And if didn't wish for society to become as accepting of black interactions and attitudes? What would that make me?

Well, everything the Nazis did was not "evil" was it? Much of their human experimentation was applied to medical research during and after the war.
Woah. This is a scary ends justify the means statement. Just because we may have learned something from a heinous act doesn't mean the act wasn't evil.

Now, I don't even hate homosexuals, I just don't wish the acceptance of their behavior patterns to become considered NORMAL.
Then you should go on not considering it normal and hope for the "best."

I do not wish their lifestyle to influence the behavior patterns and lead to undue experimentation among impressionable children and teenagers. I don't wish for society to become as accepting of homosexual interactions and attitudes, as the Germans obviously became of Nazi attrocities toward the Jews and others who rejected Nazi philosophy.
Ok, except that I'm not killing anyone by going home to my partner at night. Societal norms change all the time -- it doesn't make sense to compare every such ebb and flow to the murderous Nazi regime. Women used to be considered property and weren't allowed to vote, but over time that changed. Should we liken Gloria Steinem to Hitler?

Goodness forbid a group of happy gay families bring their children to a national event in a country where they pay taxes in? This is any different them me sponsering a group of black or latinos together to attend the event to show that we aren't all " underclass".

Why does everyone feel the need to liken whatever they wish to discredit to hitler or the nazis? I heard something about people who were likening pedophile to adolf hitler?

Because it's shocking. It's a way to evoke emotive dialgoue between the two sides of the debate.

Dialogue? No -- it's a way to close off dialogue by saying that your opponents are inhuman in one way or another. :(

You like the idea of political militants exploiting a fun family tradition for children?


Actually, the purpose of the event is not to be a fun tradition for children. The purpose is political; it's an opportunity for Bush to pander for public opinion. That it what the event is about. For the White House to be upset about plans to attend the event by gay couples only displays the hypocrisy behind the event.
