Okay these rights gays and lesbians have, I think is completely wrong! You know what is happening now cause of it? Well, people want to pass laws saying that they can stroll down the street having sex, and no one can stop them! I think it is crap! I wouldn't want my kids to walk down the street and some gays are having sex in public and nothing being done...not too mention it will show kids what they think might be right! It is wrong, religion or not! You are not born this way, you make your self this way...so don't give me that bull crap on how you say your born gay, it's is ridiculous how gay people can get away with this!

I've never heard anyone seriously propose a law to allow anyone to have sex in public. And if they did, I wouldn't blame it on the gays.

My dad is in the military, so he knows what the goverment is doing. We was talking about Gay Parades, and how they passed a law saying you can't protest it. Well, in this parade their was a guy naked and another guy moving his hand up and down to the guy in the tub. The two were having fun with each other in PUBLIC. If you don't consider that sexually, then I was wrong on this. Thats why I said the things I did in that post. If gays can masturbate while in a parade what will stop them from having sex in public? It's all announced publicy to everyone, that gays can have sex in public with out anything happening to them.

I could see such shenanigans in New York or San Francisco. Heck, in New Orleans straight women bare their chests for bead on Mardi Gras. There are times and places where such things are accepted. It has nothing at all do with gay rights.

That said, Java's right: Public nudity and sex acts are frowned upon and generally illegal in most places, whether the perps are gay or straight. It, too, has nothing at all do with gay rights.

Except for the law the gays want passed. If I was you, don't participate in any protests against Gay Rights. You will get arrested for it. And by the way, the parade was in Texas.

I don't suppose you have a link to this "law"?

Again, a link would be appreciated. But let me guess: Austin?

No not Austin, it was in Arlington. But here is the link I just got http://infowars.net/articles/october...05hatebill.htm It simply states that you can't protest a Gay Rights parade simply because it is a hate crime, which isn't by the way.

Infowars, huh? Alex Jones is a 9/11 conspiracy theory nut -- you knew that, right? Among other nuttiness.

And the screed you link to has nothing to recommend it, credibility-wise. It completely makes up the "hate speech" law at the center of its rant.

Here's the text of the law in question:
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c109:H.R.259:

Please quote the portion that has *anything* to do with speech.

Regarding the gay-pride parade: Do you have a link describing the parade in question? A quick Google search doesn't turn up anything like what you described.

Here are a couple of gay rights sites...I hope u find them entertaining enough. Why do you support Gays for? I just don't get it...I am against the gay community. It doesn't bother me, but it's wrong what they do in public. They should keep that suff at home.

Er, thanks. I suppose that means you're not going to defend the statements you made about the supposed "gay sex in public" or "hate speech" laws?

Because good people don't stand by and let others be discriminated against merely because they are different. Being gay affects nobody but the gay person himself.

Why?

Like what stuff?

I agree that public displays of nudity and sex should generally be banned, be they straight or gay. Guess what? Most gays would agree, too.

So beyond that, what stuff are you talking about that shouldn't occur in public? Holding hands? Kissing? Simply being obviously "with" someone of the same gender? Wearing a rainbow flag? Give me some idea of what you find so improper it should only occur behind closed doors.
