality is the backbone of who we are as a people. It is the reason we have a democracy that other nations envy.

We aren't the middle east where women can't vote because they are considered inferior to the virtue of choice. This isn't the former South Africa where blacks were in recent memory still treated like sub-humans. This is not supposed to be a place where "equality" is determined by popular vote. This is America and as an American I have an agenda and it is to be treated with the same legal respect as every other American, including and most especially you!

You see marriage is a civil right. Marriage is also a religious rite. The two are mutually exclusive! You can have a religious marriage and your church will recognize it, but without the support of the state, it means nothing legally. Churches and faith give you a "rite" not a "right" in marriage. See the difference? I doubt it, but I am trying to teach you something here so let me continue.

I only bring it up because it is one of the most common points of contention from the Fundies: "No fag is going to force my church to marry him or any other queer." To that I say you are absolutely right! I know this because no fag has demanded that any church perform a wedding. Religious marriage is a ceremony that conveys faith, rules of engagement, and community support. I would no more want a marriage in your church than you would mine. But this really isn't the point. Your argument about "forcing churches" to marry people is but so much hot air on the breeze. It's not relevant because no one has merely asked or demanded such recognition. And without question, the amendments don't speak to this at all! If that was what this was about, then they should say: "No religious organization in the United States will be forced to conduct a marriage ceremony unless it is between one man and one woman." But that's not what we are really talking about, is it?

The gay community, wants to have equal CIVIL contracts of marriage. We want the 1000+ rights that come with marriage, as bestowed upon a citizen by law...Not by God. I don't think, as a tax paying, law abiding citizen of America that this is too much to ask. It's my birthright, just as it is the birthright of every other citizen.

So my friend if you want to stop the "fag agenda;" all you need to do is stop defining it that way. If you don't like me because of the person I love, that's cool. I might not like you because of your wife. I might think she is an ugly you a you know what; but that is your life and it is not my place to judge. More to the point, I don't care. If you are happy, then good for you.

My agenda is to be equal. My agenda is to see the day that my relationship and all that it encompasses is legally protected by the laws of the United States of America.

Mine is an American Agenda. So simply, to stop the "fag agenda" stop calling it that. That's not what it is.

The only real agenda as it relates to fags is your agenda to call us names, tell us we are going to hell, and much worse. Yours is a Hate-Based agenda that has joined forces with a Faith-based initiative. Your question speaks volumes of your ignorance of America. Your question of hate gives you more in common with the terrorists than any American I know. "You hate us for our freedom" to paraphrase the President. I don't believe that anymore today, than when he said it.

They hate us, and you hate us because you demand respect you haven't earned from us.

In America no citizen is any more a citizen than any other, and equally none are any less.

To stop the agenda, you need to stop lending your ignorant voice to it.

In a simple act of granting equal rights to all Americans, the agenda is done.

Unfortunately, you and yours feel it morally respectable to put civil rights on a ballot. Allowing the majority to determine the rights of the minority. Nothing could be less American! If that were our way, African Americans would not vote and they would not read; they would still be in the fields picking cotton. The WHITE majority would never have voted to give the minority anything. You know it and so do I.

So if you want to "stop the agenda" you need to stop it from within. We the "fags" aren't the ones with the agenda, it's you the hater that has an agenda.

Take comfort in knowing that the only one proud of you for this isn't God, it's Adolf Hitler. No one before or since has been a greater proponent of the more and the less rightful citizen. God is embarrassed by you. His message is of love. His message is to leave the judgment to Him. His message is to be a good person. His message is NOT to add value to His list of sins. All sins are equal in God's eyes. So if I am to go to hell for being gay (which I don't believe) I will see you there; 'cause none of us is that perfect or that repentant.
