Of course certain things like running a red light are very clear cut. But when it comes to moral and ethical issues people are going to base their thoughts, and thus actions, in their beliefs.

Yes, I know, but the people it irks, it doesn't effect... so this irks me.

Not directly, but they feel it affects their way of life. People like living in communities where everyone is pretty much the same. It gives them comfort. If a difference is perceived in the community, they either don't want in their community, or if it is there, they don't want it at all. Not fair, but that is how people are.

However, acceptance has come along way in the last 30 years (thanks to AIDS ) and so hopefully 30 years from now it will be that much more accepting

Good luck with that! There are some people today who are still angry that the South lost.

LOL, I know this is how people are, and I never for a second thought that they weren't... still doesn't make it right? Can't we all just get along!!!

I know, its disgusting, however, they are entitled to their opinions, I am just glad their opinions are not in effect.
