- Then what's all the fuss about people admitting that they are homosexuals?

- So as long as they keep their ACTs between themselves and God, why should
- we show more concern for homosexual acts than we do for heterosexual
- acts performed out of wedlock. The uproar about admitting homosexuals
- into the military seems discriminatory since the same uproar isn't
- seen for admitting unchaste heterosexuals.
