Atltanta Eagle raided, police under investigation.
Another story broke a week ago of another gay bar 'raided'. The Atlanta Eagle was raided a few weeks ago and the Atlanta police involved are now under investigation for harassment and unnecessary force. It seems many bar customers were thrown to the ground and treated like animals...even when they were cooperating. One customer was forced to lay on the floor on broken glass.
While these actions were not as bad as those in Texas a few months ago...it's still a sign that the gay community is still a target of discriminatory actions. The reason for the raid? Drugs. The police didn't find what they were looking for...but arrested people just because they felt they could take advantage of the situation. Bartenders were arrested for being in their underwear...stating they were 'strippers'. This was 100% false...as the bar was having a 'theme' night - underwear party.
We need to work together and speak up. This kind of behavior from law enforcement will not be tolerated. It is discriminatory and against the law.
Speaking of underwear...check out these selections from Undergear. Mmmm. Click on a pic to see more...and to order.
Crazy Bible verse and laws. Leviticus 11:7-12
Here is another crazy Bible verse/law. Once again...the people that are hiding behind the Bible and religion to try and discriminate against the gay community...pick and chose what they want to live by. According the Leviticus 11:7-12, they better be watching their diets. The same 'book' you people are using is telling you this:
And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. [...] And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you: [...] Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
What does it mean? It means that you CANNOT eat any of the following: Pork, lobster, shrimp...or ANY shellfish.
There are some religions that adhere to this rule..but we are not talking about the small percentage. We are talking about the large percentage that votes no on gay rights and hides behind the Bible. If they eat any of those meats...they will go to hell.
Kind of crazy, right? If you think so...why not follow that..but condemn gays?
Crazy bible verse and laws. 1 Timothy 2:11-15
It amazes me that there are so many 'Christian' haters out there that are doing EVERYTHING in their power to deny civil rights to gays. They claim that it's 'God' that is speaking through them...it's the Bible that says Homosexuality is a sin. Hmmmm. Well isn't it interesting the things they choose to say are a sin and some they 'overlook'. There are so many rules and sins in the Bible, it's no wonder they only read the passages and sins that go against what they believe.
Here is a passage from the same Bible that they claim says homosexuality is a sin. It's 1 Timothy 2:11-15. Here is the passage:
A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
What does this mean? Simply put it means that women were created second (Eve was created AFTER Adam) and women are to submit to men. Women are not worthy of teaching or having any authority over men.
Crazy huh? This is an actual passage from the Book of Timothy. I'm guessing that all of those people that are hiding behind the Bible to push gay hate...live by this rule. If not...they are total hypocrites.
National Equality March™ is October 10-11, 2009 in DC.
Everyone mark your calendars and plan on being in Washington D.C. October 10-11, 2009. It's the National Equality March on Washington that is planned to make our point that Gays, Lesbians & Transgender citizens are entitled to EQUALITY. The march is not your typical "let's all party and march". This is no party. It's to make a statement and to move a step closer to equality.
The movement is not saying gays just want marriage. It's saying we want equal protection and benefits as stated in the constitution of the United States.
This is your chance to be heard! Spread the word and join the National Equality March! Visit http://equalityacrossamerica.org/blog/?page_id=19 for more information.
