At least I've gotten somewhere. You still haven't answered my very first question to you:
"Now are you saying that NO conservative can associate with ANY homosexual and still be a "real, true" conservative?"
Answer that YES OR NO.
I have said that homosexuality is imcompatible with conservatism....(Andrew Sullivan is a case in point.)
Of course I think conservatives can associate with homosexuals. I just don't think homosexuals can ever be conservatives....it's a contradiction in terms.
Also, I think conservative institutions, politicians, etc., should be able to hire those of like mind to themselves. I think there's good reason for them to want people who match their philosophy in their top leadership positions.
Now, I've really got to go.
Enjoy.
