Thanks for sticking with me, folks. I have done the research you suggested and I have changed my mind. You are right and I was wrong. Sorry, wita, but we lacked sufficient information. As for you, manc, I have been an active contributor to this site ten years longer than you and may have offered more value than you ever will. Take your advice for me to find another site and stick it!
actually you surprised me
You admitted you were wrong which today shows good character.
I thought you were just another troll or libertarian posing as a conservative as many of us on here have had to deal with in these last few months.
As for the longer than you on here, well that means nothing as many were banned a few weeks ago for pushing the homosexual agenda and were found to be long time trolls, some even as far back as 1999/98/
again I appreciate your character and your honesty
No problem. They haven't been overt in their stands until recently.
Keep in mind that any group that self identifies only by their sexual preference probably isn't conservative.
Seems like a good time to give a shout out to Al Gore for his awesomely amazing Internet. Thanks, Al!
Sorry, wita, but we lacked sufficient information.
My issue was not related to goproud, or any other group, but homosexuals in general who believe strictly in conservative principles and morality. There are some. They eschew radical, or even mainstream groups bent on changing the world and know within themselves that their tendencies, toward same sex attraction are not normal, and they attempt to live a “normal life”.
They can’t explain why they are what they are, other than the usual excuses, which they do not ascribe to. So they live as best they can with their weaknesses as most heterosexuals do as well. They do not seek special rights, they are married to women, they have children and raise families, and are generally in the closet to attempt to preserve a semblance of normality.
In other words, the broad brush does not cover everyone equally. Every group, including the GOP, has radicals on the left and radicals on the right and a rainbow in between. Party purity, is a wish, and I have had it, but I think it a death wish on occasion. As previously stated, the way to recognize a homosexual not out to radically change the world to his or her view, is to not recognize them at all because you won’t know their sexual proclivities. They will be in the closet.
It is pretty apparent that GOProud has an agenda that flaunts something that shouldn’t be flaunted and has nothing whatsoever to do with pride. Hence IMHO they are not conservative, other than some principles thrown in which they very well may believe in but are not much more than eye wash or a needed distraction under the circumstances.
