Five Reasons Why Gays Need Their Own Cemeteries
Last week, The GA Voice reported that Atlanta’s Crest Lawn Cemetery is creating a separate space for gay people. An LGBTQ cemetery was built in Denmark in 2008. As the acceptance of queer lifestyles becomes more widespread, we will be increasingly confronted with how we should allow them to live their lives–and how to treat them in death, too. Should those in the LGBTQ community have their own cemetery? I, as a God-fearing Christian and reformed homosexual, support the idea, and here is why:
5. It’s efficient and a great time saver. If you and your congregation are anything like me and mine, you know just how hard it is to navigate today’s cemeteries. Meticulously scanning tombstones and monument inscriptions for any evidence of homosexuality or other forms of ungodly sexual deviance is very time-consuming and takes away from our ability to save souls. While we can do nothing to save the already Hell-bound deceased, having a special area cordoned off for rotting homosexuals will allow us to better target surviving members of LGBTQ families with God’s message of love when and where these people need it most–at the site of their homosexual loved ones’ resting place.
4. It’s a good attempt at strengthening the moral fiber of our country. This country is suffering. Our moral fiber needs serious bulking as we have become painfully constipated with sexual permissiveness and gender role clusterfudgery. Our collective rectum bleeds from the hemorrhoids of godlessness! Creating a LGBTQ-only cemetery space is a laudable and exemplary effort on behalf the cemetery owners to separate the departed based on their most unforgivable earthly sin: that of loving someone of the same gender. The LGBTQ-only burial site can be of great educational value to our youth who are so in need of consistent, truthful messages about God’s plan. Field trips to this and similar sites can help children understand the fate that awaits those who choose a homosexual lifestyle: death.
3. It’s good for our communities’ ecological health. Keeping sick people separate from normal people, even in death, may seem harsh to some, yet it has been practiced by advanced civilizations for many centuries. The spread of Ebola and cholera epidemics, for example, have slowed by the careful disposal of remains from infected people. Keeping the ill and otherwise morally weak quarantined (both while they live and while their wayward sinning bodies prepare to meet Satan) has been proven to be an effective barrier against the transmission of disease through soil and water contamination. By tracking where homosexuals are buried, we can be proactive in maintaining the safety of our communities and families. Unchecked homosexuality levels in water have been known to activate the Gay gene in some lab experiments with mice. Let’s not let that happen here with our drinking water.
2. It’s God’s will to keep homosexuals separate from heterosexuals. Some people among us have been tricked into thinking we are all equal and God loves us. They believe He wants us to love each other without reservation. But He is very clear on hating homosexuals. Leading an out LGBTQ life violates His laws of order in His kingdom. If He wanted us to be homosexual, He would have made us homosexual. It is therefore imperative that we keep homosexuals separate from others in life–and in death, too, for good measure. When is the last time you saw a Gay lion buried next to heterosexual God-fearing, family lion? Hard pressed for the answer? You should be: it’s not natural and doesn’t happen! In nature, the Christian lion smites all non-believers and punishes those that transgress against God’s blessed laws of heterosexual union.
1. It’s a pre-emptive strike against reanimated gay corpses. Before my parents legally immigrated to the United States through available channels unlike many border-criminals today, they lived in a remote Central American village. For Gays, those confused people who lied down with other people as people do, acceptance among the villagers was rare. (But, two towns over, those who practiced homosexuality were considered two-spirited and had a special standing.) Persecution of Gays was the norm. When caught, they would be buried alive by village churchpersons. Folkloric songs and tales have been told about those whose desire to love another of the same gender is so strong, it trumps even death. They have been known to rise from their graves, searching for the nearest nightclub. While not widely reported on in the United States, this Gay zombie phenomenon has been observed in other places throughout the globe. If we can keep Gays cornered to their own areas in cemeteries we will be one dance-step ahead of those that choose to rise again.
Let us pray the Lord’s protection against those who would do us and our God-fearing lifestyle harm, specifically the two-spirited and Gay zombies. Amen.
Have a blessed day!

Interesting article, although your name is a little ethnic for this forum.
I received a twitter about Rachel Maddow concocting a “Corpse Reviver” which included drops of Absinth, also referred to as “green fairy”. She then demands the entire office take part in this gay communion in the video.

Isabella did not send him to the West to explore. He was merely able to obtain funding from Spain first as he failed at gaining guaranteed funding from other monarchs including those in Portugal and England.

One, I’m a female.
Two, by 2002, 36 states had repealed their anti-homosexuality laws; any remaining laws were invalidated by the 2003 Supreme Court decision reached for the case Lawrence vs. Texas, wherein Texas’ then-standing sodomy law was struck down in a 6-3 decision. The majority held that intimate consensual sexual conduct was part of the liberty protected by substantive due process under the Fourteenth Amendment. The decision had the effect of invalidating all other standing sodomy laws.
“I am an Americnan Businness owner and I reserve the right to refuse seating to people who upset the customers.”
You aren’t a business owner; you’ve stated yourself that you are a manager at a McDonald’s, and are therefore subject to their rules regarding conduct.
If your customers are visibly upset and complain to you regarding the couple’s conduct within the restaurant you manage, while in the restaurant, then yes, you may refuse seating to them. However, you cannot refuse seating to a couple based purely on their sexuality.

