The same reason why the ACLU supports disgusting terrorists who want to kill civilians.  The ACLU has a noble cause, but doesn't stop to look at the bigger picture.  Do people have a right to be gay?  Sure.  But they can not rape little children

it's largely due to christian hate.\n\nchristians are preoccupied with a need to hate people.\n\nfor example, the moron above named Doc seems to think that being gay is a choice, so that makes some "difference" in a civil rights issue.\n\nif that was the case, then NO conscious choice we make would be protected.  but, religion and the freedom to choose your religious preference is protected under the constitution.  it's a choice that people make and often change during their lives.  and that is constitutionally protected as a civil right.\n\nbut most morons like Doc cannot think past their bibles and their religious/christian hate for others.  and those are the truly evil, hateful people in the world.  Doc is typical of the american christian who is preoccupied with what all american consenting adults do with their penises and vaginas at home.  he probably paces back and forth at home, on his 1972 orange shag carpet, wringing his hands and sweating, thinking and agonizing about all the male penises having sexual contact with other males all over the country...maybe even right next door to him!!  oh my goodness!!!!\n\n(PS - sexual orientation is not a choice.  but the point i made above is, even if it was a choice, it must still be a protected civil right...protected especially from those who choose christianity and choose to hate others.)

I just had this conversation yesterday with my mother, what a coincidence. As someone who works in the childcare field, I feel really sad by the lack of men in this line of work. I feel that men have a lot to offer to children, especially children who may come from split homes and lack a male influence. It's interesting how people assume that about men, but not about women. They assume that men are born to be sex fiends, and women are born to be nurturers... well anyone with a brain knows that it doesn't work that way.\n\nMy heart goes out to you, I'm sure you get a lot of flack from people and that it's extremely frustrating. I remember a couple of guys in our program at school who actually dropped out, not because they didn't enjoy it, but because they were tired of being called perverts. \n\nPeople are paranoid and want to protect their children, that's a natural instinct. But assuming a man who works with children is a pedophile/molester is NOT healthy, and it makes me wonder how they're bringing up their children. And of course, those same people need to be reminded that there isn't a strong correlation between homosexuality and child molestation - male child molesters are more likely to molest little girls, often members of their family.\n\nBest Regards,\nHolly

because they're homophobic a s s w h o l e s and they think they're not men, or whatever...it's the same thing not letting gay couples get married.  everybody has a right to feel and do what they want, and i think we need to stop trying to police it!!

Your right on the money...they do support these organizations. Ignore some of these morons on here...they have no clue what their talking about...\n\nThe fact is that if the government went after PETA for supporting ELF & ALF then the libs would go insane...they are all major supporters of the Democrats.

The ACLU supports only what the Liberal wing of the democratic party wishes for it to support.\nI think the ACLU is far from being an organization that promotes the well being of all, but one that promotes the agenda of another. Namely the Democrat's\n\nThose who call the president of the USA A Nazi, must be so ignorant of who Adolf Hitler was and the history behind him.\nIf anything Adolf desired a socialistic society.  More like old Russian Communism.  How would a President that is more middle of the road, but definatly a conservitive be a Nazi?\n\nOh for the one who can't get the quote right..   It is:\n\n"Those who would give up Liberty for security deserve neither Liberty nor Security."  \nThat would definatly  fall with the Communistic Liberals.  I want and this president is trying to give back some of our Liberties that where stolen from us.  The Patriot act and the stuff dealing with it was because of a terroristic act.  Now, I would hope after the terroristic acts of a bad religion cease or is totally distroyed, then they can get rid of that act.\nIt is not this president's fault that we where attacked and we still have a long way to go to rid our country of terrorist.

I completely agree! It has its faults. I don't understand why they keep letting out these child molesters. These people will NEVER change.

