Anna Paquin is Bisexual

good for her,, supporting a caouse is a good thing,, who care if they are or not

If this were Facebook, I'd give you a thumbs-up, Steph!

I'd give it two thumbs up too, Melissa!

I think this is not morally right at all. Woman and Men are meant for each other in no other way at all..... This is wrong.

Well, of course you're entitled to your opinion, Gloria, by all means. But what this PSA is about is stopping hate crimes. And I think we can all agree that hate crimes are utterly wrong.

It will never be enough until organizations like HRC and homosexual activists have imposed themselves and their ideology upon every aspect of todays culture. School, family, society, government, the work place, and even the church. I could care less if a person is homosexual, means nothing to me. But keep it in your bedroom. Quit flaunting your choice in my face... I was raped by a homosexual pedophile as a little boy. The homosexual lifestyle offends me. And the homosexual agenda claims tolerance??? There is nothing tolerant about the new bully on the block. Know there are those like me who will never celebrate behavior so dangerous to our culture... http://wsimpson.wordpress.com/2010/02/04/the-truth-about-the-homosexual-agenda/

You too, are entitled to your opinion, William. But the homosexual lifestyle is not really the topic here. Hate crimes are wrong. Kicking your child out on the street because you don't agree with their choices and natural tendencies -- that's wrong, too. Anyway, didn't Jesus say it best: "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone." Let's not judge one another. Let's stop the hate.

Good for Anna...What did Kim Kardashian admit to? lol

I kissed a girl and I liked it.............yummers!

Melissa, be careful when you quote the Bible because even though it does say that, it also says in 1 Corinthians 6:8-10 "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."

I agree we need to stop the hate. Jesus was a man of peace and love, but I also get tired of homosexuals and bisexuals pushing their lifestyle choice in my face. How often do you ever hear of any celebrity coming out and being cheered for admitting to being a heterosexual? Or how about a Christian? Or a political conservative? Or being faithful to their spouse? No, instead they are vilified.

Since we seem to have denegrated to the point of waving and thumping on bibles, I would like to point out that the bible which began as a series of letters "written" by Jesus' followers whom may or may not have have had their own agenda as fallible mortals. Followed by centuries of "re-interpretation" by persons whom had their own agendas and political aspirations.

Yet, I give you your faith and use your bible to to remind you that allegedly, god created all mankind in his image. And, if god is love, and loves all of his creations, then how can you deny that love and image to any of his creations? How conceited and narcissistic of you to decide for God.

?????
Not sure what all that ranting and hating on the Bible was all about but...Ok...
Sounds like you are a little upset at something. Maybe you should go back to sleep and wake up on the other side of the bed.

Actually no, I'm not hating on the bible. I'm merely pointing out the fact that as someone said much better than I below, it's a dangerous thing to view one thing in the bible and believe it to be the one and only word to be interpreted in only one way.

Based on a narrow view of one passage, you want me to believe that God created some people as homosexuals and then damned them simultaneously? I'm sorry, but who wants to follow that kind of god?

God and I are tight. He is a loving god who's love is far too big for one sentence or one group's bigotry or even one faith. All he asks for in return is that I do my very best to model his love in my family, community, friend and stranger.

Sorry but thats kind of Hot .

You are absolutely correct, Scott Wahlstrom... the Bible DOES, indeed, say exactly that!
However, thanks to my quality Christian education, I know that some scriptures --like what you posted-- serve to inform us of all that God would have His believers know & understand (about His nature, inheriting His kingdom, etc...). And, other scriptures --like what Melissa Richardson posted-- specifically inform us believers as to how we are to behave in, & best navigate, this world for the time we are in it.

My advice to you?: 'take your own advice' and use better caution than to counter instructive scripture with informative scripture, since little else clutters and confuses a conversation so quickly.

I've no intention of adding more fuel to this crazy fire. But I do feel it's helpful to point out that I *am* a Christian. A Christian who doesn't judge and who strives her best to do unto others as she would have them do unto her. Imagine that.

Why is this in response to MY post?

Poster, SCOTT WAHLSTROM, is the one who told you to 'be careful when you quote the Bible' - I simply "quoted" SCOTT WAHLSTROMS post (see the whole [quote] thing?) for clear reference, informed SCOTT WAHLSTROM of the difference between scripture that informs & scripture that instructs, and suggested to SCOTT WAHLSTROM that he follow his own advice to use more caution when quoting the Bible, since countering instructive scripture with informative scripture is as relevant & productive as debating apples and oranges.

