Sometimes the minority needs protection from the majority. See civil rights movement. Cue a roll of the eyes from Tex.

Yep, although those things are sins, there is an "upside" to them. There's no upside for an active LDS kid to choose to be gay.

I wonder how Tex and cougarobgon rationalize suicides by devout LDS gays?

Board of Education, Topeka, KS Sorry for the repeat, Tex, but I'm sort of tired of the same old lame argument. EDIT: Sorry--Flystripper already got this one. Hadn't read his yet. |

Also, you're not really making an argument in favor of the tyranny of the majority, are you? Many of us think we have a duty to protect the rights of the minority.
