Free Republic is the exclusive Conservative forum because of its unwavering stand for God, Life and Liberty. I don't come here to have the perversion of homosexuality advocated in any form (even by those claiming to be Conservative) and I'm glad that you performed this cleanup operation, Jim.
Who was that masked maniac?
I’d converse with you, but I can’t even get over your use of the word “gay.” Gay means to be happy, and is ingrained into our culture through tens of thousands of songs, stories, movies, plays, books, magazines, newspapers, and all other manner of western societal communication.
For a group of people who are obviously mentally deranged to glom onto a word like that is like calling a turd a rose.
I don’t hate homosexuals any more than I hate alcoholics. I hate the disease and the behavior, and I pity the person. But for them to do this to society.... to rape society and the nuclear family, and the natural family, and the Holy relationship between man and woman..... this is only forgivable by God himself... and I’m pretty sure He’s got other plans.
Ouch...tell it like it is my FRiend!
Read the Tenth Amendment.
Government should have nothing to do with marriage.
Read Federalist 84.
There’s no such thing as a right to marry; Hamilton warned us of this.
But as far as this issue goes, I believe that it should not be put in front of the children - - the homosexuals want it to be. They are disgusting in that regard.
I agree with you on one point...I think some people are born gay. It is not a choice for them.
Having said that, some people are born with schizophrenia. Mental health doctors recognize this condition as damaging to a normal, healthy life; and, they attempt to treat it. Until the 1980’s, they took the same approach with homosexuality (no kidding - it was classified as a mental disorder).
So, while I agree with the notion that some people born gay, I do not agree that it is a condition that is laudable...and quite frankly it is usually very damaging to an individual.
On to gay marriage. Matrimony is one of the Sacraments of the Catholic church. Frankly, I get a little offended when somebody who acts in a manner so contrary to the church makes a DEMAND that his lifestyle be ‘approved’ by others.
I have had this discussion several times with gay marriage supporters: Go ahead, call it a ‘Civil Union’. And, with the legal status of ‘civil union’, you will get all the rights you pretend to want - ability to make end of life decisions in the hospital, shared health insurance if offered by the employer...whatever. You can have EVERYTHING you want, with one exception - don’t call it marriage.
Its a no go. They won’t agree to it. The demand is that it must be ‘marriage’. They desperately want to force the majority to offer an approval of their lifestyle, and will accept nothing less than the moniker of ‘marriage’.
Suddenly, it has nothing to do with end of life decisions, etc...and everything to do with forcing the majority change the definition of a very well defined and understood word.
That’s the non-starter for me. They don’t want to be ‘married’ to have ‘rights’....they want it, to force others to accept them.
you don’t sound much like a conservative. the first thing a conservative does when he asks a question is to define his terms. then he/she proceeds to reason from facts and declared pre-suppositions to a conclusion founded on the God’s Laws of logic.
so the first thing you should do for yourself is define “gay marriage.” once you do that, maybe i can answer your question.
for example, i’ll give a simple defintion of what you call “traditional marriage” (God simply defines marriage for us as Christians, which we have to accept or deny God): it is simply the exclusive, voluntary relationship between a man and woman, Lawfully established by God for the purpose of raising a family and multiplying mankind (again a requirement of God).
so again. what is “gay marriage?” who defines it? what is is its history> what is its purpose?
No.
Because you're trying to generalize the hate, and in doing that, you're lying.
The hate is coming from the gays. Only.
The conservative Christians have obeyed the Constitution's protections of people's right to sexuality. They DO "tolerate" gays, and amazingly well, compared to ALL of the other religions and countries on the planet who do not accept homosexuality.
Gays, alone, keep pushing for more. They scream for tolerance, but refuse to acknowledge it. They mock, attack, revile, lie, scheme and openly loathe Christians, who tolerate them, while demanding acceptance and now praise and special rights and financial support using tax money.
Yet none of these cowards let out a peep against the Muslims, who not only don't tolerate them, but openly hate them, and hunt them down and kill them wherever and whenever they can.
Politically, in America, gays are hate-filled, self-loathing suicidal fools. And what you are doing is trying to use reasonable sounding words to hide the extremity of their self-destructive hypocrisy, to enable the political acceptance of their tyrannical agenda against the very people who have shown the most tolerance in the world for them, given that they completely disagree with them.
I hope you understand that what I mean, is that what you wrote, and your purpose, in trying to generalize and hide this gay hatred and Christian tolerance and Muslim murder, is evil.
If you think I mean anything less, you misunderstand me.
Have a nice day.
You are neither conservative nor pro-gay.
But you most certainly are confused.

If you are agnostic, who did the encoding?
It prevents me from having to censor myself. Profanity is usually frowned upon in polite company, and on forums, and when I talk about (or to) liberals, I want to be very profane.
Instead, I replace it with “interesting phraseology.”
I guess it depends on which agnostic you speak to. A woman from work is one and she says "she's believes in something bigger out there, just not God". Now she is a "Jew", who celebrates ALL the Jewish holidays. I asked her if she didn't believe in God, why does she do it. She said "it's tradition".
I told her, in a nice way, that she was just an atheist without b@!!s.
A man and a woman were created to love each other and multiply. We all know that men poking men and women trying to poke women has nothing to do with what God nor nature has laid out for mankind. Homosexuality is wrong, therefor homos marrying is not even on the table.
I didn’t want to go there. I really didn’t. But the past few days have made me as fed up as a person can get. I believe it’s time to lay it on the line about what these people do, and for a lady, it might not be the easiest thing. But no more sugarcoating.
The most concise and apt response to the subject of homosexuality I have ever read.
Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
