So if the same basis for discriminating against homosexuals (a physiological based difference among humans) could be applied to blacks or the disabled or other groups who could be differentiated on the basis of other physiological differences, then that would be acceptible. Because by your logic, discriminating against homosexuals or lesbians would be as acceptible as promoting discrimination because of one's ethnic or racial background. I'm just trying to clarify your reasoning here. larry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:163284 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
