Apparently, Rep. Mark Foley is homosexual. And like many homosexual
men, he likes young teen boys. We should pray for him that he gets a
handle on this problem and refrains from harming any more kids.
Meanwhile, we need to wake up. The fact that this is typical behavior
for homosexuals doesn't stop us from continuing to elevate such folks
to positions where they gain access to our kids.

Yes, and did you know that use of web-tv is indicative of lower economic

spouse, you steal, you have poor hygene, illegally dump your trash, rip off
the government and hardworking people everywhere by using greenstamps to
support your alcoholism and gambling addictions, and medicare to support
your addiction to prescription drugs. The list goes on and on, you fucking
scum bags--how dare you show your inferior faces here, you sub-hominid

Gee, that is fun!
Nice work. That'll ensure this lovely thread goes longer. F-U set.

Fascism? Gays?
In Germany, the fascists demonized, oppressed and finally rounded-up
and exterminated gays (gives ya woody just thinking about that, huh

party members like Hernamm Goering. Party members were protected.

They seem to be more likely to be 'ephebephiles'- post-pubescent minors as
the object of desire.
They seem more likely to be rapists as well- as witness the incidence of
forced sex in all-male environments like prison outnumbering the incidence
of all intergender rape.
Chas
In case you don't know, prison rapes are predominently committed by
heterosexuals, either to "get off" with someone when the only
available "someones" are of the same gender or to assert dominance
over another inmate. They think that if you rape another inmate, you
own him. Don't ask me why. This is a prison culture thing outside my
personal experience.

This kind of bigoted junk is what leads ("justifies"...?) that nutty
Baptist church group from Kansas to its actions in picketing soldiers'
(and the recently killed girls in Pennsylvania) funerals, of all things!!!
Somehow in their twisted views, they appear to believe that their
hatred for homosexuals justifies this... This is ridiculous and
disgusting. BTW - I'm always amused by these hate groups
arguing that gay people somehow undermine "family values", yet
they fight against gay marriage - and fail to recognize the MANY
successful and happy gay families that exist (and, gosh, many even
with children! ;-). Marriage rights should be enjoyed by ALL, not
just some in our society (Remember when marriage between
different races was outlawed? Or, further back, when it was at
the whim of the master?). These anti-gay people are soon (I hope)
going to be viewed with the same contempt as we now view those
trying to limit the marriage rights of Blacks. I also have to laugh at
the idea that anyone can be "lured" into being homosexual (or for
that matter, lured into being heterosexual...;-) - people are what
they are, and should be able to live as what they are and as they
wish, so long as that does not (truly...!!!) inflict harm on others.
Bigotry be dead!!!
Hating the current Republican party and what it stands for, no. Hating
Republicans as a whole, yes.

Gosh, "I hate to break it to you", but heterosexual couples don't
necessarily have children, homosexual couples include women (one
of the prejudices often encountered is that homosexuals are only
male...;-) who *can* have children (with the aid of a male friend
or sperm bank), and gay couples of both sexes can and do adopt
children (who generally turn out to be heterosexual - big surprise,
since homosexuality is not "catching"..!.;-).
Politically correct bullshit.
They're homosexuals- that's the basic definition of homosexual; having sex
with men. You may want to consider them 'bisexual', but the bottom line (as
it were) is that they're interested in men-
same thing in women's prisons-
Chas
And if Foley didn't have the protection of homosexuals' political
correctness, and had gone after a couple of 16 yr old girls, he'd be looking
at twenty years in prison.

It's much the same as with 'gay marriage' proponents that distance
themselves, sometimes quite contemptuously, from plural marriage advocates;
or consanguinity by measures we don't recognize; or age-of-consent rules, so
on.
Everybody's got some 'twisted views', and everybody is subject to get rude
about it.

There were lots of places where such marriages were approved; others where
not.
In much of Asia, the denigrated race was 'white'- asian women who married
whites were despised, their children of mixed-race treated very shabbily.
In other words; the condition of 'racialism' is not confined to some
degenerate group of Americans.

Lots of youngsters are seduced by chickenhawks- many, to their lasting shame
and self-degradation. Many go on to predate on younger children; often with
attendent violence.

Let's see...
By this logic, (almost?) all male prisoners are homosexual while in
prison, regardless of their likely VERY un-homosexual preferences
(for most) while out of prison? Likewise for women... You mistake
homosexual acts forced by the situation (or present among young
people experimenting sexually) with homosexuality - but the two are
quite different! The OP has it right.

