I seek no comments, but thank you for yours. You are certainly entitled to your opinion and I respect that.

"The insistance[sic] that those who don't necessarily approve of homosexual behavior (and for the record I don't care what two adults do in private) are "close minded, immature, etc..." shows the authors passing just as much judgement[sic] as those they wag their finger at."
If you wish to quote what I said, please do so, but do it correctly. I did use the word close-minded. "[I]mmature, etc." were not written by me nor were they implied. The term closed-minded is not a term of judgment. Closed-minded by definition is "Intolerant of the beliefs and opinions of others" (dictionary.com). This is not a judgment of other people by me, but a mere description of the attitudes of that person. Using a word to describe someone is not judgment. Is it judgment to call a white person white? No. Would it be a judgment by me to call someone wearing a white tank top and cutoff jeans white trash? Yes. I don't believe anywhere in my blog that I judged anyone. There are indeed people who are closed-minded.

"Drop the politically correct pretense and get used to the idea that mainstream society will always have an issue with the 2-3% who engage in such behavior."
There is no political correct pretense here. This is a perfect example of judging. You make an assumption that is not true. I feel that homosexuals are people just like I am. If they think they are in love, so be it. Who am I (or anyone else) to say they should be treated differently for not loving the opposite gender. You are correct that society will never fully accept homosexuality. There is no denying that some people will remain close-minded. This is a simple fact, not a judgment.
