HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT A FLAW, OR AN ILLNESS, NOR IS IT A SIN, AND CERTAINLY NOT A CHOICE

Should we allow a small minority of religious fanatics dictate to the rest of America their perceived morality, their disdain for gays and to define marriage according to their narrow minded views of the Scriptures?

I should think not; it is incumbent upon all of us to put the foot on the brake pedal, it is absolutely necessary that we flick the turn indicators off from veering into a hard right turn. This is the time for us to express our displeasure with these minorities who dictate to us what they think is moral according to their erroneous interpretations of the Scriptures. 

There should be no vacillation as to what our country is about, how we define ourselves rather than having a group of religious fanatics defining it for us. 

Make no mistake about it, the upcoming elections are going to be centered on social issues; ignoring the real harsh realities of unemployment and the unfair redistribution of wealth. It is an old trick of Republicans to energize their base and to mislead those who are either gullible or too naïve to not question their tactics. It is basically a trap, a scare tactic and it is the ultimate travesty performed against the American people. 

To say that somehow people who are gay are flawed, have flawed personalities it also has the implication that it is some kind of an affliction, an illness, if you will. The religious fanatics will even try to apply brain washing and “reparative therapy” which amounts to a lot of crap because those who are either forced by circumstances, or family, or peer pressure to participate, they will never be heterosexual but rather sexually frustrated individuals who will never have a chance at fulfilling one of the most basic of human needs…that of to be able love and being loved. You can’t repair what isn’t broken…if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

They will argue with you until they are blue in the face and foaming at the mouth that it is based on a two-thousand year old tradition, that it is harmful to families and to society because it breaks down the moral fiber of our nation. This of course is bull shit since traditions are fleeting things that people do only because their parents and grandparents did them but not because it makes sense. It is kind of fashion only it lasts a little longer than the latest Pravda or Buitton clothes or luggage line. 

If being gay is a choice, then when did you decide to become straight?
