Today's Beacon has an interesting story about why new Naperville Republican State Rep Joe Dunn voted 'yea' on the gay rights bill.
-- Can't say I disagree with him, I constantly fail to see why conservatives feel the need to make homosexuals the hobgoblin of society. You know there are all sorts of other 'sins' that we don't freak out nearly as much about. I strongly suspect as time goes on and the 'younger generation' (even guys as old as 35 like me) move up and make up more of the party this is going to be less of an issue.
Sorry I think of the homosexuals I know and the ones I don't know why it should be ok to discriminate against them because of who they love and how they chose to love them. Regardless if you think homosexuality is a choice or something hard wired into the brain (put me in the latter) discriminating against people on that basis is just wrong.

And you voted for a President that wants an amendement to constitutionally enshrine discrimination against gays because...

Studies of identical twins show that sexual choice is highly unlikely to be hard-wired into the human brain. It's soft-wired at best, but that doesn't diminish your argument since you seem to hold a strong "Mind Your Own Business" core which many Republicans share with Libertarians. The Equal Rights legislation is designed to address situations in which people don't mind their own business.
