live and let live....

ok, so the discussion at dinner last night took an interesting bend.....our daughter asked if it was true that john kerry's daughter was a lesbian.....to which we replied in unison that it wasn't kerry's daughter, it was dick cheney's daughter.......but i went on to explain that we cannot make judgements about who people love and care about....... and that my decision not to vote for bush/cheney had nothing to do with cheney's daughter........what i did not go on to discuss was a laundry list of people we know.......either in or out of the closet.......there is a time and place for that.......but not now.......how come 'live and let live' is a liberal rather than a universal sentiment.........
