I'm not offended in the least Stephanie, in fact I whole heartedly agree with what you are saying. The problem is people, ideologies and just plain stubbornness. How can you get men to change their thinking, when in some parts of the world, there are different beliefs and different factions in the same neighborhood who just want to blow the bejesus out of each other? It's not just the good old USof A we are talking about here, although that is bad enough. Also, suppose you did succeed in swaying public opinion? You are always going to have someone who is going to lead a counter-revolution because they refuse to accept it and never will and will fight to their dying breath to uphold that. That is the way people are, you are not going to change them.Like most have said, it's better to be a good example and demystify TG and CD issues one person at a time and show we are not a bunch of sick weirdos. That is how hearts and thinking are really won and is more long lasting. Like it or not, we are part of the human race for better or worse and that is the reality.
