As if that princess Margaret wouldn't and doesn't use these same tactics herself. Yes, it's called learning to play political hardball. If you didn't want the gays emulating your political behavior you should have kept it a secret. The same people whining and moaning about "Too much gay in the media" are the same ones who do ENTIRE PROGRAMS about it EVERYNIGHT! Rush, O'Reilly, etc.... they are all obsessed with it, yet continue to insist it is "insignificant". As far as gay marriage, we have a representative democracy that is supposed to ensure protection from the tyranny of the majority! Just because 60% of people polled think something is "icky" because of some fairy tale they read doesn't mean it is a basis for law.

It's as ridiculous as the people whinging about loss of civil rights due to the post-9/11 crackdown. I mean, how exactly will it affect you? Give me one example. I'm still waiting. And don't give me some rambling BS about "It affects me and every American because the very moral fibre of this great nation blah blah blah..." Concrete examples only, please.

How about this one then: The AIDS "epidemic", brought to you courtesy of the homosexual community, is consuming a disproportionate amount of medical research dollars diverting funds from other diseases that affect far more people and cost more lives. The increased health care costs both for AIDS and for the many other illnesses that occur more often in the homosexual community than in the general population are borne by all of us through higher insurance premiums. So yes, the behavioral choices of homosexuals -- and the consequences of those choices -- do in fact affect others.
