Ever since I announced my bid for the United States Presidency, I’ve been questioned about some of my more radical political opinions. Most of those questions have dealt with my proposed economic policies – for example, the abolition of the IRS and the implementation of the Fair Tax. Today, I offer an answer to questions about why I am opposed to the idea of gays adopting or teaching children.
Several years ago, I began writing columns questioning the so-called gay rights movement. I prefer to call it the “gay privileges” movement because gays are not presently deprived of anything that is rightfully theirs. A gay man has the same right I have to marry a woman. His waiver of that actual right does not allow him to substitute another “right” he deems more suitable to his needs.
At the time I decided to express such criticism of the gay agenda, I was not fully opposed to gay adoption. Nor was I absolutely opposed to hiring gay grammar school teachers. My criticism of the gay agenda was narrower than it is today and the tone of my criticism was far more subdued. That all changed when the homosexual rights crowd started to circulate some of my early columns.
Frequently, the criticism would come en masse from gay groups who would post my columns on PRIDE websites or chat rooms at universities like UNC-Greensboro, which is also known as UNC-Gonorrhea. They would work themselves into a fury over my well-reasoned essays and then respond with a flurry of obscenities unfit for reproduction in this column.
Before long, readers identifying themselves as “gay” were threatening to cut off my genitalia, burn my children, rape my wife, and, just to top it all off, kill me, too. Good thing these readers were all “gay.” Otherwise, they might not be so happy.
So, of course, I took the time to survey a number of other conservative columnists to find out where most of their profane and threatening hate mail comes from. The answer is always the same: Without hesitation, they all say it comes from the “gay” community.
Despite the volume and intensity of this gay vitriol, I have always refused to reciprocate with threats of violence or strings of profanity. Instead, I have relied on the far more powerful tool of heavy sarcasm. And that refusal to respond with profanity or violence has had a predictable effect on the gay activists. It has made them much less gay (less happy, that is) and also much more active.
One of their more recent stunts was to get together on a gay website to hatch a plan to destroy my marriage. Actually, they started their plan on one of the Transgendered websites. Since the Transgendered people are so angry, I suppose they are technically classified as “gay,” too.
The first step of their plan to destroy my marriage was to concoct a false story that I once committed adultery. For the record, I have never cheated on my wife. I did, however, attempt to cheat on my wife one time. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get past Ms. Coulter’s bodyguard.

Wow,someone else besides me on FR who is not totally dismissive of Black Studies!
I took at least three such classes in college.They were all academically demanding.One was taught by a Nigerian professor who was educated in England and demanded top notch work.Another was a man from Detroit who had a wonderfully inclusive attitude toward the whole discipline.
Neither teacher articulated"anti-white"views or tried to indoctrinate us into black nationalism.
Now a few of the black STUDENTS were on the edgy side but they weren't the ones grading the papers or evaluating the quality of work.
My last boss, an African American Christian, teaches classes in Religion and she really knows her scriptures. She's rigorous and I've typed some of her exams. I sure wouldn't want to take any classes from her because I would have to work too hard (smile). There are always some professors who grade too easily and kids always seem to take their classes. Another professor in Philosoophy and Religion is from Africa and he is also very demanding.
One of the professors actually wrote in a newspaper article on campus that he thought all whites hated blacks. Funny since he's part white I'm sure and he's married to a white woman. Very odd.
That cracks me up.
There was this running joke in the Sixties that the more militant talking a black man was,the more likely he was to have a white girlfriend or wife!
I hate to stereotype here but in general a liberal white woman will tolerate and overlook more of the black male's indiscretions than a"sister".Most black woman "don't play that"and will call the black man out in an instant where the sympathetic white woman may think"well,I must be understanding.After all,He's a black man trying to make it in a hostile world".
Another seeming paradox is that black nationalists and"Afrocentrists"get more heat from other blacks than they do from whites.As a white guy who loves history,I enjoy talking about Africa and the Black Diaspora but I'm not afraid to correct those who think "Cleopatra was black"and related nonsense.
Most blacks will say."Man,I don't want to hear that black s---".White intellectuals,both liberal and conservative,I find love to engage in a battle of ideas.
Your original point was that sexual preference was chosen, unlike being black.
My counterpoint was that being gay is hardwired at a very deep level, and invited you to consider how hardwired it is by imagining that you had to force yourself to love the same gender in order to comply with societal standards of right and wrong.
I'm sorry if it was too much to ask you to go through that thought-exercise. Or would be easy for you to be attracted to the same sex? Either way, if you don't want to respond, I understand.
As an antiques dealer, I met and liked a lot of gays. One used to give me nice jewelry whenever we did a show together. He was a good person and so was his partner. My brother-in-law was gay and he was nicer to me than any of his brothers and sisters, including my HUSBAND at the time. I loved him and was very sad when he passed away. What I hate is the gay agenda, not the gay person him/herself. Working at a liberal college, I knew/know many lesbians and gays and they're all nice people. I just never got in their faces (or feces) to cause problems. I just decided to love them where they were. That's God's solution to my feelings about them.
> Ahhh, I see. So in your world, anything YOU deem hardwired is then acceptable behavior.
Why do you folks constantly put words in my mouth? I never said that being hardwired was the only requirement to being acceptable. If what you do doesn't harm anyone (this is between consenting adults), last I knew this was the land of the free.
It helps to actually know some gay people. My sister-in-law and her partner are raising 2 beautiful twins, and they are wonderful kids. My S-I-L and her partner committed to stay together for life, and their partnership (really, it is a marriage) has lasted far longer than many of my so-called Christian friends' marriages-- 15 years and still going strong.
Vice President Cheney knows what I am talking about. I guess you don't.
Thanks. I appreciate the kind words. M
I had one boss for a year, interim, who was from Ethiopia and was extremely afrocentric. She always brought speakers to campus who shared her views. An interesting year for sure.

I'm a little puzzled. Is my daughter safer being taught be a lesbian or a male heterosexual teacher?
> I'm a little puzzled. Is my daughter safer being taught be a lesbian or a male heterosexual teacher?
Statistically, she is safer with the lesbian.
Let me see if there are say 40 times more heterosexuals than there are homosexuals then why would be daughter be safer with a heterosexual man? Whats the rate of lesbian sex with teenagers vs heteromale sex with teenage girls.?
and father. My question was not fill in the blank however.
> Let me see if there are say 40 times more heterosexuals than there are homosexuals then why would be daughter be safer with a heterosexual man? Whats the rate of lesbian sex with teenagers vs heteromale sex with teenage girls.?
I'm not sure but I think we agree. The *rate* of lesbians attacking girls is far, far less than heterosexual males attacking girls. Not just in number of incidents-- the rates per person-group.
So a daughter would be much safer being taught by a lesbian than a straight man, by those numbers.
You're right about one thing -- your theories stink!
The bus that went to Selma doesn't go to Sodom. Neither you nor your homosexual friends can drag us down there. The homosexual's shameful, detestable lifestyle does not equate with our years of godly struggle. So don't even attempt to establish any type of moral equivalence.
I do pray that our Lord opens their ears to the truth and they listen before it is too late.
I guess those children don't deserve a FATHER.
> I guess those children don't deserve a FATHER.
They deserve a loving family. And they have it.
