- Yeah, it shouldn't be an issue. It only becomes an issue when people are
- fired from their jobs or denied employment over something that is "nobody's
- business", or when people can't walk safely in the streets because other
- people are determined to physically punish them for this aspect of their
- lives which is "nobody's business", or when they can't live where they
- choose or participate in community activities because people care too much
- about what is "nobody's business".

- Yup, breathing is a behavior too. I'll bet if you could teach those nasty
- old "homos" to stop breathing, they wouldn't have any more problems with
- this other "behavior" of theirs either. In fact, it seems some groups are
- already trying this approach.
