Ake:

There's nothing compassionate about any of your statements here. You are so confused about cause and effect, and your own emotions versus matters at law, that you are hollering from way off the mark. I'm sorry, but it is true.

Here's the point: CIVIL rights are a separate and distinct matter from love, hate, approbation or revulsion. Your states of affinity have NO bearing. Medical statistics have no bearing. Religious convolutions have no bearing.

What has a bearing is evidence at law concerning the equality with which peopkle are treated by others, or lack of it.

That is the only thing at issue here--the equality of civil rights.

The OTHER issues you raise are matters for a DIFFERENT discussion, not a matter of civil law or civil rights for a minority.

(You are equally misguided on some of them as well, but I say that with the sincerest respect!! :D)
