Let's see: the gay lobby has shut parents out of any decision-making about what their children will be taught about sexuality from kindergarten onwards; the gay lobby has insisted that gay issues be included in all curricula including math so that parents cannot opt their children out; GLSEN insists on indoctrinating children into unhealthy sex techniques and where to pick up gay partners; gay activists have taken tiny children with them to revolting public sex exhibitions like Folsom that feature live sex acts including S&M; gay activists have sued to have the words "husband" and "wife" removed from schoolbooks and marriage licenses; gay activists have persecuted ex-gays and the public places that try to host their meetings; gay activists targeted supporters of Prop 8 for hateful stalking and threats; the gay lobby has called the founding religious traditions of the greatest nation the world has ever known "bigotry" -- and you think conservatives have caused gays "so much pain"?
Ya, I really just don’t agree with you. I think there’s a tendency towards paranoia on this issue. There’s this fear. If I could paraphrase the sentiment I read out there sometimes, “These faggots need to be killed.” I mean that’s the sort of rhetoric that you read out there. Now, I don’t blame this on conservatives, or anyone really, just sayin’ that when you read that from someone, or see signs about homo’s being killed or whatever, I think it’s completely out of line and actually really sick and evil. To a lesser degree, I read someone say that they should be “shamed and shunned.” Again, I think the visceral cold-hearted nature of this type of language and emotion is simply unallowable. It’s a moral outrage to say this. I know most people aren’t like this. It’s a good thing we live in America where we are able to conduct ourselves as adults and make rational decisions about these things.
As far as specific policy issues, I believe that people have a right to feel how they want, as long as they are respectful humans, and the public will sort it out through the voting process. After that, we can all move on with our lives and stop fighting so much. The ruling class wants us to be fighting over insignificant issues so they can keep running to the bank to collect our savings. If we wanna keep living on this planet for a long time to come, then we better resolve our differences and move on with our lives.
