A very close friend of my family is a very well respected Doctor who is the head of Pediatrics at a large Hospital in the US.
When my grandfather was ill he helped to save his life...twice.
My father went into a Hepatitis coma a few years later. The doctors here almost killed him by leaving his IV drips on full for a long period of time. Once again our doctor friend came to the rescue and told my step mother what she needed to do after she paniced and called him.
The man has helped and litterally saved thousands of children from abusive homes and has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to help stamp out child abuse. He is the author of a number of books on the subject.
He is also gay.
You homo-phobes out there should stop and think about that for a few minutes.
so.. What, being gay makes him be a good DR and a caring person? it's imposable to do a good job and be a caring person without sleeping with other men? exactly what is your point?
as others have mentioned it's not a problem with gays, it's a problem with their behavior (in this one area) homosexual activity is deviant and IMO imoral. just because someone participates in an imoral activity doesn't make every aspect of their life worthless.
just as many of the adulterers I work with are otherwise good people. many are good workers, excellent craftsmen, freely giving of their time and effort if they see someone in trouble or need. all around great guys, but it doesn't make adultery a moraly upstanding activity that should be recognised and legitimised by society. Clinton did an exceptional job as president, but that doesn't make his adultery ok. if it where legal I'd have voted him in for another term. as his adultery was a personal moral issue between him her and his wife, it wouldn't effect my vote. but if he wanted to change the laws to have our gov't sanction adulterous behavior I'd fight that.
I don't advocate some sort of consentration camp or other way to 'contol' people or other discrimitor act against gays. thsi isn't about their basic rights being denied in areas unrelated to their deviance. this is just our refusing to except as ok one part of their lives on this earth, the part that is imoral and wrong.
as Rude put it quite well--
I love them as God loves me....it's their lifestyle and the sin which I'm against.
