Why should anyone care? Why should anyone be arrogant enough to try and impose their religious beliefs (and the sense of moral superiority that comes from them) on anyone else? Gay people exist. They chose to gather once a year at WDW. Don't go then if you have issues. But realize there are gay folks there everyday, including a fair amount of those CMs. That Winnie the Pooh posing with Grannie from Missouri could actually be flamer Brad from Vista Way! What a waste of time and energy to expend on other folks' sex lives. People should focus on their own.

Originally Posted By danyoung >Why should anyone be arrogant enough to try and impose their religious beliefs (and the sense of moral superiority that comes from them) on anyone else?< Well, that's exactly the problem. The standard religious belief is that homosexuality is a sin - it's not a matter of wiring or plumbing, it's a choice that confused people make. And then it becomes their duty to help people out of their erroneous ways and back to the light. I was totally amazed years ago when I was talking to my Protestant preacher father about this. I told him that there is new evidence all the time that homosexuality is based on real hard science and not just on choice. I asked him if scientists ever were able to absolutely prove this, then what would that do to his religious beliefs? He thought a minute and then admitted that he'd have to make some adjustments. Very cool was my dad!

Maybe that’s the crux of problem within the “movementâ€. No one has made the realization that the common thread for special dispensation is who you have sex with?
