What does going "back into the closet" entail, precisely?

Quit proudly proclaiming that for which you should be ashamed.

Are you saying that we should simply be discreet, but otherwise we should be free to pursue happiness as we choose to define it?

That would save you and the rest of society alot of grief and trouble.

Or is this like some sort of national, "don't ask, don't tell" policy?

You all insist on telling when nobody wants to hear it, whether we like it or not.

OR does this mean that you get to pass laws against the sorts of sexual behaviors that you don't like? Or what?

It means we get to pass laws, as we have always done in America, against that which is destructive of our civilization and our society.

I mean, why should your "version" of the world be privileged over anyone else's? Please advise.

Why? You are too blind to see anyhow.

Yuh-huh. This is precisely my point. And this is why you are no different from any mullah or gay rights activist. You have a version of truth; you believe everyone else's behavior is "destructive to our civilization and society"; and you want to impose your vision on the rest of us using the power of the state to do so.

Good luck with that.

I, on the other hand, search for other solutions, solutions in which people are confronted with options and choices instead of edicts delivered at the points of bayonets. Freedom is difficult and messy and people do not always pursue lives or lifestyles that we would prefer them to pursue. But freedom is worth the cost.
