I think the "far right religious anti-gay agenda" is sexually attracted to the topic of "gay sex", especially gay male sex. It's all they seem to talk about. And they seem to get very excited.

Pedophiles and ardent social conservatives have something in common.
Jamming session tonight?

I kinda agree.......I get miffed at the age generalizations too. I'm just past 50.....I'm gay so I'd say I'm for equal rights for all.......there are young homophobes too.

But IN GENERAL....I do believe the younger generations are more accepting.

But it's hardly just an age related bias.

Why do you have an "us versus them" mentality about it? Not only that, why do you assume that gays would have voted no? I voted yes.

Ignorance abounds.

Wikipedia, Newsweek, Time & Washington Post are all "anti-gay propaganda websites?"

Hmmm?... Learn something new everyday.

Pretty much every anti-gay propaganda group follows a plan to vilify gay people by writing and spreading articles ad nauseum based on false junk science and misrepresenting actual studies and research. "Gays are pedophiles, gays are promiscous, sex-crazed perverts, gays are mentally ill etc etc etc."

The other main tactic is to continually play on people's fears about children.

You made the slavery comparison in post 65.

While gays have specially designed vacations, slaves had the underground railroad. Do you see many 'no gays allowed' or 'gay water fountain' signs where you live ? Yes, I'll make a moral judgment that slavery was worse than the condition of gays in America.

Oh, if you know where I can buy a gay licensed electrician, let me know.

Wait. What?

Which gays? Do all gays have the same agenda? Gay is a political affiliation? Dang it! I've been doing gay wrong all these years

I read "A Place at the Table" not this other book the antigays keep blathering on about.

Hmmmm....maybe if all I did was look at the nasty gay porn and read malicious anti-hetero literature, I'd be antigay too. Fortunately, I read intelligent literature and enjoy movies about gay content that doesn't involve graphic and sundry sex scenes. I thin I'm starting to understand the antigays and why they feel the way do

No, not all gays have the same agenda, any more than All d's, r's, unions, corporations, blacks, have the same agenda.

So, now those who believe there's a general gay agenda watch nasty gay porn, don't read 'intelligent' literature, and are antigay. Does that include gays who agree there's an agenda ?