I don’t really care. I’m agnostic. If homosexuals are all going to hell (if such a location exists) based purely on their sexuality, then fine. It’ll be a blast.
But, as I’ve yet to see any proof as to whether hell and/or heaven exist or not, I can’t say that I know or even care.
I do, however, remember that gluttony and sloth are among the Seven Deadly Sins. Since you’re in such a hurry to die, and are trying to achieve that goal by neglecting your health, I guess you’ll be in Hell, too, if it exists.

When I attended church (many moons ago) we were taught that the NT and Jesus death on the cross nullified the OT.

“Yes and no. Republic yes, nation no. Unifying constitution, but not same laws. States have the ability to make their own laws.”
The individual states do have the right to make their own laws, provided that those laws do not interfere with the laws and Constitution of the nation itself.
Why should states be allowed to make laws against people based on their sexuality, something that is, for the most part, practiced in the privacy of one’s own home? Why should a homosexual couple fear to be caught holding hands in public, but heterosexual couples allowed to hug, kiss, and have other public displays of affection without fear of anything worse than a possible lecture from another person?

That is a double edge sword RD.
You are expecting the federal government to protect you from a state.
However what if the federal government wanted to make something illegal that you and your state wanted legal? Like gay marriage. We both know that one of the reasons gay marriage fails in so many states is because of nationwide influences on those states. Look at prop 8 for example. Money was flying in from all over. I’m all for states doing their own thing, I am worried about my own state.
You would then be pro state. For example: if we had a less powerful federal government and more powerful states, we probably would not be in the Iraq and Afghanistan messes.
Stares rights vs federal government is a really complex and deep issue.

Agreed. It’s a complex issue, and one that I am not the most well-versed on.
I identify as a Libertarian myself. I am not a fan of the Democratic or Republican parties, and prefer to vote on issues on which I am knowledgeable or well-informed. My father and I have held many long discussions regarding such things as the legalization of marijuana, something that, while I have never (and likely will never) tried, I believe should be legalized. Legalized, marijuana growth and distribution could be regulated and taxed, providing the government with a source of income (much like how, in some states, liquor sales are regulated and taxed by the government). It would also lead to less crowding in prisons, especially since, on its own, marijuana only makes a person more relaxed and slothful.
Same-sex marriage does not affect anyone other than homosexual couples and their friends and family. On a historical level, marriage has evolved over time, and is not a solely Christian rite, especially in this day and age. It is something that states should decide on, however, it should not violate the rights of homosexual couples in this country, the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, something guaranteed in our Constitution.

I don’t recall that article. But I am worried about reading it, based on the title, as Hitler did many horrible, terrible things.
I’m glad we agree on the topic of drugs and gay marriage. I just think that, as gay marriage is not harming anyone (but, rather, allows a couple to confirm their love and commitment to one another in an official, legal fashion), it should be allowed throughout the country. I am eager for the day when I can marry the woman I love in my own state. It is only the bureaucracy that makes me upset with our country. Bureaucracy and incompetence.
For instance, when the Republicans were elected to the House of Representatives this last year, they ran on platforms of fiscal conservatism. Yet, in mid-April, we see that the only bills coming from the House are bills regarding social policy, bills regarding things such as defunding institutions receiving money via Title X, or bills attempting to redefine rape or make a woman unable to obtain an abortion. In Wisconsin, we see workers stripped of their collective bargaining rights, rights that have allowed workers to argue for fair pay and compensation. Those are things that frustrate me.

Oddly enough, I would have preferred Hillary Clinton as president. My entire family supported her. My stepmother was even the representative for Mrs Clinton for our district back in the primaries. Still, things will be as they are.
I’m rather upset by the enormous deficit in our country. People my age will have to pay it off, when it has been left to us after the horrendous spending of such figures as George W Bush.

Susan and other harebrained followers,
I would like to inform you that your article is ridiculous in every form of the word. It is unfortunate that you are so narrow minded and prejudiced that you cannot think rationally. Post reading each and everyone one of your comments, I find that a level of insanity has overrun your conscience. You clearly believe yourselves to be God-abiding, compassionate Christians. You are wrong. You have transformed the idea of God into a spiteful and unforgiving greater being. I myself, am a Christian who believes in God. But it is a God that is both loving, and accepting; for no matter our wrongs, he has paid the price for our forgiveness. If any of you well-informed Christians had taken half as much time as it took you to write your invalid and foolish statements, you would find yourselves embarrasingly wrong. As research proves that most homosexuals are born with the tendency. The rest are abused, and/or sexually harrassed into a homosexual lifestyle. What you need to wrap your mind around is that it. is. not. a. choice. I pity each of you. Why? Because as you condemn others to the burning pits of hell, with insensitive and malicious tongues, you are in truth, condemning yourselves.
Sincere regards,
Caitlin
