On August 28, 1963, I was 5 years old. While I was old enough, I don't recall watching or hearing Dr. King's speech. Today, I went to youtube and viewed and listened to the speech. Here it is (the link anyway)

I am not qualified to say much about this speech. I will say this. Dr. King was a man for all people in this country. Not just the African-Americans, but whites and Asians and Hispanic and all people in this country. I believe that while there is still racism in this country, it's not something that condoned by the government as it was 50 years ago.
Enjoy the video.
You cannot click that link (apparently) so copy and paste the link and you will be taken to the video.

Okay I understand ...
I may get some static for this posting, but you have to look at the logic behind it.
I understand that some people are wired as homosexual. It's beyond their control because that's how they are wired. But I have to question whether or not it's natural. I am NOT calling it a disease and I am NOT saying that homosexuals can be "healed". I'm only saying that it's not a natural state for humans. Humans can only reproduce through heterosexual intercourse. 2 men cannot reproduce and 2 women cannot reproduce. If being homosexual was a natural state then both genders would be able to reproduce. Although, the thought just occurred to me, perhaps the number of homosexuals is rising because the population of the Earth is reaching a tipping point. If the homosexuals do not reproduce that means there could be fewer people being born on this planet thus easing or at least slowing down the potential over population of the world.
I realize also that what is normal for me may not be normal for others. But you can't really argue with the reproductive system of humans. It takes both genders to reproduce. Yes I know, science has evolved enough to either artificially inseminate a woman and 2 men can adopt a child. But it still takes a sperm and an egg to make a human regardless of the sexual orientation of the humans in question.
By the way, God does NOT hate gays. He called 2 men lying together like a man and a woman an abomination, not the people involved. He loves the sinner, hates the sin and that applies to EVERY SIN AND SINNER and we are all sinners so I don't want you all to think I'm singling out anybody in particular. God loves me but not some of the things I've done. He loves the murderer, but not what the murderer has done. You get my drift.
Of course saying everything I've said, I think that the government needs to recognize same sex couples the same way they recognize different sex couples. It is against the Constitution of the United States to not apply the laws equally to all people (see the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States). That's where I stand on that (as if you couldn't tell from earlier posts).
If you're going to comment, please be nice, respectful and gentle. It is not may aim to enrage, but to discuss.
