See this is the "Thing" that has a whole lot of folks up in arms over Homosexual anything.
The gay community wants to have the same rights that all other citizens enjoy and I think most would agree to "Live & let live". I know for myself my attitude is if you ain't sleeping with me I really don't care who you sleep with or marry for that matter.
Where I absolutely have an issue is what some conservative talk show hosts call "The Homo-Promo Agenda". The notion that we all have to accept an alternative lifestyle or we are somehow flawed human beings, even if accepting the notion violates ones religious beliefs.
IMO, Gays and Lesbians should be champions of individual Liberty and insist on the religious right (or any religion) be afforded the same rights they were denied for so many years. Conversely, we've been taught that the church is a haven for sinners. Well to hear some tell it, homosexuality is a HUGE sin. So if in fact the church is indeed a haven for sinners then it is the church who should be welcoming in the Gay community. Unless of course you find it easier to hate what you don't understand.
The "thing" in Houston where 5 preachers have had their "speeches" subpoenaed is ludicrous and IMO will create a backlash that may well send the gay community back into the closet for many years.
