Hey Sister Irma,
[IT IS AGAINST THE LAW OF THE LAND TO SINGLE OUT ANY GROUP OR ,ECTIN THIS WAY . IS BY LAW CALLED DISCRIMINATION]
Absolutely agree with you on this point. The GLBT community has been treated poorly for so long and they are tired of the "crap" from the Evangelicals, Catholics, and the nay sayers in general. The GLBT community are human beings and although we may or may not agree with their lifestyles it doesn't give anyone the right to be hateful or mean spirited towards them.
It's just a matter of time before this fight that they are having will be an after thought in all of our memories just like the Civil Rights Movement has become to some of us (of course not your memory Sister Irma).
