RE: "I'm also not going to participate in anymore homosexual content threads after this last sentence."
Probably a wise choice on your part spinestein. These are no-win threads. The only reason why probably 3 out of my last five active threads have dealt with the issues of homosexuality in America is because I find myself drawn closer and closer to the fire that this discussion always provokes. While 95% of FReepers have already said most of what needs to be said on most issues (and already stated my clear conservative beliefs for me) like the need for reduced taxation, strong national defense, patriotism in times of Islamic terror and war, protection of our 2nd-Amendment rights from gun-grabbers, border protection, and the hideous legalization of slaughter we call abortion; the very same 95% of FReepers become foolish, irrational, religiously zealous robots when homosexuality is brought up. I guess I just can't resist calling them on it.
Many FReepers seem to share a kind of "American liberty for me, but not for thee" viewpoint when it comes to homosexuality, shielding their intense bigotry in meaningless, insipid buzzwords like the "gay agenda" whenever their viewpoint is challenged. Many of them, unable or simply too cowardly to fight for their own beliefs on the matter, resort to the infantile crying of "TROLL", and remind us that Jim Robinson doesn't like gays either, as if JimRob ( wise businessman that he is) were God or something, and that we are bound to follow his ideas to the letter or be banned for life. Sorry guys, but when has taking a conservative viewpoint on 80% of all issues and disagreeing with the majority in three fields (artistic freedom from censorship; the rights of gays to live as they want in America; support of the legalization of pot) made me or any other FReeper a radical leftists?
The difference, I think, is that there are many FReepers who only give lip service to the idea of our Republican form of Government and it's Constitution (with all of it's protections of unpopular ideas and persons from the majority-rules democrats among us), while they personally yearn for a kind of benevolent American theocracy in which God as they see Him rules over all of us and, of course, supports their prejudices above those of their opponents.
Have you read any of the hundreds of articles often linked to on these and similiar threads?
If you haven't, you are forgiven your ignorance. If you have, then I can't understand why you think that conservatives' objections to the promotion of homosexuality as normal and natural is based on irrational religious zeal.
The facts are religiously neutral and speak for themselves.
Even Taoism, Traditional Chinese medicine, and Ayurveda all understand same sex behavior to be unhealthy and unnatural, leading to all manner of physical *and* mental/emotional disorders.
