The founders of this Republic would find it strange to think that someone could possibly believe that liberty ever entailed the right to do evil.
Yikes. Where is the term "evil" defined in our constitution? Who gets to decide whose lifestyle is evil? And if you live in a state where those in power get to decide what's evil, then you should expect that someday the winds may blow in a different direction, i.e. people with a definition of evil you don't agree with may take power and criminalize your lifestyle.

This is precisely what's happening now. As our gay brothers and sisters have acquired political power, they have learned how to use the power of the state to their advantage. Do you blame them?

How much better it would be to have a truly secular state, one in which none of us could legislate against the lifestyles of any other.

They may be your 'brothers and sisters', but they aren't mine.

In all, gays have contributed about $5 million this election to the Democratic National Committee alone -- a total that puts them among the top tier of Democratic givers

For the 2000 race, the DNC set up a new Gay and Lesbian Victory Council for those who gave $10,000 and more. It now has almost 100 donors, and about 13 members of the party's "Jefferson Trust," for $100,000 givers, are openly gay.
