[.....Although, the biggest problem I see now is that the Texas law says HOMOSEXUALS CAN'T DO THINGS THAT HETEROSEXUALS CAN! Do you understand the words I am saying?....]

Oh yes. I understand. But, you see, I have never recognized the gay rights movement as a legitimate civil rights movement, like that of blacks.

The gay rights movement seeks to confer "rights" on actual behavior that people can control. But the racial segregation laws punished people, not based on their behavior, but on the color of their skin. There is a HUGE difference.

What was truly outrageous about racial segregation, is that all blacks, no matter how they behaved, were treated as second class citizens - without any exceptions.

White gays never had to endure that. A white gay man could conform to standards of behavior expected from heterosexual white men, and he was accepted. We never had any difficulty accepting Rock Hudson as a Movie star in the 1950s.

But blacks faced a color bar that was so severe, that no amount of wealth, behavior, prominence, or talent, could overcome it. Sammy Davis Jr. performed in big 5-star hotels in Las Vegas in the 1950s, but he was not allowed to sleep in those exclusive hotels, unlike his performing partners, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Davis' wealth and fame meant absolutely nothing to the racial segregationists of the time. Have the white middle-class gay activists ever faced anything of the sort?

Homosexual acts constitute behavior that people can control, and people can change from heterosexual to gay. There are many ex-gays, who have publicly testified to abandoning their deviant lifestyle.

I oppose the whole concept of "gay pride", because deviant behavior is nothing to be proud of. If anything, homosexuality should be viewed as a shameful act like masturbation, and people should not be proud of their maturbatory skills. How would a "masturbation rights" civil rights group be received?
