Frankly, I doubt very many conservatives would give much thought to those who practice homosexuality at all, if they weren't actively pushing their agenda in the political arena. But since they have chosen to take that path, they have no reason to whine when those who oppose them take exception.

As to your thoughts on health-care expenditures, you make some good points.

Folks push for their rights and self interest in a democracy. The propostion that homosexuals should not advocate and agitate for what is important to them in a democracy strikes me as odd. What other groups are on the proscribed list? Of course, some modes of advocacy are more effective than others. I suspect you are suggesting that homosexuals advocating anything particular to them will/has backfire(d). That of course is wrong. One doesn't secure favorable policies to their cause by being silent, much less in the closet. Not in a democracy.
