Actually, the drive to go from tolerance, my personal position, to acceptance of Homosexuality, the official statist Federal position, is even more evidence that “we need to go”, (like we need anymore).

Yeah right. God forbid that you lived somewhere that tolerated anyone not just like you. Well begone and be damned, that's my motto.
