Hate.
I see a light at the end of the tunnel, Roscoe. According to recent polls, the majority of Americans are as much against this as you and I. The number seems to be increasing. It is sad to see though that this bashing is not only done in drunken rage at bars but also from the pulpit. And politicians still try to use it as a wedge issue.
Friggen Politicians thats why their are more jokes about them being underhanded than even car salesmen are… 😈
Makes you feel sick to your stomach doesn’t it. 😥
Who gives a crap what you do in the privacy of your own bedroom? As long as you’re a good person, THAT is all that should matter.
I think one of the reasons why we’re seeing so much fervent hate for gays right now is because so many people are coming out in support of gays. I think the haters know they’re losing the fight and it’s making them go even further out of their comfort zones in one last giant grab at power. Even Ted Haggard is in support of gays nowadays (after getting outed from the closet himself of course).
If we can just stand strong with our gay friends and support them through this death rattle of the old mindsets, we should be able to turn the tide for good. Just as the whites had to march and protest with blacks during the civil rights movement, it’s up to us to care enough to stand with our gay friends and demand their rights.
I think we can do it and I think we are doing it, but we can’t get complacent for even a moment.

Why can’t people just live and let live? Nobody should be judged – EVER – by another person. I will be glad if this world can ever get to the point where someone’s sexuality is not important, not announced and does not matter to other people. Love takes the higher ground. :love:
I think those same people who want to discriminate ought to be considered a hated disease, and be removed from office.
