UPDATE: U.S. to use foreign aid to promote gay rights

Obama

The Obama administration on Tuesday announced a wide-ranging effort to use U.S. foreign aid to promote rights for gays and lesbians abroad, including combating attempts by foreign governments to criminalize homosexuality.

President Obama in a memorandum directed U.S. agencies working abroad, including the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development, to use foreign aid to assist gays and lesbians who are facing human rights violations. He also ordered U.S. agencies to protect vulnerable gay and lesbian refugees and asylum seekers.

    This was meant to be an American comic entitled “How to Explain Gay Rights to an Idiot.” I think it serves Dominicans quite well:

    The amount of ignorance, hate, lack of grammar, and homophobia are saddening to me. Let’s get one thing ‘straight’ – the bible seems to explicitly address the hatred of another human being:

    Leviticus 19:18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.

    So, for the majority of you Dominicans who express overt hatred towards homosexuals: you’re violating the commandments from the book you hold most sacred – you are walking contradictions and should be ashamed of yourselves. Dominica will not ever advance as a respected nation (let me disillusion you – nobody respects Dominica because of its antiquated, slow, stubborn, and uneducated populace) if it does not realize that we are not still in Biblical times!

    When was the last time that somebody being gay directly influenced your life? When was the last time that being against gay people helped you better yourself?

    Wake up, Dominica! A lot of your population is gay – if you let them come out and be who they are, grant them the rights they deserve, just like anybody else – they can finally be productive members of society without worrying about your bigotry – your country will start to advance.

      What rights? What hatred? You will never comprehend because you are blinded and deaf and living in darkness of the truth.
      We are speaking the truth and we are obligated to speak the truth.
      You call yourself getting educated? They already have rights as you and I. What more rights do they need?
      The type of lifestyle they live, they should be ashamed of themselves and not bring it out in the open for all to know. This is no pride.
      Have you seen or heard married people going about saying “I am married” or those who are separated, divorced and single saying that “I am divorced; I am separated; I am single” and want and demand special treatment?
      These people have an agenda and are pursuing it and it is not a good one nor beneficial to society. The only right they are entitled to is fair housing, employment and to be treated with dignity and respect.
      A Law does not have to be enacted to duplicate what Dominicans already have and are enjoying.

        I can see and hear just fine. In fact, I’m not the one blinded by misguided morals. Moreover, I hear what you’re saying and some of your points are rooted in reason. However, let me systematically elucidate your incompetence:
        1) “What rights?” – The right to express oneself. Gays are demanding to be treated as equals in society – we are not. Being regularly persecuted (and not being granted protection from said persecution) infringes on ones right to live freely. (Yes, that would be you persecuting us)
        2) “What hatred?” Read the ignorant comments of your fellow locals below – then tell me how far your society has advanced from being cavemen.
        3) I’m glad to hear you say they should be treated with dignity and respect – now do so. Do not infringe on our rights to love another man or woman – who I love has no bearing on you. A law protecting gays from hateful acts is not in place – it is far from a duplication.

    Justice and truth, you are a contradiction, sunday is not the Day that the Creator God ask to keep HOly, it is Saturday. If you read the bible you will see where God said it was an abomination to work on his hOLY SEVENTH dAY,when he rested, so you have it very wrong, the Bible God also calls lying an abomination, and adultery, in fact, there are many things which the bible define as abomination which so call church goers, do.So your righteous indignation is very hypocritical, as you don’t obey any of God commandment, the main one being LOVE your neighbour as yourself,do unto others as you would they did unto you. Saying equal rights for all. God loves Gays and lesbians, he knew them in the mothers womb where he formed them, so are you bigger than God.

      So you turned expert on when God established Sunday as the Sabbath? In this day and age I expect this coming from you and one who knows nothing. So much for you.
      Your religion, pastor and yourself took the Holy Bible and interpreted it to suit your mentality. You were not the first one who had the Holy Bible. If only your ancestors who predeceased you would return and inform you about it. They now know the truth and of their error if they also did not regard Sunday as the Sabbath.
      The reason why Sunday is the Sabbath of the Catholic Church which was established 2000 years ago after Our Lord Jesus Christ came to earth and approves it, He always appeared to the Disciples on a Sunday. Thus, the reason why the Sabbath is a Sunday which other religions borrowed and adopted.
      Our Almighty Father approves it. When He gave Moses the Ten Commandments, this is what He meant that the Sabbath would be on a Sunday. If He disapproved, we would have known it a long time ago. Therefore, as a non-Catholic, you have gravely erred and have no say in this matter. Your views do not count and have no substance. My religious education generated from those who know and not those who do not know as you.

