"Even the 'ick' factor is a cover for something else. Despite the pretended revulsion for 'gay' sex acts, the fact is that homosexuals do nothing sexually that heterosexuals don't do. One only has to look at the amatuer porn posted by gays and straights alike on sites like xtube.
"The real motivation of those opposed to gay rights is simply meanness. They opponents are bullies. They like being able to look down on others. They enjoy the fact that they have 'special rights' that gay people don't. In other words, the opponents of gay rights are not nice people. One doesn't have to demonize them to realize that they lack the kind of moral compass one gains from being able to empathize with others not like oneself."
