oh, God, Bill.. you have put me back in Sunday School where wearing
makeup was a sin, mixed-bathing was a sin (in a swimming pool) and pants
were a sin... give me a break.. let people live their lives, if you
don't like gays, then stay away from them.. it is awfully damn funny to
me that most supposedly hetero men hate gay men... wonder why???

Again - show me where there is anything that applies to me regarding
eating shellfish or wearing mix-fiber garments. (answer: you can't
because there isn't any)

And yet you would be the first to advise someone to get a genuine - not
imitation - shop manual for serious work on their car. Like I said -
antifreeze in the crankcase. Cookbook indeed! 8^)

Matt, would you wake up one morning and decide you wanted to be treated
badly, denied benefits, killed, drug through streets, hung up on chain
link fences? would you want to wake up one morning and decide that you
wanted to be treated differently, not given equal opps, not allowed to
marry the one you wanted to, not allowed to benefit from your partners
insurances, benefits, etc?, not allowed in places, not allowed to show
any smattering of affection to the one you love, hide the fact from your
co-workers, your drill seargent for being gay to keep from being beaten
to death? how would you like to have to refer to the person you love
with all your heart as "My Roommate" to people?
Evidence you want? check the damn evidence yourself, its out there,
your a smart guy....you can find it...
