“Neither do I, as long as he supports individual Freedom, fiscal conservatism and is against 0bama in general...”

That's a pretty tall order don't you think? Do you think this guy will not support the homosexual agenda which, by the way, has nothing to do with freedom and everything to do with the violation of the 1A, 10A, freedom of association, freedom to do business with whom you choose, freedom of religion, and who knows what other anti-American evils the agenda brings with it.

Even straight Repubs are not fiscal conservatives; absolutely no reason for a gay to be.

You're either fooling yourself or you're trying to fool others on FR.

Well, he must be a Republican for some philsophical reason, so I don't know. I certainly can't make a knee-jerk judgement that that is automatically the case.

There are plenty of homosexuals who don't support "the homosexual agenda." Broad-brushing all gays into that peghole does not serve any useful purpose that I can see.

The fact is, many homosexuals are conservative in one or more areas of their lives, whether it is a belief in gun rights, privacy rights, fiscal responsibility, or advocacy of minimal government. Furthermore, many gays prefer to keep their sexual behavior where heterosexuals also believe it belongs: not in the closet, but behind closed doors as a matter for private, consenting adults.

It's just erroneous to imply or presume that all gays, or even most, support the militant, in your face, shove it down your throat (no pun intended) agenda which their more radical brethren espouse, and which all patriots can legitimately decry.

I'm certainly no fan of gays, but it's counterproductive to display blanket hostility by automatically presuming they can't be political allies at times. It's the same type of unfairness that leftists show when they hysterically stereotype all Christians as Bible-thumping, bigoted religious zealots.

I'm a Christian myself, and I understand that homosexuality is condemned as a sin in the Bible. But sin is sin, and we can stigmatize it in society while still permitting Free people to live their sinful lives as they pursue happiness as they see fit.

All of us have sinned, but few of us deserve to be criminalized, persecuted, or carted off to re-education camps just because some mob thinks we deserve it.
