The problem here is that you've been conditioned to think of gay as
equating with S&M and other fetishes, which are certainly not
exclusive to the gay population.

You assumptions are so moronic.... and what you don't know about me is
so abundant, I won't even go there.

Let me just say that an IN-YOUR-FACE gay march in DC, replete with
plenty of fetish regalia and open sexual (kinky) activity ruined a
family museum outing with my son and sent us into a rapid retreat from
the spectacle. I'm all about the freedom of adults to express
themselves any way they (in a consenting manner) wish to privately
express themselves.

Forcing it down other folks throat has earned them a well deserved
"down" from other folks... including the lesbian, gay, transgendered,
and straight.....

Well then, your assumptions must be moronic too, eh?

.
I'm not ASSUMING anything.

You weren't forced to be there.


It was THE PUBLIC. People are supposed to act in a CIVIL manner in
PUBLIC. They didn't.

It was on THE MALL..... it ruined EVERY family's chance at a day at
the museums.... it was WRONG.

I wasn't forced to be there.... WE were forced to LEAVE.

It was an unfortunate occurance. No one was forcing their lifestyle
or beliefs on you or your kids. That's baloney and you know it.


Oh.... fine. So I get to explain to an 8 year old why one woman is
dragging another around by a dog leash. Adults G/L/T/S could
reasonably act the way these folks were acting at the local swing
club, but not in public and not in front of kids. Tell you what, you
take your kids and grand kids to the local gay bar for fun.... I'm
headed to Chuckie Cheese with mine.....


What was happening went right over your 8 year old's head. You could
have swept it aside in a moments notice by telling your kid that they
were play acting and just having silly fun. Your kid would have
thought nothing more of it.

My wife managed the campaign of an openly gay state rep in California
several years ago and both our pre-10 year olds marched in the local
parade next to drag queens and transvestites. We've chosen to expose
them to all sorts of people and not seed fearful complexes (like
yours).

They also go to school with African Americans, 16 different flavors of
Asians, Indians, Arabs, North Africans, etc., etc.

They're completely normal kids with a broader range of understanding
and empathy because of it. I'm sure you'd like them, even if you
can't appreciate the leanings of their father.

What's astonishing to me is that you find gays a more frightening
influence than guns.

I guess inanimate things are easier for you to deal with.


Hello? Gene? You there Gene?
