there is no fix other than a return to better times, two parent families and a moral code to live by. What "better times" were those? Were they better if you were black, or gay, or female? I've suggested this before: name the time you thought was better, we'll have a close look at it. Do you honestly think that there were fewer gay children in those days, whenever they were, or that those children lived better lives then? Some people are gay. None of us know why. These people pose no threat to heterosexuals, but they are frequently harassed, abused, and mentally and physically tortured by heterosexuals. One solution, a rather timid one, that is being tried is to teach children in school that the gay children are no threat to them and should not be punished for being what they are. You object strongly to this: what solution do you propose, short of turning back the clock to a "better time" that never even existed? you think if you can ask the most questions somehow you have proved your point. Not so. I'm not asking questions because I think you can answer them. I know very well that you can't. The questions serve to underscore the gross inconsistencies in your position. If you want to examine my posts and ask the same sort of questions, go right ahead? I did not ask you to find perverted gay websites, though if anyone can come up with one as perverted as godhatesfags.com I'd be curious to see it. I asked you to point to a site that exemplifies the PC activism that you say is taking over the entire country. Surely you must be interested in tracking down and keeping tabs on those evil PC enforcers.... You must be very young. Your posts are idealistic and impulsive untempered by the knowledge and wisdom that age usually brings. Reduction of an argument to the ad hominem mode signifies intellectual surrender, so I suppose I should feel gratified. Frankly, I see a great deal more idealism and impulsiveness in your posts than I do in mine. If there is thought, rather than impulse, behind your posts, you should be able to support those posts with some sort of reasoned argument. That does not seem to be the case.

<<Children will always be pretty much what they are raised to be. They are programmed by parents and that's what they get to go through life with. Good or bad. I don't want the state programming the children of our future. Bad idea.>> Do you actually have any children? Just how would a parent program a child to be gay? And since the majority of gay children in most of America are reared in very heterosexual and often conservative Christian homes where they are often treated very badly, rejected, and then forced out, what did those parents do wrong to have a gay child, following your theory? Do you have some reliable statistics proving that gay children are just reared in single-family homes? This I've got to see!
