I totally agree. Politics and sexual freedom go hand in hand and are tied together with the religious bonds that have helped cement American society since the Pilgrims fled to America in fear of religious persecution.

Funny how, since the Pilgrims came to America, they've done nothing BUT persecute, and judge, each other. Those poor people killed in the Salem witch trials! Remember all the protests against the pill? The bra burning and women’s sexual liberation? Abortion rights? Gay marriage? ALL ABOUT SEXUAL FREEDOM.

Gay marriage is about sexual freedom as much as it is about equal rights IMO. It's sad that some people don't like Gay rights being visible in the public eye and fear a backlash. We get nothing but discrimination and harassment when we're silent so what does it matter?

I don't think it's a white older males thing. Look at Africa and how the chiefs control every aspect of village life, including who can have children and who can marry who. I think it's a power hungry mongrol kiind of thing. Every society, no matter what race, has those in power that want to control everything everyone does. A planet wide pissing contest. :francais:
