‘Invisible And Overlooked’

Homosexuality is a deviant lifestyle. We should not persecute them, but we absolutely cannot validate their lifestyle in our society. No nation can thrive under a homosexual majority, and therefore we must let our kids and others in society know that this lifestyle is tolerated, but way outside of the mainstream. This is for the good of America in the long term.

You've got to be kidding me....... Why doesn't somebody tell these people that they have choices. If your lonely, find a friend. If your sad, be happy. If your broke, get a job. Gay or straight, young or old, we all have choices, and we live tomorrow by the choices we make today. What we need is not more government programs to help these people to feel recognized, but somebody to tell them they have a choice. They will be stronger if you tell them the truth..... They're problems are real, I agree. The source of the problem is not in thier genes however, it's in thier choice.

You've got to be kidding me.........Didn't anybody ever tell these folks that they have the power to choose. If you're lonely, find a friend. If your sad, be happy. If your broke, get a job. The only reason a person, gay or straight, young or old will live alone is because they choose to. If they need a support group to help them with that, then they should organize one. Two things that make them feel like a victim are thier choices and the people who sympathize with thier sorrow. Tell them the truth I say. They'll be stronger for it. Somebody tell them they have a choice. Somebody tell them they can change thier situation if they want to. These problems are real I agree, but they're not in thier genes, they're in thier choices!

you've got to be kidding me. Why does being lonely have to have anything to do with sexual orientation. Why does losing your friends have anything to do with gay or straight. Will somebody just tell these folks that they have a choice. If your friend dies, get a new one. If your tired of being alone, go talk to somebody. What that person needs is to understand they have choices. They dont need recognition as a special group. They don't need government programs to help them feel like somebody cares. They need to know thier choices matter. They need to know that the decisions they make today determine how they live tomorrow. The sad thing is that somebody convinced them a long time ago that they didn't have a choice. They were lied to. Now they have trouble standing on thier own. These kind of problems are real, but they're not in thier genes, there in the choices.

""If you can imagine a situation where you're 80 years old, with no kids, a partner passed, no cousins or relatives and not one service that will provide you help with an emoticon of respect, that's what most LGBT seniors in this country face right now," says Michael Adams, SAGE's executive director."
Emoticon of respect? What is that. How about using the word modicum.

This article is very sad, I was raise to spread my wings. Grow up and make decisions to help me through my personal life. Save for retirement. I am at an age where there may not be Social Security. Both my parents are gone. My dad worked until he was 65 and died at the age of 71. We buried my mom 2 yrs to the day that my dad died. What happens to all the monies that both my parents put into Social Security in the 45 t0 55 yrs of their employment? We all need to take responiblity for all of our decisions whether they be good or bad ands not expect some one to bail us out. I have some gay and lesbian friend who took it upon themselve to make sure they were and are prepared for their retirement. The gentlemen that is alone I say I'm sorry, but those are the choices that he made. Thew the other gentlemen about his house, that is what a will is for, and as far as Social Security, What about me who still pays into Social Security but may never see a dime. SAY-LA-VEE'

Whatever happened to the married senator that stuck his dick under the toilet wall in the mens BR? Are we gonna have to support him since I think he resigned/fired no longer has a job and got fired? Bet his support system is now gone. LOL

Gay and Lesbian rights is not something new or even such a big deal that people are all in a tizzy over it. I don't understand why someone???s choice in partner matters to anyone but them. I will love who I want to love and be attracted to who I want to be attracted to regardless of what anyone thinks about it.

Believe what you want about what the "Bible" says. Honestly....I'd like some proof on the validity of that document. Don't get me wrong I think God is a pretty cool dude and if he can forgive a child molester and a murderer and heck a priest that like the alter boys a little to much....don't you think he has a place for the people that don't fall into what YOU think is normal? I sure do.

I think you are born the way you are...mentally, physically and sexually. I was born straight....I know some people that were born gay and obviously some of you were born stupid. You are closed minded because your parents were probably born stupid as well (or maybe gay and because of stupid people they were afraid to be themselves).

Is your life so perfect that you have time to rip on gay people? Are you so rich that you don???t have to worry about money? Is your job so wonderful that you don???t have to think about it? Is your relationship happy and loving? Are your kids passing all their classes and on their way to a bright future? Are your dishes clean? Did you feed your pets? Any laundry? Is your computer working right? If you said no or had to think twice about any of these questions then you really should not be worried about who is gay and what your precious bible says. I bet most of you complaining have never read it.

If you don???t care about these elderly people then move on to an article about something that matters to you. Don???t spread your hate. Get a life!

All I know???.if someone referred to your grandparent, parent or other relative or friend like you people are then you would be hurt and offended and heart broken.

All they want is a fair chance to know they wont die suffering or that the things they have worked their whole life for will go to the person that deserves it the most. If you didn???t know they were gay???.you would care!

They are old people for crying out loud! Have a heart.

There are more important issues going on in the world and in our country. If you don???t support gays???use your energy working for something you do support???.helping homeless, making sure our schools get better funding for our children, animal rights, politics???..use your energy for good???.not evil.
