I appreciate your response. It is well-reasoned and free from the emotion that has boiled over here at times. The part where I agree with you most strongly is how the militant homosexuals are constantly pushing for approval and then lying about their intentions by insisting it's just about "equality". It's not. It's about power and influence. They play politics and pretend it's just a personal issue, which is not only dishonest but cruel to those who really do just want to live quietly - and there are quite a few of those, I do believe.

I also understand, and share the anger that traditional Christians feel toward the radical homosexuals, who on one hand preach "tolerance" (for themselves, that is) and then express vile hatred for Christians at every opportunity. My wife is a Christian (I'm Jewish) and we have talked about this issue at length. She (as I) has friends of that "persuasion" and like me has difficulty reconciling their (outwardly quite normal) behavior with that of the sort that march in those frightening parades, whether on Boylston St. in Boston or Folsom St. in San Francisco.

We were both raised in traditional, conservative-oriented families (even me, the Jewish guy; my parents were 2nd generation and still very strict). My running joke about that is how the 1st American generation was all about "say your prayers before dinner"; the 2nd was: "wash your hands before dinner" and the 3rd is pretty much: "only two cookies before dinner". Which is to say, we've lost a lot of discipline, order and purpose as the traditional family has spun apart. Part of the challenge of dealing with gay Americans as individuals is the knowledge that they do not help that trend at all.

LOL, I was raised in foster homes and I don’t go to church though I do say my prayers every now and again.
To me it is about their agenda and how it is taking away from a traditional family, traditional upbringing for kids, etc..

I have no desire what you, my next door neighbor or the guy down the street likes to get off or what they do in bed.
What annoys me is how they want us to know, how they should, be judged as a normal family.
There is no way a child who is adopted can be alright when they grow up seeing two men as two fathers lying bed , kissing holding snuggling etc.

I just never cared years ago , I really never I had kids and then saw what I saw and it took me by surprise.

They have declared a war on the traditional family Christians etc with the backing of the MSM who have really pissed me off since obama came on the scene years ago and so in my case I will fight their agenda.

It has to stop.
The school czar right now has taught fisting to kids, fisting I mean come on that is sick.
Anyway no need for me to rehash my views but I wish you a merry Christmas and hope that we do send a message to the GOP talk radio etc etc etc that they need to stop being cowards, to call out bias in the MSM, to get people to call and put pressure on our reps instead of them ignoring us because of special interest groups .

I have to go now as my oldest has scarlett fever strep throat and a fever of over 102 so I bid you a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
