[Delphinium]

Claiming that you live in the real world--where everyone knows and/or is related to someone who's gay--and spitting out the word "pervert" like it's a racial epithet, bothers me.

sexually deviating from what is natural has nothing to do with race. Using the word pervert to describe perversion might offend you, but would you except any word that describes the unnaturalness of the lifestyle?

I come from a huge family, and only 2 of us are professing Christians, but none are homosexuals. Wouldn't make it right, if there was one.

But to attempt to diminish and dehumanize people with your ignorance only dehumanizes you.

To say that their agenda and lifestyle are wrong does not dehumanize them anymore than calling a drug addict, a drug addict dehumanizes them. I am not at all ignorant about this subject, just because I have not been brainwashed into political correctness that trys to silence the truth.

We conservatives can well disapprove of this so-called lifestyle; we can condemn its sexual practices (count me in on both of those)

So you agree with me.

I just don't like the idea of them pushing their agenda in schools, and government and I still have a right to say so.

"So you agree with me."

No, I don't. Don't twist what I say, please.

As far as your coming from a "large family," and there were no homosexuals in it...well, don't bet on it. By the way, I did not conflate race and homosexuality--that's your connection, not mine.

"I just don't like the idea of them pushing their agenda in schools, and government and I still have a right to say so."

Finally, we agree on something. Especially your right to say so. And I know you endorse my right to disagree vehemently with you on your approach to this subject, which I think is appalling. Again, my right to say so.
