      Torgo - The Torgo Blog: Gays & Lesbians OK, Christians NOT OK!

      I received the following comment, so am taking the time & effort to post the response as a full blog entry. To explain the situation, there was a Christmas parade where a gay and lesbian float was allowed, but a Christian float WAS NOT! The anonymous comment posted was as follows:

      Quit your whining. You and you whole damn religion whine if you dont get your way or someone else gets what you want. If you wanted a stupid float, why didnt you go ask to put one in the parade? Why didnt you protest the parade? You didnt do either and now you just sit on your site and whine. Besides gay and lesbians are what people care and want to hear about. Not you. "It makes me wonder how much time will pass before any admited Christians will be forced to go to the middle of a stadium, where lions will be released..." Does it make you feel high and mighty quoting things from the bible? Do you think your vague reference is going to make people care? If your going to stand up for you religion, then do it in real life and stop being an idiot.


      My reply is as follows:

      Boy, I have to say the above comment is the most blatantly hypocritical and narrow minded comment I've had posted to my blog to date... I may as well analyze this step by step...


      > Quit your whining. You and you whole damn religion
      > whine if you dont get your way or someone else gets
      > what you want.


      There's a right to freedom of speech in this country. It's nice to know you believe that Gay and Lesbians have the right to be in a parade, but I don't have the right to say biggoting Christians is wrong.

      Why in the world are so many people blind to the fact that being gay or lesbian is celebrating sexual choice. Next thing you know they're going to have an orgy or s&m float, because basically celebrating these things are on the exact same level as celebrating other sexual preferences...


      > If you wanted a stupid float, why didnt you go
      > ask to put one in the parade?


      Because tens of thousands already did, and basically I did as well, as in this blog. Realize, a float was ALREADY MADE, however they simply WOULD NOT LET IT IN!


      > Why didnt you protest the parade?

      I did, I took absolutely no part in it... And I spoke up against it here... The parade did not happen where I live, and in my current financial situation I had no way of going to where the parade was. I also could not afford to take any time off work... If you would like to fund any future endeavors of mine, then maybe we can make an arrangement.


      > You didnt do either and now you just sit
      > on your site and whine.


      Actually you are being a little blind sided here. If I hadn't done either, then how in the world are you able to post here? Obviously I publicly stated my view, otherwise you would have never been able to reply to my view here...


      > Besides gay and lesbians are what people care and
      > want to hear about. Not you.


      Boy, talk about self centered. It's nice to know you believe I'm the only person in this entire country who feels this way. It's also nice to know you feel you have the right to dictate what people do and don't want. I hate to break it to you though, there are millions & millions of people in this country who share my view. You aut to climb out from under the rock your screaming from...


      > Does it make you feel high and mighty quoting things
      > from the bible? Do you think your vague reference is
      > going to make people care? If your going to stand up
      > for you religion, then do it in real life and stop
      > being an idiot.


      Does it make you feel high and mighty to post this here, trying to attack me? Do you think your vague references here are going to make me, or other readers of my blog care?

      I am standing up for my religion. Obviously I do have a voice because, again, you would not be posting here if you hadn't read my views first hand...

      You also post this here as if I made this post weeks after the parade simply to complain. I posted this when the story first surfaced, several weeks BEFORE the parade. This blog is one of the only ways I have to get my voice heard. And again, it obviously worked...

      This post was simply to express my view. If you believe it's wrong for me to do this, then I really don't know what to say. As if this is the case, you are simply confirming that what I detailed in the article is happening. I posted this to speak up, and you feel I shouldn't have expressed my views... I'm getting the feeling that you think I should be pushed into the middle of a stadium...

      My big issue I had here was not that a gay and lesbian float was in the parade, rather it was that they allowed this float in while directly excluding the Christian float. They were allowing people to express sexual views without allowing others to express faith views. Had they allowed the Christian float into the parade, I wouldn't have complained.

      I simply was stating the obvious, the parade allowed a Gay and Lesbian float, while telling those making the Christian float to F off...
