Could they make me any MORE of a marginalized citizen?

Bush's appointee for Surgeon General really pisses me off. They can't find someone who is conservative but not a completely anti-gay bigot? This guy goes so far as to state that openly gay people should not even be able to JOIN the congregation of a Methodist church. I'm living my life, not participating in some "lifestyle", whatever the hell that is. Mostly I just want to be left alone to live my life the way I see fit which is not unlike what most other people in this country want. Why is it so hard to just leave me be (oh and extend to me the same rights and priviledges that others take for granted?)
