Hello all, another story has just peeked my interest to read and I was somewhat awe struck at what I read. Take a look for yourself:

Palin church promotes converting gays - Yahoo! News

Now, I'm not one for choosing sides, nor am I one a hardcore politcial fan, but I'd say if Palin and McCain were to take the white house I fear the future, not just for the gay population in the U.S but for the country in general. I think that this church saying "We can change homosexuals through the power of prayer, and convert them to heterosexuals" is full on bull $@#@. And the this line:

You'll be encouraged by the power of God's love and His desire to transform the lives of those impacted by homosexuality,"

This reeks of utterly bullcrap. She treats this like gays are some kind of disease that has ruined lives. I mean Hurricane Katrina ruined lives. If this line was for something like that then there wouldn't much of a issue, but this....this litterally stuck me....

And mind you, I don't get stuck up like this. And look at this line:

Gay activists in Alaska said Palin has not worked actively against their interests, but early in her administration she supported a bill to overrule a court decision to block state benefits for gay partners of public employees. At the time, less than one-half of 1 percent of state employees had applied for the benefits, which were ordered by a 2005 ruling by the Alaska Supreme Court.

This doesn't make sense to me. She hasn't worked actively against the rights of gays before, through she supported a bill to overrule a court decision to block state benefits to gay partners? Why start this controversy now? Is she going to use her standing as a Vice President (if elected) to strip gay partners of not only their right to marry but also their gay rights? This just scares me.

I'm not really into politics, but in all honesty I think Palin will bring alot of diaster to this country if she gets the standing as a Vice President, but it will be Even Worse if McCain (if elected as president) suddenly dies and Palin takes his place! If she becomes Preisdent she'll diffinitely strip gays of all rights.........That would be awful, no terrible. Think of it, no rights at all, marry is one thing, but to strip gays of all rights is just down right evil.


You know? I liked the idea of having a woman as president. A woman who would make the lives of everyone better, but...that was when I was somewhat rooting for Hilary, but if Palin becomes the first female president I could literally keel over. McCain by himself was somewhat...ok at least we know how he stands, homosexuals wouldn't (hopefully) be to disturbed by him, but with Palin its a different story. I would diffinitely root for Obama. He for one support gay rights and marriage, and supports the choice for women if they choose abortion (all in all its a woman's choice, but to deny them that is wrong.)

I've seen some scandals involved Palin, in newspapers and the net about her past, her so called "13 year old penegant daughter", her many faces that were said to be "two faced", a back stabber, etc. I'm saying if all those were true but from all I've read of her and this article I have analyzed her, and she can pretty much "take on different forms" I'm not saying she's a shapeshifter but in a way that makes her somewhat untrustworthy.

All in all, after reading this article, I think Palin is a monster in women's clothing. And bringing this controversy about gays out like this has no doubt blown a hole into the lives of many gay men and women who wishes to be left alone in peace so they can live out their lives. If Palin takes office, its over, and I for one don't want my life altered by her Beliefs.

Oh and one more line:

I think gay Republicans are going to run away" if Palin supports efforts like the prayers to convert gays, said Wayne Besen, founder of the New York-based Truth Wins Out, a gay rights advocacy group. Besen called on Palin to publicly express her views now that she's a vice presidential nominee.

That's just what I throught as well. I have this feeling that gay Republicans AND Democrats are going to ran away from Palin, I think gay community has a made up a pretty high voting mark, and if she supports something like that and combined with her beliefs she will no doubt lose a majority of voters which could also hurt McCain in the long run.


What do you guys think?
