....please read remaining part of the article, I was forced to excerpt and some of most important points were further into the article!!!!!

It should be a non-issue. As long as they understand that "rights" that are based on one's behavior is counter to the conservative platform.

Bump and ping. An older article, but it's a good one that I haven't seen before. Thanks for posting!

Scripter will be off line occasionally between now and the middle of September. I've agreed to help him out by running his homosexual agenda ping list.

Space for homosexuals? Sure. Space for the homosexual agenda? Not a prayer in Hell.

hey! Plenty of room in the republican party for everyone...
except constitutional conservatives.

Nobody wants those pesky folks around.

[montag813]

Is there room for gays inside the Republicans' Big Tent?

Is there room for Christian Conservatives? A lot of us are beginning to wonder. You can't own EVERY voting bloc. It makes sense not to alienate a PROVEN bloc in pursuit of another hostile one.

What important points? That Arlene Getz is in the wrong business and would more properly be employed as a defense attorney? That Allen Simpson has gone around the bend after spending so many years at the kennedy School?
This was just sad.

NO!

"Allan K. Simpson: I don’t think there’s anyone in America [who] doesn’t have someone close to them who’s part of the gay or lesbian population."

Unless there's some family member who's putting on a really good act, I do not have anyone close to me 'who is part of the gay or lesbian population'. I don't think this 'alternate lifestyle' thing is quite as prevalent as we've been led to believe.

Thanks for occasionally reposting these years-old articles ... its important to keep them in the news.

I have no problem with gay people voting Republican, or being involved in politics. They have as much right as the next person. But they just do it as individuals, not gay advocates. One reason for the negative reaction against gay people in some quarters is that professional gay groups are trying to force themselves and their private behavior on a public that doesn't agree with it. I believe in minding my own business and others doing the same. Busybodies of any ideology need to get a life. A person's private life is exactly that--private. There is no need for me or anyone else to know what these people do behind closed doors. And it is they who are drawing attention to it. If they would stop flaunting their proclivities, most of the negativism towards them would dissipate.

Personally, I see no reason a homosexual wouldn't want his/her taxes reduced and his country defended against terrorism. Bush could take 1/4 of the gay vote without pandering.

No!

I just started reading this article and I am totally nauseated. Here's a few gems:

Allan K. Simpson: I don’t think there’s anyone in America [who] doesn’t have someone close to them who’s part of the gay or lesbian population.

Pure unadulterated crapola. Just because he looks in the mirror and either sees a perv, or is surrounded with them (I neither know nor care) he thinks everyone else in the world is just like him and his (no doubt) east coast elite friends.

What about sidelining their agenda? I’m not into anything but the awareness of tolerance and the importance of an honest appraisal of acceptance

Why should Republicans accept sodomy and those who practice it? Why is this idiot a Republican anyway?

It matters not to me what they do.

This is exactly the problem. Homosexuals and their promoters want everyone to NOT LOOK at the elephant in the room. There is only ONE THING that makes a "homosexual" any different from anyone else, and that is their unhealthy, unnatural, destructive and immoral sexual practices. Why is that topic off-limits?

We’re not asking for anything special [for gays]—just openness, honesty, tolerance.

Double-speak. If you take off the table as a relevant topic what homosexuals do, then it turns into the pretense that they are a legitimate minority such as an ethnic or racial minority, which is an insult to real minorities.

Now I'll read the rest of the article and lucky I don't want to eat dinner anyway; I'm on a diet.

[First Amendment]

Ten years ago, after a decision like this [the Texas sodomy case] in the court, airwaves would have been filled with the horror of the destruction of the family. Now, sure it’s out there. But not in any way like it would have been 10 years ago.

Because the main-steam media is in the (back) pocket of the homosexual activists and their buddies.

And some conservatives (too many) have been frightened into silence, or even believing the propaganda of the homo-activists.

[Ahban]

I believe there is space for homosexual activitsts in the Republican 'big-tent'.

In fact, they can have my space, I won't be using it any more.
