Star understands.
yeah
Homosexuals can leave their money and property to whomever they please now. They can also get power of attorney so their "friend" can speak for them. What they WANT is to make peopel recognize a "marriage" . And they are trying to use the force of government to do it.
NONE of that is the point. They can do that NOW. They want to force people to accept “domestic partners”. In other words homosexual “marriage”. What about that don’t you get?

I’m sure most do. I’m also sure from reading the GOProud platform, that they don’t, unless they are lying in their platform. I have no evidence of that.
If they are not conservative why would they vote conservative?
So can someone unmarried and cohabitating, or engaged in frequent premarital sex ALSO not be a conservative?
I agree that a group “Premarital-sex Conservatives” would not be advocating a conservative position, based solely on sexual practices; but outside the ‘politically active premarital sexualist’ - can they be conservative?
Anyone can leave private property to anyone they choose. That is yet another matter not in dispute.
What is very much in dispute is the question of whether benefits that flow to a spouse must also flow to a homosexual partner. Should it be unlawful for an employer or the government to pay survivors benefits to a spouse and not to any other kind of partner? Making it so means using government power to force us all accept homosexual relationships and allocate funds accordingly. It would be the antithesis of limited government. This really isn’t rocket science.
If homosexuals believe in smaller government, they can vote with candidates who also believe in smaller government whether those candidates believe in the homosexual agenda or not. If they believe in smaller government but want to vote for big government liberals because they support the homosexual agenda, then that's their prerogative. It begs the question, however, of whether they are really "conservatives".
The point in question merely recognizes that private accounts would enable them to will them to their parners, as they can with all other private property, or that which you big government types would not take in inheritance taxes.
And for heavens sake don't start a group to advertise the fact..
A "conservative gay group" has dingle berries on their politics..
“It begs the question, however, of whether they are really “conservatives”. “
If you even need to ask that question, then the liberals have succeeded in splitting us up, and will win.
I am tired of politicians claiming to be conservatives, getting elected and giving us ever bigger and more expensive government. At this point, if you are for Constitutional government you are a conservative. If you are not, then you are not.
The Kosher (dietary), sacrificial, and other ceremonial laws from the Old Testament have consistantly never been applied to Christians.
Damn well put.
You are the word man.
Of course you can be involved in pre-marital sex or adultery and still be conservative. But if you join a free-love movement dedicated to using government power to make society embrace premarital sex and adultery(even more) you aren't conservative. You can be a conservative porn addict, but you can't found GOPornloversforselfabuse and still expect conservatives to treat you as a comrade.
It's astonishing that this simple distinction is so hard for so many people to grasp.
Well said. Love your tagline, too!
Most of the conservative movement is composed of sexual sinners because it is composed entirely of human beings. We are all sinners and nothing exposes human weakness more than our sexuality. But that, of course, is beside the point.

their whole manifesto is to promote the homosexuals agenda
and the communist manisfesto
TO ALL
It cracks me up when I hear people say I have homosexual friends and they’re conservative.
Really ask them if they want marriage, get kids, serve openly, go to their parades, folsom fair etc.
Hang around in their perverted clubs.
Homosexuals in the goproud are about pushing the homo agenda and it is so sad to see those idiots which state well I have a friend and he is nice I have no problem with their agenda
if anyone has not read this then please do as it is an eye opener and shows how they have been trying to infiltrate and scam people into thinking their normal .

There is no such thing as homosexual “marriage”. They want “rights” and they want government to recognize their “unions”. THAT is using the force of government and it is NOT Conservative.
“Should it be unlawful for an employer or the government to pay survivors benefits to a spouse and not to any other kind of partner? “
No, it should be a matter of agreement between employer and employee. Tha government should have no role in this.
