Gay is a normal person? Then why is the average life expectancy of gay man in the US 46-years old? Why do all suffer with chronic medical conditions? Why do all require huge amounts of medication? Why is gay suicide rate so high? Why is gay promiscuity rate so high it is off the charts? To describe the gay lifestyle in US, can not be described on this forum, but is in no way normal. Do not use California as an example of the world. Most Americans do not wish to acknowledge they even exist; hoping there is a big earthquake soon so we have have beach front property in Nevada, where Steve lives. Steve may even buy a boat! Recently, our top black gospel musician, Donny McClurken was invited to sing and play at the National Martin Luther King Celebration in Washington DC. When if was discovered that he had once been gay and left the gay lifestyle, he was dismissed and not permitted to attend. Why? Because no one wanted to admit that gays can be any different. Don't tell me about tolorance! Thousands of gays in America leave the gay lifestyle every year. So why must this be kept a secret? Do not always feel persecuted and defensive, Tommaso. There's possiblities of change for you, too! Just pray!!!  ))
