127. It's not a question of "harm," it's a question of hypocrisy
Do as I say, not as I do is their axiom. It's the equivalent of decreeing that fried food is bad for you and must be banned, and then sneaking off for a bucket of chicken.

They have their cake and eat it too. They preach one way and live another. It's no different than Swaggart's "I have sinned" moment. Should we have respected HIS privacy? Come on. You're treating gay people like a "protected class" or a helpless "other." They aren't. They are a steady percentage of our society down through the ages. They are your neighbors, your relatives, your friends, your coworkers.

It's not the orientation, it's the HYPOCRISY.

You're welcome to your opinion, of course, but this issue is not about sex, about orientation, about precisely what anyone does with their fiddly bits--it's about saying one thing, and doing another.

When you serve in elective office and make laws that harm a group of people that includes you, or are being paid with taxpayer money to help a legislator push an agenda you yourself do not follow, people have a right to know if you are doing that.
