All I call for is for conservatives not to deliberately alienate gays who might be persuaded at least to help defend our country.
So yes, at least from my persocetive, you did bring it up, and in a direct response to me. That is why I posted what I did and indicated simply that it was in response to one aspect of your comments.
Anyhow, I have shared with you my own views, and I am content with that. I see what you are trying to do and hope that anyone, including folks involved in this lifestyle will vote for candidates who espouse American values and American commitment to freedom, liberty, and the fundamental principles they rest upon here and abroad.
And I hope that they will see, that even if those principles are geared towards exposing that lifestyle for the problem that it is, that they will turn from it and embrace something more healthy to society as a whole and to themsleves.
I agree. And I think they will be more open to the idea if they don't think we hate them. They can bear disapproval. But hatred scares them... as it would anyone, yes?
