Quote:
On the "pro" side for gays:
* There are openly gay people serving in Congress and in other offices at all levels of government.
* There are highly-respected actors, musicians, artists and other high-profile people who are openly gay, and seem to be doing just fine.
* There are prosperous gay people everywhere.
* Even in the region in which I live -- which is by most people's standards the backwater of redneckville -- I've met several gay people who seemed to be doing okay, and had jobs that anybody in these parts would feel lucky to have.
| I believe you could say the same things about African Americans. Do you think they have an (unnecessarily) rougher time of it than white American? *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance. "I would gladly give in to socialized medicine, gun control, higher taxes, etc. if in return homosexuality would be made illegal (exception for cute girls making out) and vigorously enforced."
(ask yourself: is this the statement of a healthy, well-adjusted, normal guy?) |