What a bunch of nonsense! Anti-war protesters may be rude sometimes
(I'm glad they are - we must not be sheep led by our leaders into bad
wars with no protest!). And you don't see any more than comment
about the pederasty in the Catholic Church - not a denouncement of
that Church as a whole (though it has done some mighty nasty things in
its history, coming from the top down and not just the bottom up as with
the current problems). People do want to speak out, often loudly (gee,
surprise, if they feel they are not otherwise being heard). This is different
from disrupting *funerals* for our ***SOLDIERS*** who have died in
service to our country - who should be honored (*regardless* of what
we may think of the war!). And, now we have innocent children shot
by a nut who apparently couldn't deal with his sexual demons - and the
nuts from Westboro baptist Church in Kansas threaten to come and
upset these very peaceful and passive Amish during their funerals,
adding to the distress of their losses...
Come on - this almost defines evil!!!

I don't...;-) One must really examine what is "known" for both logic and the
real truth before coming to conclusions about these. Otherwise, it is just
more prejudices...

OK, if it has some truthful examination of the facts and logic, and not

Marriage in the US is a state recognition of a union. It may be
additionally regiously sanctioned (or not - it makes no difference
legally...). It is not right to deny a state right to some that is granted
to others (and this recognition of unions does carry with it legal
and financial liabilities/advantages, making it not inconsequential).

(Though there may not necessarily be additional included groups,
at least for quite a while. When I was a kid I heard nothing at all about
gay people except my cousin relating how he helped beat one up

marriage actually exists in limited areas in the US (and in more in the
rest of the world [tells yuh sumpin', don' it?;-]).

The shame (and subsequent psychological problems) can be attributed
more to the guilt and shame (and feelings of need to hide) put on them by
our social-sexual pressures (and the "nuclear family", which is very unrealistic).
If you look at history where man-boy relationships were prized (as in
Rome), generally no harm came from the relationships, the older person
often served as a mentor, and the younger proceeded later to be in a
heterosexual relationship. BTW, many of the Europeans consider us
(properly) to be up-tight prigs about sexuality, which does us more harm
than good in the end.

If I hit you and cause you physical injury or death, that is "harm";
if a male married same-sex couple walks down the street by you in
Massachussets holding hands, that causes you no harm (except what
you generate internally from your bigotry...). That distinction is simple.

I would change that then to *some* men (and women) perform
homosexual acts for various reasons in prison, but relatively few of

And you have an interesting definition yourself. Let's explore it
a bit: is a male who has ... oh, say, one homosexual experience as
young boy, followed by a lifetime of heterosexuality -- is this
individual a homosexual? Or was a homosexual, but got over it?
Or what?

Apparently you're not familiar with the Web.
Oh, BC will claim that they do not.
Of course, Googling on "hot teen" gives something in excess
of three million hits. None, apparently, of the slightest

Nonesense. If he went after a couple of 16 year old girls, he'd be
looking at zero years in prison because the age of consent in
Washington D.C. is 16. If you don't like that, don't blame me - I
didn't write the law.

THere's a lot wrong about posting lies designed to spread hatred
against a minority - that's what the Nazis did and doing the same
thing fundamentally makes you as bad as they were morally (even though
they were more effective at causing damage than you are.)
Of course we all decry such egregious rudeness-
but one might well include anti-war protesters like Cindy Sheehan for some
of her activities; or any other political activist you don't like.
> And, now we have innocent children shot

Yeah- dating back until he was twelve.
Mark Foley is now citing his being molested by a 'clergyman' as the genesis
for his perversion.

Which hardly compares- tacky as it may be.
> Marriage in the US is a state recognition of a union.
Yes- they arrogated to themselves the jurisdiction over ecclesiastical law
some decades ago.
The protest is generally religious in nature and has no real relevance to
secular law at all.

You may draw any contract you want- more generous than 'marriage', or less
so, at your discretion.
States, as in Colorado, assert an interest in marriage on account of
children; not much else. They also assert an interest in plural marriage-
both because of the large population of Mormons, and the Treaty People of
the Ute Tribe.
>> If you want Government Approval for your domestic relationship, you've

> ??? Or, if I get what you mean, "one considered step at a time...";-)
Then you've got to take your turn- plural marriage has been a question since
the 1890's or so, and a more pertinent question in this area presently.
Plural marriage also raises questions of consanguinity and, very often, age
of consent to marriage.