    I hope all the commenters here angry at sin will express at least the same degree of anger against domestic violence as they have here at homosexuality. I know I am far more concerned whether my neighbor is being beaten by her husband than whether she is attracted to women instead of men. So lets direct some of that righteousness against abusive husbands and boyfriends, huh?

    “In God We Trust”. Everyone’s fighting for the U.S. dollar. Don’t they see that written on the U.S. currency? “In God We Trust”. What does God say about gay rights? What does God call gay acts? There are lots of sins in the Book (Word) of God, but very few are singled out as abominations.

      All those who promote this so-called gay sex will one day see their error. They will experience their downfall in time.

    I also heard on a U.S. Catholic Radio that President Obama wants the Caribbean islands to approve of gay rights. The entire world knows what Prime Minister Cameron and President Obama stated.
    The U.S. is the U.S. Great Britain is Great Britain. They are two different countries. The Caribbean islands and the West Indian islands are also different to those so-called superpowers. Each country is a different entity to another with different governments.
    There are some Caribbean islands which belong to the U.S. The West Indian islands do not belong to the U.S.
    West Indian islands should not succumb to the pressure of Cameron and Obama. They do not govern and own the islands. They are not their bosses. They have no right to interfere and to dictate to them. They should stay out of the internal business of the West Indian islands.
    Woe to governments who legislate this abomination. May the West Indian islands governments never make that grave, ungodly mistake of approving gay rights.
    You will also end up with a so-called gay pride parade on your streets and on a Sunday at that, The Lord’s Day, a Holy Day of Obligation when all Christians should be attending Church and spending time with their family of all.
    The government will have to recognize the other partner and grant them same spousal benefits, pension, etc.
    They will expect the Christian Churches to marry them. If they refuse, they will be sued. The government will also have to approve civil marriages for them. Then they will also demand that they adopt children. Thinking of that makes my blood boil. However, this is another reason for they wanting their so-called gay rights. It is not so much for employment and housing purposes which they already have. These people have an ulterior motive. Satan is present 100 percent with them and is in the offing spurring them on.
    In addition, if such a law is passed, one thing will lead to another. Nationals who disapprove of it will not be able to speak against it in public. They will not be able to write an article in the newspaper or on a Website or write a book about their views. Their freedom of speech will be taken away. They could be charged and hauled to Court and even be imprisoned.
    The schools will be forced to teach about homosexual practices, gay rights, that it is OK to be gay and to have two daddies and two lesbian mammies. Oh my!
    Approving gay rights is dangerous and destructive for the islands, the world in general. Sadly some governments that approve of it are blinded and are living in darkness that they cannot see the light.
    The overall homosexual practice and demands without a doubt are truly intrinsically evil. This is the last thing a Christian country, government and nationals should want to legalize in their country.
    If they wish to practice their sinfulness behind closed doors, it is their life. They are answerable to God but to bring it out into the public arena and want and expect approval of it, IT IS WRONG AND SHOULD NOT BE GRANTED.
    Life is not a one-way street. They should not be allowed to force their abnormal lifestyle on the rest of the population who have rights too and their rights should be recognized.
    We must consider the children in general. What message and education would they be receiving from this? I leave this up to your imagination and conclusion.
    Ever since governments of those other countries legislated this so-called gay rights and same sex marriage, those people keep demanding more and more.
    As there is a God above, who created the world, our Maker and Ruler of the world, who knows sees and hears all things and whom nothing is hidden from, may those governments in the islands pay heed.
    Ignore what Cameron and Obama stated; pay no attention to them. Whether it is the UN, EU or Human Rights Watch, whatever form of organization, those people are not sincere. They, themselves are not living godly lives. Therefore, they are forcing their ungodliness upon the world, namely the islands and will bring them down with them. This is where they are heading to.
    Please pay heed. Otherwise, in the long run, those governments will pay the price to no other but God Himself who abhors this evil practice which highly offends Him and will oppress His people. Their rights will also be forfeited.
    I reiterate that homosexuality is dangerous and destructive to a society. The world will benefit as always from heterosexual couples who are able to pro-create children, having a mother and a father.
    What good is homosexuality to our society? How will society benefit from them and their abnormal practice? To begin with they cannot have babies. This should indicate to every sensible person, government and all, that this is an abnormal practice and should never be legislated.
    For those who think that it has nothing to do with God, you are deceiving yourself. God is very much involved and disapproves of it, for He is God, our fair and just Judge.

