I do feel strongly on many things and yes, for some of my beleifs i would die to uphold them if the need arose however, im not a big fan of those in the pro-gay group who constantly force 'our' beleifs on others.

Actually, thinking about, who said anyone could speak on my behalf in the gay community as a whole? I certainly dont remember signing my right to an opinion on things such as Gay Pride, Gay Marriage, etc etc.

Personally, it wouldnt bother me one bit if there was never another Gay Pride or debate on the Gay Marriage issue. Im fed up of being told by the pro-gay right-wing that gay marriage is something we 'all' want, strangely enough, there are those of us who think getting a peice of paper saying im legally married is way down on the list, below things such as protecting the environment, protecting children online, ensuring the elderly can afford medication that they need to live, making sure homeless kids get off the streets and, more importantly, making sure everyone gets the education they have a right to. Whats the point of allowing same sex couples to marry if both partners are dumb as a rock?

Rather than arguing the semantics of issues that really dont have a whole lot of effect on many around the world or the US lets focus our efforts on those things that do matter in the immediate future, like making sure we can all breathe the air without worrying if anything in it is going to rot our lungs away.

What would have happened if the 'gay marriage' debate wasnt such a focal point during the last election? Perhaps some more important matters would have been bought up and not just whether two guys or two women can have a peice of paper to prove their love for one another.
