Little Hawk,
Uh, duh . . . most of what you say in your last post seems staggeringly self-evident. I have to admit that one of my hot spots is people who ought to know better displaying bigotry, so I get a bit of a warm fuzzy when I see other people complain about it too. Of course there are gay activist jerks, just like there are racially bigoted black activists and sexist feminists. How not? But I must admit that I'm having some trouble seeing the relevence of your observations to the present conversation.

Do you really think that anyone in this discussion has leaped to defend every issue connected to a special interest group just because they have decided that a liberal person would do so? I haven't seen that happening. Could you be more specific, or else refrain from throwing such vague comments around?

Your last paragraph starts: I really have no strong opinion on whether or not gays should raise children. Do you have an opinion about whether or not they should be legally barred from raising children? That would be a little more to the point.
