Homosexual relationships are objectionable mainly due to the health risks which come with homosexual practice.
I dont care in the least what Don T, Don Frith,Lox,Tia,or any of the "feel good sisterhood think of me...

I have read all they have to say on all the Homosexual threads, and understand that they see this matter as a political issue.
They have no real interest in Homosexual wefare, or in addressing the obvious health problems encountered by homosexuals.
Their only interest is in winning a political point; and it is a complete waste of time attempting to engage them in any sort of constructive discussion"

What is objectionable about homosexual relationships that is not objectionable about other sexuality and practices? Am not sure if I am numbered among the "feel good sisterhood" but I can say that I have no political agenda whatsoever with this thread. The thread was and has become about supporting homosexuals with humanity and fairness. That is not political. It is about treating everyone with the same rules and respect... until they prove otherwise they do not deserve it. I am as interested in homosexual welfare as I am in the welfare of all other human beings... the homosexual tag makes no odds to me. It has no validity in my thoughts and treatment to all genders and sexualities. The PERSON matters. As to people's sexual habits... well this has been done to death but I will repeat once more that ALL sexualities play their part in promiscuity and sexual risk taking. If we are going to make excluions based on a single kind of sexuality, then I consider it to be prejudiced in the least. Singling homosexuals out will not change the statistics for other sexualities.

As for constructive discussion, in the main, this thread has been highly constructive by many despite it being destructive by some. What I have find refreshing is that, as far as bigotry and hate goes, it will get short shrift from the majority here. That shows great hope for the future if catters are the example for the general populous. Death is no trivial matter for any group of individuals but if I am going to get animated and campaign for their health then it has to be an 'across the board' health warning and service for everyone.

I'm happy to be a card carrying member of the liberal minded, feel good sisterhood, if I need to be labelled by those who see it all diferently, but in fact all I really am is an open minded individual who has no axe to grind with anyone who has never done me any harm. Live and let love, I think I said way back at the start of this thread.

Christmas is rapidly coming... is "Good will to all Men (and Women to be inclusive, liberal and fair ;-)   )" to remain some distant dream?
