The recent slew of suicides caused by people/kids being bullied for being gay, or perceived as gay, is heartbreaking.
In many ways, it is the ultimate irony that something that involves love inspires so much hate: people of the same sex cannot marry, cannot adopt, cannot live as a human should. While i am sure that it is not a crime to videotape someone having a sexual encounter and then broadcasting it so it leads to the person committing suicide, i am pretty sure you live the rest of your life with the knowledge that you are a pathetic, empty person who deserves nothing good.
i am a volunteer for the Marriage Equality organization in my state. On Columbus Day, we went out in our neighborhoods asking people to sign postcards that will be sent to their legislators in support of same sex marriage. In all, most people i spoke with were greatly supportive, or at least civilized. It got off to a bad start, however, when the second house i visited the person told me that he is a Christian and doesn't support it. As we walked down his driveway, he then went on to say "it's an an abomination."
As we walked away, The Sea asked what an abomination is; i wish i had said, loudly, it means Christians who haven't listened close enough to Christ.

i think it should be a crime to tape a sexual encounter (if you're not part of it) and broadcast it, without explicit permission of those involved. i mean, what the hell?
that said, i think it's great you're volunteering for marriage equality and teaching your kids about what love is really about.
(PS - yay for opening up comments)
Well, if it's the only way i am going to hear your POV, then i'll leave them open all the time! Or, you could do a blog....
