Yes I have. And what you say sounds all very well in theory but the practical side of it is that many companies, and institutions will not recognize such instruments without a fight. And in some cases, such as emergency medical procedures it is just too dang late. And many of these people do not want to make a fracas so they just live with it. The don't make any waves because gays have in the past disappeared or have been fired for unknown causes or kicked out of their buildings and on and on. Your argument is no different than complaining that there are too many Jim Crow laws so therefore it should not be done. Sorry, that is a bullshit argument. That is not an ad hominem. It is a fact. You see if I only responded with observations about your character then you would be right, that is not an argument, valid or otherwise. But what I have done is responded with arguments that also illuminate what kind of character a person would have to have in order to make such an argument. That is not ad hominem. That is just an observation. If you don’t like it then stop making such awful arguments. You see you can reason and argue like a bigot in the nicest way and you are still a bigot. Being nice doesn’t make you right and being frank doesn’t make me wrong.
