Would you ever thought to have seen this even five years ago?

[newfreep]

It’s closer to “Constitutional American vs communist/islamist”

But at the core, it’s really “God vs satan/allah”

[faithhopecharity]

That makes sense

[rdl6989]

Agreed.

I do not agree with homosexuality as a concept, and I do not view it as a normal variant of sexuality.

I tend to view homosexuality as a “sexual peccadillo” which is their own business and between them and God if they believe. What a person does in the privacy of their own home is their business.

If it would only stay that way. But it hasn’t.

Where I have a problem is with the mainstreaming of homosexuality, the normalization of, the indoctrination of it, the endorsement of it, the celebration of it, and the construction of homosexuality into a protected political class.

That said, we should treat people as individuals with their own worth, even if we view them as having flaws, because we are all sinners and we all have flaws. In general, conservatives don’t view people as a “group” the way Leftists do, unless we are forced into it by issues such as illegal immigration where we are justified in grouping people together as lawbreakers if they are here illegally.

Personally, I judge people as individuals when I encounter them, and I treat people with default respect until it is clear through their words and actions that they are not deserving of that “default respect”.

Granted, these men would be unknown if it were not for their sexual preference, and if they are doing it to mainstream their sexual preference I would have an issue with that. If they were two men who had conservative views on many things and happened to be homosexual, I would treat them as conservatives.

I know there are many conservatives who think someone cannot be a homosexual and a conservative because they view those two things as at odds with each other, but I would take other things into account.

So, because a certain segment of society makes a parody of marriage makes it open season on marriage for everyong?

[Windflier]

"...Bill White and his husband, Bryan Eure..."

And with that, I'm out.

[Osage Orange]

Good post

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I'll bet the looney left is taking the high road and calling them f*gs, b*tt pirates, etc. on Twatter.

[catnipman]

“craven turncoats”

sounds to me like they smartened up and managed to escape Leftist Big Brother’s brainwashing ...

There are people who are gay, and there are gay people. The former is just one of many flaws humans have, many of whom are that way due to trauma. The latter, who define themselves by outrage and a sex-act, are the ones I take issue with.

BTW, didn’t people notice that Trump took a much more moderate view on these issues?

This is the photo here is the future of the Conservative movement in a few years time.

This is what those young MAGA Supporters believe:

And THIS is why we will lose our Country. I’m not asking you to accept it, I’m not asking you to agree with it, I’m asking you for decency towards people that are being harassed because of their support of our President.

Perfectly said Hildy.

Straight people made a parody of marriage a long time ago.

That's how homosexual "marriage" eventually got public support and legal recognition.

Good response. I wish we had an up vote for you.

[USS Alaska]

Good response. I wish we had an up vote for you.

What is an up vote?

[Hot Tabasco]

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU.

Puritans

[ladyjane]

An up vote is sort of a way of saying thumbs up, I like what you say.

It’s probably more commonly called a like or dislike option.
