As long as waving a bible, sporting a wife/husband, and a couple of kids can be your proof of living a morally upright life, this country will prosecute gays and down grade the foolish. Worse, rather than looking at the issues or at the performace of the person in question, we look to the bedroom. Worse than seperation of church and state, it becomes a matter of privacy. No one has a right to look in my bedroom window, nor do they have a right to criticize who is a guest in my bedroom. (Good Goddess, I despise Bauer, and now I have to defend him?! Just as I despise Sanford for his ruin of SC, but still believe his affair not to be my business. I can criticize how he spent money, or where he was if we had an emergency - his love life and emails are not my business). Clinton was an excellent president, but we remember his scandal. Certainly poor behavior should not be condoned, but it cannot be legislated. And as long as sex is a media commodity, it override other media attention.<br /><br />Worse, as long as the accusation "he's gay" can cost someone there poltical office, then we obviously have a problem. Being married is okay. Being single is okay. But loving someone of the same sex suddenly brings into question your morals and values, whether you are conservative or libral. <br /><br />Somedays I just want to smack 'em all. Ya know?
