Homosexual or Homo Sapien?

Look...I'm not a homosexual.  In fact, I am somewhat disgusted by the things that my mind imagines that go on in the bedrooms of homosexuals, but the fact is that I probably would be equally disgusted if I could peek into the bedrooms of heterosexuals.  Kinky sex was not invented by the gay folk in our midst.  I don't approve of the bondage/dominatrix thing, but I also don't particularly want to see laws to stop it.  What would be the point?  If two consenting adults do what they do behind closed doors, who am I to say them nay?

I am one of those who believes that gay folks are hard-wired to their sexuality from birth, and I think science will eventually prove me right.  Unfortunately, we aren't there yet.  The conservative Christians among us still believe that homosexuality is a choice.  Can you imagine a single person on the planet who would want to put him/herself on the firing line by choice?  Gender identity usually shows up in junior high or earlier to everyone else, but each homosexual person I have talked to (several) said they knew much younger.  Yeah...every child wants to be a societal outcast among peers.

Indiana--God bless its Bible Belt roots--has lost a court battle to ban same-sex marriage, and the governor has decided to take it to the Supreme Court.  The SC can refuse to review the case.  We'll see.  Meanwhile, it is obvious to ME that the case, should it be reviewed, will lose.  Sooo much tax money down the drain, but at least the Gov. can tell his conservative constituents, "See?  We tried, but the court shut us down.  Not my fault!"  It's all about politics.  In twenty years, long after I'm dead and gone, people can look back at this and understand that things were different then, in the same way that things were different twenty years ago.

I just get really, really weary of dealing with the nonsense.  For what it's worth, I'm rooting for the gay community to win the right to marry.  Government should NOT be involved in the bedroom.  If you disagree, take heart that the laws can be manipulated to change your life, too.  It's all about understanding.