I was actually defending the whole idea of leaving the judgements to God, loving one's neighbor as one's self and doing unto others what we would have them do toward us... but, whatever ;0)

Sorry, Andrea -- seriously just posted it in the wrong place! Chaos = the devil's volleyball. :)

Cool. I just would not want *anyone* to think I was on the intolerant side of this particular debate - there are already far too many people using God as an excuse for their poor attitude & actions, I certainly do not want to come across as yet another!

Oh, and, will someone please be so kind as to point me to the exact passage of scripture in God's holy word that instructs His believers to be the very opposite of a good and faithful servant and witness by treating non-believers with intolerance, ill will, contempt and/or hatred?

Yeah... that's what I thought. ;0)

This sure went way off topic.

Sadly, Helen G., when sexual orientation/preference is the topic, that's what happens more often than not.

Why? Because too many people jump at any chance to hate and often use God as their primary excuse for doing so... when, really, God is a reason to love and nothing else.

Hate Sucks.

I am a Christian and I'll tell you what I believe. I believe there are so many issues we need to focus on to help one another live longer and better lives in the absence of hate, greed, persecution and apathy; then to be worrying who you, Anna or anyone kissed goodnight.

Goodnight.

On the Bible: It should be taken as a whole. It is so encompassing that anyone can AND will, pick single specific verses out of it to defend a thought or attach the thought of another.

Simply, judgement and vegeance are the realm of God. Loving God AND Loving One Another is what we're suppose to be doing.

Hear, hear!

Thanks Andrea.

Alright enough of the bible talk. Its a 3000 yr old book that was written when man still needed to populate the earth. Now the bible has turned into a control device rather then a history book or a book with dozens of lessons in it(which it does have, but we have stopped paying attention). The bible was 3000 yrs ago by men. This is the biggest problem that most people dont seem to understand. It has alot of very good info and good stories that im sure were intended to teach u the things that are wrong and also give a reason behind it. The bible was written in languages that are very discriptive in how things are said. A good example of this is when jesus cried tears of blood. More then likely he didnt actually cry tears of blood. Its more likely they were describing some type of pain of the soul that brought tears to his eyes. If you want to pull one-liners though i got a good one for u. Do not judge for you will be judged in the end. This is a basic statement of human freedom. If someone really has no effect on your life then you shouldnt be able to effect theirs. This is a simple idea that we cant seem to understand. So maybe change the base of your arguments against homosexuality away from a book that was written 3000 yrs ago and try to find something more solid. You will find that animals do go for the same sex (even ones that mate for life) in areas where they are over-populated. We are no better then the animals and in some cases worse. This is because we are animals. Homosexuality is a part of nature and no matter what the bible tries to say about it, dont forget that the bible was written at a time when (for some reason) we felt men should populate the earth. The result: distruction on massive scales. Nature is taking over and we just have to sit back and watch. Enjoy the show while it lasts. lol

The fact, the the Bible has endured, and the books of the Bible have endured through all these years despite repeated attempts to destroy it or minimalize it on a grand scale is the strongest reason for me to believe it as the INSPIRED word of God.

But of course you are entitled to your opinion and you will never hear me saying, "Enough of the Chris Stone talk, he's getting old and he speaks words that conjure different imagery that, forbid, we shouldn't be open to"....

No, Chris, I will not say such things. If I feel there is too much "talk of Chris", I'll just not spend my own time creating the longest comment on a post to declare it.

bTW: That's rhetorical rambling and I mean no harm...If you're ever in Greensboro NC, look me up, I'll buy you a coffee.

Alright ill shorten what i said. We should all be free to make our own choices without others getting in our way. The only time someone else should ever get involved is if it effects someone other then the person(s) making the choice(s). It is wrong for us to sit back and judge people for making different choices then ourselves. Leaving the bible out of it, hate crimes are wrong no matter how you choose to look at it. So no matter what faith you are you may want to sit back and think about the effects you are having on other peoples lives that have no effect on yours whatsoever.
Gonna leave this open-ended with. How about we talk about the benefits of having homosexual couples in a time when the world is becoming over-populated. Adoption agencies cant find homes for all of the children (especially if they aren't babies). I gave one example of the benefits of allowing homosexual relations maybe you all can throw a couple more. Lets leave the bible out of it now though....ok.

Yes, that was an extraordinary movie.
