Men on Men is particularly offensive and downright dangerous and risky.

Its like seeing how many cheap hookers you can find for unprotected action.

I remember when the late Reggie White was on the Sean Hannity show.

A "gay" caller asked him "what if your son was gay? What would you do?". Of course this question is the classic one designed to make you tongue-tied, if not shut you up completely.

Reggie answered "I would still love my son, but have him seek help and guidance" or words to that effect.

The most simple of answers, yet I have seldom hear anyone, at least in the public eye, respond this simply and cogently. Instead, you get responses like Portman ("you're right, now I must change my views"), or the person actually does become flummoxed and not know how to answer such a simple question.

ok second thread,

Portman knew for years.

Romney’s vp selection committee knew.

Portman is compromised and was blackmail”able”

Portman should have kicked out his son.

Portman is trying to oppose preemptivly a constitutional amendment.

Portman is playing the “chritian means you have to be a sucker” card.

Portman is deluding himself with the born that way lie.

Logic and reason dictate why homsexuality and any marriage based on the fetish is illogical and unreasonable.

Portman should resign effective immediatly.

A woman has the right to do what she wants when it comes to her body. She is allowed to murder any life forms that invade her space and she is allowed to have sex whenever with whomever she wishes.
However she is not allowed to marry a man who is already married even if the other woman is agreeable to the marriage.

Common sense (sarc)

More than that, you’re going to have to pass laws that ENDORSE my actions!

More than that, you're going to have to PAY for my actions!

More than that, your health plans will have to COVER my actions!

And finally, more than that, we will pass laws that will put you in prison if you don't ENDORSE, PAY and COVER my actions!

A close parallel is the evolution of marijuana laws.

When the kids of influential people started getting popped for possession back in the hippie days, and faced the harsh prison sentences routinely handed out to the underclass, the law quickly moderated and sentences became relaxed for the little darlings.

Possession is no longer even a “crime” in most states.

Some animals are more equal that others ~ Orwell.
