    Yes. The days of promoting bigotry against LGBT individuals is fading fast.

    I bring this up every once in a while, as it really is surprising how fast people are changing their minds on this.

    Good story, by the way. The idea of pitching same sex couples as second rate is really disgusting. Plus, Kids in that school may well have same sex parents.

    You are incorrect, sir. The CA state Supreme Court actually ruled that Prop 8 was a valid amendment to the CA state constitution. It was a federal court that ruled that Prop 8 was unconstitutional under the U.S. constitution.

    I would never work for an employer that was that restrictive. Regardless, even if photos on your desk don't exist, it's relatively certain that you have personal items in and around your desk. Could be a briefcase, or a notebook bag, personal financial documents, etc.

    I have worked at 2 places that were that restrictive. One did it for what I consider legitimate reasons, but the other was just because the boss was OCD and had a professional designer design every single detail of the office, including what each work area should look like. The latter was a barrel of monkeys. If you wanted to be passive-aggressive, all you needed to do was walk around and randomly move things slightly out of place and he would put them back into place and 5 things being out of place seemed to be the tipping point that would trigger him walking around making sure everything else in the entire building was in its exact place too. Former co-workers and I will still joke about the classic moments whenwe got the "I am incredibly disappointed in you" lecture we did things like move something out of the way so it would not be damaged and he came in and found an item completely off its designer approved location.

    Red hair functions the same as any other color of hair. Heterosexuality functions to perpetuate the human specises. Homosexuality functions to perpetuate most of the HIV cases in the US and little else.

    They have a do raise children despite your ignorant and hateful comments. Why do you hate homosexuals so much? And yes it is hate, because there is no love, kindness, or compassion in your comments towards homosexuals at all.

    "Have a do"???? What does that even mean? And pointing out that they dont procreate and the fact that they account for most of the HIV cases in the US are facts. And you simply view the revealing of unpleasant facts about homosexuals, as hatred. No doubt, needing to be silenced by some kind of hate legislation.

    Have AND do. It was a typo. Funny that you focus on a grammar mistake instead of the FACT that homosexuals HAVE and DO raise children.
    No you said homosexuality functions for a higher HIV which is completely false. I see you also ignore all the HETEROSEUXAL cases of HIV as well. The only thing your comments have demonstrated is ignorance and hatred for homosexuals. Good thing your ilk is losing the SSM battle and soon.

    I look forward to toasting to all the anti-SSM when SSM is legalized.

    And you ignore all the heterosexual cases of HIV. Why is that? Oh yeah dishonest rhetoric from a person whose comments demonstrate the hatred for homosexuals.

    Why do you ignore that gay parents HAVE and DO raise children?

    Silly, homosexuals account for about 57% of the HIV cases because heterosexuals account for the other 43%.

    I never claimed otherwise, so not sure of your point.

    Gay or straight, should always use protection. Unless of course you know the person is clean of everything.

    Homosexuals are also less likely to use protection.

    Imagine the racist who said "I'm not racist....

    it's just that while I don't mind black people...I just want them to keep to themselves to their own neighborhoods and out of mine and have them stop demanding rights like they are as good as us white people"

    Homophobes can't figure out a way to claim that a monogamous homosexual couple "spreads HIV"....which they ironically bring up in their opposition to gay marriage rights....

    so instead, they claim "There's no such thing as monogamy among homosexuals."


    See how it works?

    Slate.com >> The Dirty Little Secret: Most Gay Couples Aren't Monogamous



    But the thorny part of the gay marriage experiment is sex, and more precisely, monogamous sex. Mundy writes about an old study from the '80s that found that gay couples were extremely likely to have had sex outside their relationship—82 percent did. That was before AIDS and the great matrimony craze in the gay community. She also tells the story of Dan Savage, who started out wanting to be monogamous until he and his partner had kids, and then they loosened up on that in order to make their union last. “Monogamish” is what he calls his new model. But as Mundy asks, can anyone out there imagine a husband proposing that same deal to his pregnant wife?

    A long Gawker story last week explored this problem in greater detail. In the fight for marriage equality, the gay rights movement has put forth couples that look like straight ones, together forever, loyal, sharing assets. But what no one wants to talk about is that they don’t necessarily represent the norm:
    ADVERTISING

    The Gay Couples Study out of San Francisco State University—which, in following over 500 gay couples over many years is the largest on-going study of its kind—has found that about half of all couples have sex with someone other than their partner, with their partner knowing.

    In writing about the subject, gay people emphasize the aspects of their relationships that sound most wholesome and straight-like, Steven Thrasher writes. They neglect to mention that, say, in Thrasher’s case, he met his partner for sex only once, and they ended up falling in love. The larger point being that gay couples are very different when it comes to sex, even if this is not the convenient moment to discuss that. And in legalizing gay marriage, we are accepting a form of sanctioned marriage that is not by habit monogamous and that is inventing all kinds of new models of how to accommodate lust and desire in long-term relationships.

    Yeah, you make up some (*)(*)(*)(*), put quotation marks around it and then proceed kick ass in your imaginary debate with the author of the quotes.

    Quite a bit of distance between
    "There's no such thing as monogamy among homosexuals."
    which is a false statement, and
    "Most Gay Couples Aren't Monogamous"
    which is a true statement.

    Life is not a Clint Eastwood movie.

    I am so glad you are not my employer. I would never work in a place that treats me like a robot.

    Homosexual couples are BOTH more likely to not use protection, more likely to not be monogamous, and more likely to have higher numbers of sexual partners

    Life can be a Clint Eastwood movie. As for what you are glad for, ignorance is bliss I suppose.

    And of course you can produce the scientific study that shows a LGBT person having same sex and producing a child, or having hormonal treatment and producing a child or "corrective" cosmetic surgery and producing a child?

    If not, then my statement stands.

    Again, it's not because schizophrenics are not logical (or rational, for that matter) enough to seek medical means to cement their delusions.
