I hate to get into a point by point discussion of policy for every situation. That could get very tiring. But I think common sense is a pretty good guide. Serve on your school board to keep it out of the schools. If you know of a place that attracts gay cruising, ask your police chief or mayor if the local public indecency laws are being enforced.

If you live in a large city like I do, you probably have gay pride events. That's part of living in a big, diverse city. I accept that. But those events are usually announced publicly in advance. If you have kids and don't want them to see that, just plan a weekend getaway or be sure to steer clear of the place where it's being held. I don't have the right to demand the public parks be clear of anyone I disapprove of, but if they're having some event one day or one weekend a year, I can live with not going to the park that day.

It just doesn't seem that contentious to me.

After plowing through 150 of these back-and-forths the best that I can say for you is that you are the most brilliant and persistent idiot that I have ever encountered. You have been perfectly dismantled at every turn, yet still you flap hopelessly for a lifesaver.

Here's a thought- you know that homoeroticism is wrong and bad. Just admit it and say that you'll still do it anyway. We all do things that are wrong. It doesn't make you any worse than the rest of us. It would make it so much easier to take you seriously. Just say what we all know and be done with it.

How does one do that in CA when there is a state law mandating that homosexuality be taught in a positive manner K-12, parental notification is a sham, and even if a parent is able to take their own kid out of the homo-fest, all the other kids are being indoctrinated? Being on the school board will do no good at all, other than being a lone voice that gets drowned out to no avail. There are many other examples but how about this one?

This seems contrary to your stance as a libertarian. My rights stop where your rights begin correct? Why should my right to use a park with my children (which I paid for may I add) have to be infringed by people performing public sex acts (an activity which I think we've all agreed should be confined to the privacy of their own rooms) And please note that if you say anything to them about it they will initiate force against you.

The right of freedom of assembly does not include the right to copulate or fellate in public.
