<<An employer can make sexual advances on me and fire me when rebuffed EXACTLY like may happen to a stunning 22-year-old blonde bombshell, right?>>

I had a boss who made constant sexual advances on me including inviting me on a cruise to "discuss" advancement potentials.

<<Any landlord can refuse to rent to us because we are a white family, so what are black folks complaining about, right?

I was refused an apartment because I was single.

<<I can lose out on a job offer at any time simply because I clearly sexually prefer women, right?>>

I lost out on a job because they were looking for a female and another because they wanted someone older looking.  On top of that I was denied adoption rights and even foster care opportunities because I was a straight, single man.  The state agency didn't even pretend they were being fair.

<<You are clearly an intelligent man, so please do not pretend to be a fool and expect us to play along. Those things would never happen to me because I am a heterosexual Christian white male. But you knew that. Why pretend not to?>>

You are clearly an intelligent man, so please don't assume you know everything about me.  I want to get rid of all "special groups" and see a system that demands all people be treated equally.  That is the only way we all move forward.  Creating more special groups just divides us more and brings attention to our differences.

I am happy that same sex couples have more opportunities, but I am not surprised that this is just a first step.
