[quote]Yes to all of the above when appropriate. My wife and I do hold hands in public, as do my children and I. Do I make out with her in public, no. My office is my house and therefore I am surrounded with pictures of my family. As far as announcing the marriage publicly, of course. She is a hottie and she was marrying ME, I found that so unbelievable that I had to put it in the paper or no one else would believe it.[/quote]
I didn't say make out. I said my partner and I would likely be holding hands at NAIAS.

[quote]What I can never understand is why the minority always feels it is their personal burden to force open the minds of the majority. I like Pontiacs, yet I don't hold parades every year trying to get Ford lovers to buy a Pontiac.[/quote]
Address what I am saying, not what you may have seen on the 6pm news in San Fran. The majority of gay people are not like what you see on T.V. Hell, neither my partner and I attend any pride parades. Few of our friends do. What gay people want is the freedom to do the things in my above list without persecution.
To say you support your co-worker yet wouldn't allow your son to see it reeks of hypocrisy. How about being the good role model and show your son how to be caring and accepting of other people's relationships regardless of your personal feelings?

Fine... in return we ask: No more hate, no more persecution, no more "constitutional amendments", no more unequal treatment.
Deal?
