This is a month old, but I just saw it today. Searched and couldn't find it posted previously; apologies if it's a repeat.

I really like the fact that Newt didn't pander or waffle or try to be 'politically correct'; his answer was blunt and direct (and correct).

Yes; this is old news. But, Newt handled it well. The Gay Community will not vote Republican anyhow; so screw them. Oops.... on second thought, I’ll pass on that.

Outstanding! Newt has been un-pc nowadays. Top 2 posters are correct: these homos will never vote GOP unless the GOP holds a leather spandex night.

Finally the correct answer for those in special interest groups wishing only to balkanize conservatives and have candidates gushingly give them politically correct answers.

Great stuff.

And yet who, besides Newt, would have had the quickness of wit and courage to give this reply?

Mitt would have panders, Ricky Santorum would mamble about his grandfather and Ron Paul would have whined...

To support homosexual “marriage” is unconstitutional. There are no “special rights” for sodomy. It should be illegal because of the disease and dysfunction of the activity and it is always EVIL.

Sodomy is EVIL. Republics are suppose to support VIRTUE!!!!! That is the intent of the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God. WE have a standard for Right and Wrong and it NEVER INCLUDED SODOMY.

Adultery is a felony in at least one state, while we’re at it, by your standards we should begin stoning everyone who sleeps around too! Let’s really drive the point home!

You are lucky you don’t work here in Hollywood. Every major intersection has an HIV poster and billboard, including 2 fags getting it on right on Sunset Blvd. Effing nauseating. They are assuming everyone here is a homo.

It reminds me of the Ann Coulter exchange. To paraphrase it essentially went something like this: When that arab girl asked her about (I think) profiling on airplanes, and the girl said she didn’t think it was fair. To which Coulter responded with something like “Then take a flying carpet.” Then the girl said “What if I don’t have one?” and she said something like “Take a camel.”

Here’s a portion of the video:

No use sweating the gay stuff.
Gingrich should focus his energy on conservatives and the suicidal followers of Romney cult.

WEll, no-—I am NOT a muslim. In fact, most people think the muslims don’t like homosexuality-—when sodomy is their main recreation along with boys. It is the women they despise (and sodomize as well).

Actually, I do think ANYONE sodomizing a child, should get the death penalty.

Adults engaging in the despicable acts should be considered shameful and evil—because it is. Quite disgusting and dysfunctional and disease-causing.

I would prosecute people who commit sodomy esp. in public, just like any indecent act. Government has the duty to promote Virtue in societies. Republics without Virtue can not stand (Cicero, Founding Fathers).

Stoning? No, but governments should NEVER give them SPECIAL RIGHTS. It is stupid and dysfunctional. It is unnatural-—no animals commit sodomy in nature and they NEVER sodomize their young.....such evil, demeaning acts.

I would not allow any propaganda spreading such evil practices either. It (the act of sodomy) would be considered obscene and evil and dysfunctional (which it is). It would be against the law to promote such dysfunction in schools and in the military (like it was for hundreds of years).

They are doing it to promote and groom children into their lifestyle. It is a learned behavior-—but they have to force out Virtue and Christian Ethics and make the Bible “Hate Speech”. Sins of the Flesh are the easiest way to corrupt and warp the young and ruin their lives and all future relationships.

Gingrich to gay voter: Support Obama

Gingrich did not imply that he wants for all gay voters to vote for Obama. His advice was specifically directed at the few hyperpolitical gay voters who regard gay marriage as the most important issue of the 2012 presidential election.

71% of homosexuals accdg to CNS news are HIV positive. Now if that’s the case, would be fair to say that the fag community pay for 71% of funding for HIV “cures”?
