1. Do you believe the boy scouts should be allowed to prevent homosexuals from being
scout leaders? And would you send your children knowing a scout leader was a
homosexual?

Yes homosexuals should be allowed to be boy scout leaders- but not PEDOPHILES. They are completely different. Yes I would send my boys to a troop with a gay scout leader- maybe I already have. How would I know? How would you?

2. Do you believe we need special laws protecting homosexuals from discrimination or do
the laws which protect all Americans suffice? The laws protecting all Americans suffice.

3. Do you believe we should allow gay couples to marry, and by that marriage give them
the same benefits which go along with it? Yes

4. Do you believe we should allow homosexuals to openly declare their homosexuality and
enter the armed forces, serve on submarines etc? Yes, but only in the same circumstances that women and men do these things. For instance not many women would want to shower with men (although the reverse is probably not the case.) So declared homosexuals and straight guys shouldn't have to shower together, or do anything else the military would not let straight men and women do together.

5. Do you believe that we should have hiring quota's regarding homosexuals? Should the
state of California count the number of homosexuals it has hired, and if it's under a certain
percentage hired should they try and reach fair equity, with what is believed to be the
over-ral percentage of the population? No. Quotas for none. Equality for all.

6. Should we change the textbooks in schools to offer more stories like "baby has two
daddy's"? Or should the books only describe heterosexual relationships? Good question. But tolerance of love in all its manifestations between consenting ADULTS is not a bad thing. In my opinion homosexuals are born that way, tolerance doesn't make more of them. But like sex ed these issues need to be phased in. But they must be dealt with so that the next generation may be more compassionate towards their homosexual contemporaries than the last.

Only by answering these specific questions, which this list is by no means complete, can
we fully understand where people are coming from.

And where are YOUR answers. Are they buried back on this thread somewhere?
