[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great.  So Charlie Sheen and Brittany Spears should have the right, but I shouldn't even though I am in multiple decade monomagous relationship with a bunch of kids, spending my time at PTA, chaperoning teen dances at school, volunteering at fundraisers, chauffering kids to sporting events and helping my kids with homework.  Yep, makes sense to me that people who have no respect for the institution of marriage should have that right but others who do should be denied.  [/quote]

I may get flamed for these comments, but I'm going to share them anyway. I have several gay/lesbian friends who are living pretty much the way you've described your life. Regular family life in a loving, monogamous relationship with great, well-adjusted kids. [b]Unfortunately, the outlandish outfits, crude behaviors,and strident voices that voters typically see when they're watching Gay Rights parades and protests are hurtful to your pursuit of deserved recognition as a marriage and family.[/b] [/quote]

This isn't really true or typical anymore.  That sounds more like the gay rights movement of the 70s and 80s where marriage wasn't on the table and the movement was geared more toward forcing society to recognize that gays existed.  If you've been to a gay rights rally lately, you see exactly the kind of poster you're responding to.[/quote]

Been to San Francisco, New York, or Atlanta lately?[/quote]
NP here.  I live in DC, which has one of the largest gay communities in the country and all I see when I look around are pretty normal looking people who happen to love people of the same gender.  In fact the gays my age are pretty boring old married people.  Oh but that's right, they should be forced to pay for the fact that you don't like drag queens.

And god knows our constitution only guarantees rights to people who are reserved and have sober good taste.  No tacky dressers are allowed to vote.[/quote]
