You are changing a simple statement to make your own statement.
A lot of people become homosexuals for financial gains ... is a simple statement.

Are you fogging because you don't like the argument?
Look, you say people become homosexual for financial gain. That means that if they become homosexual, they get more money somehow. How?
Please give a concrete example if you can.

I know. It's so they can get a sweet TV deal in Queer Eye for the Straight Guy - or something like that.

Personally, I am not against anyone having equal rights. My problem is that in my eyes, when "equal" rights are given to a group of people by the government, they seem to have a way of morphing into "special" rights. Face it, if a black guy, a Hispanic guy, a gay guy, a woman, and a white guy came to give me a bid on a contract, if all bids were reasonably similar and the question came down to awarding the contract based on my personal opinion, the white guy would be the only one I wouldn't be afraid of refusing.

I suppose institutionalized discrimination does have consequences, sometimes negative, when efforts are made to move forward out of it.

Thanks for that eminently even tempered response. Where is that thumbs up smiley?

I've personally been negatively impacted by affirmative action, but I still see the need for it (unfortunately). It's a fine line deciding when something like this is no longer necessary.

Agreed. When women get equal pay for equal work I'll be satisfied.
Patty didn't make me write that. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
