Doubtful. Why turn down positive support?

Well, I thought that the word "gay pride parade," as opposed to "gay support parade," was indicative of the parade's constituents.

But then again, I've never seen a gay pride parade, so I don't really know anything about them.

Have you looked into text to speech programs as well as speech driven computers? I know some versions of Windows Vista let you use your computer entirely with your voice.


Thanx for the tip asbestosman, I have only thought of looking into it. I am due for computer upgrade soon and I will seriously check it out when I upgrade.

Thanx again
I think it would be morally right to lie about your religion to edit the article favorably.

Please let us know what you find out about the speech-to-text programs. That would help me too.

Then why are the brethren encouraging California saints to ban gay marriage? I don't feel the need to go gay bashing, but I do feel the need to support the brethren.

*Here* is a link to Windows Vista speech recognition. It applies to all edition of Vista apparently. I've used it before myself and I was fairly impressed with how much I could do purely from my voice. You'll probably want to do more research to see what issues other have encountered since I only tried it for a few hours for such things as internet surfing and writing a few short emails.

A great example where a decision is going to have to be made. Loyalty to personal feelings, or loyalty to your religious organization. Group vs individual. What decision to make? [Tick tock]

When did the Brethren tell us to go gay bashing?
