I'm not racist.  I am very glad that African Americans don't
have to sit in the back of the bus anymore.  Segregation was
wrong.  Opposing homosexual "BEHAVIOR" is very different from
being a racist.  "BEHAVIOR" is a choice, skin color is not.
The bible is quite clear on homosexual "BEHAVIOR" being wrong.
The loving thing to do is to admonish the sinner, not promote
the sin.  What I am "spouting" is not hate.  I said good
riddance to the people Keith talked about because of their
"BEHAVIOR."  Marriage is well defined, it does not include
homosexual couples.
