[concerned about politics]

I tend to reserve the term evil for people who do things like rape, murder and fly airplanes into skyscrapers.

......teach tolerance along with their fisting "internal anal probing" classes in public schools, start friendly little clubs like NAMBLA, try to adopt because their unatural lifestyle can't breed , like dogs can't breed with goats, fecies injestion, AIDs..........

I find those behaviors and the in-your-face-lets-brainwash-the-children examples as offensive as you. My only point is that the "appetite" for those sorts of things are by far not universal in the gay community. Not one gay man I know (single or otherwise) wants anything to do with adopting kids, and most are frankly put off by the "indoctrinaire" (sp?) approach taken by the more politically active types. Sadly, as with many groups, those that simply just want to live their lives and be left alone get tagged with the same labels as those who seem to have to define their exisistance by an element of their being as opposed to their accomplishments or good works.

Let me be clear. I find gays that stuff their lifestyle and bizarre behaviors in my (and society's) face repugnant and offensive. But for the record, I feel the same way about anyone who, for example, behaves as if their ethnic group/religion/whatever gives them some right to act holier than thou to the rest of society. And that goes as well for straight men (like the idiot sitting on the patio of my local pub last night) who couldn't let a woman walk by without describing in detail what he wanted to do to her. Idiots and self-important fools come in all shapes and sizes.

My central point surrounds the two gents in question because I know them. I would not be defending this position if it were a case I had no familiarity with as I could be defending actions that I would normally oppose.

Thanks.