      How is the approval of gay rights dangerous for anybody? What about the gay ‘demands’ – other than to be treated equally (which all minorities have done since we can ever remember)

    Are gays been abused in Dominica? If so I am not aware. What Mr. Obama must concern himself with while he is on the moral issue, is the civil writes of prostitutes. Prostitutes are been constantly harassed in the US. It would appear that the US and the likes of Cameron want to be selective in what civil rights are important. Dominica and the other countries which are the target of aid reduction, must be carefull in creating any law that would bestow special rights to any particular group of persons, based on sexual orientation. We must remind Obama and others that the human rights which they talk about is already protected by the costitution. Free speach is protected by the constitution, does that mean that we must wholeheartedly accept whatever is said? I believe that homosexuality is an unatural act, certainly some may disagree.

    What Obama and company is trying to do is to stifle free speech as far as critism of gays are concerned.. so much for civil rights and free speech.

    yet our rights as human beings are trampled on here in Dominica. persons are calling our employers to have us fired because we are homos, we are dicriminated against at the hopital, at bars, stores, hotels and other business places. we are not asking for special rights, just to be respected and be able to access all that is accessable in our own country.

      This is a big mistake which they make and in this era. It upsets people to know about it. Furthermore, it is abnormal and do not expect others, i.e., the entire population, to approve and condone your homosexual practice. This is what people as you must comprehend.

WE are the image of GOD and GOD loves all his people especially those with Clean hands and a CLEAN mind.

    Given the choice do you really think anyone in their right mind would want to be GAY ???

    GAYs have always existed and will in the future. I do feel sorry for those who lack the knowledge and can only see the answer in the Bible. If your child say “Daddy/mummy I am GAY” WHAT WOULD BE YOU RESPONSE.

      …Therefore, you are insinuating that God is pleased with two men having sex and also two women having sex to the point of getting married. You have a severe mental problem to assume so. Get with it and utilize your common sense if you have any.
      The Holy Bible has addressed homosexuality and is against this practice. St. Paul wrote of it. This means it is an evil practice and is of the devil. It can be reversed. Some have reversed this tendency and conduct normal lives. However, they need help in order to assist them change their lifestyle.

    Some Non-Religious Reasons To Support Man/Woman Marriage.

    1 The essential public purpose of marriage is to attach mothers and fathers to their children and to one other.
    2 Man/woman marriage allows children to Know and be known by their biological parents.Same sex marriage separates children at lease one parent.
    3 Man/woman marriage sets the foundation for children to have the same biological,legal care-giving parents.Same sex marriage separates these functions among different people.
    4 Man woman marriage provides children with access to their genetic,cultural and social heritage.

    5 Even though it is not always possible,children have the best life chances when they are raised by their biological married parents

    • My2Sense

      I cannot dispute your first point because I honestly do not know what the “public purpose” of marriage is.

      Your second and third points are the same. Also, the situations you describe pertain to cases of adoption as well as same-sex marriages.

      “Access to their genetic, cultural and social heritage”…?

      Your fifth point is pure conjecture and hasn’t been proven. Or maybe it has, and I haven’t seen that conclusions of those trials.

      The facts does not support your claim. Less people getting married, divorces are on the increase. Great number of children are father-less (just disappeared of claim the child is not theirs). Children are just as happy if not more in same sex relationship because they are more committed (given the harsh reality of their situation). Children are more aware and have access to the same opportunities.

        This does not justify homosexual practices. God created man and woman. If it was his intentions that two men would enter into are sexual relationship, he would create men only and no mention would be made of this abomination in Holy Scripture. Holy Scripture is the Word of God. If we fail to practice it woe to us.
        The fact that it is also in Holy Scriptures, you should know that it is wrong and unacceptable. Period!

    I am not even going to debate the right and wrong side of this and laws of nature since it’s all open to interpretation, belief and values. Having said that is it me or is Obama just desperate and lacking foresight of ALL issues he feels to comment on i.e. AIDS epidemic in Africa, Famine in Africa, water shortages, so many natural disasters, the mega hole in California, the fact the Katrina victims are still living outdoors, the UNEMPLOYMENT crisis in the very DC area he lives, the starving children of kansas and Missouri that he finds himself pushing a Gay agenda with no happiness to it?

