[Durham INC] 'Anti-Gay' is offensive language

[TheOcean1 at aol.com]

What I find offensive is someone telling me what I can discuss, and what I  
can't.
Since you take offense, or feel threatened by, so many of the comments  
here, perhaps this isn't the best listserv for you, Christine.

If this list-serve wants to go back on topic, I suggest you halt  all 
discussion on the gay marriage amendment, whether it be in support of  banning 
gay marriage or against it.


Many of you have made offensive remarks that don't belong in a  homeowner 
list serve.  Your offensive remarks are what spurred me to  speak up in the 
first place.


STOP the discussion of anti-gay marriage, period.  The letter  you sent had 
no business being sent in the first place.

Joshua, Please refrain from describing those who differ with your  opinion 
on gay marriage as anti-gay.  It is offensive.



Personally, I am NOT anti-gay.  I am anti-gay marriage, I am  NOT anti-gay.

Subject: [Durham INC]  Anti-Gay Amendment to be on Ballot in May

I know we are done  debating the topic, but I just wanted to update 
everyone on where the  amendment stands.  It passed both houses of state congress 
with the  3/5th's majority it needed.  So the amendment will be on the ballot 
-- in  the Republican primary -- in May!  So this amendment is clearly 
going to  pass.  


I do see a few silver linings: The amendment only got 30 out of  50 votes 
in the senate, the minimum it needed to pass.  1 vote would have  made all 
the difference!   The Republicans are so uncertain that the  amendment will 
get a majority vote that they scheduled it for the May  Republican Primary, 
when few Democrats will go the polls, all but ensuring  passage of the 
amendment, which needs a simple majority to pass.  This  shows that they are scared 
because attitudes are changing to support marriage  equality.  Finally, the 
last silver lining is that court cases from other  states are on their way 
to the US Supreme Court which may nullify this  amendment if it passes.
