I wouldn’t wish to be married to you and I am damned sure of myself. I think it is now that you are giving in to peer pressure and the desire to not be thought of as “homophobic”. I feel sorry for you.

What's even better is I've worked with some gay men who WILL NOT vote for Obama because of the Economy, Obamacare and one of them is pro-life. They think these issues trump “gay rights”. They voted for Obama last time.

Which was Newt's point. If gay marriage is your defining issue, vote for Obama. If you want a better economy, vote for Newt.

He should respond similarly to the NAACP.

Exactly. And I think some of those voters will respond to that sort of straight-talk. Those gay men that I worked with were for gay marriage and went with that sort of wink-wink they thought they got from Obama that said “Gay rights” including gay marriage nationally were his top first term priorities. I don't agree with them but they are funny and easy enough to get along with and Obama’s lost them. Ha ha!

LOL. Like Utah actually enforces that law. Polygamy is a huge problem in Utah that they do nothing about. Motes and beams.

Also, don’t get your garmies in a bunch. I don’t cut and paste and I opened my eyes and left that evil cult and became a Christian. I will stop ‘grinding my axe’ as you call it when your religion stops lying to it members and starts telling them the truth.

I love it! Newt is expressing precisely and publicly what most conservatives think. I scream at my tv when issues like this come up, but no one can hear me. I think a person such as this gay voter, respects this type of response. It is clear, it is true and is not open for further debate.

Do what we did after 10 years in So. Cal. Pack it in and move to God’s Country. We’ve been in eastern TN for two years. It took one year to acclimate ourselves to the fact that people are decent, kind, and moral — sincerely. In CA, when people behaved that way, generally they were fishing for a favor, so we were suspicious when meeting people here. Here, it’s in the genes or something.

this is not small stuff, opposing the fetish normalizing IS conservative stuff. Romeny is too weak on this isue and thus we have it as a litmus test.

Well, I figure if we’re going to have people hammer morality, they may as well recognize the rampant, family-breaking, society-destroying adultery epidemic. If we’re getting ito the bedroom, then it’s so natural to begin with adultery; which actually affects people in a legal contract. Let’s start there and cleanse the inward vessel first! (I was being serious. If there’s a gonna be a holy war, you better be without sin first. And the hypocrits thought I was being sarcastic I wasn’t. Of course I don’t believe in their ridiculous assertions, but they may as well do it in the Biblical model!)

It was the homosexualization of our culture and promotion of “Deep Throat” by the MSM and atheists/Marxists/pagans to brainwash and destroy Christian/Judeo morality in the human species that even put that idea of “oral sex” into the minds of the masses. Hefner and Kinsey practiced sodomy and wanted to “kill off God” like all Marxist/Atheists. To vulgarize and destroy morality is the easiest way to destroy society because it destroys respect between men and women.

Most people wouldn’t have participated in such a degrading act which is disease causing ==except they were conditioned into thinking all the “cool” “popular” people participate in such hedonism and only “boring” “hicks” aren’t creative with their “sex organs”.

To think that “sex acts” are the sole pleasure producing human acts is animalistic and stupid. Knowledge and Wisdom and intellectual pursuit can be just as exhilarating—as can love of child.

Sex acts aren’t necessary to “prove” love—BTW. Just because you stick your organ in some orifice does not mean “love”-—it is lust—usually, unless used in marriage, where you commit yourself and life to others and the possiblity of offspring. That is “love” and not just plain lust.

Lust for women, brings very little happiness—in fact, destroys their health and all relationships-—that longtime “flourishing”—true meaning of happiness—not just 10 minutes of “pleasure” which destroys and demeans all relationships in the long run.

You, sir, are ruled by your “passions” and not your “intellect”. The sign of maturity is when you can master your passions and understand what true “happiness” (in the Greek sense) is.

So, you have bought into their definition of “beauty” and “love” and “narcissism” and “demeaning acts are “good”-—for “pleasure”. That is exactly what the atheist/homosexual mafia wants-—no sexual morality whatsoever. Then you have unrestrained sexual acts and the slippery slope always leads to Man/boy sex and orgies. Ancient Rome fell with children preforming sex acts in their orgies. They had child sacrifice also—and women had no respect.

The Samurai had no sexual morality. Boys were their sexual recreation. Same with the Afghani, same with the Ancient Greece. The idea that there is sexual morality came from the most perfect ideology/theology, Judeo/Christianity which led to the most prosperous, free, happy societies on earth-—but only because they applied Virtue to law and relationships.

No Virtue-—even Freud knew it—destroys civil societies and happiness. Happiness is entwined with Virtue-—Can’t separate the two according to the Greeks and the Founding Fathers and Christians. Homosexuals destroy the idea of Virtue-—call EVIL “virtue”. Throws Western Civilization on its head ==makes it a atheist/pagan/marxist hellhole of no Right and Wrong.

I do agree with you that it’s a poor title for the article.

My objection was only to the Washington Post's biased headline. But, of course, bias is their business.

Thanks for posting the video. When the story was first reported, all I heard was “Gingrich told a gay dude to vote for Obama”. I knew the reality was exactly what the video showed.
