Thousands of delegates at the denomination's annual meeting in New Orleans on Wednesday were nearly unanimous.
It affirms Southern Baptist belief that marriage is "the exclusive union of one man and one woman" and that "all sexual behavior outside of marriage is sinful."
It acknowledges that gays and lesbians sometimes experience "unique struggles" but declares that they lack the "distinguishing features of classes entitled to special protections."
The nation's largest Protestant denomination is attempting to broaden its appeal beyond its traditional white Southern base. At the same time, leaders said they feel it is important to take a public stand on their opposition to same-sex marriage.
How does my response that the people posting these hatefull remarks are nutjobs differ at all from their multiple remarks in this same email chain that "gays are mentally disturbed, have screws lose, are srewed in the head with faulty mental wiring" any different? Did you criticize them for their vitriolic name calling.Of course not, because you are also a biggot like them.
And, like Crawfish Creek, you have an unhealthy obsession with all things gay. Me thinks the lady doth protest too much. You know, it runs in the family.
How you nut jobs relate being gay to pedophilia just illustrates that all you are is hate mongers. Gay people are consenting adults and no one is harmed. You have no interest in the the truth--only in spreading hate.
Since its not acceptable to hate black people openly anymore--even in Georgia--I guess you must have all jumped on this bandwagon. I can only imagine what small pathetic lives you live.

Being gay is natural... being a bigot is a choice. Talk about being "screwed up in the head".
2. While perhaps using that particular quote is harsh, I certainly maintain that people who spout that kind of hate are bigots. And, it seems odd to me that bigots are somehow forgiven (or at least overlooked) for their CHOICES, while people who are homosexual are practically spat upon for being BORN THAT WAY. So, yeah... perhaps I do consider people with that amount of hate inside of them to be a bit messed up in the head. My parents and my church did not raise me to speak so ill of my fellow man... perhaps I'm just lucky that I was taught the love of Christ, not the hatred of man.
