Answer me this: fundamentally, why are you and a certain segment of society, as reflected on this site, so threatened by gays? You continually frame it in tremedously idealistic language, but on a FUNDAMENTAL LEVEL, why does homosexuality bother you so much? I personally could not care less if a guy wants to have sex with another guy...not my thing, but as long as they aren't hurting anyone else, shouldnt people be free to live the way they want to? And are they invalidated as people and as human beings because of SEX???

Why does it bother you so much?

In answer to your question...read John Adam's quote again. I believe he and the other founders understood this very well as they set in motion and molded what we benefit from today. The problem is, fewer and fewer people have any comprenhnsion about what their liberties rest upon.

Despite that, what Adams referred to is a fundamental truth that I subscribe to and agree with, and upon which hangs the future of our nation, our liberties, our society and civilization as we have known it. The course down the path away from it would destroy the very underlying fabric of those things I just enumerated...and their loss would certainly bother me.

I also understand that compulsion in such matters will not work except as codified into law through the duly appointed methods described in the constitution of this nation and those of the several states, and as supported by the free will choice of the people, remembering that the law itself must set solidly on those foundational principles. The events in San Francisco, IMHO, represent the antithesis to all of that.

I don’t feel threatened by them. But I do believe their agenda, if implemented, threatens the very future of civilization.

You continually frame it in tremedously idealistic language, but on a FUNDAMENTAL LEVEL, why does homosexuality bother you so much?

Because it is a serious perversion unequivocally condemned by God in the Bible. The ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorra were wiped off the face of the map because of it. (San Franciscans would do well to remember that they are sitting atop the San Andreas Fault.) Just because psychologists have stopped calling is a perversion, does not change the fact that it remains a perversion.

I personally could not care less if a guy wants to have sex with another guy...not my thing, but as long as they aren't hurting anyone else, shouldnt people be free to live the way they want to? And are they invalidated as people and as human beings because of SEX???

No man is an island. What he does ultimately affects others. If they where on an island and not coming back to America, then it does not concern me. But, if they are going to engage in an unnatural perversion that leads to destroyed lives, and try to pass it off as a viable alternative lifestyle that children should consider, and spread a disease among themselves that ultimately spreads into the general population, and demand billions of dollars of taxpayer money and insurance premium money to go toward the treatment of men who have AIDS because they had deviant sex with a hundred men who do the same thing, an and then demand that medical research funding be stolen away from research in diabetes, cancer and heart disease so that they can be cured of the most easily preventable illness on Earth just because they can’t seem to get it though their heads not to stick things where they don’t belong… then it does concern me.

And are they invalidated as people and as human beings because of SEX???

No. They are merely very sick people. They need help. Spreading their sickness will not help them, but it will hurt others.

Why does it bother you so much?

I believe that I have answered that. Now you answer one question for me. What do you think of people who what to have sex with animals?
