RE: Male Circumcision - Are You For Or Against It?

Again, I simply state that only gay men or straight men with penis issues care whether a baby boy is cut or not. Correct me if I'm wrong. I feel really sorry that gay men have made this an issue. It demeans gay men as people who only care about penises and sex. You're really playing into a stereotype.
