our government almost shut down, almost failed to ratify a nuclear arms reduction treaty, and the ongoing problem with immigration and justice remains unsolved \u2013 Gay Rights advocates score yet another victory.\u00a0 I have a feeling that, centuries from now, the epitaph of our civilization will be \u2018they gave it all for gay sex.\u2019\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s something about a society that, while so many things are unraveling, spends so much time helping a demographic group \u2013 that study after study suggests is <a

completely tolerated and allowed, for without the approval of homosexuality, how can we ever reach the Holy Grail of sexual fantasies: The socially sanctioned polyamorous encounter?<\/p>\n<p>The Gay Generation.\u00a0 Putting sexual desire and personal desire above anything and everything.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s a good thing <a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/s\/ap\/us_gays_in_military\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">our president and congress share these worthy values<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0They truly are a representative government.\u00a0 Though I have a feeling in years to come we\u2019ll wish they weren\u2019t. <\/p>\n<p><em>*It\u2019s worth noting that many gay rights activists challenge the oft repeated studies suggesting\u00a0that gays enjoy a proportionally higher standard of living.\u00a0 And yet, there have been just as many I\u2019ve heard in debates that use this to show gays can be highly productive and should not be turned away for any logical reason.\u00a0 So there you go.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meanwhile, though Christians my be persecuted around the world, while we might
