How does someone "force" someone to go to a Pride parade? Did they strap you on the back of a motorcycle driven by a big butch girl in a leather harness?

The thing that gets me about some Conservative denominations is that they try to put out the message that their denomination/church is welcoming to all, that they provide succor and shelter to all, but at the same time, they turn around and champion discrimination. I'll never understand that.

WTF is it to you or anyone else if Betty and Susie or Rico and Amir from down the street want to have legal, civil, and social recognition of their loving relationship? How in the world does a relationship between TWO people threaten any relationship that you or anyone else might have? I'm not being facetious here -- help me to understand. If I told you that my husband and I are polyamorous (which we are not, BTW), what's it to you?

The one good thing that will most likely come out of this legislation is that there will be a creative "brain-drain" from the US. Lots of lesbian and gay Americans will move north and bring their disposable incomes, talents, and skills along with them. When the creatives desert a society, that society is in trouble.
