"A Day Without A Gay"?!
Can you imagine if Prop 8 in California had gone the other way? Would the pro-traditional family side have thrown such a fit? There is no mystery...No, they would not have. Whether that's because our side is more accustomed to losing on social issues in California or just plain more civil is irrelevant at the moment.
The latest stunt by the extremists (not the average homosexual who simply wants to be left alone) is "A Day Without A Gay," set for this Wednesday, December 10. Organizers are asking gay people to call in "sick (of being treated like a second class citizen)" from work.
The people of California have voted three times now in support of maintaining the traditional definition of marriage. I find it arrogant, obnoxious and downright childish for this small group of extremists with an agenda to throw this fit because they didn't get their way. Homosexual couples can live as virtually married couples in California--and many other states--as it is. It's merely the technical definition of marriage we're fighting for. How sad that this is the nature of our 'fight' today! God help us!

First, while I have never taken an illegal, mind-altering drug in my entire life, I have long taken the libertarian position on this issue by supporting the full legalization of all drugs. The way I figure it, the government should not waste its time and money on people hell-bent on their own self-destruction.
On the other hand, I do not think that the government should hand out clean needles to drug users. In other words, the government should not forbid taking drugs, but neither should it endorse it.
Well, that is how I see the issue of male homosexual behavior. I would not want our government to outlaw, or certainly enforce, laws against male homosexual behavior, because any government so powerful to do so, is far too totalitarian for my libertarian-conservative sensibilities.
On the other hand, the government should not endorse the male homosexual lifestyle either, which it would be doing by sanctioning gay marriage. The government should stay out of the gay matter entirely, letting each of us live according to the dictates of our own consciences and moral values
I actually have two more major points to bring up about this issue, but I am worried that the more I write, the less likely that it will be read. So I better stop here at this point.
