Marco Rubio Warns Christian Conservatives of the Costs of Gay Intolerance
NY Times ^ | August 12, 2016 | Jeremy W. Peters

Posted on 08/13/2016 7:21:55 AM PDT by C19fan

Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, who has faced widespread condemnation for agreeing to speak at a conference alongside Christian conservatives who have denounced homosexuality and gay rights, used his speech to the group on Friday to warn of the costs of intolerance.

His remarks in Orlando, Fla., not far from the site of the massacre at a gay nightclub in June, were his most extensive yet in public on the subject of prejudice against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. And he struck a notably softer tone than during his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, during which he repeatedly reaffirmed his opposition to same-sex marriage.

You say, “Marco?” The nation answers, “Polo.” Hopefully, this guy has a second career idea, because he’s done politically.

Don’t you dare lecture us on “intolerance” when you want to bring in thousands of people who think gays should be executed. Perfect example of the regressive left.

There is a difference between tolerance and intolerance that relates to acknowledgement vs acceptance and endorsement.

The gay gestapo takes non-acceptance as intolerance and tries to put every caustic descriptor on those who just don’t endorse that lifestyle. The non-endorsement is by no means an abrogation rights affirmed in the Constitution. It relates to choice and preference, and one’s preference choice isn’t up to the other perceived aggrieved party to determine.

If the perceived interpretation of that choice is judged as wrong, then why does the gay gestapo’s support of abortion harp constantly on the choice of a woman, over her own body.

Rubio wasn’t content to just give the Democrats a permanent majority, now he wants GOP voters to give up their rights.

Yes, we know that gays are intolerant, Senator Rubio. Thanks for the warning, and keep up the good fight. . . .

Oh wait; that’s not what he meant. But he’s Tea Party, so how could he?

I'm pretty sure the nation answers "Homo".

Of course he is since he is a closeted homosexual who is anti-Christian and wants to return us to the Nero/Caligual days of “anything goes” including incest and pederasty of the Greeks. As Dostoevsky said: Without God, everything is permissible.

What is it Rubio? Either Evil is Evil or not. You CAN’T have a “Justice” system which promotes evil and vice, since it collapses civil society as Cicero stated 2000 years ago.

Rubio is forcing a Vice System onto our children, where you can do disgusting, vile things with your body and call it “Good” and “Natural” (for the children)

That is a World where there is no Good and Evil—just do it if it FEELS good-—and if you “judge” (think), YOU are evil, not the ones sodomizing each other, and normalizing it for the children.

Rubio is desperate for his foam parties and his little excursions in the parked cars again. He wants his Satanism to be respected and endorsed.

Right or wrong, a large majority of Americans simply don't care about homo issues...except to perceive ANY restriction put on them as bigoted intolerance.

Every kid in school is exposed to homo mainstreaming and will grow up believing it to be a civil rights issue.

All of them.

FoamBoy. Graduated law school, went right into politics. Even Hillary did a turn as a partner in a regional law firm before going politics fulltime. Read that as Rubio is more dangerous to your personal well-being than Hillary, because that is what I am in fact saying. I don’t care what Limbucks says. Rubio burns through cash on the personal level and there is nothing more dangerous to your personal liberties than a politician who needs money. He will sell your ass out every time.

This is a guy who has nothing else going on. And because he has nothing else going on, he needs a patron— someone who will underwrite him in exchange for political favors. Enter Norman Braman.

Marco Rubio is nothing more than a barmaid at La Floridita, he’ll serve you strong drinks then when he thinks you’re primed he’ll offer something “special” for a few dollars more. Steer clear.

BTW, Rubio fails to placate the hardcore homosexuals.
In a speech laden with scripture, Republican Sen. Marco Rubio on Friday compelled church leaders at a conference here to “abandon the spirit of judgment” against LGBT neighbors. The remarks came on the two-month anniversary of a shooting at the Pulse night club located about 10 miles from the religious gathering.

But civil rights organizations, which had criticized Rubio for attending a gathering featuring some notable anti-LGBT speakers, said the speech would not erase the Florida senator’s “dismal” record on issues important to the community. …
The “spirit of judgment”, eh? We are already in a time when “(t)he law has become paralyzed, and there is no justice in the courts; the wicked far outnumber the righteous, so that justice has become perverted.”, and that just cannot last.