    I would tell Obama take his aid and shove it, first the british clown now him? Obama is trying to appease jews. This gay thing is their way of life and they want to impose that lifestyle on people. Obama has yet to talk about the ills of slavery and the open ended neglect of blacks in the US but he wants to tell independent nations how to deal with gays? Maybe he is a closet gay why this topic brings him so much comfort lately.

      @ Malthus

      It would be a good idea for all those in the Caribbean/West Indies who oppose this abomination and what Prime Minister Cameron and President Obama stated, they should write them but respectfully, outlining the reasons and how intrinsically evil homosexual practices are and God’s repercussion for those who legislate it, approve it, applaud it and condone it. Those politicians are living in ignorance and of the faith. What will they not do to get votes.
      Are you aware that after President Obama was inaugurated, he held a dinner for the gays at the White House, as reported on also CNN. Obviously, they voted for him and want pay-back. He wants their votes for the next election. This is selling one’s soul to the devil. God is good and patient!

    How many of us have considered that maybe some men and women are born gay?

    Think back… I’m sure many of us can remember this one boy or girl in school who was always “different”. He or she just might have been gay, but do you think it was their choice to be that way?

    If they were born that way, aren’t they still God’s children? Aren’t they in God’s image?

    Now if they were born that way, should we persecute and discriminate against them for something they have no control over?

    Ask yourselves these questions and you should realize that some gay people may be no different than people who are born black, or with debilitating diseases and sicknesses, etc.

It’s all well and good to say how we born but we were also born with a conscience to know right from wrong. Now just as the system is set up from illegal drugs because it in some way trying to protect us from ourselves, so to i believe laws against homosexuality should remain to protect our children. People will use all sorts of excuse even say they found it in the bible but the same bible says respect the laws of the land. Therefore why are these big countries trying to force their laws on us? People may say oh so many other things that are wrong why is gay acts they choose to criminalize. I say ganja is a criminal offense to while rum is legal, again law of the land.

But he made eve and gave her to Adam because that is the way he intended it and wants it.

    Actually, thinking about it, i don’t think the problem is about ‘gays’. The term ‘effeminate men’ would be better. i understand how a man who is effiminate would be turned down from jumping on a refugee boat to escape Libya or Egypt. Because even if a man thinks he is a woman even he too has right to safety. But that too needs to be explained instead of just putting ban on people like that. After all.

    Jude 7, “…Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion.”

    Leviticus 18:22, “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.”

    Romans 1:26-27: “For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense [sic] of their error which was meet.

    Matthew 19:4-5:”…at the beginning, the Creator ‘made them male and female’ and said ‘For this reason man will leave his father and mother, and be united with his wife; and the two will become one flesh.'”

    By the way, why is it that 3 out of 5 songs talk about who** and b****, especially, especially, especially in the US and women aren’t fighting against this, yet if you call a gay bul*** or battim** the government has to legislate against it?

    This discussion could be interesting if you got rid of the religious – god freak mumbo jumbo. Most of your belief systems are collected myths but they have been handed down so well that you mental slaves just repeat what you have been taught.

    http://pocm.info/ – just for a little reading for those of you who even have a passing interest in challenging your brains.

    a few points that pop out.

    most dominicans hurry to send their children abroad to study and live. many advise them never to return. WHere do they send them to ? The same US and UK. The buller nations so to speak.

    strangely enough, living for years upon years in societies which are tolerant of people who do things we dont necessarily agree with hasnt changed our children and us into bullers and zamiyez.

    Next point

    It is almost laughable that the countries which are tolerant of gays and other human rights are generally the best countries to live in the world. Meanwhile Dominica has like minded bredrin in Nigeria, Iran, and most of the African countries which are generally the last places any of us would actually want to live in.

    The most tolerant Caribbean country STRANGELY happens to be the country which has the highest living standard and is the best place to live in the Caribbean from a GDP and living standard point of view. Barbados.

    The point is that the most backward countries in the world live by dogma and the bible and koran bs which has kept many countries in the dark ages. ANd please dont come talking about Bible passages in my head. Most of you cannot even contemplate a reasoning for what you believe in other than repeating lines.

    Next point

    Respecting our public decency laws is fine and gays have to do that. But how do you punish someone for being what they are ? That is a fundamental no-no. I mean seriously. Many of you have gay friends, gay employers, and even gay bf, gf and husbands and wives ! Some of these people have hid for years and the rest of them we know who they are. They cannot convert those of us who have a different sexuality. They just are what they are. I prefer live in a society where people can truly be who they are rather than dealing with a set of people who are living double lives. its not productive.

