Take it back to your private bedrooms. Thankyouverymuch!!”
So glad you posted this because it’s an important distinction (to me anyway). I use to be a bit ambivilant on the whole homosexual stuff, because I didn’t realize how sick their whole activism wing was until I read about it on FR several years ago. I was never in favor of gay marriage, but felt like you(I think), in that what they did in their bedrooms was none of my business as long as they kept it there. I had no idea what they were doing in our schools,etc. Now it’s plain for all to see on TV and in our society. Their in your face stuff is helping to rot our society from within,undermine our republic, and usher in more socialism.
I was also ambivilant because I have a beloved niece who is ‘gay’. I will never stop loving her...EVER. I had to step up years ago as a mother and father figure for her because my brother was a drunk and her mother was a drug addict..long story that I’d rather not go into. Suffice it to say, she is like a daughter to me and she is family. Thankfully..she is not into the whole homosexual agenda machine and she votes conservative.
Anyway...hope you can understand my real dilemma here. My guess is that there are other FReepers here in the same boat(with family members and/or friends who are gay). You won’t find us in threads making fun of gays or condemning them to hell like some Fred Phelps nut....but neither will you find us in threads supporting the whole homosexual agenda machine or candidates that do.
If you can live with that, then hopefully folks like me can stay around and continue to support FR and everything it stands for. If not, I will respect your wishes and with great sadness take my leave from FR. FR has been a big part of my life and has really helped me clarify my own beliefs through the years and for that, I am eternally grateful. I will always be thankful that I found this place and made so many great FRiends. May God bless you Jim for all you have done for our great republic.
Sorry for the long vanity here, but thought it important to post and clarify.
Kind FRegards,

Eh. One of the most vehement anti-gay posters here has an openly gay brother. I think she pulls out the “love the sinner, hate the sin” line now and again.
It happens.
That's an interesting comparison for your fellow FReepers. I've personally seen how homosexuality has destroyed families. While you may think it's admirable to support the practice of perversion in the end it will perpetuate their misery. If you really cared you should seek reparative therapy for your niece..no one is born that way.

I have sister who is a homosexual, and I am often on threads that do not "make fun of gays" or "condemn them to hell like some Fred Phelps nut". Nor do I withdraw from the issue. There is another way. One can be concerned and involved on the threads that address this issue and not be one of the above.
So, you are comparing conservatives who oppose the Homosexual Agenda to Fred Phelps?
Why not just compare us to the Taliban?

My guess is that there are also Freepers who have alcoholic family members, drug addict family members, kleptomaniac family members and family members who engage in all kinds of behavioral disorders. People who have family members like that and care about them do their best to encourage them back to a life of normalcy. Those who ignore that behavior or smile and wish them luck with their sickness are either cowards, or don't give a damn about them.
