Society is changing and part of that change is a greater acceptance of homosexuals. Trying to hold back the evolving opinion of society is like trying to hold back the wind. Whether you're opposed, support, or remain indifferent about gay rights I think is of little relevance.

Here is the key to tdadams mind - he believes in what I call "social Darwinism" - because it's happening, it's inevitable, therefore it must be better and improved, and therefore we must hurry it along.

The logic of this philosophy is the same as in this situation - I'm walking along a road, I realize it MIGHT not be the right way, but because I'm already headed in that direction, I start running, and I am too afraid to stop, get the guide book, get a map, and maybe admit I'm lost or even going in the opposite direction I should be going.

This philosophy is based on the false idea that whatever is "modern" is better, that society is always evolving to a better and higher state of existence. It's related to the "science is God" idea.
