The expression of homosexual behavior is repressed by social morays. I would add (to the comment mg made) that to equate homosexuality with criminality (and sin?) also illustrates a lack of compassion for the suffering of your fellow man. As it is drug addicts, alchoholics, drunk drivers, and prostitutes all share the same rights as you and I. Why not homosexuals? Let go of your hate, and your fear. Be at peace with your neighbor and do good deeds for your fellow man. Show kindness to all of Gods creatures and let judgement be His. Judge not for you too shall be.

"Gman," you show your lack of understanding when you equate homosexuality with criminality. I am sure that you want justice and rights for yourself; why would you deny them to other people, just because of their sexual orientation? "Do unto others..."

The 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 % of our population pracrticing homosexuality can force their beliefs through civil action, backed by national funding, to gain social acceptance of their choice. Their impact on me and my family ( the remaining 97.5 to 98.5 % of the rest of us) is inconsequential. Homosexuality is a choosen lifestyle. It is not genetic, there is no proof they are "born that way", in fact all physical evidence is contrary to that opinion. Homosexuality is frought with medical, physical and physicological complications, even decreased life expectancy. Why in the world do we promote this choice? How about special protection for Drug Addicts, Alcoholics, Drunk Drivers, Prostitutes. Society discriminates against them everyday! We need to celebrate their difference too!

Even if you don't agree with a "lifestyle" please respect them as individuals. The young people bussed in from Mat-Su are being taught intolerance, even outright hatred. That's sad and scary.
