ConservaTeen-I have a question that I would like some insight on from someone your age. Why is this issue (gay rights) so vital to young people when there are so many more pressing issues that face the country and impact our daily life, no matter what your sexual orientation is? Plus, on this issue, at this point, what more do you want? Pandora’s box has already been opened, we’re just trying to protect religious freedom and free speech in the face of the onslaught so we don’t end up like Europe.
Is it though? Too much talk about gays turns off younger voters, but I don't think they're voting on that basis. Too much talk about marijuana has the same effect.
Too much public moralism about private life, too much talk about how everything went wrong in the 1960s, ditto. If that was before you (or your parents) were born, you tune out talk like that.
The same reason so many people in this country are single issue voters!
