G.O.P.’s Portman, Saying Son Is Gay, Now Backs Same-Sex Marriage

NYT ^ | 3/16/13 | GERRY MULLANY

My son came out and said he loves 2 women, therefore I'm in favor of polygamy.

What's the difference?
Who is it hurting?

[Venturer]

When you get right down to it, this is why so many people accept faggots. They have a relative or friend who is one.

They aren’t bad people, they are just sick.

Now they want their sickness to spread like any other disease. It is a sickness of the mind, but it should not change marriage.

So will he support decriminalizing murder if his son kills someone?

[Servant of the Cross]

Mr. Portman has reached this conclusion based upon feelings and emotions. Here's a different conclusion, based upon faith and reason ....

"Let's not be naive, we're not talking about a simple political battle; it is a destructive pretension against the plan of God," wrote Cardinal Bergoglio in a letter sent to the monasteries of Buenos Aires. "We are not talking about a mere bill, but rather a machination of the Father of Lies that seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God." ... Pope Francis

This is all a pretext to eventually legalizing sex with children. That’s what this is all about. Incremental-ism.

Flavious, that's what my husband always says is the long-term goal. The other thing he always says is that at some point, it will be a high school graduation requirement to perform some type of homosexual sex.

Very simple....God’s way or man’s way.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

I hate politicians whose positions change depending on how it affects them.

I’ve read reports that NAMBLA is pushing this w/APA - the psycho group that “normalized” homosexuality by removing the “mental disorder” association.

To think Portman was Romney's right hand man.... Sometimes I am not all that bothered that Romney lost.

(Looks like you signed up a little before me and got BRK...I had to take BRL)

[newfreep]

Very simple....God’s way or man's satan’s way.

[FES0844]

Indeed, you are correct!

[jsanders2001]

> No they’re not, they’re 10% of the population I read it in the New York Times....(I trust you understand I am being sarcastic).

And they keep hoping to raise their numbers by indoctrinating (converting) them in school and on Boi Scout camping trips

[fatima]

Woola my son’s gay so now I back gay marriage.How dumb is that.I haven’t met one gay couple who wants to get married so why push it.Is it for the benefits .Then name it something else.Marriage is a sacrament before God.I just don’t get it.

[circlecity]

Let God be true and every man a liar.

[Mr. K]

bail on the whole country because your son wants a special benefit?

Nice work, Portman...

[SoFloFreeper]

What I said on an earlier thread:

The notion that we must endorse the sin of someone we love is a reversal of all morality.

Rob Portman, and indeed most of Western civilization, will continue to decline—rapidly—if the population doesn’t get this concept correct.

We can love our children, but not their behavior.

What if I were an alcoholic, or what if I were inclined to abuse someone who angers me? I was “born” that way, you know. I can’t help myself, it is just the way I am!

Well, Mr. Portman (and the rest of the West!), you are just going to have to accept me. More than that, you’re going to have to pass laws that ENDORSE my actions!

There is such a thing as “right” and “wrong”.

We are calling good “evil” and evil “good”, something the sages from Moses to Jesus to Paul to Aquinas to Calvin and Luther warned against. And we do this to our detriment.

[Mister Da]

I suppose of Portman’s son had announced he preferred sex with young boys, Portman would now support pedophilia; or if his son wanted a sex change operation, he would support that, too. For, if you embrace the (G)ays, the you must embrace the BLT, too, plus another alphabet soup of perversions.

Seems to me a parent can love a child without supporting their bad choices.

This reversal by Portman seems politically motivated to avoid tough questions from the media that Portman does not have the moral fiber to answer. Now, he is amoral - there is no right or wrong.

[Colonel_Flagg]

“For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” - 2 Timothy 3:2-5

Once again, God gets it right, Senator Portman.

(Robot voice) ... Enter Delta Quattro Sigma....... RINOIZATION COMPLETED. BEEP BEEP BEEP

[muawiyah]

Democrats, in fact, do that ~ they have relatives who are criminals so they seek to pass laws that justify the crimes.

So Romney had another Democrat on his short list, and a gay to boot. Think he was looking for easier hookups or something?
