You said"Are you unaware of the many, many laws that have been implemented to promote "gay rights"? "

I oppose all those example that involve special rights for homosexuals. For example I oppose the recent change here in Atlanta that gave survivor rights to domestic partners but only for gay couples.

For that matter, I oppose special rights based on race or sex.

You mentioned cross dressers. I think the dress code should be the same for all students.

You mentioned "Laws mandating that schools teach "gay is good" sex ed." I would ask why are we teaching sex ed at all in public school? Public school is an involuntary rounding up of children. The mandate to do that is very narrow - for education to help the economy only.

You mentioned "Laws prohibiting any speech which might "offend" homosexuals"." I oppose all hate speech and hate crime legislation - the same laws should apply to everyone.

You said "The claim that conservatives who oppose special rights for homosexuals want big government is a flagrant lie."

That would be wrong, if I had said it. What I meant (and maybe I mis-spoke) was that laws regulating private behavior between consenting adults are big government beyond any power given to the government by the constitution.

You're kidding, right?

Lawrence vs Texas took care of sodomy laws. You're accusing conservatives like me of wanting big government but you can't provide one scrap of evidence supporting your position.

It's those who want legal recognition and protection for those who choose to practice same sex sodomy who want big government.

ANd the reason for sodomy laws was to keep it private. Now it's on streets in parades, in school displays, sex ed, ads, and so on. I don't mean necessarily being performed (although it is more and more), but it is now being promoted more and more especially to kids as normal and natural. After all, it's not against the law any more. In Massachusetts as soon as "gay marriage" became the law of the land due to two judges saying it was, the education department of MASS immediately mandated that the entire public school system now had to adopt standards equating homosexual relationships equal to marriage in every grade.

How's that for government intervention?
