- No, I believe the voters were hoodwinked by the TFVC. It is on their
- agenda to make sure that no laws exist to protect gays, lesbians, bisexuals,
- and if at all possible to make laws forbidding the discussion of, of portrayal
- of, and to even make the law state that it is all immoral.

- Well- this is just as ridiculous as the "pedophilia" example.
-
- Gays, lesbians, and bisexuals are involved with other adults, and therefore
- are involved in consentual agreements.
-
- At this time, and I doubt that it will change in the future, pedophilia does
- not involve the consentual arrangement of adults, i.e. this persons that are
- able to make decisions for themselves.
-
- And as far as necrophilia goes- well I do not believe that will ever be
- a sexual orientation either- even though a few people might want it. It
- also does not involve the mutual consent of each individual.
-
-
- I will concede that for myself I do not particularly like the 'sexual
- orientation' usage. Simply because people seem to go off on tangents
- and start making statements that pedophiles and rapist are just a
- sexual orientation. I suppose it needs to be made very specific.
