The best thing, the absolute BEST thing, would be for all these filthy losers to frequent only those places that permit them to flaunt their delusions openly, and for Christians to migrate to places where these delusional fanatics feel unwelcome.

We might even be able to form a new nation without the delusional left.

I proud to be one of the few people in this country who doesn’t waste my time making “my bracket.” I think it’s a GAY thing to do and I don’t get aroused watching boys in shorts playing basketball. It’s definitely not my thing.

I know some gays and they are not horrible people....but I have no respect for anyone shouting out their sexual desires or proclivities in public no matter what....

you would think some of them would be a bit ashamed...

I agree for some in the alphabet soup community the activism is more important than anything else. There are some (fewer and fewer these days) who just wanna live without imposing and insisting.

well its like football season tickets.....you think you're in the area with all the fans that support your team and then you have a opposing team supporter right smack in the middle talking big and obnoxious...

you can't trust people to do the right thing..

they'll sell their season tickets to an opposing team in an instant if they can make a buck...

just like people will sell nice homes in quiet peaceful areas to people that are not nice, nor peaceful and who do not belong to that culture...just to make a buck...

The homosexuals I know don’t do that. They just want to be left alone and aren’t interested in SSM for themselves.

When, where and how did being a sexual deviant exalt one to an almost God-like status ? The actual number of queers in society is down in the noise, but far from being driven back into a shameful closet, they are trumpeted hither, thither and yon as the goal to which we should all aspire. Maybe some psychologist could explain this strange phenomenon to me.
