Little Hawk says: So, it's a complex subject, John. Your question does not address it in a relevant manner, but is crafted to presuppose something (that the people you are disagreeing with on this thread are "sick"). As such, it's a useless question with no good intentions behind it in the first place.

One of the points here is that it is not a complex subject. I disagree that my questions doesn't address it in a relevant manner. It's really simple to understand: They shouldn't be involving themselves in what other consenting adults do in bed. I'm not crafting a question to presuppose anything -- I really do think these people are kind of sick, and if you take all references to homosexuality out of the discussion, most other people would think so, too. I suppose maybe one intention behind the question is to try to bring the anti-gay folks some of the public disapprobation that they have spent so many years bringing to others. OK, you're right, maybe that's a desire to punish them. But I see myself more as an agent of the Golden Rule.

As I said before, the main cause of my strident tone is that I'm really sick of putting up with people who want to impose their beliefs on others.