    Now from a personal point of view maybe homosexual people have brought this on themselves by demanding a higher profile. I know for sure that if there was a referendum in Dominica people would reject any attempt to change our laws. Maybe thats the fair thing to do.

    In the end though what strikes me is the ultimate hypocrisy even of those two faced dominicans who live in the US and UK and who couldnt spend a year in this country but will spend a lifetime in these countries who they claim are full of nastiness.

    There are more important things than this to deal with in Dominica but topics like this show the problem with what is left of dominica. People could as well be half naked and jumping round a broom chanting kill the bullers because the book says so.

    I’ve had the opportunity to work with many homosexuals and they are some of the strongest and brightest. And many of the things we all enjoy today are as a result of their talents. Talents they were blessed with.

    It you were to lend a ear to some of the changes these people face you would have some sympathy.

    It’s all politics – an election year in America. It’s only about countries where they brutalize, percecute and imprison gays (like Kenya), not places like Dominica. Hilary Clinton said that clearly. However, Dominica does no such thing. Gays are free to hide and do whatever they do in Dominica, if caught the law is never enforced(it’s against our morals like incest and pedophillia). So that qualifies D’a for US aid.

    Now tell us this, how much money has the US contributed to Dominica’s development in the past 5 years? The answer is less than a third of what Venezuela and China has contributed to our development. Let them keep their immorality.

    The only time we need the little that they contribute is in time of disaster. However, lately Venezuela gets here before them.

    China is eager willing and waiting to take over as THE major contributor to our develepment. So it’s a no-brainer, do we want more Chinese Dominicans which is inevitable anyway, just like Jamaica has had for many many years, or do we want more AIDS and immorality in our population.

So why is it when it comes to ‘gays’ we are described as haters and their seem special rules?

        A pregnant, un-wed young woman should not be compared with a gay man or woman in this situation. Gay individuals argue that they are born that way. However, the young un-wed woman was definitely born a virgin.

        My point is that gay is who they are, not what they do or choose. So if to be gay is to have sex with the same sex, then by “hating the sin”, as you’ve said, you’re essentially condemning gay people or discriminating against them because of who they are

      Actually, the New Testament is all about Romans 1:24-28, 1 Corinthians 6:9,10, 1 Timothy 1:9,10, Jude vs. 7, and Revelation 21:8.

      You should read the New Testament before you even comment upon it.

      We are all sinners. (Romans 3:10,24.)

      God has commanded us all to repent. (Be sorry enough for our sins to turn from them.) Acts 17:30)

      God loves the sinner but He hates the sin.

      God is a God of love so He provided for our salvation by giving His Son to die for us. He raise Him from the dead to show that He accepted the sacrifice of His death as the payment in full for our sins. (Romans 5:6,8,)( 1 Corinthians 15:1-3.)

      If we believe in Christ (John 3:16), and receive Him as our Savior (Revelation 3:20) His shed blood will wash our sins away (1 John 1:7) and give us the forgiveness of sins (Ephesians 1:7.)

      If we reject Christ and continue in our sins we will be lost for ever. (Revelation 21:8)

      This is because –

      GOD IS NOT ONLY A GOD OF LOVE. HE IS A GOD OF JUSTICE.

    This is an opportunity for the Dominican populace and government to think about becoming self-sufficient. Most of the places that are offering aid and loans to our country support gay rights and do not want to continue giving money to countries that discriminate against people. If we do not want to reconsider our laws, then we must come up with another strategy for survival.

    All able bodied straight men and women must begin working the land, using our natural resources, get involved in animal husbandry, develop what God has given to us so we can build our country.

    When we are totally able to support ourselves, then we won’t need any help from those countries. We won’t need barrels being sent to us by relatives who live in countries that support gay rights. We won’t need clothes, food, building materials, cars,medicine, scholarships, nothing made in those countries either.

    We will hold on to our narrow minded way of thinking and show them that we can make it without their aid and loans. We won’t even travel to their countries because we won’t want to be contaminated. Guess what, just thinking about breathing the same air might turn us gay, and everyone knows that we cannot have that happen.

    Claiming to love God does not mean you have to disobey His word.God said sodomy is an abomination.And saying is is evil does not mean you hate anyone.

      When some of us think of gay rights, we automatically think that gays are asking for preferential treatment, but all they really want is for society to stop discriminating against them and to treat them just like everyone else.

