In this article some gay groups, activists and one blogger make the irresponsible assertion that violent crimes are created by people who disagree over the morality of homosexuality and dare to enforce existing law or affect future public policy (Ft. Lauderdale Mayor Naugle and Florida4marriage.org). Instead of focussing on the criminals who perpetrated these awful crimes … they blame people and groups that have nothing to do with these crimes.
It’s opportunistic of these activists to try and turn this horrible tragedy into an opportunity to smear those who oppose public sex and the same sex redefinition of marriage.
A friend of mine, who doesn’t have any “activist” involvement, said that he sees two waves toward what apparently “militant” gay activists want. The first one is to normalize homosexuality in every sphere possible. This has pretty much been accomplished. The second wave is to silence *any* dissent, opposing religious freedom or freedom of conscience by redefining it as hate speech which will in itself be lobbied to be reconsidered as a criminal act.
Along with the above example, I guess the second wave is in full swing.
I agree with the ending statement that Mayor Naugle could condemn the attacks. Whether he goes to the vigil or not, I hope he does, I do. What happened to these two young men is horrible and should be denounced. I pray that they find true justice and not a manufactured culture war campaign.
Hotel California & Life Soundtrack
Throughout my life I have loved music. I haven’t just loved music … I LOVE music. My bio Dad, before he outright disappeared, owned several bars. One of my few memories of him was standing in the middle of a dance floor (as a kid), during the day when no one else was there except the DJ, helping him to balance the music levels coming out of the speakers that were surrounding the dancing area. Even after becoming an adult, in my clubbing days, I always hung around the DJ’s and artists.
I had an ear for what was right and not. I think I got it from my Mom. She loves music too and some of my favorite memories are with her, my brother and I dancing at Granny’s house or singing in her car on our many trips across middle Tennessee.

Fitness Friday #1
I rejoined a gym a few weeks ago but this is the first full week of exercise so I just took down my weight and figured out a work out to start with. So this week I don’t have a status update.
I have broken my weight loss goal into three actual goals and I will provide percentages of how far I go each Friday along with other thoughts for the week. First update on weight loss goals will be next Friday.
However there is more to this weeks post.
