Gee that would confuse me and I am an adult. How about kids who say they are a dog or cat and bark or meow all the time. Should adults say, ok you are a dog so from now on we will say you are a dog. Poor kids.

Why not teach kids no means yes and yes means no. Give them another handicap.

Homosexuality is not a behavior - it's a sexuality. It describes an innate sexual and emotional attraction to members of the same sex. I know several gay virgins. They've never had sex, but they most certainly are homosexual.

They never mentioned Christianity, I think you're the narcissistic one for assuming everything is an attack on you.

This post was not thought out and was made in hate.

What is this to you?:

Exactly. This is a dangerous social experiment being conducted on our children.

But they would have sex with the same gender if they had sex. A black person would not be able to be white nor would they want to be white. That is the difference.

A person who never has sex is non-sexual in behavior, you can't be non- race anymore then you can be non-human.

So I said you are assuming a lot because of just this.

1. This was 39 years ago, what is the platform for today's mainstream gay community?

2. The age of consent was more of a borderline legality thing and not pedophilia.

3. Polygamy was more of a free spirit thing in this case, not the same today.

I know right? All this talk about sex. It isn't healthy. Sometimes it is just like it would sneak up behind you and take you from behind if your not careful.

I don't really see how the distinction is relevant when it comes to equal treatment under the law.

Oh, and any comment on my post addressing your "just write a contract" statement?
