I wish more straight people thought like you do. Then this wouldn't even be an issue. My straight friends and most of my family members are very supportive to gay people as well and they get why this kind of garbage is wrong.

But so many other straight people out there don't. Even when the straight person is a good person at heart, many don't see why any of this is a problem. And as one straight person once put it to me when I was talking ot her about it: "Gays have made so much progress why do you need more? Why do you have to keep pushing things?" Anotehr straight lady simply put it - "why do you (gays) have to keep making everything into issue?"

No matter how much I keep trying to make bigoted straight people see why gays not only need more, but deserve more, the one thing I have found that seems to help them connect the dots is when I turn it around. I then ask them would they be asking for too much if someone took their rights away....or never even allowed them in the 1st place?
