well, it most likely won't be passed anyhow. it is ridiculous. however, i try to look at things from both perspectives. and i could see how some pastors could, with or without meaning to, make their sermons on that subject seem very hateful and full of judgement. i do not agree with homosexuality, but as a christ follower, i am called to love everyone. i am not the one to judge these individuals that decide to live their lives like that... because i am a sinful person as well. my sin is just as great as theirs... i don't really know where i am trying to go with this... but, yeah. i know some homosexual individuals that go to church and feel a lot of judgement from the members of the church. i think that is sad. i am not saying we should accept their sin, but we should love on them just as we would anyone else. so yeah... haha. i don't even know what i am talking about anymore, and with that, have a great night!

ok they need to go eat carpet!

I agree completely, Patrick! However, as Rachael said, there are probably some preachers who have preached about it in a hateful manner. But if it is handed in a loving, very Biblically based manner, then I obviously don't think it's hate speech. Sometimes I wish people would stop and think for like two seconds instead of getting offended so easily... I mean, preachers have sermons about divorce being wrong, but no one wants to call that hate speech. Go figure.
