let me just state that i find the very idea and phrase "homesexual agenda" both offensive and ludicrous.
I'm a friggin human being just like you.
I go to work... I pay taxes... I fall in love... I get my heart broken... I feel happiness and sadness JUST LIKE YOU
I am a human being. My only "agenda" is to live my life with as much happiness and joy as I can and with as little unhappiness and pain as possible without hurting anyone else in the process.
I am treated as a second class citizen in the united states.
I am not protected by the law in the same way you are.
I am not given the same freedoms as you are.
I am not allowed to enjoy my life as much as you are.
When I ask to be given the same opportunities as others I am told I am asking for "special rights" or I have some sort of "agenda"
So you think about all that when you go get married and you aren't denied a marriage liscence.
You think about all that the next time you kiss whoever you're in a relationship with in public and don't have to worry that someone might try to hurt because of it
You think about that and imagine living in a world where every book, every magazine, every tv show, every movie was telling you that you should be homosexual. You know you're not. You know you can't "make" yourself be homosexual.
So after thinking about all that I'd like to believe that ANY decent human being with any kind of compassion for their fellow humans in this world wouldn't begrudge us "different" folk some inclusion into the mainstream. it's taken us DECADES... hell CENTURIES even... to get to this point. I won't even see full equality in my lifetime so you'll forgive me if I think your problems with the love interests being bi is very petty and selfish and talking about anyone having an agenda, if Mr. Gaider has an agenda at all it's make sure as many people as possible are included in the enjoyment of Dragon Age 2. If you want to talk agenda you go talk to the religious right... the people who claim to be all holy and good who spend millions of dollars and hours of manpower working hard to make sure I go as many days as possible feeling less than human, being treated less than other citizens of the united states. THAT'S an agenda.
Some of this I agree with, but most of it is pure nonsense. Gays are not second class citizens in the U.S. Depending on the state, gays actually have legal protections afforded to them due to their minority status that the rest of us average mortals don't have. Marriage is also not a right, and never has been since day one. It's always been based on certain requirements, one of which was one man and one woman; at least in civilized nations.
Only recently in history has marriage been about the love between two people, rather than fostering procreation, uniting families/tribes/nations and creating and continuing blood lines.
Due to the change in times however, I'm certain that gays will eventually be allowed to marry each other across the continental U.S, so they can be "miserable in love" like the rest of us.
