D. L. Hughley Breaks The News, As Well As Any Facade Of Intelligence
Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Media Minute > PolitikWhile we commend D. L. Hughley for operating with respect toward guest Dan Savage, a gay activist and writer, despite his conflicting views. We also have to point out that Hughley comes off as an ill-informed ill-articulated moron!!!!
In a discussion regarding Proposition 8, Hughley - who admits he's "not a regular churchgoer" - stutters and flounders in an attempt to hide behind his cafeteria approach to religion: "I can't, for whatever reason, is it my religious upbringing, I don't condone a gay lifestyle."
Oh, we're sorry, we didn't know it was a "lifestyle."
Last time we checked, Perez was born gay - VERY gay!
Savage says that it is the duty of the gay community to reach out, but also "It's the responsibility of white people not to be racist. It's the responsibility of men not to be sexist. And it is a responsibility of all of us not to be homophobic."
Hughley then makes another sweeping generalization, saying he's "never met a black atheist" because "we are so rooted in theology."
Got that? If you're an atheist, you're certainly not black, right?
Because blacks can only be one thing!
But Savage responds more diplomatically.
He says, "It needs to be articulated around religion and homosexuality is that you can have your theology and also sign off on gay and lesbian civil rights and full enfranchisement, including marriage. You know, a lot of Christians think Jews are going to hell. Right? And yet Jews can get married in our culture. No one's attempting to strip Jews of their civil rights in our dominant Christian culture."
Hughley tries to use God as an excuse for hate once again with "You stand before God and you vow to love and to cherish this woman or this man. And so I think people have a — I know particularly people that I talked to — had a hard time unhooking the religious component from the civil."
To which Savage says, "But we've long unhooked the religious component from the civil component because you can go to city hall and get married and God will not be invoked. Those are the marriage licenses that we want. We don't want to storm into anybody's church and force anybody's preacher or any religious person to observe our wedding."
At the end, they tacitly agree to disagree, and Hughley so kindly wishes Savage good luck, saying, "Well I'll tell you what, being black, I can tell you, you got to march a little while longer and then it might happen. I promise."
Well gosh, thanks.
Being black and understanding what it's like to struggle, Hughley should be marching too.
We'd also like to remind you that regardless of race, the under-30 population voted overwhemlingly agrainst Prop 8. This isn't the first time the issue was on the ballot and it certainly isn't the last.
Wether you like it or not, you're going to end up buying a toaster for your friend or relative's gay wedding!
Make sure it matches the curtains, okay?
You can also watch the video here.
Stop Whining Gays!! Yes on prop 8!! we won get over it!!!
btw…CNN is gay VERY gay…maybe it was even born gay…
PROP 8 LOST! STOP YOUR WHINING
God, I can't stand people who doesn't realize they lost and the LAW is against them.
THANK YOU CALIFORNIA
WE ALREADY KNOW YOU'RE SUPER GAY…NO NEED TO REMIND US! AND, NO I WILL NOT BE BEING ANY GAY PERSON A TOASTER…MORE LIKE ANTIBIOTICS FOR THE NASTY SHIT YOU FUCKERS SPREAD AROUND!
.
.
HATE IS GREAT!
Dan Savage, ROCKS!!!
The more you turn this site into a "RALLY AGAINST PROP 8" site, the more people will want to be thankful that CALIFORNIA PASSED IT BY THE MAJORITY VOTING YES ON IT
I wont be watching this disgusting pig,I'm starting to think all blacks are uneducated bigots. I knew they were anti-semtic but now I cant believe that they are worse then mormons.. And this Hughley pig has the nerve to say all blacks have religon,does that explain their huge gang memebership,crime rates and out of wedlock births.maybe,so Id rather not be religous and be law abiding and moral and a decent person,something this scumbag is not. Doesnt condone the gay lifestyle.he didnt say that what a ghetto trash,I think what he meant to say is Im a bigot against gay people and I dont approve of the gang-life-style and out of wedlock births that plague my community.
