buzz- i agree with jodou. i think he brought up some good points that you seemed to simply ignore. you supposedly don't mind people being gay as long as you don't have to know about it. so how would you feel if you and your wife were treated the same way?
(there jodou, now a straight man has asked him  ) |
This is in response to Jodou and you Wolfy. I simply can't change how I feel about the "gay" population. I don't know how to just turn off what has been
a constant in my mind for what seems like forever. Sorry. I don't wish to offend anybody. But, that's the way it is. But, at least I'm not one of those "skin-head Nazis" that go out to terrorize "gays" either. I just choose to not associate with that culture or pay it any attention. Not in hopes that it goes away. Just that it doesn't infringe on me or mine. My future sister in-law is a lesbian. When we're around each other, we simply don't get into a discussion or debate about it. Because it IS a hot button issue with us. Otherwise, we get along very well. I don't think she has "cooties" or something stupid like that. She knows how myself and my fiancee feel about it. We don't try to change each other's minds one way or the other. It's a dead issue to me. Let it go.
