Jon,
Why people think they need to define another human being by who they choose to love or what they choose to do with mutual consent behind the privacy of their bedroom door is beyond me. Who you choose to love and who you choose to have in your life is no one else's business. I believe in human rights plain and simple. This "them" and "us" mentality is what has cause the majority of problems through out history. It is the main reason I choose not to vote or associate myself with any religious or political organization that feels they have to label themselves and others so onlookers can see that proverbial dividing line that says they are better than those on the other side of the line.
I see you as a kind, considerate, and compassionate human. If others can't see that then they just are not looking and probably will never see it. Understanding has limited vision through the eyes of Ignorance.
I think you can see where friday is coming from. The Nazi ignorant superior thinking mentality will never die.
Unfortunately ignorant red necks have as much right to live as snakes and spiders.
Your a good man JJ and I would be honored to call you a friend.
Dave
