If you want to hook up down south in the LA area or San Diego I can drop down Hwy. 5 very easily with little or no notice needed---maybe we can pencil in a Disneyland run too.

Here is a poll from the LA times on what most people think of being gay and i would agree with the majority on all accounts. <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/timespoll/la-000618abortpoll-442pa2an" target="_blank">http://www.latimes.com/news/na tionworld/timespoll/la-000618abortpoll-442pa2an</a>,1,7894326.htmlstory?coll=la-news-times_poll-nation

Originally Posted By trekkeruss The poll was hardly a landslide in your favor; it shows only 2% difference overall: "The results of the poll also show a split on gay rights, with 38% saying they approve of rights for gays (including lesbians) and 40% saying they disapprove." Also, contrary to your opinion, most Americans are okay with gay marriage: "nearly two thirds said that they could accept gays living together as a married couple." Anyway, all of this is mere strawman arguments with regards to Gay Days at DL. I suggest you either reschedule your vacation, or "suffer" in silence.

Originally Posted By iamgoofy Good try trekkus but that you are misreading it or misquoting Last paragraph "Continuing with the trend of not accepting gay lifestyle and yet opposing discrimination because of it, Americans are opposed to gay marriage (58%) but support benefits for gay couples such as tax breaks or health insurance (50%)." The article is not well written the paragraph you are quoting from is a continuation of the previous paragraph that ends with " 27% saying that gay relations were not wrong" and then the paragraph you are quoting "At the same time, nearly two thirds said that they could accept gays living together as a married couple."

But along with thatI bet all drugs will be legal and all forms of personal choice for that matter like prostitution for example. My goal is to start a hemp day at DL...lol.
Originally Posted By trekkeruss <<you are misreading it or misquoting>> <<The article is not well written>> It's definitely more the latter; I'm not misreading or misquoting, but the article is poorly worded. Anyway, it's all immaterial with respect to Gay Days at DL. I think you know that.
