...You know ArGgee, back in the 70's & 80's I worked in the Hotel Industry as a banquet mng. and about a third of our staff was openly gay. They were hard working when they were at work,(they called in sick often), acommadating and respectful of their position, which made it easy to say live and let live.
When my children became teenagers they began working at the hotel part-time which made it nice because as a single mother with no support I had to work many hours to support them.
It was then that I noticed the male gay waiters different attitude. While they we nice to both children, they were too nice to my son. Silently I watched, and when they then wanted to hang around him when he wasn't at the hotel and I was, I knew I had to sit down with my children and have a talk.
I won't go into detail of what I learned, but I wasn't happy with some of the events that took place (no physical contact yet, and it was clear my son wasn't impressed, I was lucky.
I insisted he get another job, but, shortly after that incident I noticed that my daughter was constantly asking me to sign an excuse to miss swimming class at school.
After about the third or fourth week in a row, I thought what is this childs problem, so I asked her. Guess what, the female swimming coaches were standing in the showers while the girls showered.
Her quote exactly " It's scarey Mom, they watch the whole process, undressing, showering and redressing", then added, "I can take the winking in the hall as I pass by, but not them staring at me while I am naked.
Live and let live, not anymore, more like give them an inch, and they take a mile. Don't tell me they are not after children, they were after my children and that was twenty years ago.
I would not tell you that.
They are diseased, and the result of a diseased society. I don't know if there is hope for America, but I don't intend to sit back and pretend nothing is wrong and that we just need to "let them marry so they will clean up their act."
It's not a matter of letting others do what they want. It's a matter of destroying evil before it destroys us.
Shalom.
