wwcitizenWould you travel to a country whose leaders actively persecute gays and lesbians?
Would you travel to a state where religious leaders want to round up gays and lesbians into concentration camps and leave them to die? Would you travel to a place whose leaders advocate "punching the gay" out of innocent children? Would you want any of these people making medical decisions for you?
What if you were rushed to the emergency room and your attending doctor's church advodates the killing of gays and lesbians? How hard do you think he would fight to save your life? What of that of your partner's life?
Could you expect these radicals to adbide by man's laws when they feel they're answering to a "higher law?"
If you're straight, would you want your gay children, family members, or friends to go to those places? Wouldn't you be afraid for them?
At first blush, what's your knee-jerk reaction?
