Many people in this thread have echoed similar sentiments, and I am encouraged by that. We probably have some common ground there, despite out disagreements.
Seriously, this has me puzzled. What did you expect? Everyone at a conservative site to say all gay people should have their heads on pikes? We're not liberals talking about "Reichthuglicans", as those idiots like to say. "Most" people don't have a problem with gay people. They have a problem with what the agenda-driven gay groups show us to be the gay lifestyle and how it's supposed to be normal. You want to show it as somehow normal, show a show on my buddy Ken and Joe. Scratch that, after 20 years they fight more than any couple I've ever seen.
I have another question, why do you guys support liberal groups who support Muslims and not Jews? Israel doesn't hang gay people for being gay. Homosexuality is not compatible with the Islamic faith. It's not with the Christian faith either, but we aren't beheading gay people. Islam was born of the sword. Christianity was not. You don't see the problem there?
As for me, I know 3 gay people. One is a retired USAF MSG and now a teacher, one of the 300 Master Certified teachers in GA, and the couple, one was in the AF and the other was a Navy Corpsman who is a Desert Storm veteran. All three are conservative. "My" opinion is that we shouldn't ostracize gay people because many of the ones that DO vote Democrat ONLY do it for one issue. Gay rights. Well, I'm a FairTax supporter. That would get rid of a lot of it. As for visitation rights to hospitals, you're right. It's f'ed up. Should something happen to Joe, damn right Ken, his partner of 20 years, should be able to visit him.
