There you did.

& btw when you say neutrality, do you actually mean the official line?

still don't see any equivalence being drawn. And, no, I mean neutrality. It's one thing to express editorial opposition to positions or policies, but you seem, to me to cross a line when you start chucking idiot terms like 'gaystapo' around, and demand a fight.

most companies(every one that I worked for) have a clause in their employment contract mentioning bringing negative publicity to the corporation. People, for some odd reason, have not figured out that such applies to blogs, FaceBook, Twitter, etc. It does.

Negative publicity how? I know have a gay coworker who is fed with of the gay activists & the gay mafia here promoting "gay rights" and what not.

Fact is that most normal gay people understand that those "gay" rights are actually used to promote societal change for most of the population, because the elite doesn't really like them having values & shit.

Fact is one of the greatest french military leaders of all time was gay & everyone knew it. Never stopped him from anything. So now the gay mafia is crying because the gay's rights are being trampled? Boohoo cry me a river.

Trampled how? By whom?

one has to consider the effect of going over the top and declaring war on gay groups. Tends to bring adverse publicity.

can't comment on the French status quo. Over here, most everything is coming to even status. The marriage benefits from the government being extended to gay people pretty much takes away most issues. Every so often, you get some loon or set of loons that wish to ban gay people from their business, but those folks will just get marginalized in the long run. It's just that evening up process sets some on the loony fringe of our political spectrum into a tizzy. Over nothing, really, but a tizzy nonetheless. These same people, for instance, would object to your use of the phrase, 'normal gay people'.
