I have no idea what you are talking about, frankly. Homosexuality "more" normal than heterosexuality????? Not sure where you got that. I'm saying it's not about rights, or normal...it's about "icky". I really do think that is it. There is no other explanation for why other minorities are protected classes, and yet homosexuals are not. I used to be opposed to gay marriage. I ate up and regurgitated all of the same arguments from the religious right and others who oppose gay marriage. I don't remember who it was, but someone asked me to strip away all of that junk, strip away the world and all of it's trappings, and picture two people of the same sex, standing alone in a vast emptiness....and ask myself why I would oppose those two people being married? My answer? Because....it's.....gross! And that's when I had my epiphany. It's the ick factor. Pure and simple. Religion simply institutionalizes our feelings and rationalizes them as "sins against God". And man...that ain't right. -- No matter how close to yours another's steps have grown In the end there is one dance you'll do alone ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:326403 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
