You mean the sodomy law...right? The Court said they could bugger each other all they want.

I still dream fondly of getting to try one day, if I ever find anyone willing to have sex with me.
I am sure he has his pick of women.

The fastest-growing religion in North America and western Europe is the sternest: Islam.And no one dares call Muslims bigots or intolerant.

David Frost likes to tell an anecdote from his mammoth post-Watergate Nixon interviews in the 70s. The former president was notoriously bad at small talk but, one Monday morning, decided to make an effort and, while the cameras were setting up, asked his interviewer, ''Did you do any fornicating this weekend?''Sometimes I wonder if Nixon didn't have a mild case of Asperger's Syndrome.

LOL! did you see the movie Night and Day with Cary Grant? Cole Porter wanted Cary to play him so he obliged but it was all a made up story. His true story would've been much better!

gayness celebrated at the heart of society, and traditional Judeo-Christian morality relegated to the shadows, even though followers of the latter vastly outnumber those of the former. Could be worse ... Christianity does much better when it's irremediably countercultural. Welcome to the remnant, folks!

Maybe I'll become Islamic... at least their religious leader aren't suppose to be porking the male parishioners, indeed it seems like a prerequisite in many of the branches of Christianity. I can just see the hiring of ministers today, Youre a great and inspirational religious leader, but Im afraid were looking for a gay minister- its all the fad!!.

If you think health care costs are high now, wait until all these same-sex deals get set up. The system is already ripe for fraud - what's to stop a bunch of straight roomates (maybe an entire frat house) to glom onto the benefits of one working man in the bunch?

OMG. Where have you been? Islam and homosexuality have been linked since Day One. Boys are called "precious fruit." Lord Byron, a bi-sexual, commented on the homosexuality of the Muslims.
Remember Johnny Taliban? He went over to be a boyfriend of several Islamic men. One wrote something like this, "But his new friend is not loving him the way I was loving him."

Please add me to the ping list. Steyn is the best of the polemicists.
The article strikes me as libertarian rather than conservative. The quotation from another article is more of the same. Perhaps he thinks it is a matter of custom, preference, and privacy.
However, I think we are in the tail end of a losing war with the homosexual culture. Heterosexuals have lost the war because we gave up on the institution of marriage. With that burden out of the way, nothing could stop abortion on demand or any form of sexual license. As one wit said, "When God is removed from the equation, any orifice will do." Thus bestiality is now the cutting edge with Princeton ethicist Singer. Here is one link: Singer

Exactly. Liberal religion is a contradiction in terms. You can be a good liberal or a good religious believer but you can't be both. Liberalism exalts individual autonomy and freedom from absolute rules of any kind whereas on the other hand, religion insists upon restraining worldly desires and fearing God. The two are in tension and ultimately incompatible. People perceive liberal churches and synagogues are little more than sounding boards for the liberal agenda with a sprinkling of superficial spirituality added for good measure. Its all about feeling good not doing good. As a result liberal religion is slowly but surely fading away. I have no doubt which form of religion will be around in century: the one most hated by liberals and scorned by the elite culture: evangelical Christians and Orthodox Jews. In a way history revels in its own twisted irony by making religion less instead of more accomodating to the licentious mores of the dominant culture.

"Now the Spirit speaks expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith,".
Paul warned Timothy about a departure from the faith that will occur in the end times. Paul also spoke of this in Second Thess.
"let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first..." 2Thess 2:3
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears, and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables". 2 Tim 4:2-3
Just a sign of the times, as warned about in writing almost 2000 years ago.

Could be, but how do we know that David Frost is telling the truth?A very good point. A lot of people don't know that Frost first made his name doing topical, politically-based TV comedy in the UK. In fact, the members of Monty Python met while working on one of Frost's TV shows. They absolutely despised him, and when they formed Monty Python Frost knew it was going to be big and begged them to let him be a member of the troupe. They told him to ask again sometime around the year 3000.
In the "It's A. Tree" sketch, the smarmy, wood-interviewing host Arthur Tree is essentially a parody of David Frost in all his slimy, celebrity butt-kissing glory.

Isn't it weird? Half the time gays spend howling that straight people want to force our way of life on them and make them live just like us.... the other half they spend howling that they have the right to get married and have children... just like us!
