I fly out to San Francisco tomorrow and need to have my fundraising minimum met by Saturday afternoon. It seems I’ve hit a bit of a wall in my fundraising; please help me out, $5, $10, maybe more with monthly giving. Anything I can’t raise comes out of pocket and even $500 is tough for me now. Help a brother out in his quest to end the tyranny of AIDS!
tumblr has lost its mind.. they're actually giving stuff away though.. at tumblrtreats(.)com
AnonymousWhy is this the only anonymous mail I get????
Wow. Y’all have been so generous, I can’t believe it. I’m only $500 away from meeting my fundraising minimum. I’ve raised almost twice as much as I raised last year. I’m so appreciative. But I need people to dig just a little deeper. The fight to end AIDS is crucial, particularly among communities of color here in Los Angeles and up in San Francisco. I need y’all to either help me a little more with a donation or by passing this message on. Help me meet my minimum and help me do more to end AIDS.
3 days to go! I know we can do this!
Though no one would ever think of using the term honor violence (we reserve that descriptor for brown people who live somewhere else, motivated by religious something-or-other or tribal something-or-other), one-third of women murdered every year in the United States are killed by their intimate partners. In 2005 that amounted to 1,181 women, or three women every day. To put that in perspective, the UN estimates there are 5,000 honor killings every year in the entire world. 5,000 in a world of 6 billion versus nearly 1,200 in a single country of 300 million. In other words, a woman in America runs a greater risk of being killed by her husband or boyfriend than a woman in Pakistan.

Leviticus 20:13:
If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
Nice try, Colbert.
Leviticus was written approximately 1400 years before Jesus’ birth.
Nice try, artemispotter.
Old Testament =/= New Testament. Seriously. Also, Leviticus also commands you to learn the Torah, which, if you’re getting Old and New confused, you clearly haven’t.
Not to mention the other ridiculous laws in Leviticus (and Deuteronomy, as well), including the following:
- No mixing of different types of fabric
- No having sex with a woman on her period
- Curse your mother or father? You must be killed
- Disabled people cannot worship God
- Stubborn children should be stoned.
So…. still want to argue how valid the OT is?
Also, in the Bible!=Jesus said it, anyway. Even in the NT, there are a lot of people who aren’t Jesus giving their opinions.
Truth.
Only if the words are in red (in many translations) does it mean that Jesus said it.
FWIW, the apostle Paul and I would not have been friends. Mortal enemies is more like it.
Hey, guys, remember that one time when Jesus declared Levitican law irrelevant?
The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
-Hebrews 7:18-19.
Having been Jewish for, you know, ever, I am endlessly amused at the Christian Right’s reliance on Leviticus. Even I, who didn’t understand the theological difference between Catholics and Protestants until I took a course on Christianity in college, knew that Jesus was totes anti-Leviticus.
Seriously, people…
