I fail to see as I have failed to see for over fifty years why someone's sexual orientation has anything to do with me. I am a latent heterosexual. I am happy that way. No one is forcing me to be homosexual. I detest the term gay as much as I detest the term straight.

I have said for years that people are entitled to their beliefs. I have also said they are entitled to shut up about those beliefs. I don't know why more people don't.

Stupidity is not confined to the Republican Party, although at times they certainly seem to give the term new meaning.

People either do or do not have rights, whether endowed by God, god, G_d, fellow citizens, people in their respective communities, written agreements, declarations of intent, etc. Interpretations of what the various agreements mean is where we appear to get bogged down. When you or I think other people do not/should not have rights, we both likely feel that ours will never be taken away from us. History has shown how untrue that can be. I used the term AH because it's a generic term for people who behave like idiots. It's too bad they get voted in, but maybe that should be a first clue.
