POPSThe real threat to "traditional" marriage: heterosexual couples who don't think the way they're supposed to The money quote: "There is a greater expectation that women will work, men will be more involved with their children, and household duties will be more evenly shared... In essence, straight couples are 'queering' heterosexual marriage... If neither partner conforms to his or her 'unique role,' heterosexual marriage starts to look like its same-sex counterpart and illustrates that those 'unique' gendered roles aren't as unique as the bishops claim they are. If in a heterosexual marriage a man can provide nurturing and emotional sensitivity and a woman can provide leadership and effective decision-making skills, could they not bring these traits to a same-sex marriage?"

POPSLouisiana JP: Inter-Racial Marriage "Confusing".
A few more quotes from the article follow.. I find this astounding, especially that Bardwell has been permitted by the state, at taxpayer expense, to continue as a public servant. "Louisiana Justice of the Peace Keith Bardwell has refused to grant a marriage license to an interracial couple over supposed concerns as to the difficulties the couple's future children might face due to their parents' differing ethnicity. "Bardwell says his main concern is that, in his opinion, interracial marriages do not last long. He insists he is not racist*, telling local paper the Hammond Daily Star: "I don't do interracial marriages because I don't want to put children in a situation they didn't bring on themselves... in my heart, I feel the children will later suffer." "According to an AP article, which can be found here, Beth Humphrey phoned Bardwell to inquire about signing their marriage license on Oct. 6, but was told by his wife that Bardwell did not sign interracial marriage licens

POPSMarriage i want to quote from a book I am reading, far detached from news or socilogical studies. " You must grow and change beyond your current ideas that offer only one version of existence" Earth; pleiadian keys to the Livingg Library. This message is attuned to the Individualistic stance of a previous clip. We are different and have different needs. There is a wave of mind control that is attempting to curtail our right and desire to exprress our individualism. This comes from the parties that want just one kind of marriage (the one defined by them), one kind of spirituality, one kind of American, one kind of love to prevail. I am so disgusted about this mind control issues coming from people with cerebral myopia ! Expand your ideas, your mind, read between the lines, analyze national and global trends and events. Specially, listen how politicians talk and always ask yourselves: What is behind that? Why do they want that? How will it work for them? How good

POPSTrue To His Faith
"Is it possible, I asked, that becoming a priest was a way of avoiding coming to terms with his sexuality? Farrow had, after all, once prayed to God to "please make me normal, please make me normal." I asked if he'd had any relationships while serving as a priest. Yes, he confessed. He seemed near tears and stopped short of sharing the details. But he said it had ended. I wondered again how anyone could go through such an ordeal and remain committed to a church that considers it a sin for a gay person to act on biological urges. Whom do you even talk to for help? I asked." "That's a valid question," he said, but he believes he was addressing his spiritual rather than sexual identity in becoming a priest. Among the critics in his own parish and beyond, there are those who quote the Bible to condemn homosexuality and gay marriage. "The Bible is not a book, it's a library written over 15 centuries," Farrow told me, suggesting that Christianity has and should continue to evolve

POPSA Jealous Lover is a Bad Choice - Learn How to Love Right Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.... Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love the greater the jealousy. - Robert Heinlein, American writer (1907-1988) I love that quote. Bill Allin is one of my favorite modern writers. I follow his published works, as they always inspire me, solve a problem, or give inspiration.

POPSImproving U.S. Global HIV Prevention for Youth In March 2005, the Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator (OGAC) issued a policy directive entitled “ABC Guidance #1: For United States Government In-Country Staff and Implementing Partners Applying the ABC Approach to Preventing Sexually-Transmitted HIV Infections Within The President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.” The purpose of the guidance was to clarify the implementation of the Abstinence, Be Faithful, Condoms (ABC) approach within the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) while taking into consideration the abstinence-until-marriage earmark mandated by Congress in the U.S. Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act of 2003. Due to clipmarking restrictions, I could only quote the headlines, which, at least, refer to the informative content.

POPSThings people said:Courtroom quotes Editing meant I could only clip a few, over fifty quotes at the site. Do they still have the 5th Amendment ? Maybe technically. Shows you can get into trouble when you say the first thing that comes into your head. The Legal equivalent of stage fright.
