Geez Boatboy this has more leaks than the titanic.
"Recall Charles Darwin before his death refuted his own "Theory" of evolution. Yet today many people still believe in this theory as being factual." I'd love to see a link on that snippet as Mr Darwin got it spot on and the church wanted to crucify him at the time because he was undermining their "God" stuff and subsequent power over the masses.
"To me the whole gender thing is a cop out, a way for some persons to hide themselves away and not have to face life as it is." lol.....you don't think life for such people would be far easier and simpler if they didn't ?
"Unless you take charge of your life you will only exist, and potentially careen from personal disaster to personal disaster." Agree with that, and what do you think gays etc are trying to do?
"This doesn't mean taking charge by criticizing and legislating against every body else's opinion to preserve your own." Thats exactly what you're trying to do Boatboy, you're trying to stop gays from having a say. BTW, being gay is not an opinion.
"I have to be honest but I have never met a gay gay...there is always an underlying distrust and even spiteful hatred that emerges along the way." This is a pearler, unless your life is spent in a darkened basement and you're fed through magically appearing plates of sustenance being slid under the door, then the overwhelming odds are that you have met many many gays and you just didn't know it. Did you cheer on Ian Thorpe during the olympics? Does Dr Kerryn Phelps really frighten you? Do yourself a favor and get out more and meet a few and that hatred and fear may seem dumb. Newsflash, the majority of gays are not what you see at Mardi Gras.
"Males together, as females together cannot conceive and procreate..." Neither can males and females who have reproductive problems such as low sperm counts, cancers etc etc. Do we ban those people from taking on a partner also and banish them to your "seen but never heard" status? if procreation is the only gauge in your world?
" I have zero care about how a person wants to live their own life...do what they like behind closed doors, just don't push it down everybody else's throat." Who's forcing you to become gay Boatboy? You and others like you really do need to wake up and realise that everybody is not the same, and some people are gay, it's not a choice, it's who they are, and they deserve just as many rights as you. Another newsflash...gays wouldn't give a big rats backside if Boatboy isn't gay. As for pushing down throats, it's you who is pushing your social norms down their throats.
"will there come a time when a person could be sued in a personal relationship for refusal to associate with a person of unknown sexual orientation?" That would have to rate as one of the dumbest things I've ever read on HC.
