By comparing gays and lesbians (a group, you will admit that society is conflicted over) to Klansmen, (a group you will admit that society universally abhors), you are injecting your own prejudices into your premise.

You miss my point.

Every FReeper who is reading this will find some level of depravity to which they will not descend. It may be adultery. It may be homosexuality. It may be eugenics. It may be bestiality. It may be pedophelia. It may be necrophilia. But it is down there somewhere.

Each FReeper will demand the right not to be associated with such depraved people, even if the people supported a neutral cause that the FReeper also supports.

Nellie simply wanted that same right.

You may not agree that homosexuality is as depraved as eugenic bigotry. I happen to think it is. Regardless, grant Nellie the same right that you would ask for yourself, the right of association.

Not every enemy of my enemy is my friend. Ask Winston Churchill.

Shalom.
