Good response as well. I agree 100% with your comments. This is where we have a huge problem. Even those of us who for liberty’s sake would protect the privacy rights of two consenting adults in a private home are being duped by what appears to me to be a homosexual agenda to not only gain and secure rights but to undermine all institutions that don’t openly promote and support those rights.
There is almost a subversive or retributive aspect to the struggle. It is not enough to secure rights, others must be dragged down as payback and with that payback comes this “in your face” flaunting which is both immature and counter-productive. The result for the gay community may be more situations like Proposition 8 in California.
In that case, I believe there was a backlash. I believe the larger body politic looked at it and voted for Proposition 8 so much to say, “Hey, we didn’t mind you getting your rights but when you put your ‘gay parade’ morality up our noses 24/7, in our schools and on our streets...I individually will not be the one to deliver to you 100% of what you want.” The whole vote seemed to smack of spite as much as any base moral arguement by many.
And for that vote, the gay community can blame the Mormons or the Catholics or whomever but the last people they will examine is themselves and their own obstinant behavior in the streets of Los Angeles and San Francisco.
So, you see, you and I share common ground on this one.
I think we do...it is difficult to have civil disourse on this subject, as many people on both sides can get pretty emotional about it.
