And anyone who thinks, much less publishes that 23% of America is gay NEEDS a psychiatrist. That being said, gay exists, and gay citizens are entitled to equal protection UNDER THE LAW. That does not make them equal to non-gays in EVERYTHING, just under the law. I golf, but I am not EQUAL to Jack Nicklaus. I invest, but I am not equal to Warren Buffet. Likewise, a strictly lesbian couple is not equal say in reproductive capability. I think the supports of gay rights tend to merge the concept of equal protection under the law to equality in general, which is simply a myth, just as it is with equality among straights.

Dear Guest: Just for clarification from a personal perspective I believe in the religious philosophy of hate the sin love the sinner. There are many lifestyles in America to which I disagree and can not relate .
I do not like the fact that five unelected judges made a decision to dismiss the definition of marriage as being one man and one women a definition and belief that has been handed down generation after generation since the beginning of time and for logical and natural reasons .
I don't care what people do in the privacy of their bedrooms but I do not like it displayed in public.
Finally again the goal of the gay community leadership is to erase gender completely: To wit the transgender movements in schools, the military etc
The attempts to eliminate all pronouns that identify gender . Because if you successfully eliminate the definition of a man and a woman well the what's left ? and what differences does it then make in your choice? Radically progressives intellectualize themselves into stupidity ( ie they always en up going overboard and deluding themselves)
Personal Best Regards:
