There is no good answer for the question you raise. It's not fair, and it's designed to be unfair to show people just how disapproved of certain minorities are. If the country gets more liberal, and looking at the attitudes of young people, we probably will get more liberal on that issue, things will change. But it's sad to have hurt a whole class of people while we wait for our society to grow up a little about sexuality.

<<My question has always been how can someone be good enough to pay taxes but not good enough to die for their country?>>

That got me to pondering. I know when I joined the army in '69 I wasn't wanting to die for my country. If I had to kill someone for his country, that I would have preferred. Luckily neither happened.

Now as for the sexual aspect, I'd be uncomfortable living with someone who got an erection when looking at my butt in the shower. Working with him, fine, the showering part, I'd get stinky. Now showering with a lesbian wouldn't bother me one bit.

"How can one be any more disinfranchised than to be unilaterly dismissed from service? If I can't die, why should I pay taxes?

My kid bought a chapstick at 7/11 the other day and when I looked at the receipt there were taxes. Dang, why wont they let my seven year old die ... I'm so disrought.... [for the benefit of grainne: This is sarcasm]
