Appeals Court to Decide Fate of Prop. 8 on Tuesday
A federal appeals court is expected to rule Tuesday on the constitutionality of Proposition 8, the 2008 ballot measure that banned gay marriage in California. Regardless of how a three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decides the case, its ruling is very likely to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which could decide next year whether gays and lesbians nationwide have the right to marry.

I am a transexual…U of MN PHS program. Met my LDS/Mormon partner of 31 yrs at BYU. Changed my gender in 1993.
I cannot tell you, looking out from the inside of myself, how crazy rejecting Gay Marriage is. The agony of rejection. The stupidity of Churches teaching cruelty to family members. Marie’s 32 year old son is great, we are all close. He thinks hate-thought is inimical to evolution, obviously. Consider this:
3.In the translation of the Holy Bible from the Ancient Eastern Text, the Aramaic of the Peshita, which is what Christ spoke, and famously translated by George M. Lamsa, who is bi-lingual at least, This is what Jesus ACTUALLY SAID. Matthew 5:22:
4.“But I say to you that whoever becomes angry with this brother for no reason is guilty before the court; and whoever should say to his brother Raca (which means I spit on you) is guilty before the congregation; and whoever says to his brother YOU ARE EFFEMINATE is condemned to hell-fire.” The associated footnote is [Aramaic: brutish, abnormal]– the gay colloquial slur in Aramaic, to this very day.
5.This is a famous Biblical translation, because Christ taught in Aramaic, and this man knows Aramaic.
6.The worst to me, who wanted to be a pastor when I grew up, is that the Church scholars actually know this. All or most of them have to.
7.And while I was born with birth anomalies, I am not more worthy to walk in this culture than gay people…I was only perhaps luckier.
This is a genetic issue. Pure and simple. Please people, pray with me on Tuesday!
Thank you for hearing me, with all my heart!
