sorry you went through hell as a child, because you are left handed........ and thank God your parents backed you all the way, and from what you say it has made you tolerant of the differences in others, a lesson from God well learnt.
Again i applaud you for your strength of character and thank you for your support

I have tried to write with my right hand, but it is unnatural and the results are unfulfilling.
I am sure I speak for my LGBT brothers and sisters when I say I can easily identify and empathize with your feelings.

Just like handedness and skin color, sexual orientation is just another way in which some people differ slightly from other people. Unfortunately, the small-minded have always used such differences to divide people.

I look forward to the day when sexual orientation is regarded with the same level of concern as handedness... that day will probably not occur in my lifetime, but I am confident that it will occur eventually.

Thank you again for your support, OD!

How can a dysfunctional sexual "orientation" such as homosexuality ever be seriously compared with left handedness?

Left handedness is not a dysfunction - left handed people can do everyhting right handed people can, just with the other hand

But homosexual couples can never reproduce, nor do they use their sexual drive in accordance with its true purpose.

Do you think tolerance is an important attitude?

oh, I can almost read what is being written by the people I have on ignore.

They believe that "tolerance" includes being "tolerant" of bigots and hate-filled zealots.

Which of course is the same thing as a black being "racist" because they're against white people owning them.

It's a stupid circular argument that has made it around the ole 360 about fifty times on this forum.

Conservatism: Self-centered mean-spiritedness fueled by ignorance and misguided self-importance.

Bigotry is a social disease.

Legalized same-sex marriage almost certainly benefits those same-sex couples who choose to marry, as well as the children being raised in those homes. - David Blankenhorn is president of the New York-based Institute for American Values and the author of "The Future of Marriage."

We cannot believe that you still pretend to have people on ignore!

So let's get this straight - your definition of a bigot is someone who disagrees with you?
