I used to be very tolerant of homosexuals. I didn't agree with their lifestyle, but I believed that, if they wanted to live that way, who was I to object. I wasn't discriminatory or condescending to them, and I knew quite a few over the years.
But in recent years and particularly after reading an article like this, I am getting increasingly fed up. Their attitude and behavior about their sexual orientation is disgusting, and I am not talking here about the sexual behavior itself. I'm talking about their ramming it down other people's throats. They are losing far more than they are gaining with this approach.
They have managed to take a reasonably tolerant person, me, and turn me against them and alienating me completely. And I am sick to death of hearing gay this, gay that, day in, and day out. I can't be the only person who feels that way.

I think you said it all, myself, I'm am and was the same way. I've always known and felt that homosexuality is wrong from moral and scientific reasons, but hey, "as long as you keep it to yourself, in your own homes, while leaving the basic foundation of our society intact, and so on, well, so be it." Generally, I'm still that way. However, as you pointed out, due to recent events, I've felt the radicals have declared war on us and if we don't fight, we will lose. Even if you say something that mildly disagree with their point of view, they'd came down on you like a ton of bricks. Who knows, in the future, they could be sending all of us to "Re-Education Camp XIII" to be brainwashed.
So, you're not the only one where it feels like "Mom, bar the door, Evelyn, get my M-1 Garand! Looks like we are in for a seige." B-) B-P

I couldn't agree more. I used to have a very tolerant attitude because I thought it was mutual. What I have come to discover in recent years is that the radical gay agenda doesn't just want to agree to disagee, they want to force me and the institutions I belong to to agree with them. Enough.
