I may have misconstrued central_va's comment and here's why. He quotes a snippet of my post: "human beings here, not animals, not monsters", and then begins his response with the word "No". I inferred that was a rejection of the idea that gays were human beings.

Re-reading the comment, I see that the emphasis might well have been intended to be on a condemnation of their actions (fair enough) and not on the issue of their humanity. If I misread that, my apologies; it was not my intention to deceive.

Assuming this to be true though, you may also wish to consider that not all homosexuals behave like barnyard animals. The truth is that too many do just that, egged on by the worst and most perverse influences among them. But there are many others who choose differently, for reasons of health and yes, morality.

Homosexuals who are sexually active do behave like animals. Do you believe that most homosexuals are celibate?

You might google "Folsom Street fair" if you are not convinced. These "fairs" not only include the "performers" but many, many who are there as an "audience".
