Are you kidding ? celebrating ones identity equates to a separate class ? Look at the ALL the pomp and circumstance when they Roll Out the Pope-Mobile. AJ, they fact you are gay, is not your identity. Believe it or not, I think you and I could be friends. I have other friends that I don't agree with a damn thing they say.....but they are friends. ;D ;D ;D And as far as the pope....I agree, there is no bigger spectacle (again no offense to anyone's religion) You can't imagine how many times when I was a kid, I heard "how many people could the Catholics feed with what they spend on gold fixtures"....it was a false idol.

Did anyone else realize that sex with animals is legal in 23 states ? sorry the whole gay debate is getting stale since arguments are being heard and the Religion angle has shot itself in the foot .
Laws are determined at the state level. Many U.S. states[54] explicitly outlaw sex with animals (sometimes under the term of "sodomy" or "unnatural crime against nature"). Others do not.
Many U.S. state laws against sodomy were repealed or struck down by the courts in Lawrence v. Texas, which ruled that perceived moral disapproval on its own was an insufficient justification for banning a private act.[55] On the other hand, the 2004 conviction of a man in Florida (State vs. Mitchell) demonstrated that even in states with no specific laws against zoophilia acts, animal cruelty statutes would instead be applied. Similarly, in 2011 a Shelby, Ohio zoophile who regularly had sex with his dogs was arrested and charged with animal cruelty, even though there are no laws specifically prohibiting bestiality in Ohio.[17] An incident similar to the Shelby incident occurred in Metairie, Louisiana in 2012.[56]
Zoosexual activity (bestiality) is officially illegal in 37 states. Zoosexual activity is a misdemeanor in the 20 states listed below:[57]
Alaska[58] Arkansas California
Colorado[9] Connecticut[59]** Florida[60]
Iowa Kansas[61][62] Louisiana[56][63]*
Maryland Maine Minnesota
Missouri Nebraska New York
North Dakota Oregon Pennsylvania
Utah Wisconsin
Zoosexual activity (bestiality) is a felony in the 17 states listed below:[57]
Arizona Delaware Georgia
Idaho Illinois Indiana
Massachusetts Michigan Mississippi
North Carolina[64]* Oklahoma Rhode Island
South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee[65]
Virginia Washington
Two states have or had broad statutes which also covered zoophilia that have been challenged successfully in state courts on constitutional grounds: Montana and North Carolina.[57] In North Carolina, the court ruled that the law was not unconstitutional on its face and could be applied constitutionally in some circumstances; the unconstitutionality of its application in that case was wholly unrelated to bestiality.[64][66][67] As of 2012 a repeal of the NC law is being considered in the North Carolina Senate.[68] The anti-zoosexual law in Montana has been unenforceable in Montana since 1997. Zoosexual acts are still illegal in Kansas due to a sodomy law.[61][62][69] In the District of Columbia, a law against zoophilia (listed under "sodomy") was repealed.[70]
Bestiality is a felony in Puerto Rico[71] and is illegal in the U.S. Virgin Islands.[72]
*Bestiality is prohibited in Louisiana and North Carolina because of crime against nature laws.[56][63][64][66][73][74][75] **In Connecticut, "sexual assault in the fourth degree" (which includes bestiality) is normally a misdemeanor.[59] However, if the subject is under sixteen years old, the penalty is a felony.[59] It is likely that the Connecticut age requirement (and associated felony penalty) only applies when human minors are involved, and not non-human animals.[59]
