Subject:      RE: Gays want to be left alone???

<I think you are greatly mistaken.  Gays and lesbians are extremely
<active trying to make the rest of us accept their ways.  And we cannot. It is
<against Judeo-Christian values.  They do not want to be left alone.

We want to be recognized as full and equal members in this supposedly equal
society.  Our foes talk of us looking for "special priveleges".  Let's look at
the record...

<They want to make statements by hanging homosexual obscenities in our museums
<and school hallways.  And they want us as taxpayers to pay for this.

Heterosexual art has hung in museums for centuries, sometimes at taxpayer
expense.

<They print obscene and slanderous articles in their newspapers about people
<that happen to disagree with them.

Can you go into detail here?

<They want business owners to pay for insurance to cover their "spouses".

Just as business owners pay for insurance to cover the "spouses" of
heterosexuals.  You are trying to have special rights and preferential
treatment for heterosexuals!

<They want to make our churches accept them as they are with no willingness to
<stop partaking in homosexual acts.

This is an issue for the Churches proper.  Some Gays go and form their own
Churches, such as MCC.  Some are trying to change the churches they grew up in.

<They want us to let them be our spiritual leaders, our clergy, and teach our
<children.

Just as do heterosexuals.

<They want to be teachers and principals, role models for our children.

I know several Gays and Lesbians I'll take as role models for my kids over any
heterosexual.

<They wish to take control of the mass media to continually bombard other
<Americans with their agenda.

Just like everyone else who has an agenda.

<They seek political office to be our governors and our
<representatives.

It's what's called representative government.  Perhaps you've heard the term.
We've figured out that to get ourselves represented, we'll have to elect
someone who will represent us.  Simple, really.

<How can they represent Christian values?

How can yopu expect the ones who aren't Christian to do so?

<They want to be inseminated and raise families.

I know very few gay men who find a connection between being inseminated and
raising families.  I know Gays and Lesbians who are doing an excellent job of
raising their children.

<Their totally mixed-up children pay the price for their selfish,
<politically motivated, confused acts.

Wrong again.  They want kids for the same reasons anyone else does.  And the
kids I've seen are doing fine.

<They have created  a huge division in our country by labeling
<people who disagree with them "Christian Right-wingers" and "Homophobes".

Right after you spent centuries creating a huge division by excluding us from
free society.

<They move into conservative neighborhoods and hang "Gay-pride flags"
<from their living room windows and then react with shock when they get a rock
<thrown through their windows (which I, nor any Christian person should
<ever condone, but, hey, not everyone who disagrees with their ways is a
<practicing Christian).

As someone else has pointed out, you have just condoned the violence.

<With over 10,000 lesbians already artificially inseminated and raising
<children, according to Newsweek this week, I wonder what next!
<The truth is, WE just want to be left alone. We want our CHILDREN to be
<left alone. We want our businesses, our lives, our taxes, and our religions
<and churches to be left alone.

If you wish to be left alone, then leave us alone.  As full equal members in
the Republic.
