Just deal with the fact that some people will never approve of what you/they do, it doesnt matter why we believe it, we just do.

Face facts, some people consider that lifestyle and the lifesytles listed in your post to be disgusting, its called freedom of thought and people can think whatever they want - its actions, not words or thoughts that people are condemed or should be condemed for. And while certain segments of right-wing North America may hate that, most try to ignore it an go about life and just plain get through becuase quite frankly, like alot of the different crap out there, its really tireing to hear it over and over and over and over again.
You're free to hate whoever you like--or if you prefer the term, to "find disgusting" whoever you like. I consider that semantics, but I nevertheless agree that you are entitled to have an opinion on whatever you want--that's part of living in a free society.

However, it sort of follows that they are free to do as they like regardless of your disapproval--have sex, get married, adopt children, etc.--that is, if you agree that we live in a free society.

How is demanding equal rights an offense to your religion or your family? I fail to see how one affects the other. Also, why should government be involved in what you admit is a viewpoint informed by religion. Separation of Church and State indicates to me that the state ought to make decisions based on questions not related to religion--that they should exercise a civic mandate while churches concern themselves with a religious one.

Back on topic: what Ann Coulter does is not simply to hate one group or another. She SPREADS hatred of that group. The word she used is offensive and inflammatory and she knows it. She's a bad, bad person.