There is a HUGE difference in being Gay and being Jewish.
honestly perez…the way you dress anymore is making me question your gayness………..
you'd be a much, much better dresser!!!!
Another dumb ass!
pwn3d-Sounds like you need to get a new hobby and stay the fck of this site if you dont like it.
Not all blacks are Obama-caliber. Some reserve the right to be dumbshits as well - and that's affirmative action, too. He's probably in the closet and if he is, perez, we're sure you'll have ways of making him squeak.
I've always loved you, Perez, and I'm especially proud of you for standing up and being such a strong voice on this issue.
Don't be thick, Perez. All of the liberals who wanted Obama elected never stopped to think that if they got all the black voters to the polls that your prop 8 might make it through. Haven't you heard? It was the black voter turnout that voted FOR prop 8. Be careful what you wish for……
Sung to the melody of "BORN FREE", " Born Gay ,as gay as a rainbow, you are such a Homo, CUZ…. YOUR…. BORN….GAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!"
what, there are no BLACK gay people?
Talk to Wanda Sykes about the issue.
I don't know why CNN gave this idiot a show…he's not even funny
Re: Hot Monkey Love…Obama Style! – NOT "BEING" *GETTING
I HATE TYPOS WHILE HATING!
"No one's attempting to strip Jews of their civil rights in our dominant Christian culture." L.O.L palestine, anyone? they wanna eliminate jews from the entire universe.
i'm straight but this prop 8 shit is absolutely disgusting and no offense i'm proud to be canadian. i couldn't take being american right now. if i were gay i wouldn't know what to do. it's sick what some people are doing to try and eliminate gay rights. WTF, the guy's black! his ansestors were probably slaves to rich white people 100 years ago, and he thinks the gays shouldn't have rights? sorry. if you don't believe in gay marriage, don't marry someone from the same sex. it's that simple! leave them alone and let them have the freedom. the land of the free? oh, i'm sure
Re: badjuju –
badjuju, that is a very appropriate name you have chosen for yourself!
60-70% of Barak Obama's supporters are European American.
He would not the next President if ONLY black people voted for him.
Similarly, this proposition would not have passed into law if ONLY black people voted on favor of it.
so.
Please.
Shut.
Up.
Re: WhowouldJackiedo – YUCK!…PEREZ MAKING SOMEONE SQUEAK IS VOMIT INDUCING! THANKS A LOT
umm HELLO???
Prop 8 is not a one time thing…
it's going to be voted on again and again
But really Perez there is no need to jump on
people for EVRYTHING that is remotely offensive
or that could be taken the wrong way, he was very diplomatic and didn't intentionally say anything against people
Once again even though I stand for gay rights you are starting to piss me off with your comments in this situation. You can disagree with the lifestyle for moral, religious reasons whatever and still stand for civil rights. I also believe that DL said at the beginning of the interview that he voted no on Prop8. Please stop juding people as you despise being judges yourself.
Re: Big Black Dick – I don't know what chokes me up more, sweetness - your ten inches or the shit you come up with.
Re: knowitall – You sound like an uneducated bigot yourself with your comments. Be careful before you become the thing you yourself despise.
I don't care about his stance on the issue, but I tried to like his show, I really did. I was excited about the possibility of a "Daily Show" on CNN, but he's just not funny. Not funny at all. So many of his skits come off as really lame.
Re: habsfan890 – Yeah Canada!!
lolz
OKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK, you're fucking gay… I GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I voted No on 8, if you want me to vote no on 8 again…. shut the fuck up!!!!!!!!!!!!! The people have spoken for fucks sake.
Re: Big Black Dick – You're making me LOL over here. cute!
Re: stars101 –
Human rights is not something that anyone can just "give a rest," to.
hahaha seriously perez. as much as i love gays i cant stand it that you cant let people have their own opinion.
you're actually hurting your own cause because now im starting to dislike it- i feel like its bad karma for not letting people have an opinion and trying to hurt those who speak it.
god seriously. this is why i cant stand liberals. this is why.
WHY HE EVEN HAS A TALK SHOW???
Wasn't he a comedian? Or tried to be one?
