[On a pool in the town of Galion not giving a Family Pass to a family with same sex parents.]
Galion is in my backyard. I posted this article because the gay agenda is now so saturated into our culture that it is hitting small towns. Galion is so small you can blink and miss it as you drive through. The constant pushing of their lifestyle has brought me more against them then before. Before they began pushing the acceptance of their lifestyle, I had no problem with gays because they minded their own business. But now... being plastered all over the news and through society is making me hate their cause. (The sin not the person) The things people are saying about this small town around here, because they can't change the rules in the blink of an eye, makes me wants me to slap them so hard they go back in time to witness the crucifixion. Eh.... I'm just so annoyed by this. Someone pray for the north east... the US as a whole actually would be better.

And your message isn't "plastered all over the place"? We have free speech, so you can't prevent someone else from speaking. You can ask them to stop, of course, but therein lies the other problem. You have no position to be demanding that people shut up. Not when you won't shut up about your religious nonsense. If you get to talk, they get to talk.
If you, ksnyder, can put Jesus fishes on the backs of your cars and wear crosses around your necks, then a same-sex couple can get a family pass to the local swimming pool.
That's not persecution nor an agenda; that's fairness.

"That's not persecution nor an agenda; that's fairness."
That's not fairness, that's a non sequitur.
Fairness would be allowing homosexuals to display homosexual symbols because Christians display fish and crosses, and allowing the homosexual family* access to the pool because straight families have access.
*No, I'm not implying that the entire family is homosexual just because the parents are. Y'all know what I meant.
If you really just hated the sin and not the sinners, you would be treating that family with love by welcoming them, instead of being "annoyed" that they just want to take their kids to the pool like everybody else.
"the constant pushing of their lifestyle"
You're pushing YOUR lifestyle of bigotry on them by advocating for them to be kept out of the pool. Do you really expect anyone who's being treated that way to just lie down and take it?
"because they can't change the rules in the blink of an eye"
Oh, puhleese. It's a fucking pool key. Someone with a backbone goes into the office, gets a key, and hands it to them. It doesn't require an act of Congress.
Assuming this is a public pool, it sounds to me like some official(s)in Galion need some jail time.
P.S. Sounds to me like ksnyder is a twit and an a$$hole.
[On a pool not giving a Family Pass to a family of blacks]
Before they began pushing the acceptance of their lifestyle, I had no problem with Negros because they minded their own business. But now... being plastered all over the news and through society is making me hate their cause. The things people are saying about this small town around here, because they can't change the rules in the blink of an eye, makes me wants me to slap them so hard they go back in time.

I thought I should mention that I looked at the article that the fundie posted on RR, & it appears that one of the people on the town board is a conservative Christian, and it turns out he's OK with the family getting the pass.
(emphasis added):
"For a Weltanschauung is intolerant and cannot permit another
to exist side by side with it. It imperiously demands its own recognition as unique and exclusive
and a complete transformation in accordance with its views throughout all the branches of
public life. It can never allow the previous state of affairs to continue in existence by its side.
And the same holds true of religions.
Christianity was not content with erecting an altar of its own. It had first to destroy the pagan*
altars. It was only in virtue of this passionate intolerance that an apodictic faith could grow up.
And intolerance is an indispensable condition for the growth of such a faith. "
-Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf"
He hated homosexuals too; those 'Pink Triangles' and all that jazz.
All right-wing Fundamental ist Christains - No Exceptions - are Nazis.
Prove me wrong, Ruptured Retards. But then...:

...the only possible way you can, is to become the diametric opposite of what you are now: Unitarian Universalists.
Why would you want them to witness the cruci-fiction? To witness how it changed absolutely nothing in relation to anything except in the imaginations of people who think it somehow made them innocent and could therefore do whatever they wanted to whomever they wanted and they would be magically "washed pure" so it was somehow OK?
I wish YOU could witness it so you could see what real state-sponsored coercion looks like.
@Alencon
How the fuck is simply wanting to go to the town pool a "pushing of their lifestyle?"
To fundie Christians and other homophobes, gay people being out in public and not staying at home in the closet is pushing their lifestyle on everyone. Of course, Christian fundies don't see the total ironic hypocrisy in complaining about people pushing their lifestyle on others while they push their lifestyle on others.
Someone pray for the north east... the US as a whole actually would be better.
The US as a whole would be better if somebody prayed for the north east? I guess that makes about as much sense as anything else here.
The people who run the pool admitted that they made a mistake and need to revisit the definition of "family". And again, gays don't have to censor themselves because them being out and proud makes you uncomfortable. And the LGB community and their allies will continue to fight until they achieve the same rights and privileges that straights enjoy. Get over it.
On behalf of the entire Northeast, I'd like to politely tell you to go fuck yourself. The rest of the country would not survive without us, especially the red states. We most certainly do not need you or anyone "praying for us" when what we would like would be for people like you to stop dragging the rest of the country down, wasting time & resources.
Just leave gay people alone.
It's all over the news because assholes like you make a big fucking deal about it. They wanted a pool pass so they could enjoy it. You can not mind your own business. For you, them being out and about is forcing their lives on you. For you to want Christianity, your particular version of it to be law and followed by everyone is not forcing your views on anyone. You fucking hypocrite.
You have no problem with invisible fairies, but when you have to actually accept that gay people exist, you suddenly "hate their cause"? I have news for you, asshole; you DID have a problem with them from the beginning.
If you and people like you actually DID accept them for who they are, they wouldn't be on the news any more, as they would be as mundane and uninteresting as heterosexuality is.
They AREN'T trying to change the rules, numbskull. They just want to be included in the same rules that govern everyone else.
You're just so annoyed that you have to live in the same world as people who are not exactly like you? Oh, you poow wittle you!
I thought the north-east was the more progressive, prosperous and open-minded part of the US. It's the rest of the US we need to pray for...
Stop pushing your retarded lifestyle on the rest of us.
And stop using the term lifestyle, just existing is not a lifestyle.
So you admit that you have considered physically assaulting people?
You need to be more Christ-like. What happened to turning the other cheek?
You're just a pathetic shell of a fraud of a pseudo-Christian, ksnyder.
being plastered all over the news and through society is making me hate their cause.
You hate their cause because it's making you look like a petty and spiteful bigot. The truth always hurts when you're a fundie.

Needless nitpicking over details.
These dick sneezes just keep going on with their grossness. ~Oh noes, a family I don't approve of is doing something only *normal* people are allowed to do! Jaysus help us!~

That's "code" for saying you just wish GLBT people stayed invisible and didn't dare to come out of the closet. And stop saying you don't hate GLBT people. Clearly you do. Your words, beliefs, and actions are full of fucking hate.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
