I think you’re right. Statism is the mortal threat to the republic - homosexuality is simply one of the vehicles the left uses to advance it. That is not to say that homosexuality isn’t a threat to the most basic and successful social construct of humanity - marriage and the family, but in attacking the symptom (homosexuality) instead of the problem (marxism), you leave yourself exposed to the left’s hyenas in the press and weaken your position in the bigger fight.
On the contrary, every flank of the enemy has to be engaged. Plus, so many Americans are completely sick of and outraged about the homo-nazi agenda being shoved at them from every direction that I think it’s likely that any candidate who speaks the truth like Paladino will garner more votes, not fewer.
It takes courage to speak the truth when the MSM (Main Stream Media, Men who have Sex with Men, but I repeat myself) and leftists and mealymouth wishywashy Milquetoste Rebublicans either lie or are terrified eunuch bunnies.