It does, beacuse my son and daughter have to be raised in this same society and may end up thinking it’s normal. Hey i don’t mind having to dis-own my kids if they were to come home to me saying that they with a same sex. Call me foolish, wicked or what ever the hell you want i would care less.

So many men have anal sex with their women with is consensual. Who gives anyone the right to tell anyone else who he or she must love? This gay life is real and has normal human emotions like heterosexuals. It is practiced among persons of all walks of life: most in the closet. We will create an unhappy and unproductive society of people in an under cover world. We cannot stop it: The party is over and we do not even know it. Follow the French motto: “EQUALITY, LIBERTY & FRATERNITY”. LOVE & RESPECT. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but do not stretch the joke with your ignorant level of intolerance.

We all have to live together despite our differences, and to respect our rights we can’t just outlaw things we don’t like.

      Call a spade, a spade. Homosexuality is wrong and intrinsically evil. It should be banned from the face of the earth. People have a right to stand up and speak out and write against this abomination. Homosexuality is an ill-wind that blows nobody any good. It does nothing good for the world but will lead it to Satan’s cauldron of everlasting fire if any government and national approves of it and legislates it. This is what we must inform the government about in no uncertain terms. Tell them like it is. They have no right to push this evil down our throats and force us to love this time of abnormal lifestyle and not object about those who practice it.
      If they want to be rubbing shoulders with Satan on that inevitable day, go ahead. This is where the other governments who legislate it and who want us who disapprove of it to comply with their sinfulness. Homosexuality is sinfulness and nastiness.
      Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “Love the sinner but hate the sin.” God is taking note of all our words and deeds and will mete out His just recompense to each one as they deserve. For me, I will never, ever approve of it, thanks be to God. If you have any sense in your head you will do likewise.

I wonder is there anything else, any other group of people who outrages you so much, who you think are so evil, as gays and lesbians? Considering all the real evil in the world, all the real pain and suffering, your comments seem all out of proportion and focus. I fully understand gays and lesbians wanting not to have to fear that they might be harassed by police or thrown in jail just because of who they fall in love with. I don’t understand people who don’t like gays and lesbians wasting so much of their time on not liking gays and lesbians instead of just ignoring them. I want the police to catch armed robbers because that’s a real threat to lives. I don’t want them wasting their time catching kissing men because it’s icky.

      Dominica is not a theocracy. The Constitution protects freedom of conscience. People can choose in their own lives to follow the Bible, to go to a church or not, but government and laws are just made by people to serve our needs and protect our rights regardless of our faith. If church and state are not separated, then all you’re doing is imposing the majority’s church on everyone else’s, and pretending that man-made laws and government institutions are divine which would put them beyond criticism. I’m sure every elected official would like to claim that his authority and acts are God-given, but that’s obviously a dangerous attitude. And we don’t want government telling us what is holy or what is sinful because that then dictates with the force of law what should be a matter of faith for individuals and churches to decide. And it makes people do things just to keep from going to jail rather than because they actually believe in it, which undermines true religious devotion. Separating church and state therefore protects the integrity of both religion and government.

Those right wing, fascist northern American churches who go about spreading the hate,are the same who used the bible to spread hatred and prejudice against black people.The mormon religion never thought black people could go to heaven,as they htough black people were ub-human, the catholic church just thought black people were good to be slaves,and everything black was demonish,the rest took their lead from the catholic church.So while so called religious people condemn homosexuality, they break every other commandment of the bible including cruelty to children.

      However, yes, God loves every one. He could not be God otherwise. However, you have the rest all wrong. He detests sin and homosexuality is no exception in the eyes of God. Comprehend this and get it straight that it is an abomination to the Lord; intrinsically evil and warrants eternal punishment and punishment.

    Those of us who want to use the Bible and “morals” as an excuse to discriminate against homosexuals should also discriminate against adulterers, thieves, murders, child molesters, fornicators, etc.

    Gay men and women are people too! Do we really want to hate them the way white supremacists hate black people? Do we want the same kinda violence, segregation, and hatred to persist for generations?

        A person cannot be defined by their sexuality.

        The only objection to human rights for gays is religion. Because on a normal human level, if any of you move around with someone and you dont know what they do in their bedroom, you will judge that person solely on their character and their deeds.

        To think that if they practise their sexuality they going burn in hellfire is a joke, but whats funnier is that you believe it.

