Opening a BIG can of worms!

Hi Folks,

I have warched the different court decisions come and go and my
thoughts in all of this are gonna spark some flames.. so.. donning my
flame retardent suit, I have to say....

Does it really matter if a person chooses one lifestyle over another?

Does their lifestyle choices make them less of a person? More
incapable of being a leader? Incapable of being somebody that a boy
can look up to?

I watch these things and often discuss them with my husband and our
views are different to put it mildly.

In my opinion, a person isnt bad because they have different sexual
preferences than I do as long as they dont try to convince me that their
way is right for me too. Heck, with alot of you men out there, you prefer
the fairer sex and well, I dont fault you for that cause I dont prefer the
ladies over the men! To me, this is the same thing. Each of us like
what we like because we do. This is what makes us individuals. If we
all had the same likes and dislikes, the world would be a boring place!

Lets think more about looking at the person as an individual and what
they are capable of and less along the lines of grouping them in
because of a choice they make in life.

Ok hitting the send button now cause this one is gonna be a hot one!

YIS
