This article has an interesting account from the Roman Empire, that will enable you to understand what will happen to America when the gay agenda seizes 100 control:

".....But our most detailed images of homosexual marriages come from the descriptions of Roman emperors. Nero, a depraved first-century emperor, married at least two men. He wed Pythagoras in a formal same-sex wedding by first putting on a bridal veil that made Nero the "bride" and Pythagoras the "groom." Every symbol of a classical marriage was present at this ceremony: a dowry, marriage bed, torches, and witnesses. Tacitus, the great Roman historian who records the event, even alludes to the fact that Nero engaged in coitus with the man in front of all the guests, stating that "everything was public which even in a natural union is veiled by night....."
How about that? A leader of a country engages in a public same sex marriage, and then has sex in public in front of the wedding guests.
In many gay pride parades in America, some gays expose themselves, and have oral sex in full view.
But you gotta admit it is fun speculatin'.
Moochie's nubbin demonstration.
FYI, no matter the particulars, Nero and his "bride groom" engaged in sodomy, not coitus. Coitus is a very special kind of sex that can only take place with a man and woman. You know, normal sex.
Good one.
No doubt. However, what is never discussed is the reason for the currency debasement.
Just as today, the Empire had financial obligations that were greater than its income.
Unlike today, this was largely due to the cost of maintaining the army, though corrupt officials and extravagant emperors certainly played a part.
One factor that doesn't get enough credit is that they never set up an effective method of determining successsion. This resulted in devastating civil wars every decade or two.
With all the idiocies of primogeniture succession to the crown in France or England, no successful general had an incentive to kill the King, and when the King died all knew who the new king was.
So all those kids who said trignometry is gay were right??
Nero = black, the color black, in Italian Pronounced NAY - ROE White = Bianco Bee ahn koe
I don’t remember much about history class...but isn’t it possible that homosexuality persisted until the time the empire fell?
Well, of course it did, as it has in all societies.
In fact, Hadrian, one of the Good Emperors, was a flaming fruit who deified his boyfriend when he died.
Homosexual acts were criminalized by 250 and the punishment was burning alive before 400.
Don’t see how much more drastically it would be possible to punish such an offense.
True, but for another view, compare Stephen Leacock's "Homer and Humbug":
"When I reflect that I have openly expressed regret, as a personal matter, even in the presence of women, for the missing books of Tacitus, and the entire loss of the Abacadabra of Polyphemus of Syracuse, I can find no words in which to beg for pardon. In reality, I was just as much worried over the loss of the ichthyosaurus. More, indeed: I'd like to have seen it: but if the books Tacitus lost were like those he didn't, I wouldn't."
(For those not familiar with the name, Stephen Leacock [1869-1944] was a Canadian humorist and academic. There is a building named for him at McGill University in Montreal.)
Implants both in front and in back. ;`-)
I could have sworn they were talking about OB. I thought it said the Emperor Negro. Watching MNF and blogging at the same time.
They also overextended their empire, started using mercenaries and got away from the professional soldier.
Well, not having spent much time in academia I don't view the classic authors as a chore.
But, truth to tell, I prefer Livy's style to Tacitus.
I have mixed feelings about Tacitus, having had a Latin course where we were expected to read all of the Annals and all of the Histories in Latin in one semester (for the final exam we had to translate several passages, without a dictionary). But he is the master of one-liners.
Livy is great, but it's too bad we don't have the later books.
He also murdered his wife and had his mother executed. But other than those three things, he kind of sucked as an emperor. There’s been a recent campaign to rehabilitate his sorry ass, originating in Europe.
Then we come (ahem) to Hadrian, who’s often praised on FR’s very pages.

Rand Paul: Time for GOP to soften war stance...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.[Posted on 01/31/2013 5:08:50 PM PST by xzins]
