One neednt have had gaydar to know that Anderson Cooper was homosexual. Thats why the significance of the CNN anchors declaration yesterday Im gay always have been, always will be is not that he made it, but that he felt so empowered to do so.
In an email to Andrew Sullivan, a fellow homosexual who authors a blog for the Daily Beast, Cooper explained that he was reminded recently that while as a society we are moving toward greater inclusion and equality for all people, the tide of history only advances when people make themselves fully visible.
Thats the gay strategy to make themselves fully visible. As Sullivan wrote on his blog, The visibility of gay people is one of the core means for our equality.
Thats why gay rights activists so often state that every one of us knows someone or another who is gay.
The implication is that homosexuals constitute a sizable minority; that they deserve to be full integrated into every area of society, from the military to the Boy Scouts; that they deserve to be accorded the very same rights as heterosexuals, from marriage to adoption of children.
But homosexuals are not nearly as sizable a minority as the unsuspecting American public has been misled to believe.
Sure, most of us know someone or another who is gay. But most of us also know someone or another who is Asian.
Asians constitute a mere 5 percent of the U.S. population, which most of us would not consider sizeable. And the homosexual population is not even half that of the Asian population.
Thats not the disinformation of one of the pastors calling for the death of gay people, as Sullivan decried, but the fact-based conclusion of Garance Franke-Ruta, a senior editor at The Atlantic magazine.
In an article published this past spring, Franke-Ruta, who is no conservative, no evangelical Christian, pointed to an April 2011 study by the Williams Institute, a gay and lesbian think tank at UCLA, which calculated that only 1.7 percent of Americans between 18 and 44 are homosexual.
Given that data, wrote Franke-Ruta, the size of the gay population has been massively overestimated by members of the American public. She points to a Gallup poll last year in which those surveyed figured that gays and lesbians made up more than 25 percent of theU.S.population.
That so many Americans mistakenly believe that the homosexual population is 15 times larger than it actually is shows how successful gay rights activists have been in portraying their constituency as a sizable minority.
And they have managed to do so because of their prominence in such highly visible professions as media, entertainment and politics.
Indeed, Coopers acknowledgement yesterday that he is gay and proud was preceded several months ago by a similar announcement by fellow CNN anchor Don Lemon. And it will surprise hardly anyone when and if a former CNN anchor, currently working for a rival network, follows the lead of Lemon and Cooper.
Meanwhile, a recent issue of Entertainment Weekly featured a cover story on The New Art of Coming Out. It celebrates the new casual methods celebrities are using to reveal their sexuality publicly for the first time.
That includes such Hollywood gays as Jim Parsons, a cast member on CBS The Big Bang Theory, Zachary Quinto, who appeared on NBCs Heroes, before moving on to such movies as Star Trek, Matt Bomer, star of USA Networks White Collar, Jesse Tyler, of ABCs Modern Family and Jane Lynch, of FOXs Glee.
Then theres the political world, where homosexuality is no longer the liability with voters it once was. Indeed, the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, which makes campaign contributions to homosexual candidates throughout the country, says there are more than 1,000 open gay elected officials serving at some level or another in government.
And the gay community has a very special relationship with the Obama administration, which, according to the Victory Fund, has appointed more than 250 gays, lesbians, bi-sexuals, and transgenders to full-time and advisor positions with the executive branch, more than all know LGBT appointments of other presidential administrations combined.
The success of homosexuals in infiltrating the media, Hollywood and politics explains why so many Americans have been duped into believing that every fourth person is gay or lesbian or (other).
It also explains how the tiny minority has managed to advance its ungodly agenda, over the objection of the majority of Americans who continue to believe that homosexuality is a sin.
Every story about queers states how small a minority they are.
Only 1 or 2 % they claim. Bull Hockey.
They are a growing minority.
Growing because it is becoming more acceptable by liberals.
Which is also proving that they are not born queer. Some event in their lives. A pedophile a bad home life, a crazed mother or father turns these people queer.
Perhaps 1% are born queer and the rest are recruited, but recruitment is going on and it is working.
Their ranks are growing.
Faggotry is depraved, perverted and evil.
Truth doesn't change.
Nope...it's still abnormal.
One neednt have had gaydar to know that Anderson Cooper was homosexual.”
Make that “John Roberts” and it would also be true
Fixed the title.
Nothing, because, contrary to the fevered imaginations of homesexual activists, we who oppose the notion of upending societal norms for the proclivities of a VERY few, have never encouraged, nor would we tolerate, violence toward those who engage in those activities.
Most conservatives have a 'live and let live' attitude. If homosexual activists hadn't been hell bent on changing laws, and forcing their lifestyle on us, and through the educational establishment, our children, we wouldn't be bothering with them now.
That’s the key to the entire problem.
Copraphilia. All male homos are by definiition copraphiles.
No religious or moral objection needed...just the normal human revulsion towards feces.
People who play in human waste are not normal, and never will be. But we have to be vocal.
A proclivity towards inserting penis’s into rectums will never be normal.
How do you get 4 faggots onto one barstool?
To be phobic implies an unnatural fear of something and I certainly don't fear homosexuals or their unnatural behavior. However, I do abhor the thought of two men acting in a sexual/romantic manner. That's why I refer to myself as homoabhorrent.
Turn it over?
Turn it over ...
I don’t sodomize men and no one I know does, so, no, sodomy is not the new normal.
What did one faggot say to the other faggot when he approached him at the bar?
A: "Shall I push in your stool?"
“The tide of history only advances when people make themselves fully visible.’
On the contrary, history shows that the acceptance of sexual deviancy as normal is a harbinger of doom for a society.
If your children and grandchildren attend any government funded educational institution or watch TV they are being mentally prepared to be that generation that embraces and engages in this abomination.
The new “normal” is sex outside of marriage. At one time folks were expected to be virgins until their wedding night. Now everyone from barely teens to grandparents are bed hopping without shame or benefit of clergy. And coincidentally, some of the perversions are with same sex partners, some with opposite sex. Nobody cares unless one of the parties is under the age of consent—and that’s bound to change if things keep going as is.

That’s the real reason why “affordable healthcare” is such a big deal for the under 30 set.
When I was that age (1960s) nobody gave a rip about health coverage.
Now with rampant STDs, kids talk about health care all the time.