Perez would be more interesting and fun to watch in a talk show.
"Ill articulated"??? what the hell- you made that one up.
Ironic?
hey perez. why not hate on Obama, hes against gay marr. hate on him. not nobodies like this kid.
if you dont like it. dont watch it.
Re: knowitall –
Amen. I don't even get why people need to bash those who oppose prop 8 on a site run by a gay man.
Two of my best friends in the world are Gay. I see no difference and have no prejudice, based on skin colour, sex or ethnicity. But if someone's opinion differs from yours, bullying them won't change it.
Calling people names because they aren't of the same opinion is just plain bullying. Like it or not. Something you are up in arms about people doing to the gays. Get over yourself ad realize that everyone is entitled to their opinion - Isn't that in the constitution?
blacks are rooted in religion but DL said it wrong. Im black and I dont really believe in a lot of religions. i dont think anyone has it right.
But I do have to say that Perez is starting to become a whiny bitch. You're opinions are so biased and whether you believe it or not..you're influencing a lot of young people. Yet you are ill informed as well and try to swing people to your side regardless of what you really know is true.
anyway DL is just another example of white television picking the "not so smart, but mildly entertaining black man" to make sure people remember blacks are just as much the enemy as hispanics and gays.
Maybe if people weren't so aggressive prop 8 might've failed. "Whether you like it or not"? Fucking dumbass, if people don't LIKE it they'll vote FOR banning it (just like they fucking did). Have fun being supported by people who don't understand the facts behind the issues surrounding gay marriage rights and are just in it to be "cool".
I'm sorry, I'm not going to condone assholes destroying property just because of opposing views and neither should you. Telling people to "get out" of their neighborhood if they don't support gay marriage is ridiculous. Reverse discrimination is just as bad.
Read up about the black civil rights movement and see how people civilly get their rights.
Re: knowitall – oh yes, all blacks are anti-semetic, lazy thieves. grow up.
bitch and moan. bitch and moan.
ok seriously i am ALL for gay rights everywhere and i think it's wrong that gays are being denied rights but perez come on, the majority voted yes. get over it. you're not above the law and you can't do anything to eliminate prop 8. hey, why don't you move to canada. we have full gay marriage rights in all provinces.
;)
Re: habsfan890 –
Uh, I'm pretty sure when DL says "our" culture, he means American culture, which would exclude the PLO. Nice try tho…
DL Hugley is not funny or witty. Just a bunch of black jokes every time. he's a one-trick pony and that i splayed out. Yawn. Chocolate news on comedy central is funny, whereas this is not…
I thought he was smarter than that. wow. I am shocked that he is that narrow minded. Too bad.
Re: Pwn3d! – why do you go to this site. you come off as such a stupid asshold
I just wanted to state that I am a black hetero female from VA and I am shocked to find that black people in CA didnt support this more! Hell all around the DC metro area to the Richmond area all the way down to ATL there are more and more homosexual couples out in the open. It is more common these days. Being black I know what it is like to be discrimated against, having people tell you that you can or can not just because you are not like them. I was brought up in the church as well as D.L. and being gay is not really accepted. But I always wanted to know what made them so sure that God was against people just because they are gay? I was always taught that our God was a loving and forgiving God. I am not sure nor am I God but the Bible says judge not lest ye be judged yourselves. I think that if homosexual couples want to get married, why not? It has nothing at all to do with me or my life. I am always careful in judging people and trying to belittle them. The HIV rate is extremely high in the african american community, especially in african american women. If more people were open and honest with themselves and to everybody about who they really are they wouldnt be in the closet and bringing HIV home to their wives and girlfriends!
Never met a black atheist? Is that a joke?
I'm pretty damn white and I had to read TWO Richard Wright books in school.
