Just for the record, who is gay in this thread? Quote and say 'I.'MotherSuperior

I... if being bi counts which I guess it does.

And on the subject of voiting, well of course I would but him/her/hir just being open about his sexuality does not garner my vote, the candidate has to have policies I would agree with, someone who uses their sexuality as a gimmic to garner attention and popularity if they did so to gain support, well I just couldn't sit with that, to me it's about the persons integrity as an individual, and what that means, as for the people who say no, well it is your choice, and I will respect that of you, but just remember, we didn't advance as a society by just hating everything different from us, progression came with acceptance. So even if you disagree with my life. I don't see what that has on me as a human being. Yes you may think same sex unions don't make sense or work, but ask yourself does much in this world today make sense for that matter? And not to keep spitting out the idea of "well if someone loves someone else shouldn't they be together?" But do you really think someone can't find the same love in someone of the same sex that some people of opposite sex can't find? And everybody has close friends, same or opposite sex, it doesn't matter, you don't question that till something out of the ordinary happens. To me it's the same view with this, love is love, and we were all meant to have someone, but just because some love is different, some people don't agree with it. Before you start saying it's just wrong. One of my best friends, her boyfriend strongly opposes homosexuality because he sees the human goal as to procreate, but I shoved that aside because he made her happy, and because of that he actually accepts me as a person, needless to say it wasn't that easy, this man wanted to tear my guts out for simply being bi, and I never thought I'd see the day he'd actually accept me as a person.. But beyond that, the fact remains, people have their own beliefs and they are entitled to it, but sometimes I just don't see the merit of calling their beliefs the "right" way. Everybody has their own way, and conflicts start with meddling in someone elses affairs. I personally believe it boils down to live and let live.
