So why don't we support the Separation of Homosexuality and State? Activists have rallied behind the so called "separation of church and state" not really found in the 1st ammendment to the Constitution. separation of church and state not in constitution
But it is Ok to advance ideas about other beliefs which differ greatly from many people's beliefs in public schools. :confused:
 
The fact is that they are different but the problem isn't that their difference bothers us "homophobes". On the contrary, the real problem seems to be that their difference bothers them.

No, actually it's laws that discriminate against gay people and actions like murdering and jailing gay people at home and around the globe that "bothers" homosexuals.

globeandmail.com: Intolerance sets back the fight against AIDS

"In March, Senegal hosted the summit of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, which brought key Muslim leaders to Dakar, including the arch-conservative Saudis, who funded development projects across the capital for the event. It was a coup for Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade, the first time the meeting had come to sub-Saharan Africa. His government was determined that nothing would spoil its moment in the international limelight. Inadvertently, the MSM [an AIDS action group] provided the regime with an opportunity to prove its Islamic fervour.

Someone sold pictures from a recent gay wedding to a newspaper, which ran the photos and launched a campaign of persecution of everyone who appeared in them. The wedding guests were jailed. Huge crowds demonstrated here in the capital, demanding death to homosexuals. "The government wanted to present an ultra-Muslim image of Senegal," Prof. Niang said. "And they found a group to crush.""

Yep, definitely "bothersome".

Crooks and Liars » The House Passes The Employment Non-Discrimination Act

Rep. Frank: “I want to address the motion to delay. Mr. Speaker, we say here that we don’t take things personally, and usually that’s true. Members, Mr. Speaker, will have to forgive me — I take it personally. 35 years ago, I filed a bill that tried to get rid of discrimination based on sexual orientation. As we sit here today, there are millions of Americans in states where this is not the law. By the way, 19 states have such a law. In no case has it led to that decision. The Massachusetts law passed in 1989, that did not lead to the decision in 2004, unrelated. But here’s the deal: I used to be someone subject to this prejudice. And through luck, circumstance, I got to be a big shot. I’m now above that prejudice. But I feel an obligation, to 15-year-olds dreading to go to school because of the torments, to people they’ll lose their job in a gas station if someone finds out who they love. I feel an obligation to use the status I have been lucky enough to get, to help them. And I want to ask my colleagues here, Mr. Speaker, on a personal basis, please don’t fall for this sham. Don’t send me out of here having failed to help those people.”
 
People discriminate, yes. But where are the laws that say "if you are homosexual you can't..." ?
As for marriage, the law says between one man and one woman. Homosexuals still have this right.
 
Nobody said it was :shakehead: So.