Re: st3phanii3 – Oh yes we can change prop 8, just like prop 22, and 187. This state has a history of rejecting propositions all the time. Sad to burst the bubble of the people who supported yes on 8 but because the constitution says equal rights for everyone looks like the prospect of prop 8 becoming a reality are really low. Maybe when time travel becomes a reality all of them can go to happier times in the middle age, wait, that was even more gay, come to think of, gay people have been around since the early days. Probably even before marriage. Alternate universe anyone???
the fact that liberals are all for freedom of speech is so funny considering they think people who disagree with them shouldnt have freedom of speech.
im kinda hoping he was playing devils advocate or something because that whole thing was unbelievable and didnt make any sense what so ever.what the fuck does religion have to do with civil right and law?the only connection there is that the law protects you the whole religion race or creed situation.so everybody that is going against gay marriage as a right in this country is going against everything your country stands for.religion and civil rights are so far from each other its fucking killing me that people are still making it connect.dan savage made so much sence in this interview even while dealiing with that douche everybody should watch it and learn something.i love his comment about the christians ans jews,it couldnt be more true.if we as christians believe the things that have been drilled into our heads then why arent we trying to take the rights of jews away or them ours???people need to stop making it about being religious or race,its about being a human being who has the same rights as every other ashole in this world.it fucking sickens me.these people that believe there are other people in the world who doesnt deserve the same rights and law as they do should be fucking shot. oh and perez your a fucking douchebag.
Why they keep picking up the dumb unsophisticated d lister black celebrity. I miss Arsenio sooo bad. Now I know when black people talk about conspiracy.
Gay Civil Rights is the EXACT same thing as Black Civil Rights. Anyone who thinks that it's not is A FUCKING MORON !!!! The only reason gay people were not hung, attacked and made to be slaves is because they were able to (in most cases) hide their homosexuality. I was born GAY the same way that FUGLY, PAINFULLY IGNORANT D.L. Hughly was born BLACK.
Perez your hypocrisy is ridiculous. Referring to Hughley's quote when he said he'd "never met a black atheist." Perez responded by saying "Got that? If you're an atheist, you're certainly not black, right? Because Blacks only be one thing!" Perez if that's how you feel how can you assume all mormons are against gay marriage, or for that matter that everyone in Utah is a mormon!!! You're a hypocrite and you've just exposed yourself. You accused Hughley of doing the exact thing you're doing!!! Hughley didn't show a lack of intellegence, he simply showed a view that's different from yours. Hughley was very respectful of his guest while also sharing his own views. He also pointed out something VERY important. Gay marriage is nowhere comparable to the things African Americans faced, so stop comparing the two. Don't be a hypocrite Perez. Boycotting Sundance does nothing, but hurt more people needing money in an economic recession. WAKE UP PEREZ!!! Your ignorance is offensive.
Re: masterdeluniverso – oh ok. Well I'm not from California or the US so I wouldn't know that, but thanks for telling me. I hope they overturn it!
such a touchy subject…
i am a christian and i am also married, therefore i believe in the sanctity of marriage. but as a christian it is also my belief that we should not judge or condemn others, because God will judge us all in the end. that being said…just because i don't agree with something doesn't mean i am going to shove my beliefs down someone's throat. everyone is responsible for their own actions and no one else's. and who am i to judge anyway, no one's perfect but God.
Re: stars101 – i think the gay people shoud go around and as they please and take peoples right away they should go around killing and raping what should they care do we as gay paople have the right to protect ourselves and our bodies and or lives????i dont think so not if we feel we can tell other people what there rights are and where they fit and dont fit.why should we have any of our rights if they dont.i think they are being too nice about it id=f im honest,if you tried to take away my civil rights id fuck you up.
D.L ugly needs to die he is a hateful person and anybody that voted yes on prophate.. needs to die wtf is wrong with you being a racist mother fucker is wrong.. it don't matter skin color, creed …you wana come at me..come at me with more than who i want to have sex with …hate is hate.. and not being able to be with is a shitty thing,,um it's called seperation of church and state..!hello
Re: Hot Monkey Love…Obama Style! – If it's only the gays…why are you worried about "it spreading" to you? Closet homo?
