For these extreme narcissists following their “impulses” is the goal of their lives. Not being the best person they can be and perhaps helping others.
Exhibiting their self centeredness for the world to see is the ultimate highlight in life.

"BTW-This weekend Austin is not only hosting the Gay Pride Parade but also the Republic of Texas Biker Rally which brings over 50,000 people on Harley to town!" And yes, there is a contingent of Gay Bikers.

Will you be attending both parades or just the one?

Dennis Leary’s show “Rescue Me” (FX) had a couple of shows devoted to the gay firefighters that were lost 9/11 and the house had a hard time believing that ‘firefighters could be that way’, with all the “You are full of it, he was married and had kids, so he was straight”.... the consensus finally figured out that being gay wasn’t bad as one “got to hang out with the guys, didn’t have to put up with a wife’s nagging, watch all the sports etc, with DL finally surmizing: BJ’s and ball games, a guys dream come true”

It doesn’t matter if 5, 10 or 100 fire trucks drive down that road in support of homosexuality, it still doesn’t change the fact it’s a sin.

Even if 99.99% accept that homosexual sex is OK, it still doesn’t change the fact it’s a sin.

They can pass laws, accuse me of hate speech, and punish me if I don’t shut up, but homosexuality is still wrong.

Doctors can claim homosexuality is normal and even use technology to counter nature. They can cure or halt the diseases and even give homosexuals children, but nature itself is unchanged. Homosexuality is still abnormal and unnatural.

Homosexuals need to do the same thing as everyone else who sins, including myself—repent, turn away from your sin, and turn to God. There’s truth and wisdom in these words for all who will have it.

No, the Mansion was not total loss. If it were a total loss, they would have to tear down was was left and rebuild. Since it was not "destroyed" or a "total" loss the State of Texas can begin to restore the Mansion.

The charred Texas Governor's Mansion is structurally stable and the first steps toward restoring the 152-year-old historic icon began Thursday after arson investigators lifted their tight cordon on the crime scene.

From your link:

"And just as all the furniture and historical artifacts were out of the mansion and in storage, so were all but a few of the original windows."

That's great news.

So, the Texas Governor's Mansion will not be any less authentic than the White House.

(The interior of the White House was entirely gutted and rebuilt in 1949 - 1952.)
