Somehow trying to compare income taxes with normalizing anal sex just doesn't work.
What about drinking? Drunkenness is one of the seven deadly sins.
Again, drinking isn't going to drive our society into cultural paganism. Not comparable.
How about a man who's been divorced a couple of times? No government job for him?
Not if he's decides to shack up with a man, no. You don't seem to understand what I am concerned about. I am not asking for perfection. I am trying to stop the legitimizing of a behavior that will destroy our culture.
Bush said, when he took office, that he would base his appointments on qualifications for the job. He never said he would pass them through the Family Research Council Moral Filter.
He is free to make the decisions as he pleases. I am also free to with-hold my money and my vote.
If he shacks up with a woman, that's OK?
You don't seem to understand what I am concerned about. I am not asking for perfection. I am trying to stop the legitimizing of a behavior that will destroy our culture.
Again, you act as if homosexuality is something new. And Bush is not "legitimizing" homosexuality. He's appointing people to positions based on their qualifications for the job.
Should he fire all gays from government jobs? What about private employers? Should they fire all gays, no matter how well they DO THE JOB THEY WERE HIRED TO DO?
No jobs for gays, in your world, right?
Somebody might see a gay doing a job for, say IBM, and think IBM management condones gay behavior.
It's got nothing to do with condoning or not condoning. Being gay has absolutely nothing to do with whether someone can be a representative of the United States.
Guest is an ambassador, not a bishop.
