  1. Lets not make up our own God now based on anything this woman says here, okay?
    She is angry & bitter and needs psychological help. I'm sure those she is taking her anger out on would also have problem w/ her being molested at hands predators in churches. I blame her parent's.
    As for LGBT community she claims to support, the Bible calls that an abomination. Look up definition. It literally means disgust or hatred for. In rational terms its something that would make someone naturally want to puke or vomit at the thought of. Obviously she is so desensitized to it or decieved she'll vocally support it. Its pretty sad to watch.

  2. Let'a support the attackers! Hopefully they will bring peace to this earth by eliminating all those animals.

  3. USA, all the men behind her in the crowd who are LAUGHING and drinking water are proud gun-owners and do NOT believe in the dominant power of a woman: they are laughing at her while she's speaking the truth.
    THOSE MEN are the MAIN PROBLEM in American society, please deal with them NOW. After this meeting they're proud to harass her at her home from the shadows. THIS IS GOP-MAGA and does not need to stand for the true American Values: SHE is the Values. Free American society from religious and saturated gun-freaks IMMEDIATELY.
    Thank U, Ma'am πŸ’―πŸ‘

  4. Fixing your hair, jumping around like a jackrabbit, putting on your lackluster "theater production". I am currently suffering from second-hand embarrassment. Please just stop.

  5. I think that USA is messed up if everyone keeps shutting their mouth against these sinners who dare pretend that their dirtiness is "love".

  6. Somebody should have shut her mouth up

  7. So proud of my home state and the wonderful people who reside in it! More people do think like you in Tennessee and we aren't pagans. It's so encouraging to have someone stand up for the marginalized.

  9. Wow .. she speaks facts Jesus was so much nicer than the GOP

  10. True Jesus didn't condemn anyone, but God did burn down Sodom and Gomorrah

  11. The issue is teachers taking it upon themselves to teach their opinions when they should be teaching about financial literacy. This isn't about acceptance. It's about not allowing kids to change themselves before puberty stops. It's that simple.

  12. Opinion is not hate.
    It was Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve .
    Sorry folks but if we keep going this way the human race will end

  13. This woman is a testament to the best of all of us. Thank you for speaking up!

  14. Kids should not be near a drag show you take a kid to one they should be taken away for child abuse

  15. Thank you for standing up for my people.

  16. She def needs to learn a wee bit more about Jesus before she speaks how He would be, in my opinion. Jesus will judge us all one day, that's God's decision. I was given the opportunity to turn from sin, and I hope all people who struggle with homosexual thoughts, feelings, and actions, will turn to Jesus and know He died for all those sins and everyone who has ever lived sins as well. I struggle with sins myself, some became part of my normal lifestyle, but Jesus was/is patient with me, and will be with you all as well. Non homosexuals are no better, and they are sinners too. I love you all and Jesus loved you and I first.

  17. This lady has true morals.

  18. Finally a real Christian standing up for real Christianity!

  19. You go girl!! Dios te bendiga, God bless youβ€πŸ™πŸΌ

  20. Bless πŸ™πŸ³β€πŸŒˆβ€
