Here’s from the FBI from 2007 - http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/hc2007/incidents.htm

In 2007, law enforcement agencies reported 1,460 hate crime offenses based on sexual-orientation bias. Of these offenses:

59.2 percent were classified as anti-male homosexual bias.
24.8 percent were reported as anti-homosexual bias.
12.6 percent were prompted by an anti-female homosexual bias.
1.8 percent were the result of an anti-heterosexual bias.
1.6 percent were classified as anti-bisexual bias. (Based on Table 1.)

And these are just the reported incidents!

Straights are faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar more hatefully abusive of gays than the other way around. Me thinks you guys are all bass ackwards, and rather irresponsibly so.

You guys are missing the point. The post is about HATE!!!!!
Some gays hate straights and the haters are venomous and love to demonstrate their hate. Some straights hate gays and the haters are just as venomous. The point is the gay haters are the most vocal and do the most demonstrating. They hurt their own cause. What ever the cause is.

All that aside, most Jews don;t care one way or the other about gay marriage and it’s not because they are ignorant of their faith.

Besides, it really isn’t any of your business. I don’t want to look at morons, but life wasn’t designed around my wishes any more than it was your’s. You simply don’t like gays being “gay” in public. Well, boo hoo for you. Move to Iran and you won’t have to look at them any more. Like Ahmadinejad said, they have no gays there! LOL! Gays aren’t going to make your kids gay. Only you can do that, unless, of course, they really are born that way, in which case, you guys are gonna look like really, really, really bad.

To have one beliefes or lifestyle being taught top our kids in school id the first example of just how these people are doing anything but minding their own business. When the promotion of a lifestyle thru violence and intimidation is practiced it becaomes radical much like terrorist attack us because we dont accept their lifestyle or refuse to change ours for them.

Perez needs his pink little head slapped for that little hissy fit he threw and for contradicting himself in saying she could of answered that question any way she wanted to.
She did, and the little feminite brat didnt like it. Boo hoo.
He goes on to say that her answer should of been one that unites people and then immediately calls her a b*tch.
Yea bonehead, calling her that will really unite us folks and bring us all to your camp, wont it ?

Simply put, my Torah (bible) forbids sexual acts between the same sex.

Considering there are an estimated 750,000 homosexuals in California,
if even 10% of them were to marry, that’s 75,000.

Just think of all the adopted children..sharing their beds with mommy and mommy or daddy and daddy.

As a youngster, I enjoyed spending Sunday mornings with my mother and father. We were not an especially touchy feeli family unit…but those Sundays
were a pleasant break in an otherwise kind of cold household.

Somehow I cannot imagine hopping into bed with Danny and Manny, perferring Danny and Karen.

Besides..having Danny and Manny at a parent teacher’s meeting..well, you get the point.

There is one other aspect to this: we Jews are being reduced in numbers
by about 35,000 per year, thanks to assimilation and intermarriage.
Most children of these intermarriages do not choose to follow a Jewish lifestyle. After all, it is difficult and we are still a beseiged minority…..

The bottom line here is that same sex marriages and the gay lifestyle
are against G-ds law. It’s that simple.

Admittedly, there are rabbis who perform same sex marriages..and who
advocated voting No on Prop 8. Thank G-d for the Mormons and Catholics.

One thing about we Jews, when it comes to self-preservation..well
consider what happened to us from 1933 to 1945. We have never
recovered from that period..as George Will said once.

Personally me thinks this has nothing to do with promoting marriage or lifestyles,
but the TAX advantages of being married, and other benefits (life-insurance, etc.).

Yes, the question was inappropriate and in poor taste.

As far as “none of your business”, perhaps? But when children
are affected, it is all of our business. Let’s use the analogy of
two children, a boy and a girl, who are placed in a foster home
with parents who are totally disabled. Is that right?

We know that a single person cannot adopt a child (American citizen).

There are reasons why the caution.

Personally, I don’t think the government should intrude in one’s bedroom.
But sanctioning gay sex, or same sex marriages, is something else.
I am against public displays of affection by the same sex. I have seen
it often times, recalling years ago taking my date (female) to a hotel
to dance. On the dance floor was a lesbian couple…that sight so sickened me, I almost had to leave. To this day, I remember how revolting it was.

Had they danced in their own living room…okay, no harm, no foul.,
but on a public dance floor. They seemed so mal-adjusted..so really out of it.

It is wrong, and all of our business.

Glad to see someone out there agrees with me about this stupid pageant. I think Eric hit it on the nose when he said, “Why the heck was this question asked? What does gay marriage have to do with being Miss America?”

It’s a good point. After all, beauty pageants are about vacuus bimbos parading around feeling pretty. No one really cares what they think about anything, otherwise they’d be Jeopardy contestants instead of Miss American bimbos. I mean, has a Miss America ever amounted to anything? I don’t know.

I don’t get you’re “they just want the majority to change their standards and morals to fit THEIR lifestyle” though. I mean, what do you have to change? You’re not being asked to change anything, to do anything, to think anything. It’s not about you. Not everything in the universe is about you, is your business. The whole universe does not revolve around you - or Eric, or Micky, or me, or anyone. The only people who should “shut up” are the people who complain about gay rights. After all, it’s really none of their business. Nosey Nellies.

Jersey, you are SPOT ON about the pageant. Except after seeing the video of her, my question would have been ‘is a hummer out of the question?’

“I will not support the agents of intolerance.”

eric- they are not intolerant, they just want the majority to change their standards and morals to fit THEIR lifestyle.
