Actually, if it hasn't changed since 1980 (when it was a test question), that should read 27 states ... but not my area of interest nor relevant to this discussion.
Now, not degraded for refusing to accept?
You know, it's lots of fun to be walking down the street with your wife while the folks in the fruit stand (gay bar, no stools) while they throw drinks etc. at you and scream "BREEDERS!"
That is so tolerant of the preferences of others - NOT! They won't accept anything less than reverence. Equality was never their goal, as with people like Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton. Their goals aren't equality, but subjection.
Since you folks think "tolerance" is so important, why not exercise a bit yourselves and let those of us who don't want it on display alone. Stick to your own kind, and act normal (not like perverted degenerates) and accept respect as being enough. Equal should be enough for everyone.
JUST EQUAL.
