Bravo's "Workout": Episode 103

Episode 103 was the first episode of "Workout" I've seen. I really enjoyed Jackie's enthusiasm and and the dynamic of her relationships with other people on the show. Not to mention, she's a total hottie. Her girlfriend might not be my first choice, but that's why I'm not dating her.

I was immediatly tuned in when I heard what Jackie's mom had to say. While I don't necessarily disagree with her apprehension towards Jackie's relationship with Mimi, I'm totally outraged by her flagrant attitude about homosexuality. I'm so tired of people using religion to justify what is right in this world. I especially hate when religious individuals are so patronizing to say "I don't hate gay people, I just don't think they have the right to marry or adopt children," and for Jackie's mother to say she loves her, but doesn't agree with her lifestyle. That kind of statement is so contradictory and totally inhumane. Love of a homosexual daughter/son/friend and unexceptance of homosexuality can not coexist.

Perhaps homosexuals believe in a God that accepts homosexuals. After all, it's all left up to interpretation. In that case, why not let homosexuals get married... other non-christian religions are allowed to marry and be treated equally under federal law.

To you haters (cause that's what you are): Until you've shown the world that you can impact all of it's sons and daughters positivally, keep your negative opinions and beliefs to yourself.
