I have homosexual friends who would prefer less government involvement, fiscal responsibility, a reduction in federal mandates, and a host of other concerns that are similar to my own. That does not make them conservative, though, as they believe in and practice something that is antithetical to one of the bedrock principles of conservatism.

Just curious. Which bedrock principles of conservatism?

Perhaps my statement was rather presumptuous. I shouldn’t make such claims, as I don’t speak for anyone other than myself.

That said, I was referring to the importance of family values, which I consider to include marriage being between one man and one woman.

While all but one have avoided any vocal support for the concept of homosexual marriage, the very nature of their homosexuality provides a potential opposition to the institution of marriage.
