I would relabel it rather as something that would take a position against discrimination in the work place on the grounds of homosexuality, which is as it should be. The heading as it is is probably overkill and blown completely out of proportion of what is intended.
That is kind of funny. Christianity was under attack way before Obama came on scene. As for the Impose Homosexuality, I have no worries there. I do wish they would pass laws for fair treatment for homosexuals. But they seem to want to pass laws for "special" treatment in some cases.
Example. There are 3 people that work in my bank that I just don't want to deal with. All three are white. One of those three is gay. He makes Nathan Lane look like Newt Gingrich. Him being gay does not bother me.( Remember my son/daughter-on-law). But he just overwhelms the whole area. He is in every conversation with everyone and bouncing around. He is just irritating not only to me, but others. But because he is gay the bank seems afraid to "say anything" to him.
I don't know about laws, i think i'd have a different way of going about it, but i do agree with you.
I agree with sexual liberty - so people are free to choose their own romantic partners. Obviously, i have a vested interest here. So i don't think there should be laws restricting people from choosing a same-sex lover. Equally, there shouldn't be laws restricting men or women marrying within the same sex.
I certainly don't agree with priveleges. I rant about the priveleges of the ruling classes all the time! What sort of a hypocrite would i be, were i to demand priveleges simply because i have a predisposition to be attracted to other men? Surely this is just as bad?
Ultimately, if there is freedom in the matter, then there is equality before the law. The onus then is on society to accept people that are "different". Equality is not achieved artificially, through legislation, but through social change.
Once again we find something to agree on.
You know I never really knew the depths some of us need to go to find what we are all about. When my son-in-law came to me last year and said he was going to live as a woman I had to dig deep in me to say "I will try". Heck 7 years earlier he had come and ask me how I felt if he married my daughter. I still wish if he was a woman he had left us out of it. My daughter says man or woman this is the "person" she married. And she takes her vows seriously. She still has rough days with the change, but they are together. And he says he is "not gay". He/she is "transgender". They were here last night and gave my wife a computer for Christmas and took two of mine for an update and tune-up. I have talked to him/her on the phone several times this week. So we still get along. To be honest I don't like the makeup, bra, and outfits. I am an old white guy who really is trying to learn and grow in a very fast changing world for me. Probably will never get to where I should be. But am putting in the effort.

I often say that we'll aways find something to agree on with everyone. But we'll always differ on others. I very much hope i don't ever find anyone with whom i agree on everything. The world would be an incredibly boring place if we all thought the same and agreed on everything!
No matter how different people may be - we're at almost opposite ends of the spectrum - we'll still find something to agree on. And it does happen, every now and again.

He/she is still the same person. All the time, as i grow up, i encounter things i don't unerstand. Or at first, misunderstand. So i have to learn about them. Things change all the time, and i have to accept them. Though i don't have to like them, of course. As new things occur, i will form new opinions on them. My opinions on everything change. For example, i used to be a moderate! Which is difficult to imagine, now. I also used to be a Christian. So i also subject my old opinions to critical analysis, as well.
I hope you have years and years to work on those opinions my friend. You may even get a few of them right with a little luck.

Doesn't look good. They seem to me to be going left.
I am not going to hold that against you. We all have our reasons for our opinions. We can only play the cards we are dealt in this old world. And I think if we do the best we can that's all we can do.
I better watch it or I will go into an old man's ramble.
I take my hat off for you Dodge, you really must love your daughter very much!Probably will never get to where I should be. But am putting in the effort.
I agree completely with you. I used to live in Vancouver BC for a while in the Westend, and the part that I did not like about homosexualism is when they have to have a special convoy and celebration of homosexualism day, I just hate it when they feel they have to make a statement, as that works right into reverse for me. For rest I have no problem, until someone starts to act out like your guy in the bank. For that matter, I would probably be equally irritated by any other gender who acts out like that.