I referred to your group of racialists whom you hold in such contempt.
But, while I don't hold all gays to be 'degenerates' (although some
demonstrably are), I do consider it a 'deviation'. I don't approve of
criminal sanctions for it- neither do I consider it an excuse for some sorts
of activities rightfully regulated by society.

Sure- nothing wrong with Guilt&Shame, when and where appropriate.
Our greatest opprobrium is reserved for sexual transgressions; infidelity,
age span, idee fixee`, gender/species- all kindsa classifications of
deviants.

They also gloried in the most bizarre associations of sex with death,
kiddie-fucking, watching women forced to sex with animals, unlimited rapine
of conquered women- and the vast population of slaves.
Seems a curious example if chosen in support of your thesis that it's
'normal' or something.

What possible relevance could that have to anything-
base your life on what eurotrash twinks will espouse?
Quelle fromage.
> If I hit you and cause you physical injury or death, that is "harm";
But not the only sort of harm-
Let's take a genderfuck-nun with 'costume' exposed genitalia, deliberately
targeting devout catholics- is that not the intentional infliction of
emotional distress?
And, just as a practical observation; if you know something excites a
significant negative reaction from some people, probably best to exercise
some discretion about it. As an example, best not to do it whilst strolling
into a mosque with your shoes on.

Yes; it is simple- and kind of impertinent/irrelevant by its illogical
extreme.

He doesn't sound homosexual to me-
a homosexual does homosexual things- sounds like he doesn't do homosexual
things, so it would seem self-evident.
Chas
Coersion isn't a sexual choice; except as regards 'survival'.
Homosexuals often predate on the weaker- lots of weird dominant/submission
stuff in that community anyway.

There's always 'us' and 'them'.
Whether that's sufficient to fight about is a choice on both sides.
Chas
So we're going with the "tautology" choice then. What of
some subset of these prisoners who do only heterosexual
things before and after prison, but "do homosexual things"
while on the inside, out of lack of other opportunity? What are they?

But he did at one point "do homosexual things" -- a fairly common youthful
experience, it seems. Was he a homosexual when he did these homosexual
things, but he since stopped being one?

No tautology there; homosexuals are defined by their practices.

Plainly, homosexual- insofar as the who-gives-a-fuck meter goes; some care,
some don't.
Homosexuals do homosexual things, buddy.

Obviously.
It is, for many, a matter of choice, not birth.

The 'Foley Law', as I understand, prohibits interstate communications which
have such content with persons under 18.
There is also the consideration that most laws giving 16'ers 'consent', do
so only with partners 18 or under. If the age difference is greater, the AOC
rises to 18.
Further, the state in which the one youngster resides, the operative
jurisdiction, is over 16 (I've seen 17 and 18 cited).

Heterosexuals often predate on the weaker, to the tune of
about a hundred thousand -- reported -- cases of rape a year.

But sanctioned discrimination based on us and them should
require a convincing ethical underpinning.

But apparently, going by your response to my example, doing heterosexual
things does not a heterosexual make -- if, under some conditions, he also
does homosexual things.

How about you? Could you -- just for the sake of experiment, mind
you -- choose to be homosexual, maybe just for the next twenty
minutes or so? Could you sit down, right now, and consciously
decide to become so aroused by the thought of some hunk's cock
in your mouth that you will get an erection, perhaps even
ejaculate?
Or is this chooseable only for some, but not you?
-- cary
Homosexual rape in prison is often cited as 2,000,000 incidents per year.
>> lots of weird dominant/submission stuff in that community anyway.

Yeah; how weird- conflating dungeon stuff with sex.
There are some very strange people prancing about the Big Green Tree, bud.

Sure- the relaxation of some ethical underpinning is what you seem to
demand.
You seem to conflate 'discrimination' based on activities with
discrimination based on heredity. Our Constitution prohibits 'corruption by
blood' in it's earliest form, but it doesn't excuse activities prohibited by
civil law. The greatest scope of laws prohibiting sexual acts have to do
with heterosexuals, not homosexuals- far more people in jail over being
inappropriately 'heterosexual' than homosexual.
Chas
'Homosexual' isn't some sort of exclusionary word- it's obvious, for
instance, that one can be both Homosexual and Republican; Homosexual and
Clergy (if the Republican's report is credible); Homosexual and
Sado-Masochistic; Homosexual and Ephebephilic; Homosexual and Pedophilic-
nothing exclusionary there, pal.

