I have ZERO WAY OF KNOWING if a person is homosexual unless they intend for me to know -- and that is not the case with race, and may or may not be the case with disability.

Good point. Often missed. The homosexual community used to argue that folks should stay out of their bedroom. It's their "privacy." (For the past 15 years or so, they've constantly been bringing their bedroom into the workplace & everywhere else)

Thank you, Colo! I feel like such a lone voice sometimes; nice to know that I'm not alone. This whole "gay rights" thing is neither about homosexuality nor about "rights." It's about open homosexuality and denying the rights of free people to peacefully reject it in their business, social, and private lives.

For example, parents have a God-given right to discriminate against openly gay men as leaders of their kids' Boy Scout troops; Mitt Romney is one who would deny them that right. Zero rights are bequeathed and essential rights are DENIED when it comes to "gay rights."
