[QUOTE=OneCentStamp] OK, man-crush now officially snuffed out by the realities of gay romance. Thanks for that bucket of ice water, **tdn**. 😉 [/QUOTE] Hey, even if you’d stayed with your hetero crushes, reality will end up intruding anyway. Do the gay thing, you face homophobia and possibly violence. Do the straight thing, and you face being bored out of your skull in a mall, and having to talk about “where this relationship is going” when the big game is on. Lose/lose. ---

I wonder if it would be possible to persuade Dr. Cameron to refrain from emphasizing the “hate-crime” argument quite so much? I believe there might actually be a reasonable argument against such legislation, but it’s difficult to tell when the guy arguing the point is a foaming lunatic. He seems to be quite happy to grind on for long stretches without the benefit of any actual content, so eschewing mention of that one point would be a relatively small sacrifice to make. How about it, Doc? Honestly, reason cramps your style anyway. You can easily make up for the lost space by peppering your rant with a few more instances of the words ‘empirical,’ ‘unalienable,’ and ‘associational.’ ---

Dr. Paul Cameron… Dr. Paul Cameron… Now, where have I heard that name?

I apologize. I haven’t read the thread yet. But the title made me laugh out loud: Homosexuals have “Super” Rights? Already I can see where they’re going–it astonishes me how some people can twist attempts by gay people to be legally treated the same as straight people as giving them “Super” rights. It’s also heartbreakingly sad; friends of my husband who are extremely intelligent people (I thought) now speak of the “gay agenda.” I never would have expected that from them. But I’m currently enjoying the mental vision of my friend Donald in red tights and a cape, exercising his “super rights” to spend time with his boyfriend and his boyfriend’s son as a family. ---
