Travelista: Honey that was a nice thought though but sadly enough I don't. It's time the real truth be told. Yes he sure can speak for himself, but you used " gay rights movement" if he chose nastiness, that's him, but when u associate the way he chose to act to gay movement in a negative term, u would expect someone to react to some notion. Like I've always maintained, I firmly believe on the founding constitutional rights; equality for all regardless of sexual orientation. |

philip0906: Dude u can call me whatever u want, I did not say killing everyone, people in U.S. history have died for "just cause", so if I do, I still maintain, I have at least two people coming with me. This is an individual fight and not religious nor socio-cultural so leave all those groups out of it. If u decide to attack me to kill me, yes u would succeed, again what makes u think u would leave alive or at least without a scar? You right, Nigeria and America are not the same, America has tools, equipments and teach you to be more of a defender than offender, and a good one at that, where as Nigeria doesn't. Let alone if I'm both; defender and offender, I wouldn't be afraid to die. |

manny4life: You believe in the founding constitutional rights? Are you sure? Is it the same original constitution only gave voting rights to White, male property owners and counted every Black person as 3/5 of a person? There's no mention of sexual orientation amongst those founding rights and, if they had an idea about the brouhaha that would erupt over marriage 2 centuries later, those same founding fathers would have spelled out marriage as between man and wife. Equality for sexual orientation only became a buzz phrase in the past 20-25 years, so again: what founding rights are you talking about? As for the comment I made about DP's nastiness, there are some that see gays as sexually aggressive and he's playing right into that stereotype. Instead of wasting your time with me, why don't you talk to your boy and ask him to tone down the crassness and stop being a caricature? |

philip0906: I sure don't know you just said, I sure don't speak French; but if u translate, that will be good. I've always maintained a liberal view on homosexuality and anyone not happy with my view sorry but certainly not a ground for violence. |

This thread is still going on An amendment is a change or an addition to the constitution. If a group of people feel that the constitution is hindering their right of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness", they have the RIGHT to protest. No, homosexual orientation pertaining to marriage is not part of the original constitution, but that can be changed. |
Re: Gay Nigerian Activist Bisi Alimi Shares His Compelling Story by manny4life(m): 12:34am On Aug 13, 2010 |
Travelista: Do you really want me to give you a brief on constitutional law? When the Declaration of independence was proclaimed as evidence, it was "all men are created equal under the law, thus, have certain rights and privileges amongst them are life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. I can continue to go on if u like me to and bring u into the bill of rights and equal protection clause as well. Now thats the rights I'm talking about. Although you are right about sexual orientation, however, its a common right actually first amendment right to express freedom of speech. Now when our founding father established our rights, they did not mean strength not "sexual orientation", however, our founding fathers were seeking a committed government that would guarantee equally to all individuals under the rule of law and security for liberty under the law. Now when you have a government who has refused blatantly to be "equal under the same law" by not extending federal benefit which everyone is entitled to just because they labelled "gays"; Massachusetts vs United States, read the merit briefs, you would see why I say equality under the law. |

manny is too gbaski bro u know ur onions and sound reasoning is usually in the minority and that is why people are referred to as geniuses. u know nigerians love the sound of their own voice but unfortunately turn off their thinking or processing faculties when talking. that is why we are a country of plenty words with extremely few results to show for it. |

LESBIANS!!!! |

Manny4life is gay. |
Re: Gay Nigerian Activist Bisi Alimi Shares His Compelling Story by Nobody: 12:43am On Aug 13, 2010 |
bgees: Not every pro-gay right is a gay or lesbian. |
Re: Gay Nigerian Activist Bisi Alimi Shares His Compelling Story by Travelista(f): 12:43am On Aug 13, 2010 |
manny4life: Manny, stop while you're still ahead. You, of all people, aren't capable of schooling me on anything, let alone constitutional law (*snort*), when you claim that the original constitution spoke of equality for sexual orientation. The men that the Founding Fathers were talking about as having been created equal were White, male land owners. I even mentioned 1 Black counting as 3/5 of a person; on what planet does that indicate equality amongst men? FL_Gators already gave a basic primer on rights and subsequent amendments; I suggest you read what she wrote and keep your smarm away from me. |

