I *am* a member of (and lord help me, even a leader of sorts) in the
"LGBT Community", and I have to agree with Fred. Relationships are
the most personal of things, and forcing someone to take part in them,
when they expressly don't want to, is worse than counter productive.

Who brought this lawsuit, and what where they smoking when they did
it?
