I think you may misunderstand what it means to be a "full-fledged" conservative. Despite what you might see from the msm, real conservatives do not want to control others.

So let me ask you this...do you know any homosexuals personally? I know some, and am related to some and I like them...even love them, very much. I do not approve of their lifestyle...but that is not mine to decide.

Personally, I think you may need to reevaluate a little bit.

Yes do, I work with several and there was time a while I dated a woman who had many homosexual friends. They were like brothers to her. Older men, very low key, professionals, rich, and you would never know they were homos.

But I think what you want to know. IF MY BROTHER was a homosexual... I would sure love him (I am human :) - but I would not agree with his lifestyle. How would we get along? well, that depends of how respect he would have for the family for me, as part of his family. He could a "radical" homosexual, in you face kind of a person, in which case, I would disown him as a brother (My family is very demanding and can be very tough and so am I). If he were a low key person, willing to live his life and spare the family the details, then I think I could get along with him nicely. If he were say, about 18 years old, my advise to him would be: OK, you are what you are, live your life the way you want, try to enjoy it, find happiness and leave the rest of us alone. Certainly I would discourage him of getting a job in Republican senator's office! :)
