BS - under the constitution you HAD legally mandated “equality”

What you demanded was to carve yourself a niche as special citizens with preferred rights!

I welcome any gay people who care to vote for Trump and other good Republicans down ticket. There are quite a few gay people who support low taxes, a positive business environment, and protecting the unborn.

And here I thought that the Washington Examiner was a conservative source.

Unlike race, color, ethnicity, height, etc., which do not equate to immoral behavior, homosexual relations is an issue of morality. If being of a certain religion meant affirming a practice that results in over 90% of new HIV cases among men 13–24 and over 80% overall [1] [2] among men (after almost 40 years[3] of trying to tame it), and or increasing cost to taxpayers to treat or prevent it,[4] [5] then it would hardly find protection, let along promotion.

God made man and women distinctively different yet uniquely compatible and complementary, and only joined them together in marriage - as the Lord Jesus Himself specified (Mt. 19:4–6) - and only condemned homosexual relations wherever they are manifestly dealt with.

Yet there is still room at the cross for all who will come to God in repentance and faith, and trust in the Divine Son of God sent by the Father, the risen Lord Jesus, to save them on His account, by His sinless shed blood, and thus be baptized and live for Him. Acts 10:36-47

PS, i posted the above on Quora but since simply posting documented claims as above is not politically correct, then this answer was collapsed due to violating Quora’s plagiarism policy. Thus I told them in appeal,

The complaint is utterly unwarranted, for I quoted nothing, and the statistical claims were linked to documented material. Nevertheless, I provide footnotes for them. Please restore despite pressure not to.

Anyone who defines themselves or their organization by some alternative “sexuality” should be shunned by society in every single area.

“On Saturday, the Texas Republican Party barred the Texas Log Cabin Republicans, a state branch of the largest gay and transgender GOP organization, “

WTF! There are Republican trannies?? What’s next, child molesters? You cant be a fag and a conservative at the same time.

Republicans shouldn’t recognize sub-groups with agendas in which they don’t believe. No more need for a gay Republican group than an abortion Republican group, an open-borders Republican group, a racial-quotas Republican group, etc. Gays are welcome to work with Republicans to advance common issues, but they have no right, moral or legal, to force their agenda on the great majority of Republicans who believe in traditional family values.

Tolerance is not a virtue.

And why should we tolerate perversion?

Disappointed in the Washington Examiner on their tone here, liberal finger pointing and holier than thou approach.

So all this big tent talk is a bunch of crap. Ya’ll going to have to learn thst if they are not against us, they are with us. Republicans are slowly getting the black vote back...or dont we want them perople as well? Got to stop the “if the aint like me, to hell with them!” Democraps dont care who joins them. We have a crap load of illegals that can throw this election As long as they stand for conservative principles, and love this country, let God judge the rest, like he will with us. None of us are Saints, and unless you are working on a gay final solution, we have to live with them. Stand up against them when they try to force their lifestyle on us, but like I said, if they aint against us, they are with us!

I won’t be pushing for anything in their agenda, i wont lie and say we’ll be for you if you vote for us. screw that.

Let them be their own little 1-2% voting block party.

There are gays who are for us on economic issues but against us on social issues such as gay marriage. We don’t have to be stupid when we deal with gays. Suppose there is, say, a gay economist who doing a great job fighting socialism. Should we say, “Get lost because you are a log cabin Republican?” Of course not — give the guy a job in economic policy. But we shouldn’t plant him in the Dept. of Education.
