There is no logical or moral justification for discriminating against people on the basis of their sexual orientation. Anti-sodomy laws should be struck down and explicit civil rights protection should be granted to gays and lesbians. All discriminatory practices against gays and lesbians should be declared illegal, in both the public and private sectors. While cordiality and respect must be maintained, gays and lesbians must never resort to 'hiding' who they really are to the general public. After all, the freedom to be open, honest, and comfortable about their identity is rightfully the ultimate goal of the gay liberation movement.
Big government is completely out of control.
It's time for fundamental reform of our taxation system, either through the adoption of a fairer and simpler flat tax or the replacement of our current income tax with some form of a national sales tax. Americans certainly deserve tax relief. But rather than scrap our current progressive taxation system based on people's ability to pay, other reforms should first be considered. These might include a simplification of existing tax brackets, the expansion of the Earned Income Tax Credit, or college and vocational training tax credits for the working poor and the middle class. The economic hardships that most Americans face are attributable mainly to stagnant wages being paid out by corporate America, not over-taxation by government.
