I don't care if they're gay. I don't even care if they're "openly" gay. But I don't want to turn on the evening news and see drag queens in silver eyeliner marching down the damn street. I want to know what apparently makes it so difficult for so many gays to keep perversion in their house. One quick lap around the smut store will tell you that straights do some pretty wild and whacky stuff while their home. But you don't see straight people marching down the street wearing nothing but their love sling and ball gag. You don't see straight men giving little boys vagina shaped lollipops (I focus heavy on the lollipops because it's a pretty regular occurance at gay pride marches).
I don't care about handholding, and people that do need a hobby. Spit swapping is another matter all together, gay or straight keep it private. See that's the basic rule: maintain the same level of public courtesy and decency as the straight community. And most homosexuals do that and I've never had any problems with them (I hope not since one helped me get this job and is one of my oldest and dearest friends). But then the pride marches start and everything goes crazy. Here's the easy question to ask yourself: would that kind of behavior be tolerable if the title of the march were "Normal Everyday Person Pride"? If the answer is no then it's not tolerable for anybody else's march either.
I most certainly did not. You want to prohibit a certain type of public behavior by one group of people that you feel is completely acceptable public behavior in a heterosexual group of people.
What part of "equal" (as in "equal rights") don't you understand?

If you want to get a group of heterosexuals together to stage a parade where you bring your wife and your kids out in public to demonstrate the love and affection that exists in a heterosexual, married environment, by holding hands with your wife and kids and giving her the occasional peck on the cheek as you march down the street, then I think you will not have wasted your time. You will have made a strong statement to the homosexual community about 1) your beliefs as to correct and God-ordained family relationships, and 2) proper public displays of affection.
But, instead, it seems you'd rather just pass laws that put people in jail and see to it that vengeance is exercised right now.
Be an example, not a judge. "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Judgment is in the hands of God; your job is to attempt to save people before then and not to be in a hurry to convict. Whose side are you on?
