What Are Gay People So Proud About?

It takes one male and  one female to make a baby. Can we all agree to that? It's not my opinion, it's a fact and has been a fact since the beginning of time. You know, Adam and Eve and all that.

Yet some people -- a recent Gallup poll concluded that 7.1% of adult Americans identify as LGBT -- feel differently about this. Fine, that's their business. So why does it have to be my business? Or yours, or everyone's? Go ahead and be gay, or bisexual, or abstain from sex altogether-- do whatever you want. But please, just shut up about it. 

Why be so proud about being "different"? Do we really need to celebrate the fact that some men like having sex with other men and some women like having sex with other women and some people hate sex altogether with parades across the country? Why is that a good thing? And who the hell cares?

What I care about is puppy mills and starving children and cancer and war and poverty, not who puts their penis into what receptacle. Come on world, grow up.
