In 1972 (the year before the APA unilaterally decided homosexuality was "no longer an illness") the Gay Rights Platform was drawn up at the convention of the National Coalition of Gay Organizers. It was officially set forth at the Gay Pride March on Washington, D.C. on April 25, 1993 and has been reinforced every year since. By the way, a couple more of the demands: 1) Demand that contraceptives and abortion services be made available to all persons, regardless of age (what the hell does that matter to homosexuals???); 2) Full inclusion of lesbians, homosexual men, bisexuals and transgenders in education of children and child care; 3) Legalization of all forms of sexual expression, including pedophilia, changing age of consent laws to allow sex with children; 4) demand that Federal Defense budget funds be diverted to cover AIDS patients' medical expenses... The 1998 Federal Budget included $4.746 *BILLION* for AIDS funding. That was a $465 million increase over the 1997 Budget, which is more funding than all forms of cancer combined. Current Federal Money (your tax dollars and mine) spent per death: AIDS/HIV: $39,172.00 Diabetes: $ 5,449.00 Cancer: $ 3,776.00 Heart Disease: $ 1,056.00 Stroke: $ 765.00 What's wrong with this picture? You don't get cancer by engaging in promiscuous sex. Funding should not be based on sexual behaviors. Jay Holovacs wrote:
Jodi's fantasy world again.
Ok Jodi..document your claims
which 'march on Washington"
Please specifiy who made these 'demands' and the actual quotes involved (not your imaginative paraphrases)
Of course, if your past behavior on this list is any indicator, statements were wildly interpreted to suit your strawman perceptions, and I suspect actual quotes will not be forthcoming.
