Perhaps they don’t think “gay” is ok, and have no intention of promoting the whole notion.

Note to homosexuals.....all of us are not going to convert. Some of us will choose to listen to God, and not submit to your pressure. We won’t answer to you when we die - we will answer to Him. It matters not what you think, or even what we think. Only God’s opinion on the subject is important.

There is also the thinking among young editors that who are we to judge the private behavior of others.

This is the thinking among a whole lot of people, not just "young editors." I understand it is also part of Mr. Reilly's argument. "We can't judge" the behavior of homosexuals, because that would be to acknowledge that there are standards by which our own behavior could be judged and condemned.

Not every single media outlet has to cover every politically correct book that comes out. The Conservative Media can rest assured that this book will get lots and lots of coverage. They cover books of substance that cover new ground. Nothing that we’re reading here indicates that there any new news in this book.

I ignore them. If they must do it, please do it in private. I do not wish to see it. The left is just pushing aberant behavior to hasten their Marxist agenda.

Why would I buy a book about queers? It is not that they refuse, it’s a waste of time and effort.

Read the article FReepers. People are shunning the book because it is anti-homosexual.

RE :”Nothing in National Review, not even National Review Online. Nothing in Weekly Standard, even though Reilly reached out personally to his old friend Bill Kristol. Nothing in the American Spectator, which has already rejected a piece on the book by one of their longstanding contributors. The Wall Street Journal didn’t even lead the publisher along. They said simply and firmly, “no.”
What is everyone so worried about?”

Yep, they all are abandoning marriage as an institution hoping to get younger readers.

Sorry, but “insert Tab A into Slot B” is never going to be replaced by “insert Tab A into Tab B.” Doesn’t make sense.

There is a pervasive ignorance in our society that teaches that just because an act is committed in a bedroom that it has no impact on others. Thus, the legalization of sodomy in 2003 by our “enlightened” SCOTUS. YOu’d think that the HIV epidemic would have clued someone in on the huge societal impact that even the most private of behaviors can have on a society.

Among the many things the world doesn’t need more of, yet another book extolling the virtues of perversion has to be in the top contenders.

Yet another reason the Repubs are just as bad as the Dimmos on the critical moral issues that bring God’s wrath down on our heads. Our nation has collectively gone stark raving insane.

In summary: Just another facet of the queer derangement syndrome (QDS). When queers aren’t vectoring diseases or rimming another male, the whining coprophiles are always screeching, I’m oppressed.

Total access to your kids is coming. Just as in Ancient Rome male homosexuals, aka coprophiliacs, were allowed to buy, sell, use, and trade young boys. Dragging civilization back a thousand years is called “gay” progress.

Thanks to the marketing of deviance by Hollywood perverts, people have simply bought into the vernacular set by the mentally deranged and so-called “gay” lifestyle. Why does what amounts to a man licking/rimming/felching another man’s rear constitute some kind of “gay” lifestyle?

The book’s argument:

“He suggests that inveterate sinning can lead to a deadening of the conscience and, in order to maintain inveterate sinning, an elaborate edifice of justification must be erected. The edifice of justification is built not just by the sinner but a willing society around him.”

Duh! Folks on FR have been saying that since...well, since before I joined in 1998. They want society to approve so they won’t feel guilty about doing what they already know is wrong. They want God to be replaced by Nike: “Just do it”.

“In the beginning of the same-sex marriage debate, however, the arguments changed. No longer could homosexuality be criticized.”

Nope. Not on FR at least. Heck, my standard reply to the homosexual activists is “When I see stallions doing other stallions while the other stallions seek it out, I’ll believe it is natural...” For variety, one can substitute ‘lions’ for ‘stallions’.

And as Paul wrote to the Romans 2000 years ago:

“For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things...For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.”

A summary of part of Mr. Reilly's discussion, from a review by Fr. James Schall:

We begin to feel sorry for someone caught in a vice. The person is sincere. We feel sorry for him. We begin to overlook what he does. But if one person can be excused, so can others. We have to tolerate such deviations. We cannot stamp out all vices or command all goods. The next step is that those who are seen to be excused or tolerated claim they have a “right” to be the way they are. If they have such a “right,” then obviously others have a duty to protect that right. But if someone has a duty to recognize a vice, it cannot be a vice; it must be held to be a good. But if it is a good, it is wrong to object to it or criticize it. Those who try to recall the original virtues are said to be hateful. The public then silences any criticism of the vice. It becomes established as a right and a good. The one who practices the vice has now silenced any opposition or criticism of what was once a disorder.
