I want heterolsexual rights i want straight rights, i want the right not to see two men kissing or squezing each others butt cheeks. I want the word gay to be taken back to mean happy, not to mean men having anal sex loving each other or woman loving each other.

I would suggest you move to one of those countries that are more sexually oppressed. I do not expect all others to like the same things (heterosexuality, etc.) as I do, and public displays of affection are fine with me, and something I enjoy the right to engage in. Diversity and tolerance are things I value, and I can always look the other way |

I think gay people have the right to be free from being discriminated against. However, I don't believe they should be granted specific rights because they are gay. And I don't believe they should be able to flaunt their lifestyle in my workplace.

Do you think it is all right for me to flaunt my heterosexual lifestyle in your workplace? How about if my lifestyle is celibacy, or??? What lifestyles need we hide from you in your workplace? |

So Joe, no tea rooom discussions at all then, because this tends to involve lifestes. No discussionds with Peter down the hall at your workplace about what you and your wife did last night, what movie yousaw, as this is lifestyle. No pictures of your children up in your office, because this is lifestyle...?

I was speaking toward homosexual lifestyle. And for the record, I have NEVER had a tea room discussion. (sarcasm) I assume you mean what we call break room or lunch room or coffee room. And I have objections of gay people using the rainbow as their symbol or flag. |

Ypour answer to whter it is only the gay lifestyle that you on't want in the workplace was that you not want 'your' lifestyle in the workplace,, thus meaning lifestyles should stay out of theworkplacem, now you revert to discrimination again, saying only the gay lifestyle should not be allowed in the workplace?
How do gay people bring their lifestyles intothe workplace anyway/ Can you expalin hat?
And why can't they use the rainbiw? What should they use?

I will concede that my answer was incomplete. Hopefully, my position is now clear regarding homosexual lifestyles in the workplace.
Making sexual gestures: One example would be a gay coworker was dancing and shaking his ass like one might see on on the dance floor in the club.
As for the rainbow, it is a symbol of God's promise to Noah that life on earth would never again be destroyed. |

It sort of seems that you want gay people to hide all evidence that they are gay. Does that also mean that I should hide all evidence that I am heterosexual? Do you hide the fact that you are heterosexual?
Making sexual gestures: One example would be a gay coworker was dancing and shaking his ass like one might see on on the dance floor in the club. Do you want to ban all dance moves, or just those that are done by gays?

I did not know about the rainbow being about God's promise to Noah. I have, of course heard of "the rainbow coalition" being batted around by civil rights activists advocating for racial equality and non discrimination, and in order to be consistent, sex and sexual orientation discrimination should fall under the same banner
