Santo Domingo East.- Dominican Republic’s only Cardinal today called those who approve of same sex marriage “hustlers,” who consider that attitude as something normal.
Nicolas de Jesus Lopez Rodriguez said, “it’s not the same. It’s a lie. They are hustlers.”
In an energetic tone, the prelate railed those who favor legalizing gay marriages, affirming that same sex couples have the right to establish formal relations is not true and criticized the lawmakers who’ve voted for that type of relation.
Lopez Rodriguez, speaking during the inaugural of the Youth and Family Integral Training Center (CEFIJUFA) on the Samaná highway, rebuked those congresses which have approved those unions with the category of marriage.

It's all about human right... everyone should have the same rights to get married. marriage is suppose to be about love, not religion. The intolerance of the cardinal is not surprising, b/c catholicism and evangelical churches may preach love, but they are ready to damn you to hell if you don't adhere to their dogmas and traditions. The words dogmas and traditions are carefully chosen!
According to christian teachings, God gave women and men free-will in order for them to voluntarily chose "right" from "wrong." If that's the case, why do people like the cardinal try to impose their version of "right" on people? where's the free-will?
I accuse people like the cardinal of inconsistent morals and hypocrisy in order to justify a value-laden and partial vision of reality. They then use their privileged position, and monopoly over means of communication, to portray their partial views as "normal" and "legitimate."

From: Dominican Republic, vieja Santo Domingo
I am totally in favour of marriage ..between two sexes and the same sex as long as both people are in love with each other and as long as it stops promescuity which I think is the cause of many problems
The pursuit and the attainment of love and happiness where love is both given and received in equal doses is the most important thing in the lives of most people so why should the church , whose leader , Jesus spoke constantly about the need for love , oppose any bonds of love.

@Watcher
Just b/c some people may opt to get married (whether hetro- or homo-sexual), it doesn't impact your ability to get married to anyone of your choosing! and I appreciate that you have strong believes based on the bible, but there are others w/ similarly strong believes in other principles and philosophies. How would you like if they imposed their values on you?
We need to have some intellectual humility, and while one may believe to know the Truth (with capital "T"),, we need to also acknowledge that there may be others who may have similarly strong views that may differ from our version of Truth. What we need to do is have respect for others as long as the others have respect for us.
There are many more believes, issues, and principles that unite us (and that we can work together on) than divide us! i.e., pol corruption, malnutrition, extreme povrty & inequality, environmental problems, lack of effective public services, high crime, school drop out, infectious dise

I am not in favor of gay marriage, and believe homosexuality is a deviant abnormality. However between consenting adults in private is harmless. However the Christian Bible is very clear on the matter. Homosexuality, even cross-dressing and long hair is an abomination in the face of God, punishable by death and eternal damnation.
Still this atrocious, hypocritical multinational corporation has no moral authority what-so-ever to tell anyone what to do in these matters. Butt out, Cardinal!

Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes, because the leaders of the Catholic Church are often times ones who act the least Christ-like. It's so sad that they devalue love, peace, goodness, and benevolence just for "purity" or? "their twisted hypocritical perception" of what is right. For example, what happened in history, centuries ago, where the Catholic church would burn cities and people who did not follow their twisted beliefs.

Marriage is not about love, or about sex, or about religion. It's primary purpose is to protect the welfare of children. Its second purpose is to safeguard the interests of the parties. It is a legal contractual agreement, and a demonstration of acceptance of responsibility. The reluctance of Dominicans to accept responsibility for anything is illustrated by the vast majority of parents not actually being married. As the state has some responsibilities towards the welfare of children too, then they are worthy witnesses and parties to the agreement. The church is not.
Homosexuals as yet can't produce children however the second purpose of marriage may be valid. Still there is not the disparity in earning-power or level of dependence that is typical of heterosexual relationships.

Well this is what the Catholic Church used to do the the butt of homosexuals to save their mortal souls, with the Judas Cradle.
This torture device is a pyramid shaped seat. The victim is placed on top of it, with the point inserted into an orifice, then they are very slowly lowered onto it. The condemned was usually naked in order to add to their humiliation. This device was thought to stretch the orifice or to slowly impale the person. The stretching of the orifice would cause pain, rips and tears, which would eventually cause death.

Marriage among other things is a legal contract used to quarantee property rights and other legal rights is perpetuated and appropriately transferred within the arrangement. I dont see why specifically marriage will necessarily function within a framework homosexuality meant for heterosexuals. Marriage was not designed for them but they want it that way. If the transfer of property rights is of a concern among them, there are other alternative contractual agreements that can be devised. Please consult a trusted attorney. If the purpose instead is to express a commitment of love, who said you need marriage to do that?

What people do in the privacy of their home is their business. To legalize gay marriage is forcing society to make it the public's business. NO on public gay marriages and NO to turning our couples (normal meaning) and family oriented tourism into a decadent and deviant homosexual destination. Wasn't Haiti such a destination and wound up wth the largest percentage of aids in the hemisphere? Aids hasn't been cured. It is still prevalent in needle using drug addicts, homosexuals and because of their complacent attitudes towards homosexuals, many Haitians. We would lose tourist from many countries in favor of the International Happy Hoardes. That would make me give up my nationality.

26-For this cause God gave them (meaning us, again) up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27-And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly ( may I add "unseemingly DISGUSTING?), and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

It is all about Biblical scripture, since that is the authority the Christian churches rely on.
However many Christians are unaware of the fact the Bible was compiled from a collection of anonymous documents by the Catholic Church at the Council of Nicea in 325, to suit the purposes of the church, and the empire. It has worked incredibly very well for the church. Not so well for the empire.

We can argue about morality and religion, however historic fact is just that. You can speculate as to what was in the mind of the dozens of anonymous authors of the documents that comprise the Holy Bible, but how it was compiled is not debatable. It is historic fact.

Alright, I'm coming out of the closet!.. I'm a lesbian trapped in the body of a man! I love pussy and ass and I don't care who knows it!

With Jesus on their side, why should the Vatican seek recourse in the courts - have they no faith in His power and justice? Yet they tell us to trust in Jesus and pray to his virgin mother and everything will be okay.
"Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?"
Matthew 6:25-26
To gay sympathizers keep your deviant practices to yourself and we won't have any problems. This abnormality ( it is nothing but) is between you and God. I don't need to know about it.
25-Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26-For this cause God gave them (meaning us, again) up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27-And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly ( may I add "unseemingly DISGUSTING?), and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
It is all about Biblical scripture, since that is the authority the Christian churches rely on.
However many Christians are unaware of the fact the Bible was compiled from a collection of anonymous documents by the Catholic Church at the Council of Nicea in 325, to suit the purposes of the church, and the empire. It has worked incredibly very well for the church. Not so well for the empire.
We can argue about morality and religion, however historic fact is just that. You can speculate as to what was in the mind of the dozens of anonymous authors of the documents that comprise the Holy Bible, but how it was compiled is not debatable. It is historic fact.
If you want to know what happens after death, look at some dead things.
By the way, some of us chose not to be buried. Donating one's body to science saves on funeral expenses for your descendants, and may just be useful.
Why should gays be exempt from institutionalization?
