In reference to remarks about Wikipedia. First of all, IMO the members of the gay community do not deliberately choose their lifestyle. Why would anyone choose to make their life more complicated than it already is? I also condemn mistreatment of them simply because they have an alternate lifestyle than most of us. I do however NOT support gay marriage. Civil unions are fine, but not legal marriage - that should be preserved as exclusively between a woman and a man.

That said, I have noticed Wikipedia scrubbing does have a distinctly political agenda as far as ignoring or twisting historical facts. Best example is an international spy scandal that my other half read about through his interest in famous spy rings during WWII and up to the present.

He explained that there was a large ring of spies, both British and American, during the 1930s, who were double agents for the USSR. The whistle blower of the mostly gay group of agents, was a heterosexual man named Mr *Straight*. I'd never heard of the incident, so when I looked it up on Wikipedia a few months ago, I was totally amazed to see that not one mention was made of the fact the vast majority of those spies involved were in fact gay men. The reason that would be important to include in Wikipedia's presentation of the incident is the obvious conclusion that those particular men were more vulnerable to blackmail at that time(probably today as well) and therefore should never have been part of the intelligence community in the first place.
