I think Anti-Gay is Conservative...
We don’t embrace homosexuality, or adultery, or polygamy
or incest or abortion...
It does not mean you are condemning people to eternal hell, but those behaviours are not what any moral foundation is based upon..All those behaviours will destroy a moral society just like a nuke would....
I agree with you absolutely. Having an entire group with an agenda which will be destructive to the family unit is not in the best interest of society-OR a conservative movement.
My philosophy stumbles on that point, because it is right. And it seems that when our nation was founded, that was well understood.
But I also think our form of government, with our constitution, isn't equipped to enforce that level of morality. I think the founders expected the people to do that, through the churches.
I think our government is not suited to ruling a people who have lost their own moral standing. And I don't know if we can successfully use government and laws to dictate morality, even when that morality is key to our survival.
But of course, government's purpose IS to safeguard our survival. Which would suggest that we should legislate morality. And certainly we DO legislate morality, at some level.
Of course, I completely support the idea that government shouldn't SUPPORT any of those things. The question is how forcefully government should be used to oppose or prohibit things.
