[Jhohanna]

Plato push for homosexuality among troops. http://members.aol.com/matrixwerx/glbthistory/plato.htm Any other philosphers you wanna quote?

And then? Homosexuality far predates us... it didn't change anything about his teachings that remain true to this day. And in the Ancient World, homosexuality was practiced open and freely. Funny, we all still came into being.

Why does being gay automatically discount something, because you don't like it? How does it change the fact that the four virtues of politics are taught and challenged to this day? I'm sorry, but I'm not among the classic conservative homophobe stance. I love too many of them to be as such.

Does your husband know you are pushing the homosexual agenda? :)

That "Bareback Mounted" movie is going to be the death of us. Next it will be "Gumsmoke."

"Homosexuality far predates us"
That does not compute.

"And then? Homosexuality far predates us."


I value and respect Plato and do not join in anti-homosexual fervor.

but...

If homosexuality predates us then how were we born?

I might as well tell you that around here, that's one fight you're simply not going to win. Sell out our national security interests to the Middle East, we can do; live-and-let-live with American homosexuals.... uh uh. ;)

I have a gay friend (uh-oh, there goes another of my conservative "credentials") who's a stinkin' leftie (though I've heard him say a few things on welfare and immigration that tell me he's still too far to the right for his party), but who, in just about any given political debate, can absolutely destroy most of the people who want to burn down theaters showing "Brokeback Mountain".
