Conservatism: The Best Choice a Gay Person Can Make
American Thinker ^ | 04/12/2014 | Chad Felix Greene

Posted on 04/13/2014 11:51:52 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

According to a an article by CNN Money on a 2012 survey conducted in consensus with studies by the Census Bureau and Experian (2012, 2013), gays make more money than their straight counterparts.  They also have less debt, higher education, and more equity in their homes.  Gays also have a slightly lower unemployment rate in comparison to the nation as a whole.  According to liberal standards, with an average of $61,500 for gays against the straight average income of $50,054, straight persons makes $0.81 per every dollar a gay person makes.

Gallup, however, found that when interviewed, gays report having less income and less education, and report being less satisfied with their standard of living and economic possibilities than their straight counterparts.  The Gallup survey notes imply that this is due to lack of “equality” in marriage, employment discrimination, and other factors burdening gay Americans.

The CNN article, and a corresponding article by Slate on the subject, both state that the reason for the improved financial stability is due to discrimination against gays, which causes them to be insecure about their financial futures and therefore work harder toward better education, better jobs, better money management, and debt-balancing.  By reasoning, being denied “social safety net” seems to dramatically improve financial security and independence.

Ironically, gay Americans seem to agree with conservatives here, considering that this is precisely the position conservatives take on financial and social independence.  Without government interference, individuals have the capability of growing their skill set based solely on their own will and motivation, building businesses and careers, and managing their finances more strategically.  This level of independence and personal responsibility makes anti-discrimination laws and regulations irrelevant as the individual acts on his own to insure his property, wealth, and career.

I worked with one, even got him to vote R. However he mistook my friendliness for something else and well lets just say we are no longer friends.

The best choice a homo can make is to repent and find Jesus.

Don’t know why the yags stole the word gay but never heard the usage myself until the 70s.

Truth is that Lesbian’s are overwhelmingly poor while Homosexual men are overwhelmingly affluent. Why is that?

I prefer the term “faggie” when referring to homosexuals. All disrespect is intended.

OBTW, if they’re `born that way because who would choose this lifestyle’ then faggies are in quite a conundrum. If there were proven to be a “gay gene” that could be detected through amniocentesis, then such prenatal procedures would simply have to be outlawed, in the name of political correctness.

They are half right about being born that way. We’re all born in sin, having come from an event called the fall of mankind. Somehow we all concurred in wrongdoing, busting apart the heavenly relationship we were supposed to have with God and one another.

Whether this sin has to express itself in that manner, is not necessarily foreordained. Life is a complex, messy thing.
