In 2012, Mitt Romney, to his everlasting shame, kicked Ric Grenell off his campaign because Ric is gay.

I doubt that is the reason the the former Massachusetts governor fired Grenell. How did he get on his campaign in the first place?

We have enough mentally ill people in the GOP we don’t need to invite faggots (2% of the population) who really never vote conservative anyways while distancing Christians from the party.
It is a sin that cries out to heaven for vengeance so no, I will never just accept them for any reason.

I don't know, but does that make any sense to you? Was Romney some kind of social conservative? Not even close. His campaign was supposed to be gay friendly.

And did Grenell decide he was gay after he was already on the Romney campaign? If he was invited to join in the first place, then why would that be the reason he left?

“Notably, the generational group that has the highest percentage of people who identify as LGBT is the youngest — Generation Z (born 1997 to 2002) — with 15.9%. That compares to 9.1% of millennials (born 1981 to 1996), 3.8% of Generation X (born 1965 to 1980), 2% of baby boomers (born 1946 to 1964) and 1.3% of traditionalists (born before 1946).”

“I hate to bring up Ric Grenell here because the least interesting thing about him is that he is gay, but he represents the choice to win that conservatives are making.”

Ok, one exception (apparently), although Tribalism seems to be the rule with people, so don’t be surprised if Grenell comes out for bestiality or ‘man-boy love’, when the Left moves on to those issues. If he doesn’t, I’ll be pleasantly surprised.

But the other 95% of gays working high up in the Republican Party became the “Lincoln Project” (a name not chosen by accident, by the way) and not only spent every waking moment trying to take out Trump, they also went after other Republicans - some of which hated Trump. Again, those were REPUBLICAN LEADERS just a few years ago, who Republican candidates now had to fight off.

So no thanks, we don’t need gays (or for that matter cross-dressers or pedophiles) in the GOP or any new party’s leadership - been there, done that, and it does not work out well for conservatives.

Yea, lets worry about the minority gay community inclusion and votes not the 80 MILLION+ that were flushed down the toilet by the cut throat traitor cowards in the GOP. They never learn their lesson because most are compromised and dirty with the rats

I’m not sure that I’d base policy on what ABC News says, since they twice predicted that Trump would be blown out in a landslide. In this case, I really wonder just how ‘gay’ they are and how much of their answer is meant to show that they instead ‘support’ the gays because it’s the ‘cultural thing’ to do these days.

God passes judgement on adultery, which is sex outside of marriage — defined by God as between a man and a woman.

Jesus upheld this concept when confronted by the adulterous woman about to be stoned. He expected her to uphold the commandment after He showed her mercy. Anyone who overtly tosses the commandment is worthy of the punishment ascribed.

Just wanted to remind you.

I could not care less what they do behind closed doors as long as they keep it to themselves. To me, that's always been a consistent conservative attitude. If someone believes in a smaller, less intrusive government and who believes in liberty then they are a welcomed ally. Over the years I have done business with, hired and occasionally socialized with gay people of both sexes. As long as they don't go on about their gayness, I could not care less.

At the same time, I don't want them to "waive it in my face" (wish I could come with a better expression) and demand the public to celebrate their sexual preferences. I don't and I won't and often that's where I part company with the gay people who I have known.

Welcoming gays will mean Republicans will be pressured to adopt some aspects of the LGBT agenda. This will disaffect more Christians than it gains LGBTs, and is thus a bad trade.

I would much rather we spend more time figuring out how to get more Asians.

Get the log out of your eye. Read Kurt’s article because you’ve obviously missed the point. While you sit in front of your keyboard and type out your sanctimony I’m going to tell you something.

Our son is gay. I knew this in my heart long before he would ever admit to us even after I would ask him. When he finally told us, he admitted also that he was afraid to tell us thinking that we would not accept him as ours anymore. Nothing could be further from the truth. Our kids were raised with unconditional love.

That being said, this amazing man who is single and childless is fighting on the front lines everyday against the woke culture forcing critical race theory on our children in our schools. He attends zoom meetings and schools board meeting and writes letters to fight against this scourge.

Yes, he is Conservative. He is exceedingly pro 2nd amendment. He took his 64 year old momma by the hand to teach her to shoot and get her concealed carry. And he is the kid who graduated Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa, putting himself through college with a bachelor degree and master’s degree.
He is the most kindest and compassionate person I know.
He is NOT less in God’s eyes. He is more.
And there are thousands out there just like him.

You have to subtract the McConnells before you can add in more normals.

If they kept it behind closed doors we wouldn’t have fag “marriage” and trannies reading books to kids at public libraries today. If a Homo wants to vote for a republican that’s fine with me but I will never vote for a gay politician nor will I ever support any of their disgusting behaviors.

Ok, then we’ll skip the gay Asians too. And any Thai “lady boys”.
