No one alive in America today should feel any shame over it.
The idea that there are masses of children going to bed hungry every night is utter nonsense. The biggest health problem faced by American children today is obesity.
And if and when a homosexual ... or anyone else ... is beaten up ... the legal authorities arrest and prosecute the miscreants as best they can. No individual or group is denied legal protection in America today.

You sir, live in a fairie-tale world! Children do indeed go to bed hungry every single night and I've seen it with my own eyes...from the hills of West Virginia and Kentucky to the violent streets of every city in America! I've worked among them and I know...don't have to read about it, don't need Rush to deny it! Cops have a high rate of physical spouse abuse...how do you suppose that goes? Gays often don't report crimes cause they are more afraid of the cops than the perps...if Elton John gets mugged, you're correct...the police will fall all over themselves to arrest and convict...not because gays have equal protection but because money speaks...don't believe that? Ask OJ!! I respect the police, they have a tough job, and I'm not singling them out...merely stating facts! Cops are like the rest of society...they mirror their predispositions! We have a very long way to go until all life is respected and all people are treated fairly!!
