Let’s just say I hope that a majority of conservatives do not think it is the government’s job to rid our country of gay people.
But your position fascinates me. Do you think we should push to have employees fire gay people? If so, how about people who cheat on their spouses, or unmarried couples living together?
Any other sins that we should use government to punish? I realise you must be perfect, but are the rest of us to be removed from our nation because we are sinners?
Or do you really believe that only gay people are REALLY evil, and that the rest of us sinners are OK?
Should we also be looking to send all the athiests, jews, muslims, and budhists off to Australia or something?
Or would you go further, and send either the Catholics or the Protestants off as well? (not sure which one you relate to better — but there was a time where those two groups thought the other to be evil, and there are still protestant churches who think the Catholic church is evil).
So where do you draw the line? Who decides which sinners are good enough, and which sins the government should use to decide on this banishment you want?
Or in the end, is it really just that you hate gay people?
I am certain I speak for many when I say that using the law to protect and venerate homosexuality at the expense of family and morality is not what the Founders envisioned.
But your position fascinates me. Do you think we should push to have employees fire gay people?
It has long been my opinion that businessmen should be free to hire and fire for whatever reason they desire. It is their money. They should spend it exactly how they see fit.
If so, how about people who cheat on their spouses, or unmarried couples living together?
Sure, or any other aberrant behavior. Such things are signs of poor character, and weak will. Folks that live in such conditions are usually unreliable... Or at least that has been my experience, as an employer.

Where did I say "Use the government to punish?"
Or do you really believe that only gay people are REALLY evil, and that the rest of us sinners are OK?
By all means, no. Every woe that is upon this nation is directly attributable to moral turpitude, and the tolerance thereof.
Should we also be looking to send all the athiests, jews, muslims, and budhists off to Australia or something?
Of course not. But there can be but one moral code, and in the United States that is the Judeo-Christian ethic, and it has been so since her birth. Those who seek to change that fact literally chop at the very root of our laws and our freedom. It is an affront against our good nature, and an offense of the highest order.
Or would you go further, and send either the Catholics or the Protestants off as well? (not sure which one you relate to better — but there was a time where those two groups thought the other to be evil, and there are still protestant churches who think the Catholic church is evil).
I am Protestant, and have little good to say about the Catholic Church, at least in regard to doctrine. But their position wrt law and morality is hand-in-glove with the American system. In these matters, the Christians stand united.
So where do you draw the line? Who decides which sinners are good enough, and which sins the government should use to decide on this banishment you want?
It is not "banishment" I would require. But it is not the sort of behavior that should be accepted by society, nor is any sort of casual sex of any kind.
Or in the end, is it really just that you hate gay people?
I hate no one.
