Only in Alabama (hopefully)

Rep. Gerald Allen, from the fine state of Alabama wants to introduce a bill to ban books, theatre productions or anything that "recognizes or promotes homosexuality as an acceptable lifestyle" from public schools and libraries. He thinks this is going to "protect children from the homosexual agenda."

Now, what exactly is the homosexual agenda, and how can it affect children? All of the homosexuals that I know just want to be free to love whomever they want to love and continue to go about their lives as accepted citizens. They don't eat small children, I swear, they don't.

Even the nice men and women on the Supreme Court agreed not to hear the case trying to stop gay people from getting married in Massachusetts. The Supreme Court didn't say why they wouldn't hear it because they never say why. But A U.S. appeals court that rejected the appeal on this, said the Constitution applies only to "real threats." So, I'm thinking they don't see gay people being together as a "threat" to anyone, even children, Mr. Allen.

I don't understand why there is so much hatred towards gay people. They can't help it. They were born that way. And they're being gay is not going to go away if we ignore it. We need to accept it and try to understand it. Not be all mean and stuff.
