I just thought I would throw this in here....for no major reason but yall remember Mr' Noodle aka Michael Jeter?
Ya know what happened to him in real life?
Well....... he died of AIDS. How did he get aids? Well, his boyfriend gave it to him. I mean I know that is not the only way you contract this disease, but I find it somewhat ironic that an actor from Seseme Street died of a disease because of homosexual sex.

I always grew up thinking they were brothers.
We were talking about this topic at work the other day, and about 5 of my colleagues said 'But they're brothers aren't they?'...seems I wasn't the only one.
This whole notion is ridiculous. I read a response from the producers of Sesame Street in which they stated that :The characters were created to teach preschoolers that you can still be very good friends with someone who is very different from you. Although the characters are represented as Male, and have human characteristics, they are not in any kind of 'relationship'.. they are PUPPETS they do NOT have any sexual orientation!
It makes me wonder why some things are deemed acceptable and others are not? ie: The TV sitcom 'My name is Earl'... Earl and Randy are brothers and sleep in the same bed- are they supposed to get married now too? Because that is the very same reasoning that the gay rights activists are using to push for the wedding of Bert and Ernie- because they share a house and sleep in the same bed.
I'm curious. Have these people not heard of housemates. Granted the 'sharing the bed thing' is not exactly normal for people who aren't in some kind of 'committed relationship' but c'mon.. they're freakin' puppets (or in the case of randy and earl...just a little odd). However, I'm willing to admit that when I was a teenager (around the age of 12-15) it wasn't uncommon at an 'all-girls' slumber party for girls to share the same bed- as friends! No one found that weird! None of us were required to get 'married'... in fact many of those close friends of mine, have since grown up, married Godly men, and are happily raising families...who woulda thought?!
I've seen arguments for this stating that they wouldn't be sharing a house if they weren't in a 'relationship'. Really? So does that mean now that every person on the planet who lives in the same house with someone of the same gender who is not related to them, now has to redfine their relationship with that person? If so, we can no longer have housemates, or friends visiting, or our brothers mates girlfriend stop by for night on her way through town! It's just insane.
I'm really worried about the future of our society. Currently Australia is facing the political debate of whether to allow 'same sex marriage' as an equality thing bla bla. Morals have gone out the window, and it's alarming to say the least!
** on a slightly more amusing sidenote**... If they really want us to believe that Bert and Ernie are in fact 'Gay' they seriously need to do something about Bert's unibrow, since no 'gay man' would have a 'unibrow' like that. Oh, and stripes..really? I don't think so!

I might have misinterpreted or at least believed others misinterpretations, since I haven't read most of the bible but no one has ever mentioned that God accepts LGBT's as equals. Regardless of the truth of that matter, I've read enough of the bible to see that God is not omnibenevolent. Anyone who uses such a harsh,cruel ultimatum (involving hell) cannot be as good as you say he is.
I know I'm gonna get bashed for this but, hey, who cares...
I believe a LARGE majority of the Old Testament got mixed up with politics and the ancient beliefs of the time. There is overwhelming evidence that pagan beliefs and myths got mixed into the passages. And what people don't like to mention is that the old testament is strictly about that area of the world, at that time. The New Testament has to do with everyone. It took place in the middle east, but Jesus died so ALL people could be free from death (the TRUE, endless death.)
I believe a lot of the old testament is allegory on how people at that time were to live their lives, to build big and strong Jewish civilizations. and having gays running around wouldn't exactly help that.
But the hebrew words used for "gay" in the Old Testament were more like "anal rape" than "consensual anal sex," which the Israelites DID have a word for.

I was confronted by this issue in a very real way today.
I was in the city, minding my own business happily doing some shopping when some 'Gay marriage activists' group were marching through the city streets with plaquards, and loud speakers and rainbow clown wigs, chanting some rubbish about marriage being a civil right for everyone.
Um, wrong- marriage is a union -instituted by God himself, entered into by one man and one woman who voluntarily commit their lives to each other for the rest of their days...but what would I know anyway? (The sarcasm drips).
All I wanted to do today was get my nails done and shop for shoes in peace, but without any choice in the matter- I had that 'forcibly shoved in my face'. Thank the Lord for iPods we can switch up loud with worship music!
All I could do at the time was pray as I waited in the queue at Target, and trust that God is in control of our nation!
