		<description>I was the co-creator of the &quot;Team McCormick&quot; t-shirts.  While I don&#039;t hate Pastor H for hating gays, I pity him for not &quot;following in the footsteps of Jesus&quot; (as is the goal of most Christians) and learning to love all types of people.

Hypocrisy at its finest.</description>

		<description>I WANT TO ANSWER sanai student.

1. &lt;a&gt;-why is he wasting his time? &lt;b&gt;-does he think by doing this the gay community is going to say oh you’re right and magically become un-gay? his efforts aren’t going to accomplish anything. do something worth while. send your “1000 prayer soldiers’ somewhere where they can make a difference. darfur?

A-1. &lt;a&gt;-For every soul saved, theres a grand rejoicin in heaven(goes something like that) &lt;b&gt;-no - tending to those closest to you first is respectable.

2.  if he doesn’t want gay people to have a ’special day’, take away black history month. ITS THE SAME THING. a time period set aside to recognize inequality of a group of people.

A-2. Prove me your gay. Testimony? So God really does exist because you &#039;feel it&#039;? Not really.  ike a black preacher once said... its insulting to be compared to gays.

3. whether its in the bible or not, loving someone of the same sex isn’t illegal. SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE! the inequality these people face is unconstitutional (14th amendment).

A-3.  The boy who loved the 30yr old man and he loved him back isn;t ilegal either. Heterosexuality=/=homosexuality... in and of themselves, they are not equal... they are only as equal as we(relatively) make em out to be. If it were so unconstitutional, they would aready be marrying in every state, not facing an amendment. Why? Equality is in the eye of the beholder.

4. it is also in the bible that god loves EVERYONE and created EVERYONE. if he wanted us to all be the same then why did he make us so different?

A-4. Are you not familiar with God testing us?  Life on earth is a test, not paradise. God is cruel then? Do you really want to question God&#039;s ways?</description>

		<description>Well on behalf of my school (well some of us anyway) thank you so much for your support.

My friend an i created a shirt that we sold and that we&#039;ll be wearing tomorrow.
 
On the front it says Team McCormick (the teacher who spoke out during the MLK assembly) and on the back it has a gay couple, a straight couple, and a lesbian couple and on the bottom it says:

&quot;Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than two men holding hands&quot;

I wish we could&#039;ve made more to sell tomorrow.</description>

		<description>Right on Mt Si Student!

And just so you know you aren&#039;t alone against these people preaching intolerance, I will be one of the people there in the morning as you arrive tomorrow to show support for your efforts to end intolerance and bullying at your school (I&#039;ll be one of the ones with a rainbow flag).</description>

		<description>I am a student at mt.si high school and id&#039; like to bring up a couple points.

1. why is he wasting his time? does he think by doing this the gay community is going to say oh you&#039;re right and magically become un-gay? his efforts aren&#039;t going to accomplish anything. do something worth while. send your &quot;1000 prayer soldiers&#039; somewhere where they can make a difference. darfur?

2. if he doesn&#039;t want gay people to have a &#039;special day&#039;, take away black history month. ITS THE SAME THING. a time period set aside to recognize inequality of a group of people.

3. whether its in the bible or not, loving someone of the same sex isn&#039;t illegal. SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE! the inequality these people face is unconstitutional (14th amendment).

4. it is also in the bible that god loves EVERYONE and created EVERYONE. if he wanted us to all be the same then why did he make us so different?

just a thought.</description>
