Homosexuals have acquired the privilege of being able to cohabitate openly without fear of reprisal, which would have been unheard of centuries, or even decades ago; they cannot be discriminated against or mistreated by "hate" crimes or other harassment.
If my husband had a serious condition that required me to take extra time off work for doctor's appointments and care - I would be protected by FMLA to take unpaid leave to do so without fear of losing my job. If I was a male, I would be up the creek without a paddle should the same scenario occur. Homosexuals, even legally married ones, do not have the protection of FMLA.

Noting, of course, that FMLA also allows parents to care for children with conditions, women to have unpaid pregnancy leave, etc. It's a protection that allows family members to care for one another in times of medical need without fear of losing a job and thus, the family's livelihood.

People who refer to the lack of protections that their homosexual friend of family member has and consider the fervor to have the same protections that others enjoy as "blind determination"... well, they're not worth their salt as friends or family.

If I had "friends" or family tell me that I should be "content" with the status quo, that person would quickly find themselves not a part of my life. I don't need that kind of vampirism sucking the life out of me.

The question is, why is everybody supposed to care what you do with your life?

Lol I guess I deserve that but what I'm tryin to get at is maybe he is not gay but confused. At this point of his life he should have had some type of physical relations with someone. I mean evidently something is holding him back from pursuing men which leads me to believe he may not be in fact gay at all but there are some underlying psychiatric problems that need to be addressed.

What a load of garbage/propaganda! It's truly disturbing that people could believe such a thing.

........Never mind.

I guess I'll tell my five boys, all of whom were breastfed, that they're supposed to be gay. Might be a bit of a surprise to their wives and girlfriends, though.

Or is it just the girl babies who become gay from being breastfed?

I'm confused.

Too funny (not to mention ridiculous).

And if that were the case, what about all those generations of babies who were breastfed.....before baby formula?

It makes me very sad that people still think like this.

The point was just the opposite - proof that liberals truly are mentally deficient.
Don't make your problems, our problems.
