This evil, hell-bent gay-rights movement is communist-founded which openly announced, in its modern (post-Stonewall) manifestation, its objective of destroying marriage. Homosexual-Lesbian state-approved weddings is just another club to beat America’s churches into submission to the State."
I believe that the infestation of the Roman Catholic Church by a gaggle of homosexual pedophiles was conceived in communist minds in order to undermine Christ's Church and cause it to crumble. Their second target enemy was the western world, especially America.
How proud he must be. And now as father of the ‘bride’ he must make sure his son gets the nicest gown and an expensive reception.
And hopefully the near future sees him having lots of butt-grandchildren.
WRONG PARTY THERE ROB!!
Sen Portman was waiting for the right time to come out of the closet about why he supported gay marriage. Is this the lamest excuse ever? Back in the pagan days and in Sodom and Gomorrah they had plenty of cornholing and plenty of gay marriage. One Roman emperor married a horse. Gay marriage is a signal of a society in decline
I’ve been trying to come up with an analogy, so how about this:
One of President Obama’s daughters gets married (to a man) - then, using the same logic, the president is REQUIRED to change position and be against gay marriage, based on the principle that both forms of marriage cannot exist at the same time, for any length of time - as being proven out in Europe, where marriage, to younger people, is now pretty much a thing of the past.
If he’s going to betray us on that, what’s next? Would he send a donation to Planned Parenthood if he learned his daughter had an abortion? Or, as Andrea Lafferty satirically pointed out, if one of his children were a habitual drunk driver, would he suddenly announce that drunk driving should be legalized and renounce his previous opposition? It is possible to love your children without always condoning - much less institutionalizing - their choices. Yes, it is a CHOICE. I’m willing to bet the odds are 1,000,000,000 to one that if this were 10 years ago, or 100, or 1000, the younger Mr. Portman would have quietly lived his life with the partner of his choice, probably but not necessarily a woman, without politicizing his personal bedroom activities; and his father would have loved his son without seeking to change 4 or 5 thousand years of tradition on his account. From now on we can call Mr. Portman an ex-conservative, and were he to run for office again I hope his constituents will keep that in mind.
If he discovered that his son was a heroin addict, would he then come out in favor of legalizing heroin?
Portman strikes me as simply one of two things (or a blend of them): a faux traditionalist or a parent who refuses to admit his kid is screwy. Ohio country club Republicans are real dandies.
Mr. niteowl77
Just, FYI, I have been on this forum since 2000, and am certainly no troll. I vote conservative candidates only - no RINOs.
Personally, I don’t care if gay people have civil unions or whatever the heck they want to call them. Marriage is an institution of the church. That said, if civil unions keep gay men out of the bath houses and spreading HIV, then I am for it.
First of all, he didn’t turn “gay.” He’s become a homosexual . . . period. “Gay” means happy, and if he thinks that the homosexual lifestyle will make him happy, he’s got another thing coming: alcoholism, STDs, gay men’s bowel syndrome, AIDs, suicide, violence, more than likely a lifespan of 39-41 years tops, etc.
I would encourage such a child to go back to church, get counseling from his priest or reverend, pray, and hope that Christ will lead him out of such a horrible lifestyle.
That’s a hell of a lot better advice than to be an enabler. Portman should be ashamed of himself.
He seems mighty enthusiastic about it. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him come out himself at some point. After all, don’t they claim it’s genetic, not choice?
They are out and they are proud: Proud of what?
Fellatio? or sticking their thing in poop?
Is that something to be proud of?
These are sick individuals, and any father would be ashamed for his son. Sure you can still love a person and be ashamed of them at the same time.
It is a time for chosing. Portman chose to forsake his principles. Let’s re-dedicate ourselves to God and pray we don’t forsake His principles.
I hope he gets primaried. I donated to him last time. Better start looking for another candidate.
I fail to see how this changes anything.
It was an evil sin before his son chose to live that lifestyle so it is still an evil sin.
Its your son and you will not stop loving him but that does not mean you have to turn you back on the word of God...
“I have come to believe that if two people are prepared to make a lifetime commitment to love and care for each other in good times and in bad, the government shouldn’t deny them the opportunity to get married,”
Oh really?
Brother and sister them?
Or Mom and son? Or a 42 year old and a 12 year old?
Why is he limiting it to 2 people? Why not 3 people?
Could it be that maybe, just maybe, his kid might need psychological help, instead of condoning deviate behavior?
