So, with gay marriage now legal in 12 states support currently over 50% is there anyway conservatives can maintain their views on the matter? 26% rise in approval in just 15 years and the number shows no signs of stopping. Is there a legitimate argument or is this just the civil rights fight all over again where the older generation eventually caves into modernity.
so now people can't have different views according to you the fake republican?
stop yanking our chain you are Republican..you have all the views and snobbery of a liberal..
wear it proud
So you have to be a bigot in order to be a republican today? Geez can any one tell me why we cant seem to win an election anymore? Let me help you out here Stephanie and im going to be really blunt so I hope your geriatric ass can handle it. YOU and the rest of your radical conservatives are the reason we lost the last election and will continue to lose elections until we purge the stupid from this once upon a time great nation.. You force the sane to run on platforms they dont believe in or else pastor jim of the southern methodist baptist church of West Monroe Louisiana will tell his congregation that this man was sent by the devil!
Open your eyes to the world that is fucking around you. Homosexuality is normal today. Hating those who are gay for that reason makes you look like an ignorant ass who hasnt left the 1920's. Im tired of people telling me I cant be a Republican because I dont hate a certain group.. You ma'am are not a Republican, You are a bigot, nothing more, but im sure a whole lot less
Good day
I believe that you are a Republican. In fact, the GOP keeps wanting to move to the left every year, so why not just buck up and join the DNC? Hmm? In fact, when is the last time anyone in the GOP actually limited the scope and power of government?
As a conservative, I oppose government even being involved in marriage for anyone. Why should not all Americans have the same rights as people recognized married by the state? Must the state approve of only certain sexual/family arrangements and not others? This is absurd.
Here is my take on gay marriage. Gay marriage is nothing more than an attempt to make the gay lifestyle more socially acceptable. Once it becomes law, it will be like outlawing slavery in the 1800's that was once socially acceptable when it was legal. After centuries of being illegal, slavery seems to us to be absurdly immoral but when it was legal people thought nothing much of it. Or how about abortion? Before it was made legal, the consensus was that abortion was immoral, but now that it has been legal for decades, the pendulum of public opinion has swung the other way. That is the power of the state upon ones moral stance. History proves my point. As we see more and more places in the US making gay marriage legal, we see more and more people approving of it.
So why does this concern me? Gays in the US account for only about 5% of the population, but also account for well over half the AIDS and STD cases in the US. Specifically, I'm talking about gay males. It is an unhealthy and dangerous lifestyle. The facts prove my point.
Of course, most would say that you can't help being gay, but then, most don't take into account ancient Greece and Sparta where all males dabbled in gay sex. From this we can see that the lifestyle is socially mediated. I'm not saying that there are no genetic factors that influence a few, rather, I'm simply saying that the majority of people can be influenced heavily by social norms to swing that way who would not ordinarily do so. History proves my point.
