I don't know about everyone else, but I find the term "breeding public" in
exceptionally bad taste.  Actually, until last summer, I used the term here
and there. Then one day, a friend got very upset when the term came up.

And you know what? She was right. Until gays learn to stop assaulting
straight people on such grounds as those, straights will continue to
be antagonistic. After all, they are not responsible for the fact that
gays cannot have children per se, just as gays are not responsible for
everything else that is wrong with the world.

I guess my message is just to think before you make what I would consider
to be rash comments. "Fighting" for gay rights does not include sinking to
the level of some straights in the gutter.
