My fiancee’s best friend is an older lesbian woman. Salt of the Earth, conservative, handy-woman, etc. She was raised Catholic and votes Republican. She does not, however, believe that she should have any rights with her partner like a heterosexual couple should.
I look at her like many of the Liberal Jews out there: self-loathing but content with their lot, and apparently many homosexuals think that way. To them, it’s more of a burden to bear than a right to practice.
