Gilda,
I'm willing to agree to disagree on a variety of points with you. I agree that people SHOULD be treated equally regardless of differences. I'd love to see that be the case, but I don't hold a lot of hope that it will be in my lifetime or my childrens'. I'm also sorry if you feel I was condescending, it was not intentional... when I rant, I rant.

It's an assumption, one I see and hear a lot, that such behaviors, when engaged in by homosexuals, are done for the purpose of advertising one's sexuality, when the same is not said of heterosexuals.

I suppose, upon further examination, that this is true in my experience as well, though I've often seen people "flaunting" themselves in both cases for the purpose of putting on a public show. Frankly, I don't care either way (doubly so, affection or not, gay or straight). But yeah, I do see your point.
Also, Irish and Ukrainian? Aside from my immediate family, I've not yet found this combination elsewhere... it seems like all the Ukrainians that came to the US found Polish and Russian people to settle down with. Small world...
