I wasn't referring to the worldwide epidemic, I was talking about the Aids problem in this country. In this country it is Gay men and IV drug users that primarily get the disease. I've actually heard the statement "Statistically, a straight none drug using white male has more of a chance of getting breast cancer than HIV.". Not saying we don't have to worry about it, its still a threat, but its mostly the Gays and people sharing needles that tend to get it, in this country. Aids in this country

All the opinions are interesting. I personally don't care as long as its not forced on the general public. I really wish they would quit showing it on tv, it repulses alot of people. Gay pride?? WTH is there to be proud about?! Heeh, who cares?!

What does bother me is the fact that it is forced on the general public. There was a big fuss about a book a little 7yr old(or there abouts) girl that brought a book home from school. Her parents looked at the book the girl was reading and it was about 2 'Kings' that fell in love. The parents freaked out and refused to give the book back to the school, it made the national news. I think the book was called 'Two Kings' or something. I don't think elementary school students should be subjected to this. If I had a child in school and there were having a "Gay day", my child would not be in school that day. I'd probably take the day off and take the kid to the movies or something.

As far as it not being natural or seen in nature. Hmm.. No it really doesn't seem natural at all. Nuclear energy and electricity doesn't seem natural either. I'm not, by any means, condoning it but the arguement just doesn't hold up. You don't see black birds and blue birds mating yet this country is full of folks with mixed heritage. Its getting to the point where we can trace the family tree of our dogs better than our own.

I once would get irrate if I saw mixed couples or gays but I realized one day that it wasn't doing anything except to stess me out. I realized there was nothing I could do about it. Later I came to the realization that it made absolutely no sense what so ever to get upset about someone elses happiness.. something that didn't effect me.

I guess Joe said it best, live and let live.
