Wisconsin's leading anti-gay crusader admits same-sex attraction
In a recent interview with The Cap Times, the director of Wisconsins leading anti-gay organization acknowledged feeling same-sex attraction, calling it universal.
Theres not a person alive who hasnt said, Well, I wonder (about my sexual orientation), said Julaine Appling, head of Wisconsin Family Action, in response to reporter Jack Cravers question, Have you ever felt
same-sex attraction.
Its a natural part of the maturation process, Appling went on to say.
But Appling also insisted that people can leave gay lifestyles.
<snip>
But Appling, 60, has never married and, in fact, lives with Diane Westphall, another never-married woman, in a home the couple owns jointly in Watertown. Theyve lived together for decades.

Afraid of what they might be.
Those so afraid of themselves that they become the worst haters, the worst deniers.
It's not just LGBT.
It's also climate change deniers who must trust some god rather than their own efforts, to insure the planet will be here for their children.
It's the food stamp Scrooges who feel that they could not somehow survive without their high paying jobs.
It is those who deny education because they fear growing old (Obsolete) more than they fear even death.
For some, to hate what you fear is part of their nature.
For some, so many things to be afraid of, so many things to hate.
Wish it were not that way.
Just a moose trying to age with grace.

Seems to me anyone who advocates that gays "choose" to be gay might just be struggling with that "choice" personally.

I guess there's something wrong with me? Or maybe this guy is just totally in denial about the closet he's locked himself into.
