Hate Crimes and Employment Non-Discrimination Expected to Pass

Now that the U.S. Congress is in a much better state, a state in which it actually serves its citizens, anti-gay hate crimes in addition to emplyment non-discrimination are likely to pass in 2007. A major step forward for fairness for the nation. This would be the first major pro-equality bill in a long while to pass through Congress.

While it isn't certain whether President Bush would sign this legislation there are signs that he may. Stay tuned...

I feel that all people should be
treated equal.If they life in the
principal of christian teaching.
If we do not judge you for who you
really are I believe these are all
the rights you need.Because God
will judge your sick minds.

You are just one of the reasons this legislation should be passed. Thank you for helping to further prove this point.

Anon- just because your church has cowed your mind, does not give you the right to impose your beliefs on others. Just thought you should know.


"If every criminal and inhumane act ever committed were traced to it root cause, that root would be buried deep in religion."

~Sherry Matulis~


"The world holds two classes of men -- intelligent men without religion, and religious men without intelligence."

~Abu'l-Ala-Al-Ma'arri~

"The Christian faith from the beginning, is sacrifice: the sacrifice of all freedom, all pride, all self-confidence of spirit; it is at the same time subjection, a self-derision, and self-mutilation."

~Friedrich Nietzsche~


"The religious persecution of the ages has been done under what was claimed to be the command of God."

~Susan B. Anthony~

""Theocracy" has always been the synonym for a bleak and narrow, if not a fierce and blood-stained, tyranny."

~William Archer~

"I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."

~Mahatma Gandhi~

"There is something feeble and a little contemptible about a man who cannot face the perils of life without the help of comfortable myths. Almost inevitably, some part of him is aware that they are myths, and that he believes them only because they are comforting. But he dares not face this thought! Moreover, since he is aware, however dimly, that his opinions are not rational, he becomes furious when they are disputed."
~Bertrand Russell~

"The Bible and Church have been the greatest stumbling block in the way of women's emancipation."

~Elizabeth Cady Stanton~

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?"

~Epicurus~


"Lighthouses are more helpful then churches."

~Benjamin Franklin~


"Gods always behave like the people who created them."

~Zora Neale Hurston~

"Man is a marvelous curiosity . . . he thinks he is the Creator's pet . . . he even believes the Creator loves him; has a passion for him; sits up nights to admire him; yes and watch over him and keep him out of trouble. He prays to him and thinks He listens. Isn't it a quaint idea."

~Mark Twain~


"Why should I allow that same God to tell me how to raise my kids, who had to drown His own?"

~Robert G. Ingersoll~


"There is so much in the bible against which every instinct of my being rebels, so much so that I regret the necessity which has compelled me to read it through from beginning to end. I do not think that the knowledge I have gained of its history and sources compensates me for the unpleasant details it has forced upon my attention."

~Helen Keller~

"During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What has been its fruits? More or less, in all places, pride and indolence in the clergy; ignorance and servility in the laity; in both, superstition, bigotry, and persecution."

~James Madison~


"The church says the earth is flat, but I know that it is round, for I have seen the shadow on the moon, and I have more faith in a shadow than in the church."

~Magellan~
