Sounds like a good approach, Joe.

But as for some third world countries, I have a friend (actually, one of my wife's cousins) who traveled extensively in the Far East, and he said that there were a couple of countries (I believe he said that Indonesia was one of them, but I can't be sure) where the government, concerned about the population explosion in the area, had a campaign going trying to encourage a percentage of the population to become homosexual.

But since homosexuality is not something that, no matter how "socially conscious" one is, one can simply "volunteer" for, they weren't getting that many takers.

(Hmm. Seems I posted that same thing way above some time back; it's getting to where I can just cut-and-paste from my own posts!)

". . . if you don't let these folks expose themselves for the bigots that they are, and if you don't let folks see the fallacies in their arguments, then you are acting out of fear that good people of honorable intent won't make the right decision." Exactly so, Mike!
