Isn't this just two consensual adults practicing their sexuality in which they had no choice as to their desires.<BR/><BR/>Herein lies the issue, once sexuality is accepted as not a choice an individual makes but something someone is born with, society has no means to address sexual issues of any kind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1148304496101189992006-05-22T08:28:00.000-05:002006-05-22T08:28:00.000-05:00The problem is once sexuality is deemed not to be a choice but an innate condition, what do we tell the polygamist or even the pedophile. It is not their choice that the pedophile has the sexual attractions that he does. Would you tell the pedophile it is okay that he is a pedophile as long as he keeps it in the closet or doesn't practice his sexuality? We are wasting thousands of dollars locking up pedophiles if I use your logic to accept homosexuality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1148301922909276922006-05-22T07:45:00.000-05:002006-05-22T07:45:00.000-05:00They are not allowed to call you queer, but you are allowed to called them bigots. Hypocrisy is what it is. Where is the "sacred right to free speech" you argued for in an earlier post. Please be consisent and if you are going to call people names, expect that you may be called names in return.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1148252267686440572006-05-21T17:57:00.000-05:002006-05-21T17:57:00.000-05:00I wonder, Anonymous, where do Lesbians come from?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1148180467891699942006-05-20T22:01:00.000-05:002006-05-20T22:01:00.000-05:00Agreed Linda--1:50 anon represents the faulty logic of these No Special Rights bigots.Gary R.

Thank you for pointing out how hurtful, debasing and demeaning comments such as those made by the religious extremenists can be. <BR/><BR/>Clearly "Anonymous", who posted that queers are made not born, seems to think (s)he speaks for God.LPerduehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05628362664340328791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1148151017910997092006-05-20T13:50:00.000-05:002006-05-20T13:50:00.000-05:00Queers are made, not born. An overly aggressive father, strong male peers, outside queer contacts. no father in the home et al. If God had made them there would not be such admonitions against queers in the Bible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1148086783094147042006-05-19T19:59:00.000-05:002006-05-19T19:59:00.000-05:00Very well done Gary you were huble in your response.