Hahahahahah! That is so funny. I love D.L. Hughley! Good for him for being honest. I cannot stand Dan Savage. He is such a sissy! Men are supposed to be men and should act accordingly. As far as your ridiculous statement: "Wether you like it or not, you're going to end up buying a toaster for your friend or relative's gay wedding" You are a fucking moron Perez. That would be the fucking day. I would never in my entire life support gay marriage, let alone buy some homo a fake "wedding" present. So glad prop 8 passed! So sick of all the hateful homosexuals saying that type of bullshit!
Re: Sgirl – i hope you get gang raped
"When we let freedom ring, whem we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when ***all of God's children***, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
-
a great man, a BLACK man said this
-
I know - and believe you me, HE knew - that until EVERY black person stands for gay rights, for womens rights, for the rights of the elderly and their nations veterans of EVERY color they can only say they want "black rights" and not "equal rights".
-
Is that what HE would have wanted? Is that what HE died for?
wow that's stupid. DL should realize that it was slave traders that forced the idea of christianity on africans when they brought them to the states as slaves. They baptized them before loading them onto ships, so it baffles me when African Americans show such love for a god that brought them into a world of slavery.
Re: jojo123 –

I pity her, she hates herself far more than she could ever hate anyone else.
PROP 8 LOST! STOP YOUR WHINING
Because that's what it is
He's nothing but a fucking idot, and he's been given just the forum to prove it.
Re: Sgirl – i hope you know there's such a thing as the federal judicial system whose job it is to overturn such hateful "laws" as proposition 8. so celebrate while you can, but in the end, prop 8 will be overturned.
Re: ELLOLOVAH122 – I DON'T WANT THEM SPREADING IT PERIOD! YOU'RE SUCH A FUCKSTICK! KEEP UP THE CRYING YOU LITTLE BITCH!
Re: ELLOLOVAH122 – OH, AND DID I SAY "TO ME"???
I DON'T THINK SO..AGAIN, STOP BEING A FUCKSTICK!
Re: heygirlhey223 – why do you go to a gay man's website? Do you enjoy looking like a bigot?
Re: knowitall – Um… 70% of Black people voted yes in Prop 8 (I'm black, but I voted no) that's not 70% of the Yes vote. 70% of black people is hardly even enough in the state of California to get a law passed. That means there are alot of white people who voted yes. I think a lot of white people said they were voting no so that they would sound all progessive and hip (like the media thought would happen with the Obama vote) and they went in and voted no.
Assuming that all black people are bigots is about the same as being homophobic, isn't it? Generalizing a huge group of people because of a tiny bit of information you heard on TV or on the internet. Doesn't that make you about the same as someone who voted yes on 8. If gays want equality and I"m all for that, they need to stop blaming, and name calling those who disagree with them and focus on educating people so that this can be reversed. You are not going to be able to change someone's mind, if this is what they believe. I am Christian, but I look at gay marriage like i look at abortion rights, the government should have no part in telling people what they can do in their relationship. If gay people are allowed to marry, my life doesn't change.
When someone doesn't agree with your views, just move on. Be an adult about. Seriously.
liberal=bitching,yawn= I love when republican trailer trash like you tells Perez if he doesnt like the dumb uneducated Hughley he should not watch,I would say if you dont like Perez standing up for his civil rights,dont come here,right hpocrite .
last time I checked.. you are NOT born gay! I have never heard of a gay gene! a 2 year old does not know what being gay means so how in the world can you be born gay? I have never heard of a gay infant! second… California has voted TWICE to ban gay marriage! deal with it we obviously don't want it!!! i'm pretty sure if prop 8 wouldn't have passed, yes on 8 supporters would not be bitching and rallying every damn day like you no on 8 supporters are.. we yes on 8 people would deal with it! give it a rest already!!!!
what an ignoramus! i think that it is a downright disgrace that black people, after all of their ANCESTORS suffering, thats right, ancestors, not theirs, they are denouncing gay rights and treating another group of people like second class citizens. it is atrocious and one of the biggest forms of hypocrisy i have seen in a long time. just because you choose to believe a despicable made up fairytale, about a fucking man in the sky, doesn't mean you get to take away the rights of innocent people. if your really going to turn this into a religious thing consider this, on that same chapter in the bible where it claims it is "sinful" to be gay, it also claims that its ok to beat your wife, and if you please you may STONE YOUR CHILDREN TO DEATH. so are you going to do all of those things because the bible says its right? NO. thats because religion is complete horseshit, and it has turned society into hate-mongering, unintelligent, ignorant human beings. oh yeah, your race is "so rooted in theology", more like your so rooted in complete ignorance.jackass.
