"The Boston Tea Party was protesting one thing only - taxation without representation. They weren’t protesting any social issue."

The Boston Tea Party wasn't watching sodomites parading in the streets. Although sodomy has always been some place in society, not one time did anyone in New England in the 1770s, or a hundred years before, or a hundred years after have to watch the encroachment of sodomy into general society.

Not one time did colonists worry about a military allowing perverts to live and serve in close quarters with their sons.

A nation can have the correct fiscal policy and the right to keep and bear arms, and still decline and be destroyed from within by its own moral degradation and a government who won't protect the general moral welfare for its traditional moral citizens.

If you are young enough, you will live to witness the destruction of America from within under capitalism and with the 2A and more than half of the adult citizenry carrying weapons.

See post #331.

Even if the citizens of Boston did have queers parading around, that still would have no connection to the taxation without representation issue because that was a beef with the British, not other citizens’ behaviors. If they were to protest queers parading in their streets, it wouldn’t be carried out by poking their financial finger in King George’s eye back in England. They wouldn’t toss the tea into the harbor. They’d beat the $hit out of the queers there in the streets and throw them in stocks in the town square. Therefore, your argument is ridiculous. Call it a straw man argument or argumentum ad apples and oranges. ;)
