I find distinctions between embracing gay sex and embracing gay rights. I embrace gay rights. Because whatever someone does privately, in a relationship with a consenting adult, is none of my business. Not grounds to gain rights or lose rights.

And people are valuable to community, to society, to the world. And that not based on how they express their sexuality.

But perhaps they feel a greater value when they are not only allowed, but honored for the relationships they choose to give meaning and purpose to their own mortality.

Now I do not have the orientation given to practice gay sex. I do however recognize how close a bond I can have with a woman as a friend. Still, I would not ever choose to express that closeness sexually. In fact, and this is where I do not want to hurt any gay people, but the truth is, I find that to be quite unnatural.

Now before all the people that want to say gay is wrong or immoral, jump on that statement, remember, perhaps gay people find heterosex unnatural too, cos it is not within their inclinations either.

Still, I will say, for me...the only word I can think to call gay sex is unnatural.

But I will advocate for gay rights in a good many venues, with my vote, in what I speak and who I choose to stand with.

Oh Dear...........Thank you. We know that some people fill our way of life is unnatural. One of my sons fills that way,but he also knows what I have had to go through in the past 7 yrs. just to be with the one I love. He also will fight for my rights becouse he fills that just becouse I don't live the life he does it doesn't mean I should be treated like a second class citizen.
I do no wrong to anyone.I respect others filling and lifestyles. As long as they respect mine. All we want is to live our life and fill safe that we have the rights of others.That someone will not hang a noose on our door or burn a cross in our yard.The bad thing is in America that maybe the way things are going,but with people like you we stand a chance of turning this country around.I do hope someday to be able to come back home.To be able to see my children and grandchildren more than once a yr.To work and pay my taxes and complain about how much I am paying just like everyone elce.Thank you again for your support.
