<Which is, come to think of it, how I view homosexuality. Nobody's business but the people involved.> Blue, in a nation, and a world, where homosexuals are treated like heterosexuals, it shouldn't be anyone's business but the people involved. In America at the end of the twentieth century, however, homosexuals can be fired in many states if their homosexuality is somehow revealed and displeases their employers. The incidence of hate crimes against them is very high, including murders. Women lose their natural children because they become lesbians. They are discriminated against everywhere, overtly and subtly, and often have to lead hidden, secret lives, which in itself is a tortuous existence. I would agree that honesty in politicians should be a positive. It definitely is an indicator of general integrity. In the meantime, if all the closeted U.S. representatives, senators, governors, mayors, Catholic archbishops would at least drop their collective hypocrisy and support legislation and social policy that is not discriminatory against homosexuals, it would be very refreshing and positive.
