Now, if this "stop advertising your sexuality" thing is going to be equally applied, let's see...
Well, first off, all you gay guys have to stop having gay pride parades, and, likewise, the rest of us can't have straight pride parades. These things are political, so by that I mean we can't march to "preserve marriage" or ban adoptions by same sex couples, because then people would guess.
And if you're going to go ahead with your same-sex marriage plans anyway, you can't send out invitations. Neither can straight people. Marriages are to be done in the court with a blind Justice supervising. (This is great - big weddings are just gift grabs anyway.)
Nobody can go around talking about their boyfriend or girlfriend, or about their troubles finding said boyfriend or girlfriend. And nobody can hold hands in public, put up pictures of loved ones, or engage in PDAs. No more awkward talk or squicky situations that hold up traffic! I'm for this!
Likewise, only one parent at a time can go to parent-teacher nights at school or likewise, because if teachers saw two parents they'd guess.
In order to get around the hospital issue, nobody can visit a sick person in the hospital unless they're a parole officer. This prevents the spread of germs. Doctors make all medical decisions unless you have a living will or something.
All dating is now banned. No more romantic comedies or nightclubs or anything like that. Also, students don't get to go to prom or anything (hey, they tried this!) because of this.
Equal and fair, that's all this is.
Except I don't think this is really the world one Steve King wants to live in. I think he wants to live in a world where you can be an ass while proclaiming your sexuality to the world (well, actually, playing the odds there's a decent chance he's hiding a big secret, but let's not go there) and nobody will call you on your hypocrisy.
And that's just not right. God, I loathe hypocrites.
