Oh that's easy to do. See if it reads any better for you. I can also add some commentary.

Not spend every waking moment trying to be separatist and flaunt some of your more absurd proclivities. The LGBT community SHOULD want to set an example for children that your sexual orientation is irrelevant to your membership in society.
Instead of using every moment in the media to assert how different you are because of your sexuality, and how you need your "rights".

Gay marriage, gay adoption, gay oreo cookies, gay targeted advertising, gay cruises, gay e-harmony.com, etc...Their sexuality "gay" dictates how they live their lives. They're a sexuality before they're an individual.

Speaking of glitter, glitter bombing, and media blitzing comes to mind when someone disagrees with a homosexual's view of the world.

T-shirts, key rings, bumper stickers, your egregious theft of the damn rainbow from everybody else....why does this have to be part of the landscape for my family?
Someone else who agrees that they have stolen the rainbow from our children and use it as a tool to desensitize and brainwash the public!

The use of symbolism and brainwashing - Mommy look, a Rainbow person!

I'll just put this comment in the same category with gay themes being portrayed in primetime television, films, music videos where women/or men are placed in same sex situations and paw each other in ecstasy.

Whoever can shout the loudest over everyone else is heard, that does not foster community, it fosters resistance and disgust.

Of course it's not all gays doing this, they only broadcast to the public what they think we need to know, everything else goes back into the closet.

Nope, you have own all that crap!
Great, you aren't part of any group? Not male or female? Do you have a hair or eye color?
You are part of a group regardless of if you want to be or not.

I do assert equal rights for homosexuals. Just like some people have asserted womens rights.

He should NOT have lost his job over this. What happened to his First Amendment rights?

Did he advertise that he was the CFO of this company in the first place? How did everyone know to pinpoint him out?

About that guy losing his job - perfect example of the fallacy of propagandists claiming this is a chik-fil-a/Cathy free speech issue.

No one is criminally liable for saying things like either of them said, but in the social world there are consequences to it, so if someone speaks up and incites others, he shoul just be prepared for the backlash and not make disingenuous references to the 1st Amendment.

I have a three time blue ribbon winning pedigree Poodle. My neighbor breeds mixed breeds with no particular standards to live up to. Does this in any way change the pedigree or attributes of my pet? NO! It does not. This might not be the best analogy, but it proves a point. If your marriage is worth its salt, it will not be adversley affected or degraded by anyone else's choice in a partner.
Interesting analogy inded.

If one of your neighbors rascals jumps your fence, and one of your prized blue ribbon winning female poodles is in heat.

Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! You've got some mixed up mutts in 9 weeks. What's done can't be undone can it?

The integrity of your prized poodle's line has been compromised.

Same thing with gay marriage, it compromises the integrity of ALL MARRIAGE.

Let's look at trickle down theory to explain that.

Put gay marriage at the top of a pyramid. Below it is whatever touches gay marriage, touches all marriage - family structures, education systems will be changed, social mores. Like an avalanche.

Keep it simple? What are we talking about here? Redecorating our kitchens?

Your posts are way too frustrating to address any longer due to the fact that you are unwilling to keep your nose out of someone else's business. Do you peer out of your window all day to see what the neighbors are up to Gladys Kravitz?

Sorry you are not fulfilled enough to be satisfied to be content with your lot in life without mean spiritedly wishing to deny others theirs. The upside is that your type of mindset is losing the debate as we can see by many states and nations that are legalizing gay marriage. When all is said and one, people such as yourself will be remembered as being on the wrong side of history.

Well heterosexuals seem to think that their rights super-cede mine. I won't settle for less than equality under the law.

Thanks, that made it worth spending a minute to read. It still sounded pretty hysterical. I'm not gay by the way.

Is a homosexual going to jump you and force you to marry them?