How can you justify that law, but not any number of any laws affecting conduct many people find immoral or sinful? Why not put adulterers and fornicators in jail too? If a majority thinks smoking or drinking is immoral, then why not criminalize that too? In other words, forget about rights and make the government the moral watchdog.

    One world government, there is only one force ruling this world and its EVIL.We have to pray and be strong in the face of this evil that has enveloped. I will not say, like some pple ‘I dont understand and cannot explain homosexuality…’ In God’s books its WRONG!!!! :(

      It’s not one of the Ten Commandments, and Jesus never said a word about it. It’s prohibited in Leviticus in the Old Testament, but so are a lot of things that people today have no interest in following. No one is saying people should be required to set aside part of their farm crops for the poor, yet that’s in God’s book. Leviticus 19:10. No one is saying tattoos should be prohibited, yet that’s in God’s book. Leviticus 19:28. No one is saying adulterers should be stoned, yet that’s in God’s book. Leviticus 20:10. No one is calling for people who do work on Sunday to be stoned, yet that’s in God’s book. Numbers 15:32-36. People pick and choose what they want from the Bible. They are afraid of and disgusted by homosexuals and go “aha! see, it says so in the bible!” but then they ignore the verses before and after.

        The old covernant is obsolete; The new one is where he gave his Son to die for our sins. The message is he loves everyone but we have to be obedient and accept his words and to reject sin. So we all know what is sin, it is this unrigtheousness which is not liked. No longer does the High priest and others have to offer animal sacrifices for their sins and the sins of the people. The message of the New covenant is to love one another and pray for one another so infact although the Gays and Lesbians are not doing what is right, we still have to tell them the message so when they hear the words – They should not harden their hearts. Each man has to stand and answer for themselves on the day of Judgement.

        Those who know better, have tofall on their knees and confess the sins of the Nation. The remnants have to intercede on behalf of the Nation. Those who have ears let them hear but it is not our duty to hate anyone but we have to stay clear of ugliness and bring forth the message. Those who heed will inherit eternal life and those who do not, The Great I and I will deal as he knows everything. Who knows he problably will have one of those persons repent at the 11th hour. Remember the story of Rahab in the Old Testament. Whatever is done, He already knows who is his chosen ones and whatever is done will be for his Glory and Honour.

        On another note, what is happenning in the World all around was already prophesised in the Bible. There is nothing one can do to stop the happennings. What each and everyone needs to do is to prepare to meet our Maker and spread the good news in season and out of season. Preach the word to those who are ignorant, doing what is not correct etc so we can have much more revival.

        “The Old Covenant is obsolete.”

        Oh, I see. So the 10 Commandments, which are in the Old Testament, no longer matter. Moreover, the old law to kill homosexuals–also in the Old Testament–no longer matters.

        Then what the bloody hell is your problem with homosexuals, you psycho hypocrite?

      • Man in Dominica
        December 7, 2011

        @???????????: That’s one way of dealing with that problem: say that the Old Testament no longer applies. But if “the old covenant is obsolete,” then so is the prohibition on homosexuality in Leviticus (which is, of course, a book in the Old Testament). So where in the New Testament then makes clear that it’s sinful? Jesus never said a word about it. Which verse says lesbians are committing sin?

        @ Man in Dominica

        Do you really know what is contained in the entire Holy Bible? Check the writings of St. Paul in the New Testament, as inspired by the Holy Spirit. You will find it there and what St. Paul said about, “practicing homosexuals.” There are approximately 3 references about this abomination.

      • Man in Dominica
        December 8, 2011

        Paul isn’t much of a moral authority in my view–he also said we shouldn’t let women teach or have authority over men and that we should kill witches (never mind that witchcraft is fiction, but anyway…). I expect you’ll write me off as a bad person for not believing Paul spoke for God just because the early Church stuck his epistles in the Biblical canon it voted to approve.

        Strange that Jesus was silent on the matter if it’s such a horrendous sin, eh? Of all the things to be concerned with in the world, whether other people are gay should be pretty far down on the list. Or do you think Paul had better moral priorities than Jesus? Jesus spent a lot of time preaching against greed and in support of charity for the poi and helpless. Do you focus on those issues anywhere near the amount you focus on homosexuality?

