Feel free to explain it, privately if you'd like.  I thought being gay
meant you were sexually attracted to people of the same sex.  I don't
think this can be easily detected.  It'd probably be easier to detect
potheads than homosexuals.

"LGBT people should not be viewed as a special interest group, but as
people. Just like us, homogenous, no different."

You haven't explained it well.  If you want to give up now, just when
we were starting to get somewhere (you apparently have discovered my
problem, that I don't know what it means to be gay), go ahead.

Like everyone else here (or perhaps moreso), I don't speak on behalf
of the foundation.
