And Ken  - its okay to hate and loath gay people and try to change them and 
let then  know what waste they are - just like its okay for people to hate and 
loath  disabled people - and try to change them and let then know what waste 
they  are. So next time you feel the need to correct someone misconceptions on 
the  disabled - shut up - because you are looking at yourself, and people like 
you  never want to hear the other side because you and you alone are right. 
That's  why they burned Witches, hung Black people, had the Crusades - I gather 
we  haven't learned from history yet.......



I have known several disabled people who chose to be gay because  they felt 
they had no other choice because parents kept them away from opposite  sex for 
years and only let them be around others of the same sex out of  protection.  
You see, the right to be loved goes in all directions.   If a person is denied 
love and attention in one direction, another comes  around.  No one should 
have the right to force a person to think or feel a  certain way.   Who are we 
to make that judgement?  I have known of parents of disabled children have then 
get  every type of operation to make them as normal as possible.  I've seen 
how  much discrimination when Susan was born and how Susan's mother was 
bad-mouthed  as being a slut being with many men when she was only with one.  It  was 
trying to use every trick in the book to make a disabled person as  being 
perverted and not capable of being around a baby.  We as  disabled people are 
here for a reason.  We should be helping each other and  not at each others 
throats.  Far too much damage has been done.  Time  for us to pick up the pieces 
and try to build a better life as much as  possible.
 
Those who fail to learn from history are destined to repeat  it.
 
 
Walk away  before I finish what you started. Face to face I will put you in 
your place. End  this game before I finish what you started. Face to face 
everything will  change.
