i am a server at a restaurant in dupont circle of washington dc and a large percentage of my customers are homosexual. i am always happy to see that my new table is gay because they are generally very kind and they tip very well. i also work with many gay people and one of my best friends happens to be gay and he is the nicest person you will ever want to meet. consider these points:

1. from what i understand, they are born into this situation. the vast majority didn't make a conscious decision to be gay and i am sure many would rather be straight to save all the pain and alienation they are bound to feel in our rigid society. they must come to grips with being who they were naturally born to be or being who society or christianity or whoever says they should be. this is a very hard life and most gay people are very kind hearted because they know all to well what it feels like to be discriminated against, ostracized and to own a feeling of low self-esteem and low self-worth. but the main point is how can you say someone is wrong when they didn't make a conscious decision and they were just born this way?

2. regardless of their sexual orientation look at all the fantastic contributions the gay society has made to our world. tim gunn (co-host of project runway and tim gunn's guide to style) is an amazing fashion designer and a wise, thoughtful, insightful and kind human being. god forbid we live in a world without my favorite artist salvador dali. there is also a theory that shakespeare was possibly gay. to be an effeminate male is actually a very powerful combination as well as being a masculine female. you have the extroverted characteristics of the male and the more introverted attention to detail and organization of the female combined into one super human being.

3. the most important point is that ra says that we are all one with the illusion of separation so to have negative feelings toward another person is the same as having negative feelings toward oneself. the way to change this world is to give unconditional love to everyone.

thanks for allowing me to share a bit of myself with you. this is a great website and all of you are great as well!!
