From: arndt@smurf.DEC:
All I'm asking is how do you justify to yourselves and others your behavior.
-----

Why do gay people have to justify their behavior?  My moral code says,
(to a first approximation), that what you do is okay by default, and
only if it effects me, or society in general in an adverse manner, do I
have the right to demand justification.  

Since I see no way in which gay liberation is having a negative effect
on society (given no a priori bias against gay lifestyles), I cannot see
why its anyones business to demand a justification.

BTW:  AIDS is not a negative effect of gay liberation, it is a negative
effect of promiscuity, as is any venereal disease (I'm sure syphilis
and ghonnorea (sp?) have killed
many more thru the ages).
