Posting History. I checked.

Screaming always put *smile* as he posted his subtle (he hoped it was subtle) GLBTQ agenda.

Thank you, Jim. Imho, a very reasonable position regarding this issue.

A chicken hawk RECRUITS. That’s what homosexuals do. RECRUIT. I used to bar hop with my homosexual brother who himself was recruited by a rich, old chicken hawk. Most people have NO idea what the truth is.

***********************************

Imho, that is the problem. People simply don't know.

[metmom]

I see that now. Just catching up.

No lightning bolts headed your way either.....

My friend married a man who is an identical twin whose brother is homosexual. Very. So much for genetics.

LOL!!!

These things were once exclusively determined and handled by society -in a free marketplace of ideas much like the economic free market. We see here government that was tasked with the responsibility now subverting it and imposing itself upon society whether it be education, immigration,or the homosexual agenda -really all of the illegitimate has the same root cause cause; overreaching big government.

This is a great statement and right on target. Understanding this is key for economic and social conservatives to see common ground.

Before the "gay" movement had government power at its back (no pun intended) it was irrelevant.

Taking that government sanction away would render it irrelevant again.

LOL!

Lutefisk is the exception to that.

Lutefisk is the exception to that.

I could not agree more. I've seen how it is made, and the thought induces nausea and a bit of a dizzying sensation.

[Darksheare]

I’m told that my coffee is an exception as well.
I don’t know why.

Americans don't fear or hate people who are different than they. On the contrary, talking to a lot of people who have visited or lived in foreign countries, there is far more prejudice against foreigners there than here in the US. We're used to it here. Many of us have grown up being exposed in our own families to more than one culture and more than one language. I grew up listening to three languages spoken at family gatherings. The relatives were always careful to speak the mother tongue when they didn't want the kids to hear the family dirt.

*********************************

I could not agree more, mm. Americans are very accepting of other people and their cultures. Think of the variety of foods that are popular here. Italian, Mexican, French, Thai, Japanese, Chinese, German, Irish, the list is as varied as the countries of the world.

How many of us continue to celebrate our ancestral homes? We are a country of immigrants, and proud of it.

Reverse the very wrong SCOTUS decision - Lawrence vs Texas - that prevented states from enacting anti-sodomy laws if they so wished.

That needs to be done. Infringement on states’ rights by an out of control fedgov.

Once states can make it illegal, then it’s a whole new ball game.

Other point is, why is the fedgov in the business of pushing the homosexual agenda at all? Even if it’s not illegal? Plenty of things are harmful and destructive but not illegal. Should a destructive, immoral, mentally ill behavior be promoted just because a tiny percentage of people want to indulge in it, just because it isn’t illegal (any more)?

Should the gov promote sado masochism? It’s not illegal but it’s immoral, depraved and dangerous. Of course, that’s a bad example since S&M is a subset of homo-behavior that is being normalized.

Let me try to think of another immoral, destruvtive nutso behavior that the fedgov does not promote. How about bulimia? Eating tons until you puke? Plenty of people do it, it’s not illegal. But the fedgov doesn’t promote it or normalize it. It’s immoral because it is gluttonous and wasteful, and since humans are supposed to treat their bodies respectully, it’s also immoral, but the immorality is no where near the level of homosexual acts, so it’s also not a perfect analogy.

Okay, adultery. It’s immoral, and not illegal. Or “swinging”. The fedgov doesn’t promote or normalize these immoral acts, but they are legal and destructive and immoral. No “adultery pride” parades, with city streets closed off, mayors in the convertable, cops with rainbow attire, etc.

:) We order our coffee online from Cafe Britt. It’s wonderful coffee, but imho, the trick is to add an extra scoop for each three cups brewed. I do love a strong, bracing cup of coffee. Don’t get me started. :)

Excellent, excellent question, lj.

the homosexual bourgeoisie -- strikes me as good news.

Goldberg is just a pro-war liberal.

We would most likely return to the status quo pre-Lawrence. I think there were about a dozen states whose existing laws were overturned by that case. Most other states had repealed their sodomy laws in the '70s or '80s.

I understand that in some Hispanic societies that only the "catcher" is considered queer.

I call BS. Which societies are those?
