CONWAY, Ark. (KTHV) -- John Schenck, the co-founder of the Gay Pride Parade of Conway, has died. Schenck's husband and partner of nearly 41 years, Robert Loyd, died, from a heart attack last December.

Schenck and Loyd moved to Arkansas in 1978 to care for Loyd's mother, who lived in Damascus. Loyd, who worked as a hairdresser in West Palm Beach, Florida, and Schneck eventually opened a salon on the outside of town. They named the gas station-turned-salon The Lion's Den. It proved so successful, they expanded to Greers Ferry and Heber Springs.

In 1986, Schenck and Loyd moved to Conway. The couple purchased a large Victorian house, eyeing it as a location for another salon.

“Robert Loyd, died, from a heart attack last December”

“heart attack” = AIDS

In 2004, the couple were married in Canada, as it was remained illegal in the United States.

What happened to editors, who were supposed to fix things like this?

Men don’t have husbands.

Nothing is weirder than one man calling another man their “husband.”

True, but if you say that to a leftist, they’d yell or say that we’re “old-fashioned”.

Men can’t have “husbands”. That totally destroys Words/Language and Traditions to insanity and irrationality. Two males sodomizing each other can never make a “marriage”.

Civil societies collapse when Just Laws don’t promote “public virtue” and “Right Reason” (science/Truth (God)). When you remove truth and science from our Justice System, it becomes an irrational vice system.

As Montesquieu stated, all Just Law has to promote “public virtue” for a Free Republic. Promoting vice will always collapse civil societies since it corrupts the minds of the young.

We really have to take back Just Law and our Words/Language. Wittgenstein: He who can control the Words will control the concepts of the masses.

We have to restore Truth and Meaning to our Words again. Education is essential-—something our children are not getting, so they remain totally irrational and dumb and think sodomy is a virtue.

I hate when gays use the words “husband” or “wife.”

It’s cultural appropriation. I’m serious.

So are they. They know exactly what they are doing, and their allies also know what they are doing, what they are destroying, and how that fits into a larger agenda. The problem is that there are far too many people in this country who should know better, but care more about what others think of them, and what they think of themselves, than they do about the future of this country, or, indeed, the civilized world.

"What happened to editors, who were supposed to fix things like this?"

I read a linked article from Yahoo (it wasn't a Yahoo article), but I can't remember the source. In any case, it was very clear that the article was "outsourced", and written so poorly that I could barely follow what they were attempting to say.

It was something along the lines of....

"Trump, which most people knows, will be a not good President, have been spend his days since Election Day name people to serve his Cabinet."

And the web site created by Jim Robinson intended to express Christian, moral values is supposed to care about this . . . why?

I can do nicely not hearing anything about the degenerates that some here seem to admire so greatly. It shows just how far America has fallen before the Maker that ‘conservatives’ even feel this needs an audience.