OH disco-as youre spewing your evil bile maybe you can point out where such huge damage was done to the Yes on 8 haters,tell me exactly and back it up with a link showing damage,you know you are lying,right. Secondly I think the most violent thing that happened so far was some latino scumbag driving to harrass gay people with his truck getting out and punching in the face a gay guy so hard it required hostpitalazation,so maybe you can show me one gay person doing something as disgusitng or violent as that,bigoted pig that you are.
UH…NO, I'm NOT buying any gay a toaster, lol!! YES on 8 and you're getting old, Perez. YOU LOST, the PEOPLE have SPOKEN!!
Blueyz- So voting for discrimination against gay people is just like people having an opinion.wow,the disclaimer of I have gay friends is always followed up with the most disgusting bigotry,and you didnt disappoint at all
Re: stars101 – what do you mean??? you think we should just give up, because a horrible law passed? did people just "give up" after the jim crow laws were passed? these people deserve this right. you moron.
Re: knowitall –
OH FUCK OFF AND DIE! MY SISTER IS BLACK, HAS ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM WITH GAY PEOPLE (IT'S NOT AS IF THEY'RE ALL OUT BUMMING EACH OTHER IN THE STREETS!) AND HER EDUCATION COST MORE THAN YOUR HOUSE!
THIS MAN IS OBVIOUSLY AN IDIOT, BUT THAT DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO DAMN ALL BLACK PEOPLE WITH HIS STUPIDITY YOU SILLY CUNT. ETHNICITY DOES NOT PREDETERMINE IDEALS - IT IS SOLELY DOWN TO NURTURE!
what a moron how did he get his own political talk show?
if someone told him and African Americans to keep marching there would have been riots!!! and certainly racist out crys…
we shouldn't be allowing this.
i think hughley voiced a lot of reasonable concerns that many people had. i don't agree with those concerns, but like savage said, it's partly the responsibility of the gay right activists to reach out to those who have their doubts and educate them. while ignorance is not an excuse, it can't completely be someone's fault if they haven't been educated properly.
Re: tntlove –
-
people ARE born gay
-
you don't hear of infants engaging in heterosexuality either
have you read what elton john said about prop 8 on USA today?
In December 2005, John and Furnish tied the knot in a civil partnership ceremony in Windsor, England. But, clarified the singer, "We're not married. Let's get that right. We have a civil partnership. What is wrong with Proposition 8 is that they went for marriage. Marriage is going to put a lot of people off, the word marriage."
"I don't want to be married. I'm very happy with a civil partnership. If gay people want to get married, or get together, they should have a civil partnership," John says. "The word 'marriage,' I think, puts a lot of people off.
"You get the same equal rights that we do when we have a civil partnership. Heterosexual people get married. We can have civil partnerships."
There you go Perez, so stop whining!!! and besides its over, the people have spoken, they said yes on 8
Re: knowitall – Oh, God, can you please stop coming on here and prooving to people how uneducated, and uninformed you are. You are hurting the people that are like you. Do you know that? All blacks? Listen to yourself. I really feel sorry for you. I swear you're that Tina chick that Perez used to post about. I'm black, baby. I just got out of a 7 year relationship with a female. I'm a female. We still live together. I'm wiccan. My grandmother is white. I live in an 875,000 dollar home. I donate Turkeys for Thanksgiving. I still don't think gays should marry. Why fix what's broken. Do I fit into your bubble/ stereotype?
Re: crazyinla – you are also a sick individual.
