I would agree with you completely regarding advancement to fill quota. It is a moral hazard. But I have news for you that you are probably already aware of. The man sitting in the White House has blown that arguement all to hell.
We already have moral hazard to the nth degree all around us. This man was pushed forward over and over again without the top grades, top acumen, top performance only because he was the “well spoken black man” and didn’t he make us feel good about ourselves?
After forty years of advancing women and minorities this way, nothing that is done for the homosexual, fair or unfair, will dramatically alter the moral hazard landscape with which we are already riddled.
Good response.
I guess I am just committed to fighting it in every way that I can, whatever it takes, contacting the White House, my representatives, educating others to whom the issue isn’t really important, and so on.
I have found that most liberals (and homosexuals as well)don’t understand the conservative attitude towards homosexuality.
Most (but not all) conservatives don’t give a rat’s ass what people do in the privacy of their home. That is their business, and is consistent with the conservative principles of staying out of the private affairs of others, if it doesn’t affect the rest of us directly.
What we DO care about are the attempts by the left and the homosexual community to publicly codify that behavior and give it the imprimateur of government approval and equality in all respects, legal, financial and moral with heterosexual couples whose primary function is (and should be) the raising and rearing of children. That is a difficult job and deserves the legal, financial and moral underpinnings of actual government support to encourage it and assist it in any way. And we all have a stake in the outcome of that, citizens who can participate in a meaningful way in our society.
I am married with no children, but I recognize that married couples with children need any breaks they can get from the government, and special privileges to boot to accomplish their jobs as parents. So I have a stake in it too.
