  Gay Rights Advancing in the Heartland

  So many people, when thinking about gays & lesbians, see nothing but a sex act.  They can't see the real people.  If you are straight, when exactly did you CHOOSE the gender to which you were going to be attracted?  Feeling an attraction, physically, emotionally & spiritually is NOT something you CHOOSE.  It's WHO YOU ARE.  I've never chosen to fall in love with a person of my own gender - it's just the way it is.  I'm capable of choosing to have sex with the opposite gender, I suppose (though I can't imagine why I would), but doing so would not be especially kind, nor would it be honest.  And, in my case, it would certainly be empty - without any emotional component - completely unfair to the other party.  Is this what the "religious right" among us feel is the correct way to behave?  They rail against gays for being promiscuous, then they tell us we can't have a stable, monogamous relationship either.  They want it both ways.  I guess what they are really saying is that old "pursuit of happiness" guarantee for American citizens doesn't apply to us.