I've thought about that, and decided some years ago that it wasn't my
proclivity; same with S&M, or the fetish stuff- I pretty much think they've
got entirely too much time on their hands.
> Or is this chooseable only for some, but not you?
Others seem to be ready to make all sorts of choices that I don't share- and
homosexuality is way on down the line from some of the things I feel
strongly about.

I'm not sure.
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Foley#Legislation_regarding_pornography_and_sexual_offenses>
describes some of his legislation reagrding interstate communications of
a pornographic nature, but it seemed designed to shut down web sites
that were trying to exploit children or teenagers.
<http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/politics/news-article.aspx?storyid=66076>
claims Foley
-- Helped write legislation to ban "virtual child
pornography."
-- Introduced legislation to ban "child erotica" websites.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find the actual legislation in
question. If you have a link to that (i.e., the text of the law on a
House or Senate web site), it would help clarify the issue.

When I checked some web sites, what I found was that the age of consent
in Washington D.C. was 16, but there was also a rule about the age
difference being no more than 4 years when the younger of the two was
under 16 (but older than some minimum, or something like that).
No, the examination of this allegedly ethical underpinning. It makes
no sense to me -- and I'm straight.

Really? What acts are legally forbidden to heterosexuals, but not
forbidden to homosexuals?
>far more people in jail over being inappropriately 'heterosexual' than homosexual.
Hardly surprising, as there are far more straights than gays.
All of which has little to do with what I was talking about -- when I
said "sanctioned discrimination", I was talking about culturally-accepted
attitudes, not legal sanction.
-- cary
And, similarly, Homosexual and Heterosexual?
If not, we're right back to my question, above.

So you consciously chose to become straight, but it could have gone
either way? Sort of like picking the best mortgage plan or something?
Me, I never even gave it a thought, back when such things suddenly became
unbearably urgent.
Which makes me inclined to accept it when gays tell me much the
same thing.

Well, I have more than enough time for sex, but S&M simply doesn't appeal.
I don't think one choses what gets the tumesence going.

Or perhaps it was no choice at all -- no more than I had to take time
to make kind of choice back when the hormones kicked in.

And I feel that love is love, and lust is lust, and I'm not terribly
concerned about the details of the plumbing. And I would that
others could share my unconcern.

A homosexual is someone who PREFERS sex with people of his/her own sex.

Well, I guess you just choose to ignore what I wrote above
(which happens to be true). And there have been enough
gay-raised straight children over a long enough time (and
straight-raised gay children - often "forgotten", but they come
from somewhere, and NOT from being somehow lured into
being gay [gosh, how insecure must straight people be to believe
that that is possible...! ;-]). I would add to that that homosexuals
*can* have children with the opposite sex (note the many gay
people who finally accept their sexuality and then leave their
heterosexual marriage/relationship, sometimes taking their kids with
them). You can call them bi-sexual if you want (and bi-sexuality
does exist...), but it is usually not the case, and the decision to
"come out" and live in truth about ones identity can be a wrenching
one. And, lest the definition of "marriage" be a sticking point
for you (ah, those heathen gays, who live together without
marriage [never mind that they are generally prevented from
marrying...! ;-]), it is here (note b-b, do NOT "overlook it!;-):
1.. A fundamental social group in society typically consisting of one or two parents and their children.
2.. Two or more people who share goals and values, have long-term commitments to one another, and reside usually in the same
dwelling place.

boil down to beliefs and not to facts...) what you want, since
I guess little will change your mind (unless maybe you have

So, this indicates that most prisoners are homosexual? Or that the

homosexual acts? Or that, given a choice (not being in prison), most
would not be predators? Or that some within either group, given a

The point is that there is a wide range of sexual proclivities, not
exclusive to either homosexuals or heterosexuals. To blame one
group for activities shared by the other is silly. And, even activities
many would consider strictly homosexual are commonly shared
by heterosexuals (big surprise...;-). For instance, the Texas
anti-sodomy law caught both homosexuals and heterosexuals
in its trap (and since there are far more heterosexuals......;-).

No one cares, or can ascertain, what goes on in the mind of a homosexual-
you're defined by your actions.
If you do homosexual things, you're a homosexual.
You may be something else as well- being a homosexual isn't a metaphysical
exclusionary to being afflicted in other ways as well.

