For filing an amicus brief on the repeal of Prop 8. I saw Milk last week and it's a very strong reminder of how far we've come as a culture, and how far we have yet to go.

Congratulations to Google? For what? Being PC?

Be honest. Gays don't want parity. They want acceptance of their self-obsessed lifestyle and the destruction of the family unit headed by traditional husbands and wives.

For the sake of their fragile emotions, I guess we should also accept latin lovers and blond bimbos, or anyone else who finds it necessary to define their shallow life based solely on their sexual proclivity.

Pathetic.
