I don't understand what you're getting at. >>How does telling my (hypothetical) gay son that it's okay for him to be >>in love with a man equate to telling him it doesn't matter who he >>screws? Are you equating homosexuality with promiscuity, or are you >>saying homosexuality is immoral? > > But for him to be in love with just one man usually involves morals, > those same morals that you want to remove.

Not overnight, it may take > decades. You make the assumption that I want to change morals. My morals tell me that treating someone as though they were a lesser person just because they're gay is wrong. For that matter, being in love with one person or three is not necessarily a moral issue. I know people who genuinely love more than one person at a time, and make it work. I, on the other hand, am Captain Monogamous. In my book, sex with a person or people you're in love with is OK, and sex without love is highly questionable. None of that has to do with gender. >>What about my rights to own slaves? What about my right for sufferage >>to be limited to white males (ie me)? What about my right to get a >>cheeseburger from Checkers (they closed years ago, and I still miss them)? > > You don't have those rights. Two hundred years ago, I would have had the first. A hundred years ago, I would have had the second. Four years ago, by damn, I could have driven just down the road and gotten myself a big juicy bacon cheeseburger. Not that the burger is really all that important. My point is that the evolution of the perception of human rights is inevitable and good. This is, in my opinion, where another change is inevitable. I'd like to speed it along. --Ben ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:180685 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
