Man Gone Down

current connection

 

This is one of the most shocking things I have ever read. A firefighter in Washington was fired because he sent a Christian e-mail to some fellow fire fighters using the fire houses computer. He explained that it wasn’t like he could just walk over and talk to everyone all together they have 10 different fire stations and 3 different shifts.

 This man, Mr. Sprague, had served his city for 17 years! He had put his life on the line for others for 17 years, and to think that they fired him because he was contacting his other Christian fireman, that really disappoints me.  "The emails, Sprague said, were sent only to the 46 members of his fellowship and no complaints had been received." "Never had been disciplined in the past,” Sprague said. “Everything seems to revolve around those emails and the Christian content.”  There is absolutely nothing wrong with, in your free time at work, communicating with your fellow group members no matter what group that is.

     This firefighter was fired because of a Christian e-mail he sent to men in the department that were in a Christian fellowship with him. Nobody was harmed by these emails, so why in the world was he fired? There weren’t even any complaints from anyone who received the emails.

     Honestly I’m worried about our country. Where having Hero’s losing their jobs of 17 years, because of personal beliefs. If that man wants to send emails concerning on when his Christian group should meet up or how everyone is doing that should be perfectly acceptable.

Gay is not The Way

Gay is not The Way

                This past weekend Governor Jerry Brown of California, signed the new law that will ban the therapy aimed at turning gay kids straight. This new law will only prohibit the efforts to change the sexual orientation to patients under the age of 18. This will take full effect on January 1^st, 2013.

                In interviews it states that patients who underwent sessions had tremendous results. In my opinion this is all extremely stupid. I believe that if a child is gay, as in, he or she likes the same gender, then it should not be anyone but that child’s parents decision whether or not he or she should get treatment for their issue. Being gay is a big deal in today’s world. That child that stays gay his or her whole life will grow up being called mean and hurtful names. Such as; fag**t, qu*er, hom*, the list goes on and on.  I know this for a fact. I’ve seen gays get treated badly and it’s just not fair. I wouldn’t know firsthand because I have never had anyone close to me turn out to be gay “knock on wood”, but I can imagine it to be a rough path to go down.

Jamey Rodemeyer, a 14 year old boy from Buffalo, N.Y was a very gay child. He had been known to be gay for as long as his friends can remember. It is said “Jamey had been tormented for the past 12 months by cyberbullies who made disparaging comments with gay references on his Formspring account”. They said things such as, "JAMIE IS STUPID, GAY, FAT ANND [sic] UGLY. HE MUST DIE!" one post said, according to local reports. Another read, "I wouldn't care if you died. No one would. So just do it :) It would make everyone WAY more happier!"

What I’m getting at is it makes no sense for this Governor to make these sessions illegal. If children are gay and they know that they are gay and they want help that should be perfectly acceptable. Hopefully after January first children seeking help will find another solution.  Maybe if young Jamey would have gotten some treatment he would still be among us…