Ileke-IdI:and not everyone that opposes it is a closeted homosexual. |

Re: Gay Nigerian Activist Bisi Alimi Shares His Compelling Story by bgees(m): 12:44am On Aug 13, 2010 |
Ileke-IdI: well , he seems too pro-gay to be straight. |
Re: Gay Nigerian Activist Bisi Alimi Shares His Compelling Story by philip0906(m): 12:44am On Aug 13, 2010 |
manny4life:well,it means ~worthless death is evitable. . .its left 4 u 2 choose~ |
Re: Gay Nigerian Activist Bisi Alimi Shares His Compelling Story by manny4life(m): 12:45am On Aug 13, 2010 |
kushe: No I'm not, just have a "strong" liberal opinion about gay issues. |
Re: Gay Nigerian Activist Bisi Alimi Shares His Compelling Story by Travelista(f): 12:46am On Aug 13, 2010 |
Manny, why do you keep going back and editing your comments? You're original comment was nothing like what you have posted now. |
Re: Gay Nigerian Activist Bisi Alimi Shares His Compelling Story by Nobody: 12:46am On Aug 13, 2010 |
bgees: Me, I just loff arguing , and I think same can be said for many4life. . . . maybe that's why he's really into this. THE AMAKA:Nobody is arguing that |
Re: Gay Nigerian Activist Bisi Alimi Shares His Compelling Story by manny4life(m): 12:47am On Aug 13, 2010 |
Travelista: I was not editing, you know when I write, I'm used to writing very well, so when my English is wrong or doesn't convey my opinion, I have to rewrite it again but its still saying same thing |
Re: Gay Nigerian Activist Bisi Alimi Shares His Compelling Story by manny4life(m): 12:49am On Aug 13, 2010 |
Ileke-IdI: Why I'm so into it because a co-worker of mine has been a victim of so-called gay bashing which still pisses me off. Now from the beginning, I said I work in a diverse environment, I have gay co-workers and they really nice people and although we have conflicting opinions, I guess we still work together. |
Re: Gay Nigerian Activist Bisi Alimi Shares His Compelling Story by Travelista(f): 12:50am On Aug 13, 2010 |
manny4life: Try again. You added new text to your original post which goes beyond basic editing, so don't try and BS me. |
Re: Gay Nigerian Activist Bisi Alimi Shares His Compelling Story by manny4life(m): 12:51am On Aug 13, 2010 |
Travelista: As for the adding part, yes I was adding to my original post, to convey my point. I mean I can write a page long, full or my written argument, but not everyone will be delighted to read it u know. |
Re: Gay Nigerian Activist Bisi Alimi Shares His Compelling Story by Nobody: 12:52am On Aug 13, 2010 |
manny4life: Ok. I get it. I understand the fear of everyone on this thread. Yea, it first the thought of homosexuality might be revolting. But this are stillyour everyday people who chooses to practice homosexuality in their own way. Like I said, as long as they're not invading my privacy, they can do whatever they want. |
Re: Gay Nigerian Activist Bisi Alimi Shares His Compelling Story by philip0906(m): 12:53am On Aug 13, 2010 |
Looking at Manny's replies,I just can't help but laff.He seems just 2 cool 2 be gay.Or maybe its a ploy 2 win us over(which is impossible) |
Re: Gay Nigerian Activist Bisi Alimi Shares His Compelling Story by manny4life(m): 12:54am On Aug 13, 2010 |
Travelista: Hey I wasn't teaching you, you know quite a few people who are Americans without knowing simple foundations of american law which is often referred to as constitutional law. When law enforcement stops me, and begins to tell me crap, I know my rights, and in a nice manner, I will invoke my rights so if the officer is doing something wrong, he would know that his dealing with a "colored individual" who know his right" |
Re: Gay Nigerian Activist Bisi Alimi Shares His Compelling Story by manny4life(m): 12:58am On Aug 13, 2010 |
philip0906: Look I'm not winning anyone over. For some good reason, this happens to be a hot button issue/topic for me, maybe one day, I will run for senator/Governor maybe seek appointment in govt fields, and if I don't have a firm stand, I will fail, |
Re: Gay Nigerian Activist Bisi Alimi Shares His Compelling Story by Beaf: 1:03am On Aug 13, 2010 |