If blacks are so rooted in theology why is the out of wedlock birthrate in the black community 70%? Why do black men have multiple children with multiple women and then leave them? Doesn't sound very rooted in theology to me. I don't understand why D.L. Hughley was given his own show. I don't think he's intelligent enough to carry it by himself, perhaps a panel show would be more suited to him.
Re: knowitall – Oh, and I didn't vote at all…but if I did, I would have voted no.
Re: MP – YOu're right, he's a comedian, he should have stayed there, or at least studied.
Wow. Perez pay attention to what's going on with this whole "Prop 8 debate". The reason Hughley was on speaking about it was simple: The gay community is screaming and crying because the majority of Blacks in Cali voted against it, and some how being gay is like being Black in the 50s and 60s. Gay marriage is NOT a Civil Rights issue. Gay marriage is a Legal rights issue. It's a Legal Rights issue that the people of Cali have voted AGAINST.
Further, when speaking about Christians or any other monotheistic religion being against gay marriage, remember they will be as a WHOLE. Sure you'll have a few who aren't but the religions themselves do not allow for gay marriage.
Christians thinking Jews aren't going to heaven has ZERO to do with gay marriage. It's theology. Gay people cross all religions and people.
Once again, gay marriage is not a Civil Rights issue. Gay people have their Civil Rights. It's a legal issue that the gay community in Cali lost, stop blaming people from withholding your "civil rights" and start blaming what is the real issue—Democracy. Democracy is beautiful and you don't always get what you want.
fruitloop….my 'curtains' do not match my 'carpet'……i have hardwood sweetie!! how ya like that? huh? uh huh!! yeaaaaa………
Re: tntlove – actually moron, they are finding in genetic studies that there certainly is a "gay gene" so stop being so fucking ignorant.
Re: Jenisis –
Uh Jenisis, you obviously didn't get knowitall's memo on how a black person should behave - considering how he seems to be an expert and all!
Well done for responding with class - his post made me so mad that all I could think of were swear words! xx
it's up to WHITE people not to be racist? Excuse me? Racism is not just specifically from one race. Just like sexism isn't just from men, and homophobia isn't just from Christians. They are both generalizing, stereotyping idiots, and need to shut the fuck up.
Re: kellymarieee – checks and balances sweetie……one thing we are going to be without…………sad
How did he get a news show? That is my first problem with this video. Secondly, he is not a good interviewer even. The guest basically had to interview himself. No on prop 8!
Re: mchenry420 – NUMBER 61 - (and i quote) "anybody that voted yes on prophate.. needs to die …"
—————————————————-
yep, hate IS hate and boy….you have lots of it……..
i love those who preach acceptance but yet out of the other side of their mouth wish death upon others who don't agree with them. AWESOME!!
Marriage in the eyes of the law should not have anything to do with religion (separation of church and state anyone?). By that logic, vague notions of gay marriage being "against your theology" should not even enter into legal discussions. People always talk about this being a "Christian nation," but the Founding Fathers (most of them agnostic or Deist) were also smart enough to know that marginalized groups must be protected from the "tyranny of the majority."
they should keep fighting for there rights until it is changed.anybody who has there right taken away from them should fight for the rest of there lives if it doesnt change in our lifetime maybe it will in our childrens just like any other civil rights movement.it may have taken time but more importantly nobody gave up.black people fought and woman fought and now its the gay peoples turn.someday we will look back at this all in madness the same way we do when we see black people or woman at the voting polls.people are afraid of what they dont know and thats whats wrong with them,they are uneducated.i love that the most powerful man ion the world is black and i would have loved it if it were a woman and i hope the next one is as gay as christmas.the white man is scared and the white man is running because the white man knows his goose is cooked.
Isnt if funny this homo perez will tear people apart if they diagree with gay marriage…. calls for the fireing of some theater guy because he silently donated money….blames the whole mormon church and christians… and yet commends DL when he diagrees…..why….because hes black….the gays are such hypocrites theyll blame the mormon church and attack christians but if you listen to the video the majority of black and latinos voted for prop 8….and just attacks the christians…..Perez your motherfucking racist…Fuck you ……
hughley is a dumb uneducated man just like all the other black people who voted yes on 8
