Yes, I did say this.  Of course much of what I said has been removed, but I
guess that adds to the "effect", right?

I see nothing hateful in the above paragraph.  Can you point out where I have,
in anything I have written, been hateful?  Or is this just a word you use to
describe those who believe that this type of lifestyle is not OK for their 
children.

And of course you neglected to include the piece in between where I told that
I was responsible for the deaths of so many ...

Ah, but had you included the full piece you reply might not have had that same
effect, huh?

I included the paragraph above to annoy the individual I was originally 
responding to.  You know, when you tell your parents (is parents an OK word, or
is that another one of those Christian things?) you hate them and they reply
with the line "that's OK, I have enough love for the both of us ...".  I always
found that so annoying.

|And yet you indicated your hatred in the excerpt from the first article.

What hatred?  I don't hate gays.  I just don't accept that lifestyle as being
valid for my family.  I also dislike pornography, beastiality and jumping from
partner to partner, and believe none of these should be presented to my 
children while they are at school.  

|Do you have to hate? If not, then why do you?

Hate costs too much.  I don't hate (excluding limabeans, of course).
This seems to be the common theme of anyone who disagrees with the "liberal"
cause.  Anyone who does not follow our views is: hateful, ignorant, close 
minded, ...
