Let Religious New Yorkers Be Heard

Submitted by Lutz Barz, Jun 23, 2007 07:14

Let's not. Religion is a private affair. This is not the Middle Ages. Most gay men set far better examples than the so called `straight' and religiously minded. They don't go around shooting people, the don't advocate religiously sanction murder either. I'm not gay and realize that gays are upstanding decent citizens. What the rabidly inclined religiously outraged opinion makers and pressure groups intend is a `diktat', as, after all, they weren't elected. If that is American Democracy in action then I am starting to worry, am worried. Christians arm themselves to the teeth, but when gays want to lead their lives in a loving relationship the unelected self righteous start having mental hernias. Sad really.
