Ironic isn't it! These people, gay folks that is, they can't just live with their lifestyle. They have to go out of their way to cram it down the throats of those not holding to their views even though those opposed don't care what they do personally.

So these people push, and push, and push, and won't stop at simple ability to live their life in their own way. No! They insist that others not believing their views irreversably alter their own morals to suit them.

Then, when people finally start saying "Screw THIS! I'm tired of being walked over and on like a door mat", and finally do something about it, the gay activists get all bent out of shape.

It really is unbelieveable. I still say that if conservatives and those not taking the sides of activists gave back the activists half of what they dish out they'd go cowering away with their tails between their legs crying for their attorneys and representatives.

It's ironic too. The same thing has happened with smokers over time. Back in the 70s and 80s many smokers were very rude insisting on their "rights" to smoke. Personally I support that right, but when I'm sitting at a bar eating or somewhere else sitting and their smoke is blowing right in my face and it's a simple fix to move the ashtray to the other side or blow the smoke the other way and all you're met with is smoke in your face or simple apathy with no action, it speaks volumes.

Then, the pendulum began to swing the other way. Non-smokers started getting angry at smokers which is why I will hold to is the primary reason behind all of this anti-smoking movement. They got angry b/c of these "screw you, I'm entitled to my right to smoke and don't care if it bothers you" mentality. Obviously not all, but many.

I'm convinced that had the smokers not taken these positions, that they'd have a lot more friends who are non-smokers. I oppose smoking bans b/c there are really underlying agendas. But don't expect most Americans who aren't "plugged in" to realize that.

Anyway, I see it much the same with the gay movement. They can't just be happy with their own rights, they insist on infringing on the rights of others. They aren't happy with a simple recognition of their rights by those opposed even though as a demographic group they are much better off than just about all demographic groups other than from health/aids standpoints, not the fault of anyone but themselves.

At some point people say "enough is enough", I'm not believing what you believe just b/c you say so. The whole thing is just unbelieveable.
