"If there is one thing I am not it is a hypocrite. " I'll take your word that you are not a hypocrite. By the same token I say to you that I am NOT a liar. You can take away all my money, everything I own, but one thing you can NEVER take from me is my name, my INTEGRITY. My "word" is the only thing in my life that I can vouch for, for it is the only thing of which I have total control. It is something which I value greatly, something which can never be regained once it is lost. You can insult me as much as you want, call me every name in the book and I will take it all with a grain of salt. But questioning my honesty is something which I will NEVER take lightly.

How sad if you had a gay child. Whether my child is gay, a serial killer, a bank robber, or a grade A student, I would love him/her as much as any parent could love a child. Like I said, a parent's love is undeniable. An old friend of mine is now the Guidance Counselor at our old highschool. (Sorry, I don't have a URL for this story) One day a grade 8 student approached him saying that he thought he was gay because he preferred being with the boys. My old friend's response to this youngster was that either alternative was acceptable and encouraged the boy to explore both orientations so that he may eventually choose which he prefers. My problem is not in the acceptance of gays, it is in promoting the lifestyle as a healthy alternative. Especially to young children who are vulnerable as they attain their adolescence.

"...to be penetrated is the ultimate degradation-it is a mark of submission. It is symbolic of powerlessness. " Put aside those feminist books. It wasn't man's idea to penetrate. It is NOT a mark of submission or a symbol of powerlessness. Nature gave us the pieces, and both men and women figured out the puzzle. "Mark of submission"....Hahaha. Man always has his piece in hand but it's always the woman who decides when he could play with the rest of the puzzle.
