Pro-LGBT push underscores GOP convention (Barf Alert)
The Hill ^ | 7/23/2016 | Megan R. Wilson

Posted on 07/23/2016 1:24:44 PM PDT by 20yearsofinternet

Pro-LGBT Republicans, both gay and straight, say the party is going through a fundamental change. Equality issues are not controversial among younger Republicans, majorities of whom support gay marriage and other measures.

Richard Grenell, an openly gay former diplomat, told The Hill he is encouraged by how much progress the party has made, even over the last four years.

During the 2012 campaign, Grenell stepped down as Mitt Romney’s national security and foreign policy spokesman after to a conservative backlash over his sexuality.

“When I walk through the convention, I see politicians, activists and staffers who swarm me to tell me how supportive they are on equality issues,” said Grenell, who has been to every GOP convention since 1992. But, he added, some of them have not said so publicly.

“I am now switching my reaction to them to say, ‘Thank you for your private support, but I need your public support.’ ”

‘Thank you for your private support, but I need your public support.’

Translation: Look at me, everybody! Me! Me! Me! Tell me how fabulous me and my emotional instability are. Wait! I didn’t tell you could look away yet!

Ditto!

And the perv Thiel is a fascist. His business was poised to open an office in NC but canceled the plan when NC passed a law to protect women and children in public restrooms.

I assume there were many Republican sodomites who don’t fight religious liberty they could have chosen to speak.

A climate of COMMON SENSE must prevail. YOUR good personal
conduct in front of your child is the main thing.

This is a free country. We cannot dictate things to people.
We don’t have to associate with them. A political party
cannot dictate sexual behavior; but Hussein has pushed the
more recent “restroom” nonsense in order to deflect
attention away from his own problems.

“Restrooms” are the least of our problems. They are just
ROODY-POOH.

Adolph Hitler’s bunch couldn’t imprison and execute
“faggots” fast enough. That is not the route I want to
take. - Live and let live and be discerning!

Our son was born in 1965 and has gone through a lot.
We have tried to raise him right and teach him right;
but our kids are going to cause us angst while trying to
live and learn - through the times when we parents aren’t
“cool” or “with it”. Pray and keep on sticking to your
solid beliefs. Sooner than later, love will win out and
TRUTH will surface like a case of heartburn.

These liberal parents who march in Gay Pride parades or
allow their kids to bring home their same-sex “partners”
are full of crap. Just be consistent and stick to your
values.

We’ve been killing babies since 1973 and now homosexual marriage is legal. People who believe in traditional values have no reason to be loyal to the Republican Party anymore. The elites didn’t keep their part of the deal and now they are paying for it. Our best goal, is to keep our borders and to stop the Islamic invasion for as long as we can - and to pray for revival.

Indeed. Only a revival of conservative evangelical faith can turn the tide. While if there ever was a time for a 3rd party to have a change, it would have been with Trump. The maxim that the Republicans do what the Democrats do, only slower, remains true.

Nobody really cares what two consenting adults do in their bedroom.

Even the financial cost refutes that, seeing as HIV/AIDs has killed over 600,000 Americans, and 79% of new HIV cases are among MSM (CDC), for which much tax money go to treat.

Indeed. I’m glad I have no children of my own who will have to experience such a world. I feel bad for my friends’ and relatives’ children though.

Hate that my unborn child is going to grow up without a political party that advocates normal human behavior and relationships.

A BIBLICAL Message to LGBT folks EVERYWHERE!



 
Genesis 13:13
Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and
their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men
from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them
."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.


Leviticus niv

18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.

20:13 If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

 
 


Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Doonesbury Cartoon for Feb/08/2013

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.


Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.


Romans 1     New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE)
 
 18 The wrath of God is indeed being revealed from heaven against every impiety and wickedness of those who suppress the truth by their wickedness. 19 For what can be known about God is evident to them, because God made it evident to them. 20 Ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what he has made. As a result, they have no excuse; 21 for although they knew God they did not accord him glory as God or give him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened. 22 While claiming to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes.
 

24 Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts of their hearts for the mutual degradation of their bodies. 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and worshiped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 Therefore, God handed them over to degrading passions. Their females exchanged natural relations for unnatural, 27 and the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God handed them over to their undiscerning mind to do what is improper. 29 They are filled with every form of wickedness, evil, greed, and malice; full of envy, murder, rivalry, treachery, and spite. 


2 Peter 2

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done.
Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.



But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.


If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...

Alright this is about as good a way as any to shove in their faces that THE BIBLE QUOTERS ARE ALL RIGHT (and to really tamp it down, bring in a quote from a different section of history than Sodom — which would also call for the same punishment for sabbath breakers) and THE BUGGERERS ARE ALL WRONG.

It’s a subtler story, though, involving notably the Abrahamic bargain and the statement by Jesus that if the miracles that were seen in Israel had been seen in Sodom they would have “repented in sackcloth and ashes.” (The context indicates salvational miracles here.)

It isn’t a matter of “their changing” — it is a matter of “God changing them.” The buggery habit is a ritual of self defense; by submitting to a bigger stronger enemy they get that enemy’s power. Until they have been credibly shown that God will stand up for their defense “while they are still sinners” then the proper witness has NOT been given. There is no foundation for a repentance UNTIL that happens. Now God has the capability of seeing ahead who will respond to the kindness, but to fail to express and offer it in the absence of any other information is a wrongdoing towards God on OUR part.

Obviously politicians know which way the wind is blowing. Straight is out. White is out. Most men are out. Christians are out. The able-bodied are out. Only the fags are in, precisely because they are out. All hail the butt lovers, the shit believers, our newest fashionable overlords.

I kinda like Jesus' words:

"Go and sin no more."


HE did not have to explain WHY it was a sin; EVERYONE knew this already.

Homos have been lied to; claiming that it is NOT a sin.

I figger it's best to prove that fact, first.


1 John 1:8 NIV
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
