    It's not like gays are forced to be buried in the gay area. I don't see the problem. So some people would prefer to be buried with similar persons, big deal.

    Is there something keeping gay people from being buried together in the 'straights' section?

    It sounds to me like a perfect way for grave-vandals to more easily find graves to desecrate.

    I was thinking the exact same thing. Segregation is just asking for trouble in my opinion.

    Just...no. I'm sorry quick question, anyone who would want to be buried with similar persons...I'm sorry what do you have against the other people in the graves? You don't even know if they were bigots or not! I'm sorry but sponsored by a gay man or not, this is just plain stupid.

    I don't have anything against someone in the other grave. But I don't understand why this would be a bad idea for someone who does.

    And how did you even come to that question? Did it seem like I didn't like straight graves? Did I, in my post, say that gays should be buried in a separate section? And does the term "similar" offend you?
