“Let me ask a question - why should necrophiliacs or those who practice bestiality have any less Constitutional rights than you do?
Your question is a cop out.
Answer the question. Do gays they have less rights under the Constitutional than you do?
LJ's question is the whole point.
Answer the question. Do gays they have less rights under the Constitutional than you do?
They aren't "gay", they are homosexuals. Homosexuality is a sexual behavior the same as necrophilia and bestiality.
They already HAVE the same rights as everyone else.
And if you are pushing for special rights for them, I see a zot in your future.
One more time: FR's God-given Life & Liberty constitutional conservative activism agenda!!
First of all, “gay” means happy and carefree.
Homosexual means a practitioner of same sex sodomy (although that itself is a term invented by a sodomy practitioner to connote a sense of special community).
Second, since anyone who practices same sex sodomy - aka a homosexual - is mentally ill and of bad character, there should be some curtailments of opportunities such as serving in the military that should not be open to them. But serving in the military, or for example teaching in public school, are not Constitutional rights, and therefore there is no infringement on their Constitutional rights in disallowing them from such (or other) opportunities.
As far as Constitutional rights, I can’t think of any that would not accrue to practitioners of same sex sodomy - they have the right to free speech, association, religious expression, owning fire arms, the right to a jury trial, not have soldiers quartered in their homes, the protection from unlawful search and seizure, and so on.
And DJ is right.
The desire to have sex with animals, corpses, members of the same sex, blood relatives, coprophilia, etc are all paraphilias - mental illness in the field of sexual desires.
The are related.
You have chosen to strike out at the fiscal liberal rattlesnake and to allow the social liberal constrictor to coil itself around your neck.
RIP.
Social conservatism and fiscal conservatism are not opposed to each other. Quite the contrary. Each is necessary to the very survival of conservatism. Any supposed conservative who cannot understand that, is a trivial, unserious conservative. God save us from such feeble, half-hearted "defenders."
