I have Russ, and i still say please stop the comparisons, it's not nice being compared with a criminal. Can you not get your point across without comparing gay people to X, Y or Z?

No, because Criminals have done something wrong (gays haven't), and part of their punishment is withdrawal of some of their rights. How else do we punish people other then forcing them to do community service or lock them up?
