I would have been fine with it if they weren’t coming for our kids. Now that they’re coming for our kids, the fewer I know, the better.

But that’s exactly the “none of my business” fallacy that inevitably leads to the mess we have now. The critical decision point that let the genie out of the bottle was not when “they came for our kids”; it was when homosexuality began to be tolerated in the first place. The rest is just the inevitable outcome of permitting open homosexual behavior in society. It’s like saying, “I’m fine with letting Bengal tigers roam the neighborhood so long as they don’t start eating people. The critical decision was to let the tigers out in the first place.

I’m really sick to death of the “go along get along” libertarian types that make a display of their “tolerance” of social debauchery, but then finally want to draw a line when the entirely predictable avalanche of consequences happens to cross their own arbitrary red line. As I said earlier, Edmund Burke was right on target when he pointed out that evil flourishes not because of the evil men, but because of good men who refuse to do anything to stop it (“none of my business”).
