freedom for ?
Okay, I normally don't like to talk about two things those being religion and politics.

I just felt compeled to say how I felt and not meaning to change anyone's feelings, thank god we all are able to have different opinions, but I read an article last night that disturbed me and was just not sure how to go about voicing that disturbance.

I agree everyone has thier right to thier opinions far be it for me to judge others on thier opinons or what I think they should be.

The article I am refering to was in a local paper about a soldier(I must say I do not know this soldier but my mother knows his mother) that recently lost his life serving his country (America) in Iraq. I am not saying that our troops being there is or isn't the right thing, there is enough people doing that already. The part that disturbed me was that a religious group from Kansas planned to protest at his funeral, and notified the local police that they had planned to do this, because of what they said was gods way of punishing the US for its liberal views on<b> homosexuality.

</font></b>My point is who deemed them the authority on<b> homosexuality </font></b>is it really wrong? who made or appointed them god or gods advocates, and able to judge others feelings for another human being wether it be same sex or not? I have known several openly admitingly homosexuals, who are great people. Why should someone be judged by thier sexual preference anyway?

My biggest issue is why can't they let this poor soldier rest in peace? why subject his family to this? Is protesting a funeral really going to solve the worlds issues? The biggest question is it really going to change America's feelings on homosexuality? If they are just trying to get attention do it in another forum.

who funds these trips all over to harrass innocent people?(apparently they travel all over spreading the word)at other soldiers funerals.

Sorry folks but homsexuality is not a new issue this went on in Roman times it was totally acceptable for a man to have sex with a young boy as long as he bought him gifts..don't believe me ? look it up..

I am not saying that it is bad or good it just is, I just think that everyone is entitled to thier own opinons on sex, life, lifestyle, etc. I just think that it is imperative that people should keep it in perspective, this soldier had nothing to do with<b> homosexuality </font></b>he just served his country and lost his life doing something he believed in was good and a worthy cause.

If you stayed with me to this point, thanks for letting me air my opinion.

If this has compelled you as much as it has me, feel free to air your comments as well.
