Nessie, you are right when you say that how others live their lives is their own
business, and I completely agree with you. I think what ANY two consenting adults do
with themselves is perfectly okay, and support their right to do so. That does not
mean I have to agree with it.
As far as acceptance goes, I don't know what I would do, but certainly there are
better ways that outright antagonism in order to achieve the ends they desire. I am,
incidentally, all for homosexual partners having the same rights as "straight"
partners, ie; health insurance, survivorship, marriage, etc. I believe that the
"mainstream" heterosexual community would be more supportive of the cause of
homosexuals who wish to have the same rights and respects that they possess if they
were not confronted by the aggressive, disruptive (and hate filled- towards Hetero's)
rhetoric and in your face attitude of SOME within that community. Conversely it would
also be true to say that for any group. Isn't it safe to say that the radicals in any
group tend to color the impression of the group as a whole (look at Seattle and the
"riots" there)?
Of course we cannot ignore the fact that there is an agenda being played out here as
well.

CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths,
misdirections
and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with major and
minor
effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said,
CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
