I am not seeing the intolerance directed at the religious members of our community. Maybe if you were Jewish or Muslim. That thing about Mormon persecution so many years ago is starting to grow mold on it... I'd just like to remind you that the LDS are not exactly observing the Golden Rule in the way I think of it: "Do not unto others as you would have others not do unto you." Instead, they send their annoying missionaries around periodically to bang on my door, as if I needed spiritual guidance from a door to door, overzealous salesman! Take thy Urim and Thummim from out my heart, and take tha form from off my door! Now I am not in favor of overtly sexual acts in public, but I think that holding hands, embracing, and kissing in public should be allowed for everyone. I certainly see heterosexual couples doing it, it would therefore be most unfair to deny such practices to gays, bis, etc. I have this funny feeling that you can't actually let it go at that -- that's too much to bear, to see same sex couples engaged romantic touching. You're supposed to persecute people that do that. It would be like allowing a growing evil to fester within your community. "God told me to skin you alive..." -- Hop-Frog
