You are indeed “confused.” but I mean in the Larry Craig way. I learned long ago, (and clinical research has backed me up…) that those who spout homophobic rhetoric are almost always covering up their own sexual confusion. You may think you are throwing people off the trail, but I and many others know the truth: homophobes are closet homosexuals. Period.

So if a group isn't a minority…. does that mean it's a majority?

Yeah! We've won! We've finally converted enough people to be gays and lesbians!

Now about those marriage rights for those pesky minority heteros….

Yes, it's true dear. Please go back to sleep.

I'm confused. And those identical twin girls I know of one who grew up hetero and the other lesbian are telling us that you folks aren't a minority group.

Quite frankly society must change their attitudes towards gays and lesbians. Having laws might be nice and do go a long way in protecting rights, but laws do not mean anything if no one believes in those laws and does not follow them. Even though murder is illegal, the KKK (and other racists) still murdered blacks. As society became more accepting of blacks the KKK and other racists found (and are still finding themselves to be) on the “wrong” side. Changing people's “social” beliefs is a lot more effective than changing laws in situations like this. Obama is doing a good job in raising people's awareness of gays and lesbians in this country, which help change attitudes and beliefs. Even today people feel that they are “forced” to accept homos and people resent being “forced” to do anything. Passing laws without society's backing only reinforces the belief that gays (or blacks, or Jews, etc.) have an agenda that is being forced on everyone else. How many comments are on TMV where the commenter feels “forced” to acknowledge gay marriages?

Equal rights and protection for everyone is too important to rush in impulsively and get it wrong.

Heterosexuals actually BELIEVE their own rhetoric & home-taught bigotry that they are superior to Homosexuals.

This is because most Heterosexuals program this into the heads of their young children from a very young age. Actually TEACHING young children that Gays & Lesbians are less than dirt, that they are evil and will hurt them are are out to destroy the family and the world. And Heterosexuals are doing so in the name of God, no less. It is always interesting to watch Heterosexuals deny this, as 99% of Gay children are RAISED in Heterosexual households. So we know quite well and good the vile and disgusting things you 'teach' about gay people. And most of you are disgustingly wrong in your teachings. And most of you don't care that you are wrong. And that is WAY more disgusting than anything you attribute to YOUR VERY OWN GAY OFFSPRING.

In fact, if you look around, it is Heterosexuals who are destroying their own families. While trying to destroy gay families, as well via Governmental law. Abusing their children, and all of the OTHER things that they blame Gay people for but are actually responsible for doing all by themselves. Cool trick, huh? See how they did that? Blaming 3% to 5% of the population for the sins of the Heterosexual 97%. What a wonderful biological scapegoat you have used your Gay & Lesbian children to perpetuate.

All the while most of you are screaming your heads off about morality and protecting the children. Yet you will not adopt morailty for yourselves. I for one have not seen Heterosexuals doing ANYTHING to protect the children – FROM THEMSELVES. Are they out passing laws to make schools better, or even SAFER so that your kids can sit and learn without the fear of being shot? Nope, let's just pass more laws against F A G S, that'll keep our children safe! Are you passing laws that demand that every Heterosexual American lives up to the biblical demands placed on Heterosexuals? Nope, God says that doesn't apply to Heteros anymore, so we'll have 3, 4, 5 and 6 marraiges apiece, thank you very much! Because it is SO sanctimonious to us! But we'll thank you F A G S to stand aside while we DESTROY your families! God says that's A-OK!

You see, from MY view, the Heterosexual sins of abuse, murder, rape, torture, dehumaniziation and degradation of THEIR VERY OWN GAY OFFSPRING seems MUCH MUCH more immoral than MY sin of LOVE for a person with the same genetic components.

See what's happenning here? Heterosexuals are trying to take some sort of moral high-ground to justify abusing THEIR VERY OWN GAY OFFSPRING for their crime of LOVE, while Heterosexuals continue to act in the most IMMORAL of ways (abuse, murder, rape, torture, dehumaniziation and degradation) against the very Gay people that Heterosexuals themselves created and put on this planet.

Makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

Morality indeed, Heterosexuals. Morality indeed.

I don't think I agree with this statement. First: I've seen nothing but criticism toward Obama from those within the gay community, not because he's worse than any other president, but because he does talk such a good talk on the issue without actually *doing* anything. Also, the community expects more from Obama than they ever did from any other president; this is exactly what they should expect, in my estimation. I guess head-to-head, Obama has actually been better than any other president on this issue, but it's still a disappointing showing from the point of view of a group that worked extremely hard to help elect him.

Second: where else are gay people going to put their loyalties? Unfortunately, we're stuck with putting our hopes and campaign dollars either with a party that vehemently hates gay people or with a party that does nothing but at least doesn't openly spit upon the idea of gay rights.

Lastly, while it's become something of a game to the Dems to pretend to support gay rights and then slap them in the face (I'm sure you also remember the bitter disappointments following the Clinton inaguration), this fact does not mean that it's not a matter of civil rights, just that, like every other cause, it's become a pawn of the political establishment.
