Just a thought, 50 years ago interracial marriage was illegal. Many thought it was unnatural and morally wrong. Seems familiar.

i disagree with you comment: "if i were a homophobe, i would be bashing heads." that is simply untrue. a homophobe is someone who fears gay people. one needs not commit violence to be homophobic. and i havent read back at some of the ealier posts in a while so i could be wrong, but i dont think i called you a homophobe. if i did call you a homophobe, i didnt mean to, and i am sorry. i do believe however that i said that you are prejudice. honestly, i dont know what you mean when you said that if u were prejudice you wouldnt be here. all i mean by saying that you are is that you fit into some of the following, and i quote from websters, the definition of prejudice that i am using is: "An opinion or judgment formed without due examination; prejudgment; a leaning toward one side of a question from other considerations than those belonging to it; an unreasonable predilection for, or objection against, anything; especially, an opinion or leaning adverse to anything, without just grounds, or before sufficient knowledge." i dont know if you have reason to have a negative bias toward gays, and i have no reason to judge you for that (or else i myself yould be prejudice :D ) but, through your comments, i gather that you are some, if not most of these things. you are right, i dont know you and you dont know me, and therefore it was wrong of me to call you names. for that i am sorry. but the point i am making is that i think we all could be a little more accepting, if in doing so we will make a more peaceful coexistance between fellow humans.
i believe i am practicing what i am preaching. i dont recall ever being uncivilized. if i have ben construed as being so, it waqs certianly unintended. and for the record, the "THAT is the beauty of freedom.
light it up, talk it up, but dont be uncivilided" quote was not directed at you specifically. it was a general comment and suggestion to all.
i dont think i am better than you, nor do i ever say that. if i come across that way to you then i am sorry. that was never my intention. my rant is about free rights for all, even people i dont agree with, and that includes you, nowhereman. obviously i dont agree with some of the things you say, but i respect your right to voice you opinion. what i disagree with, and the reason why i call you prejudice is that some of the things you have said seem to point toward you holding a group of people back because they differ from you. it seems at though you are looking at a common thread between a group of people and judging them in a negative way for it. in all honesty, i see that the same way i see racism. i dont see how it would be any different if you were to say "i dont like blacks, i dont like the way they look, so i would prefer if they all just kept inside while i was around." i dont think any of us have the right to say that the collective "we" is better that the collective "them", whoever that may be. i see you saying, in escence, (and please, correct me if i am wrong!!) "i dont like the act of homosexuality, so i would prefer if they kept their gay tendancies away from me." am i drawing a faulty connection when i parallel racism with the prejudice toward gays? maube i am not seeing the whole picture, but that is what it looks like to me. it is one thing to dislike something, but another thing completely to shunn an entire group of people for it. for instance, i honestly dont the sound of a "southern accernt." to me its kinda like nails on a chalk board. i recognize that i have no basis for not liking it, i just know that i think it sounds funny. but at the same time, i think it would be unreasonable for me to say, or even think for that matter, that all people with a southern accent should be kept away from me, hoping that they all just go away. do you see the difference?
lastly, i am not asking you to change your mind about gay people. if i have said that in the past, i apologize. it is not my job to ask people to change, not do i think that i have the right to. i simply ask that we all be more aware that we are dealing with humans here, and that shutting anyone out, for any reason, i think is wrong. i think we all should be just a touch more accepting of others, myself included.
::passes nowhereman the J and the soapbox::
fui
the last line is supposed to read ":: Passes..." not "::p asses..."
apparently typing a : then a p makes this face :p, which was unintended because the p was supposed to go with the "asses".
sorry
