Let them marry, have kids and live happy lives.
I don't think his views are sad....they are his and that's all he is saying......I respect him immensely for stating them, sticking by them and airing them. He certainly doesn't need pity or people feeling sad.....in fact I wouldn't be surprised if he finds it insulting.
He has made some very interesting and valid points...whether I agree is irrelevant.
I'll give an example of what I see as insulting....in Manchester we have an area known as The Gay Village, on Canal Street....there's a standing joke amongst the gay community that the area should be known as Anal Treet, the road sign is often vandalised with white paint taking off the C & S.....by gay people. This I find insulting especially when I took my young kids to the market days held there.
All should be treated equally and with respect and this goes both ways....If you want equality then act in a way that earns equality...not in a way that seperates you from the rest.
