What I mean is this: northeast Republicans are not as religious as typical Conservatives. I should know, but my parents when I was growing up, didn't take me to church but my parents were always supporting the Republican candidates. (My dad was an engineer for UTC, and my mom was a housewife). They knew that abortion was wrong, but they don't protest, my parents supported Nam and my brother and I campaigned for Nixon.
Today, my son doesn't care if his friends are gay (2 of his friends are) or if his friends abortion views are different then his friends. Every generation views will be different. Do I mind if my son's have friends who are gay?? No.
I am 98% Conservative...2% LIBERTARIAN Views.
Please don’t presume to speak for all “Northeasterners”.
I don’t mind if my neighbor is gay either. I do, however, mind my kids being taught it is a really nifty lifestyle. I do mind every TV show and movie interjecting gay characters into every cast. I do mind the constant preaching regarding the (non) issue as though it is the biggest and most important focus the country has. Those sorts of insidious and insulting things I do mind.
Are you saying all “conservatives” that aren’t northeast moderates are gay bashers?
Only your type of conservatism is gay friendly?
The “we don’t mind if our neighbor is gay” is no different than calling the rest us homophobes. Then you double down with the religious reference.
Conservative my butt...these are left wing talking points.
