I understand that homosexuals have the same goals as everyone else, etc. I
agree.[1] They should be happy just being treated like everyone else. By
flaunting their sexual preference (which is a private matter IMO), *they* are
setting themselves apart and asking to be considered differently. Same with "gay
rights" activists. There are no "rights" based on sexual preference.[2] I
don't care how many gays are out there-- IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS. So why *make*
it my business of knowing? I think a lot (not all) of intolerance against gays
is brought on by themselves. Here's the deal. You like the same sex? BFD
There is a lot more to life [3] than sex. So why make such a big deal about it?
[1] I think some gays think they can find those things *through* their sexuality
(hetereos, too) and I think it's erroneous, but that's another topic.
[2] Discrimination is another topic which I would leave to the Libertarians, but
I would guess that, in the private sector, the LP would hold that I can do
anything I want with my business that I please.
[3] If there isn't more to life for someone other than that which revolves around
sex, they are leading a sad life, IMHO
