SOUNDBITES — “Because it’s personal. I mean, if you’re homosexual and you’re trying to get married, and you fell madly in love with someone, and then you’ve got Ryan Dobson, Christian right-wing extremist, saying gay marriage is bad for America, then you feel it personally — and then you wanna lash out at someone because you’ve been wounded. It’s similar to how I feel when I think about losing babies through miscarriage and Doctor Tiller. He did something on purpose that I’d die for. I’d love to have another baby. Any of the ones that we lost, I’d give the world to have them back. So it’s personal, you know?” —Ryan Dobson, son of James and whose first marriage ended because of infidelity, on why his views on homosexuality are wrongly considered “hate” (via)

So he managed to say absolutely nothing here, except bringing it back to be all about him, once again.

Ok, so its personal for you Ryan Douchebag, how about filling out an affidavit stating that your will be personally responsible for the financial support of those “lost ones”??? from birth to the time they finish college. I belive the figure is approximately one half million dollars. As long as it affects you so damm personally………….

Any fucker who is anti-abortion and who does not have a minimum of 12 crack babies in his house, needs to STFU.

Ryan Dobson got DIVORCED. How is he going to FOCUS ON THE FAMILY when he couldn’t keep one together? The New Testament has more to say about divorce the role of women, and leprosy than it does on gays.
So who’s OUT OF FOCUS here?
He’s, what, 40? and talks like a teenager? And he’s still not stepping up to the plate to inherit Dad’s riches, ministry, bully pulpit? If he has another agenda, then it’s sure not clear what it’s all, y’know, about and stuff.

Christian conservative are people who hate humanity. Their religion gives them a mask to the world. “I am really full of LOVE! Oh, and there are these bad gay people who are damaging our social fabric!” As gay people are being accepted, it is harder and harder to keep the mask. Eventually, they will give the whole thing up and move on to a new villain. Just like the blacks are evil, the jews are evil, they move on. They are able to move on, because the evil-doers were never evil to begin with. In Loving v. Virginia, they argued the if God wanted blacks and whites to marry, he would have put them on the same continent. Christian conservative were very opposed to interracial marriage. How about today? Fucktards do their damage, and move on.

As weird as it seems, we Gays should be very thankful for the abortion debate. Cause these lunatics have two very favorite targets to spew their vile bile at. Us and abortion. If they didn’t have abortion to scream about we would be their number one target. And while conseratives scream about “big government” infringing on their lives, their wet dream is to infringe on a womans right to choose and a Gays right to basically be Gay……Both of which affect, and or effect them in no way, shape, or form………………

@terrwill: Never thought about the issue in that way, but I think you have a very good point about the abortion debate deflecting away from the hullaballoo on same-sex marriage.
Interesting to note, yet again, that the same crowd who preach against same-sex marriage also preach against sex education in schools, and against same-sex couples adopting children, but stay pretty silent on the issue of divorce.
Sorta inconsistent there….

The real danger in discrimination is that those who are oppressed find themselves funneled into (and beholden to) a certain political party. Holding equality out, as though it were a carrot, is too tempting for corrupt politicians. Equality should not be a bartering chip. Will we be forced into voting for issues that were not our concern? In our effort to attain American equality, will we be coerced into another’s agenda? Our duty, as American citizens, is to honor equality, so that it cannot be used to funnel whole segments of our population into voting for lesser ideals. Attaining rights, that never should have been withheld to begin with, forces our vote in directions that make individual decisions (votes) less free. The Supreme Court justices should know this. Corruption is here. Oppression bears bitter fruit. The result is compromise, the worst kind. The Supreme Court justices should know this. Robert P. George of NOM should know this. All that education and this is the logic springing forth? Sounds more like personal agendas are at play. Petty minds are funneling us into a political machine that is dangerous for the country. The Supreme Court justices might have fallen into worldliness and corruption. I have to go to work now, so that I can pay taxes to a government that holds me to a different, less than fair, standard.

@1EqualityUSA: “The Supreme Court justices might have fallen into worldliness and corruption” Unfortunalty they have truly lost their way. The recent ruling about allowing corporations to funnel unlimited funds towards candidates is one of the most dangerous rulings in the history of the republic. With all the bobbing and weaving corporations can do to hide the identies of who actually owns a corporation could lead to a candidate working on behalf of sworn enemies of this country. the Manchurian Candidate could soon be seen as a documentary, rather than a work of fiction………..
Lukas: Its the same tired old story the rightwing lunatics cherry pick items to fit their agenda, encouraging behaviour in one area which they velhmently oppose regarding to another issue………PS: What the hell were you doing up at 3:45 am posting on Qweirty??? : p

I am from Colorado Springs. Ryan Dobson is another self loathing closet case. It is very well known in Colorado Springs that Ryan is gay…this is the reason his marriage broke up. The reparative therapy didn’t work on Ryan…It doesn’t work on anyone. One of the reasons Focus on the Family abandoned it’s Exodus line of products.
He is just trying to fill his daddies big hateful footsteps.
