The action not the person. People who practice homosexual sex can be some of the most beautiful, caring, creative and friendly people I've known. People are not defined and limited by their sexual relations as you so willingly seem to do. There is a huge difference between deriding an ACTION, and deriding a PERSON. You seem to think a persons sexuality is the be-all and end-all or else you wouldn't keep making the same inane and mistaken comments that I am in any way deriding homosexual people.
I don't see sexuality when I converse with a homosexual person. I see a human being. You on the other hand seem to think that a persons sexuality is their total being.

Excuses, excuses... [/QUOTE]Excuses? You define, limit, restrict and label a person purely on their sexual preference. Making them :them". An "other". Pile of horsemanure if you ask me. People are more than their sexual preference. Sexual preferences CHANGE bucko, in a VAST VAST number of cases. The homo becomes bi. The hetero becomes homo, the bi becomes hetero. Maybe you live in a sheltered coocoon where the media is all you reference, I don't know, but I've known too many who've moved around, changed, experimented and decided aspects of their sexuality to either have a generalisation about people who practice homosexuality, a prejudice, or the kind of limiting labelling you seem to vehemently perpetuate.
Again. The action is not the person. The action is something I have every right to decide against in my own life, in my spouses life, or in what I wish to encourage socially, religiously, economically or anything else.
The PERSON, who is so much MORE than a sexual object, is not the object of that derision. Any further attempts to qualify my words as being derisive of people perperpuates the limitations I have described in this post.
People are more than their gender, or their orientation. Try and see it a little that way.
