But when they put their shameless and disgusting behavior on display in front of MY kids, they have infringed on my rights to raise my children free from exposure to their perversion

You have no such right. Only in your house.
This is not a right you have

When it gets to the point where I can't go out in public without having to look at men kissing other men or women pawing other women

Then don't go out. You don't have the right to tell adults that they cannot kiss each other in public.
This is not a right you have.

or when I can't turn on the television or go to the movies without having to see some faggot lust scene

Watch a channel or a movie that doesn't have gays in it. Watch something black and white. Watch G rated Movies. Don't watch TV. You don't have the right to tell the rest of us adults what to watch.
This is not a right you have

then they are infringing on my pursuit of happiness

Ridculuous. You don't have a RIGHT to happiness, only the attempt to obtain it.

There is right and wrong and trying to pretend there isn't doesn't change it.

Correct. Trying to make others obey your moral standards is wrong, no matter how you want to make it right.

Their behavior offends me, and it offends anybody who knows the difference between right and wrong

Big deal. You don't have a right not to be offended.
This is not a right you have.

Why'd you call your boyfriend? Two can play at that game.

Would y'all care to respond (See posts #9, 23, 30, & 55) because if I say anything more at this point, it will not be very nice and I'm not looking to get myself banned.

The Muslims will be more successful in cleaning up the homosexual mess we have in this country. Christians have been very ineffective at upholding public morality, which is one of the reasons Muslims give for their war against us, and America has become a cesspool of tolerance.

I trust now we will never have to listen to you harangue smokers or those who may happen to be on their side?

Oh- REALLY? Then why are Christians becoming more and more Christian values and symbols being pushed out of the public realm? Weather it be the 10 commandments, or a simple Cross displayed - these symbols are being removed because of fear that they might "offend" someone. If we don't have the right to "not be offended", then why the recent special considerations for non-Christians?

To be perfectly honest - all gratuitous displays of public affection - regardless of the nature of those doing it, is in bad taste and annoying at the least. The fact that homosexual couples in some cases prefer to flaunt their deviant sexuality by displaying behaviour in public that would be disgusting even if between heterosexual couples only acts as a slap in the face of anyone with a sense of morality.

I have another question for you....

Why are there laws against public indecency? If some freak decides to whip out his privates and wave them at you in the parking lot of the local mall - why would that be illegal? Answer - because such behaviour is extremely offensive. There may be some of that freak's friends who would not be offended, while others might just think it's funny. But the fact remains - it is illegal because it is offensive.

What about laws against nudity? Are these laws just random acts to keep legislators busy? No, they are to protect those who might otherwise be offended by such displays.

I subimit that anyone with a shred of morality left in their body who is not offended by such grotesque demonstrations, both in the "real world" as well as in the majority of "entertainment" venues - ie Television, then I suggest that they are either the appoligists for or are active participants in said behaivior.

I might also suggest that your leftist rantings might be better of on another unmentionable message board with the initials DU -
