I wasn't asked, but my biggest problem with gays is that I DON'T need to know all about their intimate sexual preferences. None of my business and I don't like them to shove it in my face at every opportunity. Gays have tried that! Being quiet about it didn't work. Being open about it has worked great for equality. Look at all the progress we have have made towards equality. Back in the days when gays were in the closet, who could have even mentioned same sex marriage without laughing? Nobody's laughing about it today.

And that is how many of my generation were brought up. My parents taught me not to discriminate between white and black, etc., but no mention was ever made about gays. I had to learn that prejudice by myself. I was probably brought up in the same generation as you. I am 63. It's the natural thing that people tend to do when they don't understand something that is not second nature to them. [/color] Even left handed people had such problems at one time. But everybody is different in one way or another, It's usually those who have trouble accepting themselves that have problems accepting others for who they are. Nobody is "normal" (whatever that is) in every way possible, we're all individual humans. But IAC, all people should be treated equally, except those too young to know what's good for them and those who are criminal. That's pretty much what our 14th amendment says. It neither says "except gays" nor "except for the marriage laws." Nor does it mean such."The only normal people are those who you do not know very well" -Anais Nin -Don Quoteman
