Something we "founders" would have never,<strong><em> ever </em></strong>done. Heck, we turned down requests from Anita Bryant and John Briggs -- and they look downright pro-gay by comparison.

This is similar to religion, which the state should neither promote, nor require (’establish’), though it is acquired through experiences in one’s interaction with the home environment, peer environment, school, media, and personal ‘experimentation.’" I think there is a stronger argument for tolerance and rights for GLBT in this argument than in the innate, biological argument that also uses the racial minority arguement. GLBT is an identity, wrapped in sensations and experiences and convictions about what works and what is best for them...much like religion. It may be that religious belief and practice has a genetic component...but we have not argued tolerance and rights based upon that. @ David G,
