Shortly after John McCain announced his choice, a reader from northwest Ohio wrote that the “overwhelming consensus” at a local gay bar “was extremely positive.” Gay and lesbian readers across the country agree....

I've heard rumors that she had more women running in and out of the White House than Bill did.
One thing about gays and lesbians is that they’re very politically active. They always have been. They can do a lot to swing an election.
They don’t like Obama at all.
Sarah Palin possesses all the qualities that homosexuals (and Hollyweird) generally admire.
She has tremendous “star appeal,” she is very attractive, stylish, has a flair for the dramatic. She (should) has (have) it all, in their minds.
I read last week that the Log Cabin Republicans have endorsed McCain/Palin.
Now that’s funny.
Good job keeping thing in perspective.
“Make no mistake, this is an attempt to drive a wedge with the relgious conservatives. It’s another miscalculation on their part, based on their faulty stereotypes.”
Agree. I don’t care what party they are associated with, the #1 vector for infectious disease spread in the US is the so-called “gay” community. The marketing of disease and deviance captures many but especially not those understanding the epidemiology of disease. Male homosexuals have the highest incidence of HIV/AIDS, syphilis, drug-resistant gonorrhea, entamoeba histolytica, chlamydia, herpes simplex II, fulminant cytomegalovirus, Chancroid, Drug Resistant TB, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis non A & B, just to name a few. The press of course never discusses the CDC facts, but if you want to look for yourself the information is in the scientific literature (except in “gay” community libraries. More than any other segment of society, the homosexuals are costing us billions in medical care because of deviant behavior.
There’s a reason why homosexual men get along with straight women (note the hairdresser phenomena) and visa versa with homosexual women.
I don’t know what the reason is, but it does exist.
Show me an ancient people group which widely accepted homosexuality, and I’ll show you and extinct people group...
try reading about something called Ancient Greece or one called the Roman Empire, homosexuality was the norm in their societies and their civilizations lasted for thousands of years and formed the basis for ours
“try reading about something called Ancient Greece or one called the Roman Empire, homosexuality was the norm in their societies and their civilizations lasted for thousands of years and formed the basis for ours”
I have read on the subject matter. Homosexual behavior was there for sure—most homosexuals in Rome bought and sold young boys, catamites as they were called—do we really want to take the roman road? Romans also fed people to lions for sport, immersed people in boiling oil, etc.
Why is this always their natural setting?
I would think that she would be a big hit!
I didn’t say we should, but a lot of people act like history started in the year 1 A.D. and that there was no history before Christianity. For example one of the hostesses on the view recently swore that the Greeks had always been a Christian nation, she has no knowledge of the pagan times and swore she was right. It’s out there on youtube somewhere.
Rome lasted for less than 1000 years, and only as an empire for less than 500. Unlike in Greece, homosexuality was NOT widely accepted in Rome until after it became an empire--and its society went into a definite decline (even as its wealth and power, for a while, went up). For the last 100 years of Rome (already in steep decline by then, in power and wealth) it became officially Christian--and rejected homosexual practice explicitly.
Greece's high water mark was about 300 BC and only lasted as an empire (under Alexander) for a generation. Even then, while pederesty (sex with boys or young men) was tolerated, it was also something expected to be grown out of... A warrior would engage in homosexual acts while away from home, but but when he got back from the battlefield, he was expected return to his wife--and father children.
Both these societies were utterly dependent on slavery, and despite their political, philosophical, literary, and architectural achievements, were as cruel and harsh as any other of the political systems in the ancient world. In a word, they are hardly civilizations to be emulated--especially in their perversities.
The Jews alone of ancient nations fully condemned homosexual behavior, along with other forms of sex outside of marriage--and they remain with us as a distinct people group to this day. Met any "Romans" or "Athenians" recently?
Oh, well, if a TV personality said it she is representative of the level of education across the entire nation. Was her name Micheal Jackson. Please accept this sarcasm with no offense intended.
