Working yourself into a frenzy -- it's not healthy, man.

Just have a Coke and a smile.

When you hear politicians who are strongly against the rights of Gay people, the odds seem to be that they are gay themselves.

Everyone else kind of doesn't care what other adults do in their bedrooms.

I find your pressing questions more than just a little obnoxious. Why do you feel entitled to a breakdown of a stranger’s value system in exchange for their differing opinions? If you were aware of my gender, ethnicity, and family history you’d feel like an idiot right now, and would quietly disappear from this thread. I’m sparing you that because you are not worth it. Go be needy to somebody else.

Its not what they do in their bedrooms I care about,there they are MORE than free to do WHATEVER they want. That's of ZERO concern to me.

There's something called one standard applied to everyone. Looks like I hit a nerve here.

I'll give you credit for your persistence, bravado, and chutzpah, but it looks like when you can't take the heat, you call someone needy. Thank you.

So why are you so bugged out about LGBTQ people if what they do in their bedrooms and private lives are of no concern to you?

Except you seem to think that what they do in their bedrooms with other adults means that they are actively interested in your children. That's an unwarranted conclusion - otherwise known as 'irrational'.

Wonderful. Pat yourself on the back for your clever internet victory and call it a day. You’re the winner here.

This is very true. Very true. There is a list of high profile people who railed and railed against gays and homosexuality right up until they were arrested in the men's room of an airport soliciting sex, or hitting up congressional aides for sex, or just plain old caught in flagrante delicto with a young man.

Let's not even go into the entire priest-evangelist preacher thing. Politicians are so much more fun.

As long as what? As long as they keep that hidden from public view? As long as they don't insist on the right to legal marriage that everyone else has? As long as they don't hold hands in public, a completely accepted gesture among heterosexuals?