They aren't Baptists, they're their own little Christian cult, mostly made up of the children and relatives of a serious nutjob named Fred Phelps. He's been doing this shit for well over a decade. A lot of the people in the church are lawyers, and they support themselves on lawsuits against people who try to ban them from protesting, etc. \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rev._Fred_Phelps\n\nThese guys ride to funerals that Phelps and his morons are protesting and do their best to keep the families from having to deal with the jerks. http://www.patriotguard.org/

I've heard that and have wondered about it quite often. I guess a lot of liberals are only generous with other people's money.\n\nOkay - I missed something - where did you say you wanted to raise taxes?!?\n\nAnd it's the ACLU that supports NAMBLA, moron.\n\nAh, I see NOBRAIN is contributing her usual intelligent tidbits. Her mommy really needs to limit her computer time.

People who hate the ACLU are those who really don't believe in civil liberties, and who would make this country more of a dictartorship than what it's already become.\n\nTHE ACLU is needed to protect our liberties.\n\nThe only way to really protect them is to ensure that the liberties and rights of minorities and those with unpopular beliefs are protected. This is what ACLU does, in many cases by defending the rights of those with unpopular views (such as blacks in the 1950's and 1960's in the South, or even Nazis in the 1980's in Chicago, for example).\n\nWe must understand that civil liberties apply to all, not only to people who think like us.

Homosexuality and pedophilia are 2 different things.\n\nOn another note, Democrats are not "pro-gay" they are "pro-equality". There is a BIG difference. It comes from the "all men are created equal" part of the Declaration of Independence. If all men are equal, then all men deserve equal rights, regardless of sexual orientation.

That's propbably when the ACLU was formed.  This country was formed on the basis of freedom of religion.  All the these organizations that think they're making it better are destroying all that our Founders fought for.  \n\nFunny "In God We Trust" is still on the money for now.  All those agencies sure do accept that money from the gov't.  What hypocrites!!!!

american civil liberties union\n\nThe American Civil Liberties Union has been defending liberty in Americafor more than 85 years. From the internment of some 110,000 Japanese-Americans during World War II to the abusive domestic spying, blackmail and harassment by the FBI during the McCarthy era, the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War, the ACLU has successfully defended the basic rights and freedoms of everyone across America when they were at their most vulnerable.\n\nBut we’ve never been needed more than today. For the past four years, some of the most powerful politicians in America have made it their mission to accumulate unchecked government power, relentlessly undermining civil liberties. In unprecedented ways, they are invading our privacy, undermining our Constitution and squelching dissent. All too frequently, they are shamelessly using the “war on terror” as cover for their assault.\n\nTime and again, the ACLU and its members have shown that we can be successful in defending freedom even in the current inhospitable climate. We have built bipartisan congressional support for eliminating certain unwarranted, dangerous provisions of the Patriot Act, and we have inspired a resounding chorus of diverse voices, individuals and community groups all across the country, calling for measures to reverse the government’s unjustified overreaching and to restore our precious freedoms.We have challenged the Patriot Act in court and won. We have squelched numerous government programs designed to spy on Americans. We have won legal victories curtailing executive power. We have defeated the first-ever federal abortion ban in court.

from a straight male. Those people that you refer to are afraid of anything, any thought, or any deed that is contrary to their own. Unfortunately, that line of thinking is shared by the mental midgets that run this country. I think that a child better off raised by 2 loving parents, regardless of their sexual preference. I support "gay marriage" because as taxpaying US citizens, gay couples should be afforded the same freedoms and protections that the hetero couples enjoy. ie; insurance dependancy, benefactor, pension, SS survivor benefits, etc...

I find, as both a member of the ACLU and a Christian, that they are perfectly compatible.  Quite frankly, the only people it is not compatible with are the highly conservative "Christian" extremists, a la Falwell and Robertson.  Quite frankly, they merely use Christianity as an excuse for bigotry and hatred.  Ironically enough, historically, those people who you and I would really identify as acting in a Christian manner are those on the forefront of the progressive movement today.  For instance, the Christians who were anti-slavery in the 1850's, or those working for desegregation in the 1950's.  The fundamentalists were on the opposite sides back then.  If Robertson was alive in the 1850's I have no doubt whatsoever that he would be pro-slave. After all, there is much more biblical teaching that is pro-slavery than there is anti-gay.