Well, prisoners are already a cull-group of miscreants- and the 20 times
incidence of homosexual rape to hetero rape must be significant. It is
reflected in the popularity of S/M practices in the civilian homosexual
community.

They're already 'predators'- that's what got them in prison in the first

Homosexual predators.

Our society regulates sexual acts- age, consanguinity, numbers and sorts of
partners, sorts of acts, and so on. Our 'ethical underpinnings' are
completely supportive of that regulation.
Of course it is 'belief' that is the base for 'ethical' position-
> There are far more heterosexuals than homosexuals (gays are in
> the minority, or didn't you know that?;-).
Sure- that's why I find it cogent that 2,000,000 rapes a year are performed
by a minority- that widens the gap exponentially.

That's the same argument that child-molesters use; or necrophiliacs, for
that matter.
There are a lot of regulations on whom your partners might be, legally; of
age, human, alive, willing and able to knowledgably consent.....
Nothing 'unethical' about it- and 'unfair' is even less pertinent.

Nonsense. One's sexual orientation is not defined by acts, but by
attraction, and I'll prove it to you--no one thinks of a virgin as having
_no_ sexual orientation, do they?
> You may want to consider them 'bisexual', but the bottom line (as

They're interested in fucking. There's a difference. If you introduced a
woman into any male prison, she would get pounced on by everyone--maybe
even fucked to death. But when a guy goes months, _years_ without ever
even _seeing_ a female in person...they learn to settle.

Prison inmates are in the same exact position--they engage in male/male
sex at one point in their lives (while they're in prison), and the rest of
their lives is a "lifetime of heterosexuality." So why do you not think
the male in the example is gay, but you think the inmates are?

No, they aren't. That's just the method bigots use to try and identify

the same gender, how would you ever know who to condemn? *rolls eyes*

You're contradicting yourself. Two examples (one hypothetical, one not) of
a male who has a small (compared to the rest of his life) period where he
does stuff with the same gender, while the rest of his life he only
'shacks up' with women, and you say one isn't a homosexual, and the other
is.

That's not what we're talking about. Asking yourself "Am I turned on by
this?" and realizing that "no, I'm not" is nothing but _realization_ of
the attractions you already have or don't have.
If sexual orientation were subject to choice, you could _make_ yourself
gay for a time, and change back and forth whenever you wanted. But no one
can force him/herself to be attracted to something that he/she isn't
attracted to.

Any evidence that it happens more than in heterosexuals? I'm pretty sure
heterosexuals are 'winning' when it comes to "predation"--females are the
gender raped far and wide the most often, and call it a gut feeling, but I
don't think it's GAY guys raping them. :P

Only if you're talking about the _human_ community. Stop trying to make it

It was mainly Kinsey's work that got homosexuality taken off the list of
mental illnesses.
Haven't seen that undone yet--maybe mainstream medicine doesn't agree with
you when it comes to Kinsey--and I think they're far more academic. :)

Wow! You sure do demonstrate your bigotry with your
responses above!!! Gosh, it is now REALLY crystal-clear
that you have ***NO*** concept of what human sexuality
is, what the variations are, how they relate to the real world
and to interpersonal interactions, or anything else related
to homosexuality or sexuality in general. You, like many,
just close your eyes, ears, and mind and thoughtlessly mumble
over and over, "bad, bad, bad,bad"! You should be ashamed

And you are completely ignorant of the _other_ myriad ways to bring a
child into the care of a pair of parents? Adoption is the main one. The
current stat is 10 million children who live with gay parents. I hate to
break this to you. :P

Do you consider restricting the marriage of close-relatives to be 'bigotry'?

Wrong again! lol
We know very clearly that a child raised by gay parents has exactly the
same chances of being gay, straight, or anything else (stuff unrelated to
sexuality) as any other child. The gender/orientation of the parents has
been _proven_ to be COMPLETELY immaterial.
You really ought to educate yourself:

And you're wrong...again. :)
Yeah-
homosexuals are already a minority group- the incidence of 'predation'
amongst that minority group seems, as with the evidence of 20X the incidence
of rape, and the high incidence of sub/dom and dungeon freeks, to be higher
by an order of magnitude than the 'majority' population.
And the comparison is impertinent anyway- do we tolerate child-molesters
because they're 'heterosexual'? Of course not.

