Since I'm older , back when I was born , my parents didn't know what sex I was until the doc delivered me.  Within minutes of being born my birth certificate said I was a boy.  It wasn't left blank to decide later in life what I wanted to be.  You accepted you were a boy or girl and lived life that way.   Maybe you can help me with this question :  Gays and liberals always scream about wanting tolerance---so why don't they practice what they preach ?  Why do you people always accuse a person of being hateful when they simply disagree with you ?  It's not hate to refuse to accept immoral behavior .  I didn't go down and protest the gay events .  I only mentioned it when it was thrown in  my face in the newspaper .   As for Russia , they do treat gays badly , and that is wrong of them.  When I hear someone like you accuse me of hate just because I disagree with the gay lifestyle , it makes me wonder----am I wrong and the Russians right on this issue ?
