I've actualy always thought that the conservative position that wishes to legislate sexual behaviour amongest consenting adults to be rather contradictory to a true conservative value.

As far as I am concerned, those folks are far more idologically akin to the Libs.

Maybe their sprific agenda goals differ, but their tactics and mindset are the same. And it is based on the thought of themselves as an elite, better conditioned or better positioned to see the truth, and that all the problems of the world are "due to the shortcomings of others".

And a tip of the hat to one of the greatest among us here in America, the incomparable Thomas Sowell.

True, true, the majority is. But I'm not quite sure how that makes an arguement to the position that legislation of sexual behaviour amongest consenting adults is contradictory to conservative ideology?

I mean you must admit that there are many conservatives whom have taken the position which would absolutely not induce anyone in that demographic to find the conservative agenda appealing. These are people are well within their right of course not to pander to gays because I believe a persons morals are their own to decide as long as they don't infringe upon the rights of others. I'm just pointing out how I've always thought that legislation against the fact to be contradictory to a conservative ideology.
