Reply #44: The biggest problem with your post

[Karenina]

is the assumption of mutual exclusivity. Did you even consider how your post would read to someone who is both black and gay? Sexual orientation is an issue which has NOTHING to do with race as it occurs in ALL races and has been observed and well-documented in non-human species. How about those penguins, eh?

The bottom line is whether we accept our differences with grace and ease. For me, the "homosexual agenda" means accompanying dear friends on a day trip to Holland or visiting a gallery or talking about our crazy kids, relatives, bosses and co-workers or collaborating on a project or just doing what people DO TOGETHER and enjoying each others' company.

When it comes to the "rights" question, suffice to say that I will fight to the death to prevent the atrocity of a life-long partner being refused access to his/her dying mate and subjected to the prejudices and greed of bigoted relatives and an uncaring state. The laws MUST RESPECT ALL.
