That is a link to a recent news story, entitled "More than half of straight Americans wants gays treated equally:poll." A more accurate attention grabbing heading ought to have been "Almost half of Americans don't want gays treated equally!" Perhaps the other [almost] half is still under the archaic impression that being gay is a choice. Absolutely, couldn't agree more...if I had the choice, I'd definitely choose a life where people harass you, deprive you of basic rights afforded to a straight couple, and often change their opinions of you as a person. In the interest of not offending too many people, I will leave out a discussion of the popular reasons that people do not think gay people should be treated equally...but I'll bet you can guess.
Now my head hurts...i'm going to study.
P.S. - in case it was not obvious to you (because apparently everyone didn't pick up on it)...this post was meant to be sarcastic. Of course, being gay is not a choice! If you feel otherwise, then you are deluded. There is absolutely no reason in the world that gays should be treated any differently than anyone else and the fact that almost half of americans think otherwise is disturbing.
