Are you afriad they are going to make you gay???  I mean, what is it you see coming?  Why is their use of the government and court systems any different than what African Americans did to get equal rights? 

I have to wonder how you think gay people should live?  Are they not entitled to jobs, love, happiness, property?  Why shouldn't they have legal protections?  I've known a fair amount of gay people over the years and I have never seen anything in their behaviors that I consider threatening to me.  Yes, some are promiscious (just like hetros) and some are monogamous (just like hetros).  Most of them I knew from work, and I have seem them treated with distain, passed over for promotion becasue of who they are and backdoored because of someone else's fears or beliefs.  I know someone that works with gay youth, whose parents abandon them and condemn them when they find out they are gay.  And I ask myself "what kind of parent does that to their child?" 

I feel very lucky to have had the chance to know all kinds of people over the years, because the more I thought they were "different" at the beginning, after a time I learned we had much more in common.  That's what I mean by live and let live.
