I&#8217;m sure gays across the world will take advantage of this &#8211; even though they already control the date-matching market in airport bathrooms and in rest stop foliage.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s like suing a Chevy dealer because he doesn&#8217;t sell toasters, too. There&#8217;s no civil rights issue here &#8211; it&#8217;s just the camel finally getting his tail under the tent.<\/p>\n<p>It brings to mind the &#8220;gays in the military&#8221; issue which will certainly raises it&#8217;s head this year, like it does every time we get a new president. It&#8217;s not that gays are some sort of vast manpower reserve that&#8217;s been untapped for recruiters &#8211; gays don&#8217;t really want to join the military. If they did, they could join and just not be gay for their term of service.<\/p>\n<p>Gays just want all of the barriers lifted &#8211; they want a general acceptance of their lifestyle choice despite the fact that many find their lifestyle choice to be deviant. The rest of us aren&#8217;t allowed to have opinions like that &#8211; we&#8217;re too judgemental and that hurts their self esteem. They discovered what the majority of Californians think of their lifestyle this last election and it&#8217;s driven them to hateful, disgusting anti-social behavior in an attempt to change the will of the majority.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t care what people do in the privacy of their homes. What I don&#8217;t like is someone telling me I have to accept it &#8211; in fact, I&#8217;m probably more likely to resist someone telling me I have to accept something than if they&#8217;d just kept their stupid mouth shut in the first place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, this morning, reading my usual news sources, I find on Michelle Malkin and Moonbattery that &hellip; <a title=\"eHarmony forced to sell toasters\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=5404\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">eHarmony forced to sell toasters<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5404"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5404\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
