Piss on the faggot’s grave. That is proper recognition for his life of being gay!

Well I just got to say, way to half ass present a topic.

I read all of it.

About your selected comments, totally unrepresentative of the comments on the story. Yes, it was overwhelmingly supportive of the Churches decision, but only one was blatantly disrespectful (you have it here) and there were a couple of others that were bad form. It is never our place to judge if someone is going to hell, and homosexuality is no worse off than other sins. And in Christianity's view, it is a sin. That isn't debatable, and that's what we go by in a church.

That being siad. They didn't refuse to bury him because he was gay. Everyone is a sinner and being sinless isn't a requirement of getting a church funeral.

This is 100% the family's fault. The didn't tell the church he was married.

A spouse in a funeral gets a little different treatment than the rest of the crowd.

You can't demand a church acknowledge your gay marriage.

So you would have had a funeral where the spouse either had to be ignored, or force a church to do something it will not do.

Had they not hid the fact that he was married, it wouldn't have been an issue, instead they hid it, and the proper thing was done.

The fact that the mother instead of the spouse handled things is all the proof of deception one needs.


By and large those making comments were respectful.

The family was not respectful to the church.

Why?

Because I point out that to demonize this church OP had to change the nature of the events?

Change the nature of the events? lol he wrote two sentences:

A conservative posted this gem in the thread titled "Family says Tampa church canceled funeral because son was gay."

Please explain to everyone how that is "changing the nature of events". Also, all you would have to do to figure out that the church is full of child rapists, and all manner of other seriously sick fucks, would be to just look in a fucking newspaper.

OP made two claims,
That the funeral was canceled because son was gay. And that Christians were saying hateful things.

He supplied a sample comment.

The only problem is that that was the ONLY post on the comments section that was hateful.

Dozens of comments, most respectful, he chooses the outlier. That is dishonesty.

As far as why the church canceled, it was because they were mislead by the mother.

The church found out that he was also same sex married. They had a choice, either have the funeral and honor a gay marriage, have the funeral and treat the surviving spouse as a regular person (snub him) by not recognizing the marriage, or cancel.

The family failed to inform the church the dead man was married. That's a fairly material fact, one I can't believe the church didn't ask when the family sought permission for the funeral. Either they lied when asked, or neglected to mention an important detail.

I'm all for gay marriage, I'm not all for forcing everyone else to accept it as equal. That's not something that can be forced.

The church did the right thing. His family shouldn't have lied.

And the comments weren't bad. Just one.

Statement = claim

He said they were bigoted.

I saw no evidence of bigotry in the church's actions. I saw one bigot on the comments. Probably a 16 year old.

Oh it is like a wedding. It’s a formal religious occasion. And to pay respects to a dead queer in a church would be equally as sinful.

Those are statements of fact.

Unless you object to the word queer. But that would be nonsensical since homosexual people often use queer, gay, and many other terms to reference homosexuality.

Conducting a funeral of a gay man in a church is up to the church if they are going to celebrate his life, which would involve his partner.

I wouldn't deny your right to be gay, why do you want to bash Christian's rights to practice their faith in their places of worship.

It's not like he was denied a plot in the public cemetery.

Do you not think a search would reveal vile things said about Bush or other republican politicians?

Do think there are any liberals out there who said vile things about Ronald Reagan when he died a few years back? Or his widow Nancy?

There are dumbass people out there who will use the anonymity of the Internet to say dumb shit. Even some dumb people who don't need an anonymous outlet.

Hell it's even sometimes a false flag.

Limbaugh encouraged Republicans to vote for Clinton in the primaries against Obama.

I think it was Randy Rhodes that encouraged people to go to Tea Party rallies with racist signs and stuff.

This shit happens. It's not representative of the whole.

The right has analogs of you and Buck. The country would be better off without the like of them and you who would rather stir the pot and foment discord than promote dialog and cooperation. That would be true progress.
