I wish the headline would be more accurate, not all GAYS, many are living quiet lives, they do not protest, they have no agenda, and they want to be left alone. My nephew is gay and he never even talks about being gay. He tries to keep it as much a secret as he can, he doesn't want to be beaten up and made fun of. He lives in quiet obscurity as do his friends. It is the gay activist group who pushes this stuff, not all gays. I know several gay couples and they live quietly, and they don't go to protests or marches. They quite simply want to be left alone. I know one gay couple who has been together 35-40 years. Longer than most hetero marriages.
Sorry to hear about your nephew; hope he finds his way out of that — which is the hope that the "protestors" want to hold up at the "gay" rallies, evidently.

I visit gay pride here in CR Iowa every year to see if I know anyone there. I almost never do. The ones who are out and in our faces seem to drive from Iowa City, the liberal mecca of Iowa. So I agree, quite a few gays are in the closet and not drawing attention to themselves.
O h pulllleaaaaze.
GAys make a stand and a plea for homosexuality, quitely or not. That in itself shows what kind of begging threatening behavior it is. And yes, homophobia is justified.
End of story.
I take it you are not religious, then.
In general, homosexuals who keep their homosexuality a private issue are accepted just fine by others, even if it happens to 'leak out.' It's the in your face, "you must find what I do acceptable" kind of people that cause the problems.
What's interesting is, after shoving this in your face, these same individuals revert to whining 'It's none of your business."
It wasn't my business - until they made it my business.
I have seen your comments before - implying or stating that most "gays" are not radical homosexual agenda pushers. While I doubt that a majority of homosexuals are the quiet, monogamous, buttoned down, beige wearing, Republican voting, non-"gay" agenda promoting (and by inference, non-"Gay Pride" Parade attending and non-Thailand/Philippines visiting) homosexuals, I am sure there are some.
My problem is that even if there are many such conservative, non-"gay" agenda supporting homosexuals, why do they not speak out against the politically destructive agenda of their brethren? The only one is Tammy Bruce, and to some extent, Camille Paglia.
As for the rest, there is a deafening silence. Kind of like the good Muslims who don't support jihad against the rest of the world. Except there are more moderate Muslims speaking out against their fanatical brethren than there are moderate homosexuals speaking out against *their* radical brethren.
My parents were married 41 years (it ended only due to my father's death) and I have a host of aunts and uncles who have been married 40 or more years, including one uncle who has been married 52 years. Let's not diminish hetero marriages.
My nephew is gay and he never even talks about being gay. He tries to keep it as much a secret as he can, he doesn't want to be beaten up and made fun of. He lives in quiet obscurity as do his friends. It is the gay activist group who pushes this stuff, not all gays.

I wish the headline would be more accurate, not all SADS, many are living quiet lives, they do not protest, they have no agenda, and they want to be left alone.
My nephew is sad and he never even talks about being sad. He tries to keep it as much a secret as he can, he doesn't want to be beaten up and made fun of. He lives in quiet obscurity as do his friends. It is the sad activist groups who pushes this stuff, not all sads.
I know several sad couples and they live quietly, and they don't go to protests or marches. They quite simply want to be left alone. I know one sad couple who has been together 35-40 years. Longer than most hetero marriages.
All Homosexuals look sad to me not gay.
