For the life of me I can't figure out how being gay or lesbian or transgender or bisexual has any negative effect on a society. But the hatred demonstrated by homophobic people is very palpable. In the equation, it is they who are making this world a more violent, corrupting, terrifying place to be.

I've never heard a convincing argument as to why they believe being LGB or T is wrong. It always comes down to personal (or indoctrinated) beliefs. It really comes down to their own insecurities with their own sexuality.

Kerry needs to get his ass in gear and say no U.S.Olympic team will participate in these games, unless there is a crackdown on this brutality.
