The Democratic National Committee made headlines this week with the announcement that for the first time, it is moving to include a plank supporting same-sex marriage in the party's convention platform.

It appeared to be a bit of an "in your face" to the host state, North Carolina, which just voted by 61 percent for a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage.

What you don’t understand is that many have “gay” relatives, nieces, cousins, etc. Many others want to be seen as “tolerant.” Few things have gained the popularity of the gay movement in the past forty years. Many are too uninformed to see.

That is very true and an excellent point. The problem is that while being tolerant and understanding, most of us DO NOT WANT THIS IDEA IN OUR FACE EVERY DAMN DAY!!

What people do in private is up to them, whether it involve dogs, cats or whatever, except children of course.

To POLITICIZE perversion is insane. And keeping this in front of everyone all the time is the very definition of TOO MUCH INFORMATION.

I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW WHAT GAYS SAY, DO, OR THINK.

BTW, I do indeed have a such a relative...
