28. I applaud your attitude of not caring - and I share it -
I wish to hell everyone else in teh world would realize that, "Hey, who gives a shit? It's doesn't matter."

But, the problem is, that for a lot of people it DOES matter, and so they hate the gay people, and wage war against them.

So, until that war is stopped, then we HAVE to care.

And that's why discussing it, sometimes ad nauseum, is ESSENTIAL.

Just like color - I don't care what color someone is, but our society still does care, and so it's important that we continue to talk about race and color issues, until we ALL get to the point of saying, "Who gives a shit?"

But until the battle is won, to loudly proclaim "Who gives a shit?" is the moral equivalent of standing by while Rwanda commits genocide ("Hey - I like Rwandans and the Tutus, so who gives a shit?") or doesn't stop a rape ("Hey - I like men and women both equally, who gives a shit?"), etc. etc. etc.
