1 " Any religion which demands death for other people is itself worthy of nothing less than it expects for others. In fact, it is probably long overdue. "
― Amanda M. Lyons , Inanna Rising: Women Forged in Fire
2 " Voting on things is democratic, yes - but not on deciding on whether or not people should be equal or have human rights. That isn't democracy, it is mob rule.Everybody should be equal in a democracy - that is the nature of a democracy. "
3 " The 'institution of marriage' is being threatened - by people getting married? Huh? "
4 " If you don't follow Christ or love others in the way Christ said, and let yourself be bogged down instead with fearfulness, hatred, violence and the persecution of others - HOW can you call yourself a 'Christian'? "
5 " The religious right sees every group trying to achieve equality with them as a threat, because if they become equal to them, THEY won't be able to abuse their human rights anymore. Giving other people equality WITH THEM, in their minds takes something away from THEM - POWER - and that TERRIFIES them. It scares them shitless. "
6 " Isn't it strange that having a dick automatically makes you a man, but having a vagina isn't enough to make me a woman? "
7 " Rejecting your gay or transgender child won't make them straight. It will only mean you will lose them. "
8 " Is the drive to refuse gay blood a fear of contracting HIV/AIDS, or is it an embodiment of the irrational fear that receiving blood from gay people will somehow make them gay? "
9 " It is interesting how - depending on the person in power - our LGBT issues are either right at the top of the list - or right at the very bottom. And almost always for exactly the wrong reasons. "
10 " South Africa is the only country where an overwhelming majority in complete political control is apparently so threatened by a tiny minority that they need racist affirmative action policies to protect the majority by legislatively excluding the minority totally from the job market. "
11 " Genocide doesn't become 'common assault' or 'isolated incidents' just because it is taking place one victim at a time. "
