text: imagine, if the gay community was as militant and zealous about defining, demanding and defending they're rights as Americans as these good end times Christians prophesizing Armageddon. 
  there would be rivers of blood. 
  
  the thought of losing the ability to deny the rights of a group of people,
  the thought that gays could push legislation to deny you freedoms long taken for granted as divine and not given by man...
  gives you an aneurysm.  
  ...just the thought.  
   the irony.
  
  "patriotism" is relative.
