...lesbian. I wholeheartedly believe that this atmosphere of acceptance is, for the most part, a good thing. However, what the activists and the media don't realize is that most Americans probably don't even care. They do not need nor wish to have issues of sexuality constantly thrust in their faces.

And since the plane has two engines, it's highly unlikely they both would have cut out simultaneously. In other words, one engine could have provided the thrust to force the plane in a circular direction."
