...in charge of an estimated 65,000 gay and lesbian troops
What is that stat based on? I'm pretty sure I work with a gay troop, but I can't ask him of course. Still, I think that estimate is pretty liberal.
This is like asking why black people hate white people or visa versa. It's simply not true that all, or even a majority of straights hate gays. I can disagree with your actions without hating you. I can believe in the sanctity of marraige without hating those who wish to violate it. And just as the thousands of teens who march to San Francisco, I can pray for you because I love you, not because I hate you. Sounds like an old bitter individual who lived through hard times and can't find the answers they're looking for, so they turned to what made them feel like a crusader instead of just dealing with lifes problems.
