Readers debate whether ‘queer’ helps or hurts our community
by The GA Voice readers   
January 07, 2011 00:00

Re: “Why our ‘Queer of the Year’ is now our ‘Person of the Year’” (www.thegavoice.com, Dec. 28, and discussion at www.facebook.com/thegavoice)

"I think I’d rather be called queer than gay. I’m not really sure why; I’ve just always liked the word better."

"The definition states strange, unusual, etc. There is nothing strange about me. There is nothing strange about us as a group."

"I embrace being queer."

Are you listening, Democrats? This gay voter says ‘never again’
by Mike Canfield   
November 24, 2010 00:00

To the editors:

I voted for Roy Barnes for governor holding my nose. Literally. I walked in to the booth knowing Barnes was posing as a Democrat who: 1) Did not stand with the president when the president visited Georgia; 2) Promised to work to repeal healthcare reform; 3) Stood opposed to marriage equality.

I voted for Mr. Barnes simply for the reason that I believed he would not be as bad as Nathan Deal.

Never again. I shall never cast a vote for someone who does not see me as equal and deserving of all the rights and protections given me as a birthright. Never again.

Gay mega-church pastor draws praise, condemnation
by The GA Voice readers   
November 24, 2010 00:00

Our coverage of Bishop Jim Swilley’s recent decision to come out, with the support of his wife and family, touched off vigorous debate in comments on our website.

Re: “Swilley’s story: A gay pastor, his wife, and a deeper ministry” (Nov. 12)

"This article is articulate, sensitive and wonderful. Thank you for writing it with the Spirit it deserves. These people are my friends, my church family and leaders and I love them. God bless you."

"Thank you. I miss my church family and my work in youth ministry so much. Since I came out I have felt abandoned by a faith that I proclaimed my whole life. I needed this today. I never doubted that God loved me until a Christian told me that he didn’t anymore."

"Since Jim has memorized scriptures, he thinks that he is ready to “take on” anyone. Sound familiar? The devil quoted “it is written” to tempt Jesus in the wilderness. Problem is, he twisted scripture to obtain his own desire, which was to have Jesus Christ bow the knee to him. The devil hasn’t changed: still doing the same thing today, leading people to twist scripture to justify the desires of the flesh."
