Being a Christian (a liberal one in support of homosexuals... but one from a church where everyone is totally against it.. go figure), I can say that a lot of it is about Biblical interpretation. However, a lot of it is about closemindedness. Unfortunately, most of these people are impossible to convince (I've gotten into so many arguments at church that I've started going to a more liberal one), and there are a lot of people who feel that way. However, I don't think the law will pass, at least not nationally. It would be too hard to enforce and too hard to draw a line for... I mean, what about Greek and Roman mythology? And any education involving those ancient civilizations where homosexuality was considered completely natural? Is the nation willing to practically erase or edit parts of HISTORY for the sake of not "corrupting" the people?

What's next? Public book burnings? After the "homosexual agenda" (homosexuals) are crushed, what comes after that? Non-Christians (again)? Minorities (again)? I can't believe, in America, we would even think to supress any sort of book. Hello, "Land of the Free." It scares me. How long until homosexuality become a jailable offense? Or worse... What is it about some Christians that make them so afraid? Andy

James-

I would bet that this silly bill would pass pretty easily. Remember, Alabama was where they had that crazy pagan judge who kept on insisting we worship the 10 Commandments. Rationality is in short supply in Alabama.

It's about time we outlaw sex itself..unless done for procreation purposes. I'm so tired of hearing about the "joy of sex". We are definitely in a battle here. Let's win.