    I have commented on this issue before and I will comment again. You cannot tell someone who to bring into their life, whether a man brings a woman or a man and whether a woman brings a man or a woman. We have what is called freedom of choice. Dominica is a religious country; yes but why not make things like adultery illegal under the law. Some of you who are reading this right now and are against gay and lesbian but maybe you are committing adultery, why not make it illegal. Would you like that? Do gay and lesbian people frighten you?
    You all have to remember that Dominica is not self-sustainable, we are independent yes but we still need the foreign aid. Do not think that Dominica survives on its own money and its own assets. Some of what we have are donations, some are gifts and some we take a huge loan to purchase it. These big nations like the US and China, England etc support the right of gay and lesbian people. Sorry to say, but the law of Dominica must bend and banish its stance on homosexuality, it may not happen next year, but as I said before. IT MUST HAPPEN! The pressure will increase from the bigger countries. If you all do not want the foreign aid in any form what so ever. Just go back to the dark ages and you will not need any aid.
    PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE A FREEDOM OF CHOICE AND SHOULD BE ABLE AND FREELY LOVE WHOMEVER THEY WANT TO. YOU CANNOT CHANGE WHAT IS TO BE AND WHAT IS TO BE WILL BE.
    READ CAREFULLY. THANK YOU.

      Eggleston,

      While you are asking some questions, let me ask you some.

      Were you born of two fathers or two mothers?

      Is it legal or acceptable for a person to have two spouses?

      Is it legal or acceptable for a person to have marital and sexual relations with their parents?

      Is it legal or acceptable for a person to have marital or sexual relations with their siblings?

      Based on your argument, there are people out there in society that wants these things, should we also deny them these, seeing it is their freedom of choice?

      What happens next when a man comes and say that his goat loves him and he wants to marry it? Would that be the time when you would want to pass legislation to define what marriage is or should be?

      Some people say that gays were born this way, having attraction to the same sex, but when it comes to pedophiles we don’t care which or what way they were born, we persecute them to the fullest extent of the law that you are now trying to make irrelevant.

      Like someone else stated, we do not have to understand or accept what being homosexual is all about, what we do know is that it goes contrary to the laws of nature and existance of society and GOD forbids it as an abomination.

        @A Voice: You trivialize really dangerous conduct by grouping them with homosexuality. By saying tolerating one leads to the other, you’re saying that you can’t think of any ways in which pedophilia, for example, causes more harmful than homosexuality. If you can’t figure out why an adult abusing a child is worse than anything two adults can consent to do with one another in private, then this really isn’t something you can credibly speak about.

      • A Voice

        C’mon Man in Dominica,

        There is no way that I was trying to trivialize child abuse.

        All I was saying is that the same excuse the gay can use that, ‘they were born this way’, is the same excuse that a pedophile could use too.

        That does not mean that I am condoning or tolerating one because of the other. They are both sick acts that goes contrary to nature.

        I hope that you in turn is not trying to lessen the fact that homosexualiy can be very dangerous and harmful to the welfare of a child as well.

        It seems u and other like u are missing one serious point and this may be due to the lack of study of Biology – the study of the X and Y Chromosones, part of your genes. Homosexuality is NOT a choice, but an error which occurred during the reproductive process, which explains the reason some look and act like a female but have a Male Reproductive organ/tool. This happens in the Plant and Animal Kingdom as well. GOD is not the reason, neither the solution for GOD all his people. MAN and his rules are the problem, because they set these rules to suit them and keep others in check.

        Your bible is full of verses explicitly ordering you to kill people for adultery, to kill women who are not virgins when married, to kill disobedient children, to kill homosexuals, etc. God moreover explicitly orders the absolute destruction of entire races of people, and men like Samson are described as murdering over 30,000 persons in the name of god.

        So shut the hell up with your BS lies about the bible.

      Whatever you do, keep it behind closed doors. This is where it belongs. However, be aware that the eyes of Our Lord Jesus Christ are upon you wherever you may be. He is taking note for your eternal judgment. You cannot escape our God. He never created homosexuals or lesbians. He created babies who grew up to adulthood. As they grew up, they refused to pay Him homage and so He handed them to Satan which is where you are at, at this moment.

Person are attacked every day on the street. Not because you are not hearing it making the headline news on DBS Or here on DNO doesn’t mean that gay people here in Dominica is save.

      We need to be free.. We need to walk the streets and person respect us for who we are. Many a times we have to cover up, force to fall in love with woman at the expense of society and our so call “religious beliefs”.

      To many women and children is being hurt or neglected because that’s the direction society wants us to go. Not taking into consideration out own feelings.

      If your son wake up gay tomorrow,i pray that that child will grow up in a Country where he is free to make he own decisions and not live un happy because his mother is to ignorant to the fact that there are persons of different sexual orientation in this country, world by extension.
