from bobad:

I don't see much evidence of those forms of sexuality being quashed, in the western world anyway, these days,

In the last major national round of elections in the US, ELEVEN STATES passed ammendments to state constitutions denying same sex couples the CIVIL right to marry.

This is in addition to about the same number of states who had already decided that "only the right people have rights" by ammendments to state constitutions or in state laws.

The ammendment to the Kansas State Constitution that was passed was almost a verbatim transcription of the Nazi 1936 "Declaration on Racial Purity" which denied Jews the right to marry Germans, except that it goes the additional step of denying homosexuals and lesbians the right to marry anyone.

How quashed do you want them to be?
