""Another personal side note, these political hacks want to tell us how to live our lives, what to accept, what to want, what we can say, what we can think, then get into stupid name calling, if we can see that they are just very little people, trying to hide their shattered egos, with self proclaimed 'noble' causes....when they have NEVER even raised their own kids! ...and you want to tell me about life????""

Boy oh boy, you JUST DON'T GET IT!

Nobody here has tried to tell you how to live your life.

Nobody here gives a shit about how you live, or even whether you live.

This whole thread is about trying to stop people like YOU telling others how to live THEIR lives, and depriving them of THEIR right to choose.

Incidentally, I have raised two fine children, who are at the top of their professions, with my wonderful wife, whose shoes you are not fit to shine, and I do not feel in any way diminished or disadvantaged by the presence in society of people with a different orientation.

They are welcome, as far as we are concerned, to live, love, and marry as they wish with our blessing.

I won't offend other members by saying what I would wish for you, I'll content myself with saying that you fall into the category into which I have already place your co-bigot.
