During my career in the U.S. Navy I had to give many classes on personal 
security. Since we all held extremely high level security clearances, the 
reality of blackmail was possible, due to "aberrant" behavior.
One of those behaviors was homosexuality. All the male sailors would feign 
retching and disgust when I began the section on homosexuality. I, however, 
brought them up short by asking, "How many of you guys have enjoyed 
watching movies where two women have sex?" 
The standard response was, "Oh, but that's different!" I asked, 
"How is that different? How many of you have fantasized being the guy in a 
threesome? How many of you just got hot and bothered and excited when I 
mentioned it?"
There was a lot of squirming, and even some red faces, when I explained that in 
such a scenario the guy was a participant in a "homosexual act." Oh! 
The uproar! "They" would NEVER participate in a "homosexual 
act!" 
Then I explained that even by just watching such a movie they were also tacitly 
participating in a homosexual act.
Then I asked, "How many of you think your wife or girlfriend should get 
turned on by watching such a movie with you?" Utter silence, guilty faces.
I also asked, "What if your wife/girlfriend brought home a movie 
where the woman was part of a threesome, and expected YOU to get turned on 
by watching?" To a man, the response was, "That's disgusting! She'd 
better not EVER bring filth like that into MY house!"
So, I asked, "What is the difference?" Sorting out their mumblings, I 
heard, "Two guys? Those guys have to be  f a g s!  I feel 
like puking just thinking about it!"
"So why do you get upset when your wife/girlfriend doesn't want to watch 
two women together," I asked. "But, that's different!" they all 
said.
I learned that one cannot teach a brick wall ANYTHING! Especially when it 
only thinks with the brain below the belt.
I am a woman, and most of the Sailors in my class were men. The women just sat 
there, nodded their heads, and threw disgusted looks at the men.
"Marriage" was invented by MEN - as a formalization of 
selling chattel, by one man to another. Religion got involved as a way to 
control the masses, and of course to make money. 
I believe, with all my heart, that two people who love each other - regardless 
of gender - should be allowed to formalize their relationship. Government and/or 
politics should have NO SAY in the definition of their relationship, and 
formalization thereof.
The Ban on Gay Marriage proposition was on the ballot here in Oklahoma. I voted 
against it. I have spoken to several people who thought they had voted FOR gay 
marriage, when they actually marked the AGAINST block. I told them that I hoped 
they would read the ballot more closely next time, and they said they certainly 
would.
I can't fathom why "christian" males feel SO threatened by 
homosexuality. If they really gave it some thought, they would figure out that 
there would be more women to go around! But, let's not mention that, OK? They go 
"through" enough women as it is.
I was talking with a woman whose son is in Iraq. She told me, "My son told 
me that homosexuality is totally accepted over there, and they only use women 
for procreation. That can't be right, can it?" I assured her that he is 
correct. I also reminded her that Iraq and that area is the "cradle of 
civilization" and that not much has changed in thousands of years.
Homosexuality has been a constant throughout time immemorial. The 
"church" only "banned" homosexuality when they realized 
there was no way to  profit from, or tax it. 
Fear of homosexuality is a modern "invention" or notion, and one 
which we could surely do without.Fair winds and following seas!