Actually, the incidence of homosexual rape in prisons alone is significantly
higher than the incidence of heterosexual rape in a much larger population.

Agree with me about what?
Kinsey was an early researcher- his whole identity is bound up with his
time-frame, not his academic rectitude. He's on par with the Orgone Box- of
interest only historically.

But of course most prison rape is committed by heterosexuals.

Nothing 'quick' about it-

No doubt some of it is. But in prison, most of it is committed by
heterosexuals.

What was being said (by the few sensible people posting on this topic)
is that these are independent traits: if pedophiles make up x percent
of the population, they also make up x percent of the gay population.
Child molesters are, however, more likely to be straight: either gay
pedophiles are better at controlling themselves or it is harder for
them to find victims.
It is probably committed *on* heterosexuals, but it's committed *by*
homosexuals- by definition.
What part of that do you not understand?
Chas
Except that Lars is right. Do you think most guys are gay because
they manage to get themselves aroused with nobody else around as
they "abuse themselves"? (Please replace "abuse themselves" with
your favorite euphamism.)

No, it isn't. A homosexual is someone who prefers sex with a person
of his own sex. Some who has sex with person of the opposite sex when
they have a choice is a heterosexal.
Eating a carrot doesn't make you a vegan, and having sex with men in prison
or any other place where there is no sexual access to women does not
make a homosexual of a heterosexual.

Homosexuals do homosexual things.

You're using an entirely inapplicable definition to the word 'homosexual',
insofar as it expressing itself in any way anyone cares about.
I'm not viewing this in a homosexual group- my interest is in the 'legal
aspect', not the psychosexual one. I don't care about your sexuality- only
the intellectual dishonesty as applicable in law.

Over MANY posts, I and others have supported well our

I've yet to see any real (objective) support on your part for
your views. It is you who have offered beliefs and illogical
suppositions only. For instance, you chose to ignore "Strife767"'s
collection of URLs presented to support just *one* aspect in
opposition to something you said, to no avail - and solid
references (beyond the facts, experiences, and the logic
related to these presented here) could be presented to support
others if anyone thought it would do any good with someone
as close-minded as you... (so, why bother...?).
You really ought to educate yourself - and here is "Strife767"'s
list showing that gay-raised children are no more likely to be
gay than those raised by straight parents (and, BTW, I did
note that gay children are generally raised by straight parents -
they came from somewhere, and did not somehow "catch"
homosexuality from someone who is homosexual, contrary
to the beliefs of the non-thinking anti-gay bigots).

No - I offered to leave it to others to judge who is right based
on the arguements and information presented, confident that
any truly thinking person would at the very least consider the
views and evidence presented by those who disagree with you
(I didn't expect that you would, though...;-). There is really little
worse intellectually than someone who refuses to accept evidence
that is contrary to his beliefs, and who continues to promote his
beliefs as truths in the face of contrary information. Shame on you!
(And, enough of this - I now dismiss you.)

Homosexuals don't rape. I have only heard of one in my entire life,
who was a particularly well hung guy who was always getting turned
down for being impractically large. Heterosexual men in prison DO rape
other males but they are still heterosexuals. They are fantasizing
about females, and would definitely prefer females.
If necessary, I will relate a story of my visit to a prison to lecture
on homosexuality and what the prisoners told me.
Homosexuality is defined in terms of sexual preference, not sexual
activity. A homosexual might have heterosexual sex as part of his
cover. He might be celibate (as I am). A man who had 1 homosexual
encounter for every 10 heterosexual ones would be termed heterosexual,
if he preferred the heterosexual ones or homosexual if he preferred
the homosexual one.

The rights heterosexuals enjoy that in some parts of the world
homosexuals do not, include:
1. right to marry your own choice of partner rather than someone
else's choice for you.
2. right to neck in cars.
3. same age of consent
4. right to hold hands or kiss in public
5. avoiding eviction based on landlord's opinion of your sex life
6. right to attend some churches
7. right to bring your spouse to the office party
8. pension survival right. Gays pay but cannot collect.
9. spousal medical/dental coverage. Gays pay but cannot collect.
10. adoption
11. police protection (police generally don't prosecute crimes against
gays. Police are usually bigoted and have the attitude gays deserve
it.)
12. right to life (in some parts of the world, gays are executed)
13. nude beaches
14. child custody after a divorce
