Even the best of them can only hold off for about 30 minutes before confessing their objection is based soley on the fact that man/man love is just icky. As soon as you get them there, they won't argue anymore - primarily because they know the Constitution even protects the "icky".

I worked with a guy who was so anti-gay "agenda" (as he put it) it really consumed way too much of his time, IMO. Oregon Citizens Alliance (anti-gay group) signs filled his lawn every election season. As a group we all went Reno one year. After a night of loosing cash and getting a little drunk at the tables most of us made our way to the nearest strip club. I found myself sitting next to him near the stage. At some point two girls came out on stage and started the bump-n-grind while removing most of their clothes. In Reno they don't (didn't?) get completely naked. They were required to leave their panties on by law. You can have prostitution- but strippers must leave their underwear on, whatever. Anyway these two girls started making out and preforming simulated sex on stage. I looked over at my co-worker and said "bet this makes you want to leave." "Why?" "Umm, because their behavior is pretty graphically homosexual." "No it's not... it's two chicks." Ok, I always thought you were a whack job, now I have no doubt.
