In response to political decisions being moral decisions: I disagree. For most people, yes. For politicians? My cynicism says no. For politicians, most decisions are not morally based put made with one eye on the next election and the other on lobbyists and contributors.
A politician will be forced to resign for making claims that Israel wants the U.S. to attack Iraq or for waxing nostalgic for the days of Strom Thurmond's presidential bid on the grounds that s/he's not being inclusionary. A poltician may, however, attack a large group of people based upon sexual orientation and still be considered a person of inclusion.
My question to all politicians and all those in society regarding homosexuality is this: so what? Who cares if a man is sexually attracted to other men or if a woman is sexually attracted to another woman? What bearing does one's sexual orientation have on <b>anything</b> except their love life?
To those who claim it's a sinful lifestyle, I don't see them going after other "sinful" lifestyles with as much gusto they use to go after homosexuality.
It's not the sin they're after, it's something else. I'd like to know what it is they're truly after.
