    Obama just gave a lip service to the gay community and everyone who is sympathetic to them for political points. This shit is just junk for the political thread.

    • He went on ABC and said what everyone else thinks anyway so everyone pats him on the back like a big champion of human rights. its bullshit and the sheep are eating.uuuuuu
    • ...rights. Its bullshit and the sheep eat it.uuuuuu

    What I found really interesting is how all this stuff ends up on Facebook (where I heard about all this in the first place) and how they can manipulate the sheep with all this...

    uuuuu: "What everyone else thinks anyway"

    Just over 50% of people in the US believe gays should be able to get married. That's hardly "everyone".

    He came out to make a statement because he felt obligated to because of Biden's statement days prior.

    • everyone in his demographic market. Why not say it somewhere it matters instead of primetime audiences.uuuuuu
    • "Obama just gave a lip service to the gay community and everyone who is sympathetic to them for political points."uuuuuu
    • So if he gave it to his base, then what difference is it going to make anyway come election time?CanHasQBN
    • in other words he said it for everyone who agrees with it not because he means it or is going to do somethinguuuuuu
    • Do you think gays were lining up to vote for Mitt before this?CanHasQBN
    • Its empty rhetoric. Gayness is just a political button the polticians and media are pushing. They don't consider it a real issue.uuuuuu
    • ....a real issue.uuuuuu
    • you know what kool aid is?uuuuuu
    • it isn't a real issue. But he felt obligated to make a statement.CanHasQBN
    • Even to Obama it's probably a non issue. It's the media and society that blows it up to give it a false sense of importance.CanHasQBN
    • kind of important to people that are gay though.doesnotexist
    • relative to the other problems in this world? Economy's crashing? Environment?CanHasQBN
    • Gay rights are important, but they will inevitably come to be available through natural progress.CanHasQBN
    • It's a slow fight, like every social issue and doesn't require the immediate urgency like the global economy does.CanHasQBN

    Civil Unions should be open to all... people act like if what goes in a civil union is rewriting the textx of their personal bullshit religion.

    Goddammit, Iranians aren't savages, they just live by different sets of rules. ffs fifty years ago, homosexuality was still a crime in most of the now modern countries.
    Everyone can pretends it's all kumbaya and peace and love in the world, but we do not leave in an utopia were everyone is accepted and loved because of his sexuality, skin color or even geographical vaginal expulsion. No we wage wars for the most futile of reasons.
    look at the fuckn numbers, we should be against death penalty worldwide, not just when it includes gays.
    Can we stop cherry picking our outrages.

  • zoozoo0

    i dunno it's just annoyingly creepy man, it's like the beginnings of a pattern that may include some shit coming out of your mouth like telling a father "I will rape your daughter in front of your face and then kill you both." type of dialogue.

    What does the Koran say about gayness?

    "We also sent Lut: He said to his people: Do ye commit lewdness such as no people in creation (ever) committed before you? For ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds. And his people gave no answer but this: they said, "Drive them out of your city: these are indeed men who want to be clean and pure!"" (Qur'an 7:80-82)

    "Of all the creatures in the world, will ye approach males, And leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your mates? Nay, ye are a people transgressing (all limits)! They said: "If thou desist not, O Lut! thou wilt assuredly be cast out!" He said: "I do detest your doings:" "O my Lord! deliver me and my family from such things as they do!" So We delivered him and his family,- all Except an old woman who lingered behind. But the rest We destroyed utterly. We rained down on them a shower (of brimstone): and evil was the shower on those who were admonished (but heeded not)! Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe. And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful." (Qur'an 26:165-175)

    "Would ye really approach men in your lusts rather than women? Nay, ye are a people (grossly) ignorant! But his people gave no other answer but this: They said, "Drive out the followers of Lut from your city: these are indeed men who want to be clean and pure!" But We saved him and his family, except his wife; her We destined to be of those who lagged behind. And We rained down on them a shower (of brimstone): and evil was the shower on those who were admonished (but heeded not)!" (Qur'an 27:55-58)

    "And (remember) Lut: behold, he said to his people: "Ye do commit lewdness, such as no people in Creation (ever) committed before you. Do ye indeed approach men, and cut off the highway? - and practise wickedness (even) in your councils?" But his people gave no answer but this: they said: "Bring us the Wrath of Allah if thou tellest the truth." (Qur'an 29:28-29)

    "If any of your women are guilty of lewdness, Take the evidence of four (Reliable) witnesses from amongst you against them; and if they testify, confine them to houses until death do claim them, or Allah ordain for them some (other) way. If two men among you are guilty of lewdness, punish them both. If they repent and amend, Leave them alone; for Allah is Oft-returning, Most Merciful." (Qur'an 4:15-16)

    While there is a consensus that same-sex intercourse is in violation of Islamic law, there are differences of opinion within Islamic scholarship about punishment, reformation, and what standards of proof are required before physical punishment becomes lawful.

    In Sunni Islam there are eight madhhabs, or legal schools, of which only four still exist: Hanafi, Shafi'i, Hanbali, Maliki. The main Shia school is called Ja'fari, but there are Zaidi and Ismai'ili also. More recently, some groups have rejected this tradition in favor of greater ijtihad, or individual interpretation. Of these schools, according to Michael Mumisa of the Birmingham-based Al Mahdi institute:

    The Hanafi school does not consider same-sex intercourse to constitute adultery, and therefore leaves punishment up to the judge's discretion. Most early scholars of this school specifically ruled out the death penalty, others allow it for a second offence.
    Imam Shafi'i considers same-sex intercourse as analogous to other zina; thus, a married person found to have done so is punished as an adulterer (by stoning to death), and an unmarried one, as a fornicator, is left to be flogged.
    The Maliki school says that anyone (married or unmarried) found to have committed same-sex intercourse should be punished as an adulterer.
    Within the Ja'fari schools, Sayyid al-Khoi says that anyone (married or unmarried) found to have committed same-sex intercourse should be punished as an adulterer.
    It should also be noted that the punishment for adultery requires four witnesses; by analogy, all schools, require four witnesses to the physical act of penetration for the punishment to be applied.But if otherwise any other proof is found through modern methods such as DNA testing or so the punishment can be implimented.

    According to the modern Islamic scholar Yusuf al-Qaradawi's summary:

    "The jurists of Islam have held different opinions concerning the punishment for this abominable practice. Should it be the same as the punishment for zina, or should both the active and passive participants be put to death? While such punishments may seem cruel, they have been suggested to maintain the purity of the Islamic society and to keep it clean of perverted elements." [2]
