Montana GOP policy: Make homosexuality illegal
Associated Press ^ | 09/18/2010 | MATT VOLZ,

At a time when gays have been gaining victories across the country, the Republican Party in Montana still wants to make homosexuality illegal.

The party adopted an official platform in June that keeps a long-held position in support of making homosexual acts illegal, a policy adopted after the Montana Supreme Court struck down such laws in 1997.

The fact that it's still the official party policy more than 12 years later, despite a tidal shift in public attitudes since then and the party's own pledge of support for individual freedoms, has exasperated some GOP members.

"I looked at that and said, 'You've got to be kidding me,'" state Sen. John Brueggeman, R-Polson, said last week. "Should it get taken out? Absolutely. Does anybody think we should be arresting homosexual people? If you take that stand, you really probably shouldn't be in the Republican Party."

Gay rights have been rapidly advancing nationwide since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Texas' sodomy law in 2003's Lawrence v. Texas decision. Gay marriage is now allowed in five states and Washington, D.C., a federal court recently ruled the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy unconstitutional, and even a conservative tea party group in Montana ousted its president over an anti-gay exchange in Facebook.

But going against the grain is the Montana GOP statement, which falls under the "Crime" section of the GOP platform. It states: "We support the clear will of the people of Montana expressed by legislation to keep homosexual acts illegal."

Montana GOP executive director Bowen Greenwood said that has been the position of the party since the state Supreme Court struck down state laws criminalizing homosexuality in

...they cannot deny fact.

Okay, okay; people can ignore facts; as witnessed by a particular poster.

“These sick teachers” have to deal with reality, not with your utopia.

Ah, you must mean the reality/agenda that is foisted upon them by the pushers of normalizing homosexuality, like your self.

I prefer to stay the hell out of other people’s bedrooms.

Same here. Would also prefer that the government stay the hell out of most rooms of our houses.

I wouldn’t ask the same of you.

You really need to stay on point, instead of being so interested in my background.

“the pushers of normalizing homosexuality”

I didn’t say it was “normal”

I just said it exists

And most every teacher in America would concur with me.

The other night I watched Larry King, who had the woman I forgot her name the Coach in the T.V Program *Glee* on, anyway’s she claims she is a Lesbian who was born that way. (The Great Deception) and she married her girlfriend last year. The girlfriend had another wife supposedly and she and the previous girl had a child each, both were impregnated by different sperm donors and now they are in a custody fight...NOW THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL, it is so INSANE it makes your head spin!

If a woman has no husband how is she a wife? she might be a widower but she is no longer a wife without the husband.

Yet with homosexuals they define what they want any way they want and FORCE it upon the good of society, as they pevert our laws on Marriage, Children and Family.

Yes Homosexuality should be illegal, if we want to save the upcoming generations.

You stuck your neck out with a post like that and it will probably be erased. That being said, I appreciate the graphic description of situations(in private)that oh so many pretend don’t exist or are “normal”.

The fact is that homosexuality is for the most perverted and abnormal sex acts that one human can perform on another.
Pretending otherwise is ridiculous.

Yes it is sick when you actually think about them doing acts together isn’;t it.

I thought like you years ago until I turned a corner in Boston and saw a homosexual parade, it made me feel sick.
The way they acted was not normal and what they did was not normal
The police had to turn a blind eye because of threats of lawsuits and being called a name.
My young kids were with me and try explaining why two men wearing daisy duke sorts in leather with straps around their waist are touching and kissing each others crotch.
Two butch looking women wearing I don’;t know what wearing strap on and stroking each others strap on.
It’;s just plain sick

I agree they do but two of the same sex having sex to get off is not natural or normal at all.
Based on that they think they should be married, have it taught in schools , raise kids.
Imagine a kid being raised in a homosexuals house, and then the little boy sees two men in bed in the morning or kissing while one is off to work, It messes that kid up for life.

If you must know, discussion of oral and anal sex does embarrass me.

But that doesn’t mean both hetero and homosexuals engage in these acts in private.

I was trying to make a point.

Can we pls discuss Montana GOP platform?

I know but sometimes you have to put that picture into peoples minds for them to see sense.

It’s just plain sick and anyone supporting it hasn’t thought about what they are wanting like marriage based on how they get off

if you dig deeper, you can figure that out all on your own.

and you are very rude for asking.

btw, I said the issue comes up in classroom.

by students, not by me.
