Excellent point Mark. But I find it terribly difficult for people to
protect our children from "homosexuals", call them perverse and so forth.
Then when someone turns around and tries to stop the hate, everyone calls it
a "Gestapo maneuver". I don't try to push my opinions on others. I just
think my attempts here are more aimed towards it just being another news
item, and it not publicly blasted across my bandwidth!!!!

Nate, are you looking at this as a "gay" issue? I believe it begins at a
more
fundamental level. The 14th Amendment to the US Constitution provides for
EQUAL
protection under the law, not greater protection. The 1st Amendment
provides
for freedom of speech and association. You're free to try and persuade
people,
but you can't legislate morality. It must come from within and every
individual
has his own philosophy, whether he knows it or not. I like Alexander
Berkman's
words, "No opinion a law--no opinion a crime."
Accusing people of belonging to the Moral Majority because they have
preferences
unlike your anothers is puzzling to me. I don't mind gays, but why do I
have to
hear about it all the time? If it's truly about wanting equality, good, but
if
it's just mere lifestyle promotion, enough already. I'm not pushing my
beliefs
on others and I'd appreciate reciprocity.

worse yet, to avoid trouble.
