Sure you can hide it Preacher Man… ever hear of make-up? It’s kind of like don’t ask don’t tell – ridiculous isn’t it.

“Jesus loves the little children. All the children of the world, red and yellow black and white…”

Isn’t that one of their brain-washing songs? I know, I grew up in Pentacostal Church. Talk about flaming!

I really don’t understand what the problem is with so many black men being homophobic. I keep hearing all of this crap about a need to educate the black community, and how the LGBT Community needs to be careful not to offend them with comparisons to the civil rights struggle of African-Americans in the 60′s, and I have to say I’m tired of it. Black bigots like Delegate Emmett Burns Jr. of Baltimore County, need to give it a rest and realize that discrimination against gay & lesbian Americans is just as wrong and unjustified as discrimination against black Americans was in the 60′s. Sorry Delegate Burns, but it is a fair comparison and we aren’t going to stop making it. I really think the people in Maryland need to run some Pro-LGBT candidates against these homophobes in the Democratic Primaries, because ironically, it is the anti-gay Dems in the Democrat domininated Maryland General Assembly that are standing in the way of gay marriage and other Pro-LGBT legislation’s passage.

why, after three days of informing the dcagenda staff that this bill has died in committee will they NOT verify that and update their article?

“I cannot hide my color. I don’t want to. I’m proud to be who I am. But those who are of a different sexual orientation could.”

1. I thought that you real men could spot a queer a mile off. Make up your minds already.

2. People can hide their religion, so if we pass a law discriminating against your religion, it’s not really discriminatory, right?

Del. Burns thinks “Our back door is wide open.” Seems like he should be in favor of gay marriage. :-/

Sorry but the stament Mr. Burns made – “I cannot hide my color. I don’t want to. I’m proud to be who I am. But those who are of a different sexual orientation could.”- is little vague. Because I can hide my sexual orientation. I don’t want to be a person that I am not. I am proud to be the kind of person that I am. I married in Spain and we love each other nad we want to be togheter with a civil recognition, that is the point. We LOVE each other, also God talk about LOVE. Don’t be hypocrite. That stament is stupid and without content. Sorry about my english but i’m still learning english.
