Okay. Address why I should have to bear the tax burden for life-long healthcare for homosexuals who, because of their practices, have contracted AIDs, hepatitus, etc.
Address why I should sit idly by while the public schools, with my tax dollars, attempt to inculcate my children, and the children in my community, with beliefs that offend and disgust me.
That's a start.
Personally, I don't think you, or anyone, should. I don't want to either. Unfortunately, we live in a psuedo-collectivist society where our congresscreeps have passed laws forcing us to pay for other people's mistakes.
Now, you've voiced your opposition to homosexuals on those grounds... address my question from earlier. Being consistent - I know how you hate moral relativism - do you also hope to outlaw mountain climbing, skateboarding, smoking, drinking, and driving? All of those things can lead to injury and society has to pay the costs.

If it concerns you, you shouldn't sit idly by. Have you campaigned for the school board?
Until we recognize that there is more to this than all this little picking and parsing we don't gain the understanding and/or support from the uncommitted,who are the persons we most need to convince that there is a problem. Once they see it I think the facts will bring us closer to what our Founding Father's intended.
Why should any of us have to bear the tax burden to care for smokers who get heart disease or emphesema, or or for cancer treatment? Or the diseases people get from drinking to much , or eating fatty foods? Or engaging in any kind of risky behavior that puts them on disability?
The fact is paying for drugs to keep AIDS patients as healthy working and contributing members of society is more cost efficient than treatments for many other diseases.
